Yeah if you enjoy the job you absolutely should not switch for balance reasons.
It's fun and busy but I just feel like i just don't do much
@leaden ginkgo The jump from 515 emerald to the 520 had a big difference imo, but I couldn't feel anything from 520 to 530 for some reason
gonna be dependant on substats as well
like healer, unless the 520 is upgraded to 530, relic/emerald is superior
I just unlocked Ishgard and checking shops there's a lot of gear I can buy that's really much better than my own. Should I upgrade everything or will they fast become meh? I'm level 64 DRG trying to plow through MSQ (and DRG quests that have popped up).
I currently have these Augmented Ironworks gear but they're really a lot worse than the shop stuff wow.
You shouldn't buy gear from shops
He just got to ishgard
aug ironworks should last til like 64 or so
You have your level ranges mixed
He's SB level just starting hw
He'll get gear from msq
what ilvl do i need to enter bozja? wanna start levelling from 71
sweet, any recs for AST essences / lost actions?

Augmented ironworks absolutely does not last till 64. You're thinking of the shire gear
Aetherweaver is probably the most important essence as a healer.
Profane if there's plenty of healing around.
hello ive heard game is free till level 60 does that mean you still have to purchase a subscription or can you just download and play]
The latter
The free trial does not require a subscription no, but it you already have a service account you cannot then go back to the free trial iirc
Lots of restrictions though.
ty
how do I get omni prisms?
!item Glamour Prisms
!item glamour prism
these?
You can craft them as any class but Culinarian at level 15. they can also be bought at your grand company for seals or bought off the marketboard.
Hello, I’m a new player. Like lvl 5 on a free trail account just checking things out.
Been watching YouTube all night on job videos.
What the hell is a Blue Mage 😂 is this like a meme to do when you run out of stuff to do 🤣 I’m so confused
Blue Mage is basically side content as a class.
You learn spells from fighting monsters and can use them to be really OP in undersized/solo/premade content
For example, this spell
!action basic Instinct
Increases movement speed by 30%, and healing magic potency and damage dealt by 100%. Also ignores the damage penalty inflicted by Mighty Guard.
Can only be used in duties intended for two or more players while playing alone, while no other party members are in the instance, or when all party members are incapacitated. Effect ends when joined by one or more party members.
A behavior learned from certain species of coeurl, the caster rises to the challenge of losing comrades by tapping into a feral survival instinct. When all seems lost, or when simply treading where a lone mage was not meant to tread, unrestrained ferocity is sometimes the only way to win through.
Master Coeurl / Upper La Noscea (8, 21)
Coeurl Sruti / Temple of the Fist
Type: Magic
Aspect: None
Rank: 2
This doubles damage, healing, gives you permanent sprint, and makes one of your skills not reduce the damage you do.
Ok 😂
I’ve been like following the YouTube hole of reviews on all the jobs (everything was making sense) but have then finally stumbled onto blue mage content and was like WTF 🤣
What's the best location & best class for fate farming in the far east region?
Azim Steppe as Blue Mage.
If you don't want to grind up blue mage and get the needed spells than any class with good aoe will do for the most part.
like tanks and healers for the tankiness and self-sustain
So, uh, how do i level up quickly?
My levelling roulette is looking weird
Did you already run it today?
Because Roulettes only give good experience the first time for each day due to the bonus they give
doing a roulette a second time is the exact same as directly queueing for that duty, besides the Adventurer in Need bonus (which is not good at all for experience)
After you do roulettes for the first time that day spam your highest level dungeon
That's a first clear bonus and an adventurer in need bonus
Basically if it's the first time you or a member of the party is doing the dungeon/trial etc. Everyone gets a bonus
what's the name of the extension of the job switcher?
extension?
not sure, its a white thing that have the jobs to switch just by pressing
That sounds like the gearsets. You can drag those to your hotbar as an action to press.
sounds like a hotbar layout tbh
yeah

that was actually my first roulette run today, but yeah
i'll just stick to the highest lvl dungeons, thank you
huh, good to know
made me confused as well, even made me think i'm doing something wrong
Maybe the roulette bonus experience didn't show due to all the other messages popping up
50/60/70 is deceiving because the dungeons themselves are not designed to give xp
I stopped being able to fly when unlocking heavensward. Now I read that flight was introduced with Heavensward so maybe it got nulled for this area? Is there a specific requirement like having the whole map or simply just a thing I get back later during MSQ?
!faq flying
'How can I unlock Flying?'
Flying is unlocked through the collecting of a zone's Aether Currents, with every zone having ten 'green' Aether Currents found in the overworld and five 'yellow' Aether Currents obtained through the MSQ and side quests marked with a plus sign. Azys Lla is the only zone to not have any green Aether Currents. You must collect all Aether Currents in a zone to be able to fly.
Flying is unlocked in A Realm Reborn zones simply by completing the level 50 story quest 'The Ultimate Weapon'.
'Where can I find the green Aether Currents?'
Upon obtaining the Black Chocobo mount you are also given an Aether Compass, which is a key item you can use to locate the nearest non-quest Aether Current. This can be set to your Hotbar for ease of use. Alternatively, you can use this website to show the location of all Aether Currents for a zone. http://heavenswhere.com/
gah
Basically how Flying is unlocked in expansion zones is how it was originally done
ARR's flight was done as such to help get through the patch story faster.
I see, so I need to find aether currents. I have yet to obtain a black chocobo or the compass.
You get those in the story.
Or wait, how are the aether currents shown on the map?
the compass is used to point you to the nearest one
And quests that unlock the quest currents are
s
aether currents are visible and audible as humming green clouds
and also from quests
there'll likely be a dozen pick-ups and half a dozen
in total in a zone
give or take
Ten pickups, five quests.
ah.
One of those quests will be MSQ, so four
s
Ok so 1 MSQ part and four Q+. But what are these "pickups"?
They are cloud objects you need to collect in the world
And you get an item that points you into the general direction of those
the msq that gives you the aether compass will explain its use
all it gives you is 'there is an aether current x distance in y direction'
I see. I'll just keep on going in the MSQ then. I guess I've been spoilt by the added flight to ARR cause hot damn is it not convenient running everywhere xD
yeah
Don't worry though, it sounds like more work than it is
just giving flying to ARR was less effort than adding aether currents and aether currents to 
Hello, is there any way in game to find people to play with at low level?
The novice network is an ingame server-wide chat channel for new players and mentors
You can /shout asking for an invite to it in a major city like Limsa pretty easily
Thank you 🙂

Hi all. Sorry quick in-dungeon question after I’ve been level synced down. What is difference between cures 1-3 and medica. 1 and 2 are diff potencies but how exactly do cure 3 and medica 1 differ in play?
Cure 1 is weaker than Cure 2. Cure 3 is slightly weaker than cure 2, but is small AoE, medica is a large AoE
Ah gotcha. Thanks. Didn’t notice the range diff on cure 3 and wondered why it wasn’t working
🙏🏼🧙🏼♂️
Cure 3 is a powerful but very situational tool, you're unlikely to use it much in dungeons.
Cure 2 should effectively replace cure 1 as you approach level 50.
Cure 3 is effective when the party is grouped up closely together and needs to heal from high party-wide damage
A situation which occurs in endgame trials and raids.
Free cure is a trap and cure 1 spam is terrible
Yep yep
Which is faster when solo grinding eureka: pld pulling an entire pack and slowly whittling them down, or rdm killing them (probably way faster) one by one?
RDM pulling an entire pack and nuking them
Is Releasing actually important while Fishing? What are the real effects of it? Right now it just sounds like a roleplay thing
If you don't want the fish to clog your inventory
Oh man that's it? I was stressing about keeping a lake's population under control and everything. Was wondering how to check water parameters LMFAO
If I have completed all the hunts and I'm the highest rank in immortal flames what do i do next and what did i get?
Man this is Pissing me off I been waiting sense 11 clock for a raid so I can get 1 stupid Hunting memory of dying and no one is even doing fates this is such as bullshit step.
because it's currently 9:26am on a wednesday in NA is why.
it's not peak time, so you're going to have long queues.
If you made Captain then you have access to everything sold at the company vendor
Other than that you can just interact with all the systems
If fewer people are in the zone, FATEs are easier to do
There is no super special reward
You are awesome did you know that! Answering most of my noobish questions 😄
I'm mostly bored at work is the truth
if i did roulette for today, if i search again, is it worth? or its better for search manually for higher dgs?
Roulette is only good the first time for the day
roulette is only worth it for the daily bonus
Do highest level dungeon after that if you want to grind them
ty
(except for 50/60/70 dungeons)
why aril?
They give less exp
those give less xp
isnt 60 better than 50?
but they do award poetics
aah
No, he's talking about the level cap dungeons
u mean i should not do these?
What I mean is, if you're level 60, do a level 59 dungeon until you get to the 61 dungeon
So rather queue for the lvl 59 dungeon than the lvl 60 one
Instead of a level 60 dungeon
what if i didnt do daily roulette of 50/60?
Well you can still do the 50/60/70 roulette
is it worth?
if you want poetics then yeah sure
It's still less xp than the leveling roulette but not a total waste of time
I do them just to practice learning classes I just got past 50, but mostly also for poetics because I sorta need them rn
poetics? gotta search it
!faq poetics
ah im so sad
square enix are on steam sales
all ff's are on sale less the shadowbringers
😦
I wanted to buy shadowbringer but price is kinda high
is there a way to remove everything in an apartment at once ?
I don't think there is due to inventory and storeroom limits and there are some items that can be stored but not returned to inventory.
Makes automating a "remove everything" command a bit complicated
Do small personal houses have basements? I grabbed a plot this morning but didn't have time to build anything so I'm brain storming ideas and wanna know if there is a basement to use
yes
you get your entrance floor and then a set of stairs to the right down to a basement
Cool thanks.. I bought a plot in the mists today by accident and was like well ok this is my home now.
How much did it cost
3.1mil
Welp
Wearing multiple pieces of this set grants a stat bonus for jobs and classes under a certain level.
why some sets on online store got this?
what are those bonus?
I was showing someone irl how it all works and clicked buy and it accepted lol I was like well thats a nice way to wake up
congratulations on your house and accidentally succeeding in winning housing (savage)!
Won't hear me complain lol I was just suprised
The bonuses are xp and 5 points of a main stat...however these pieces are fucking worthless in actual combat since they have no stats by default. The "set bonus" doesn't make up for it
Can I buy those outfits and use them just as outfit while im using my battle gear?
You'll be FAR weaker
glamours.
while im using battle gear
they're pretty
glamour is free?
'What is Glamour and how do I unlock it?'
Glamour is the process of changing an equipment's look into a different item with the use of Glamour Prisms. You can unlock the ability to glamour by doing the level 15 quests 'If I Had a Glamour' in Vesper Bay, West Thanalan. Although not required, you can unlock the ability to dye gear with the nearby quest 'Color Your World'. You can get the Orange Juice needed by talking to the nearby Merchant & Mender. Items used for glamouring are not lost upon use.
'How do I glamour? Where do I get more Prisms?'
Glamouring is done by right-clicking (Square or X on controllers) on the equipment you want to glamour and choosing the option 'Cast Glamour'. After clicking this you choose the item you want the appearance on the right half of the menu that opened up. You can get more Glamour Prisms by either crafting them after completing the quest 'Absolutely Glamourous', buying them from your Grand Company Quartermaster, or buying them from the marketboard.
glamour prisms make you put the appearance of one thing over another piece of armour of the roughly same type
can I put the outfit on glamour plate and use everytime?
Yes
yep
Thats basically how you glamour things, one of them anyway
You re equip the plate
i gotta use more prisms for the new gear for use the outfit?
Plates are free to use
hm
You just reequip the plate for no cost
i thought i needed to glamour prism every single piece of battle gear
Thats if you do it manually
One by one
And not via the glamour dresser and plates
!faq glamourdressee
!faq glamourdresser
"What is the Glamour Dresser?"
The Glamour Dresser allows you to glamour an entire set of equipment at once when in a city or town. You can find the dresser in your inn room at any of the Adventurer's guilds.
"How do I use it?"
In order to use the Glamour Dresser you need to first put the items you want to use for glamour inside of it. This requires a one-time cost of one Glamour Prism per item. You're able to safely take out the items, but you'll need to pay another Glamour Prism to put it back into the Dresser. After you have put in the glamour items you want to use for your set you'll want to click on "Edit Glamour Plates".
When the plate window opens up you can select the stored glamours you have onto the slots of the plate to create the set you desire. Once you're satisfied with your glamour click on "Save". You can now apply your Glamour Plate by accessing the Character menu, clicking the Glamour Plate button, and choosing the Plate that you have made.
Carbuncles are happy little bundles of fluff filled with money and gil.

how is this guy buying at 0:50?
Those are crafted, not mogstation.
so some outfits from store can be crafted? 😮
No
No
o_O
None of those items on the marketboard there is the carbuncle outfit
Those things are not from the store, they can be crafted in the game
Those aren't outfits he's buying. They're housing items, like furniture.
See?
they are on store....
Yes
How do I level BSM effectively? Do I "grind" on the same gear?
Well I wouldn't level just BSM 1-80 without doing the others as well for starters
because you'll notice very quickly all the items you make will require a bunch of materials the other crafting classes make
and it can get kinda expensive buying crafting gear instead of making it yourself and whatnot
I see
that aside for your early levels you can just make 1 of every item
you get bonus xp for first time completion
I just wanna level it to 38
like cal said, if you want one crafter you really need to level them all
Will I get bonus for HQ items?
Yes
Yes

and beast tribe
generally I'd go for level 15 or even 20 just doing that first time completion and also mass making a lot of the raw materials like iron ingots and then go into leves and Ishgard restoration yeah
GC turn ins are really good and should be done from day 1, beast tribes are nice too if you want to get into that yeah
what's the spell people combo with chocobo meteor for open world dps?
you can get mounts and cosmetics out of it so

I use hydro pull to gather and other standard primal spells to help nuke stuff
Both ends blow up fates faster
You were talking about beast tribe quest?
yeah
Hey everyone! Sorry if this has been asked before, but I was wondering what you guys did with your gil once you hit the cap during a free trial, or if you have any recommendations on how to use the excess as to not waste it?
the problem is that there isn't really a good source to spend your gil on immediately
If you did some beast tribe quests and ranked them up you'd have a really good source of spending your gil on stuff like their mounts and minions
but it just takes weeks to get to that point
Oh I'll definitely look into that, looks interesting. Thank you!
I really can't think of a vendor item that is actually nice to get that costs anything meaningful
best thing I can think of just "buy fuck tons of dye" lol
That's actually a really good idea xd

actually yeah go unlock all the beast tribes
even without ranking them up you can get decent stuff from their vendors
like Sylphs you can buy some crafting materials you can't buy anywhere else and is kinda nice for when you decide to level them up
that does sound like the best thing to do right now. thank you so much for your help!
very quickly last thing, only issue is that this accelerates your messy inventory problem
Buying grade (blank) dark matter on mass is also a good idea
dark matters are all really cheap though >.>
Hi Discord oracles. Refreshing or using for the first time my higher level BLM stuff. Can you only have one polyglot at a time?
but i think the timer for the next polygot still runs even when you have one
Yes
ye, so capitalise on that
Ah ok. So the idea is to keep enochian ticking for as long as possible by keeping up even one umbral ice/fire, but using the one polyglot granted every 30s?
Yes, just doing your rotation keeps it up
Once you've activated Enochian, can you just keep it rolling. Great. And how do unbral hearts feature?
The hearts nullify the increase Mana cost fire spells have while in Astral fire
Aka your next 3 fire 4s have reduced mana cost
Oh this is a little late, but what I did on free trial is I would double check the GC turn-ins (and less so the Ixal) for items I could just buy at normal vendors. Work on building up your GC rank and some crafting experience (and low level gathering).
The Ixal turn-ins aren't great exp, but relative to the other beast tribes it builds up their reputation pretty fast, and they have the cheap white and black dye
But it all ends up low effort levelling with gil that would have gone to waste anyways, so I think it's pretty decent.
ixal has a mat for the desynth boost food iirc
and they sell III(?) crafting gathering materias for aesthete meld so keep that in mind
Oh yeah, but inventory management sucks on free trial since you don't have retainers available
I'm a little confused about the GC turn-ins, what are those?
GC wants certain items from a craft/gather class, give them it for exp and seals
You can also give them dungeon/blue text gear for seals eventually
Basically whatever grand company you chose will at some rank start asking you about giving in items in exchange for seals and crafting/gathering exp
And because a lot of the things you can craft are weapons and armor, shops sell a lot of what they can request
Ooooooh okay, I get it now
Even for gathering, a lot of the vendors at the crafting jobs sell things like early ores or cooking ingredients too
I'll definitely get onto that, thank you!
This is actually pretty cool, didn't know I could do that
GC stuff in general is weird because it doesn't tell you a lot about what it does unless you go looking itself
Turning in HQ gives double reward
Like, squadrons are easy not to know about
Any advice on good server for new players in NA region? I was thinking Midgardsomir, Fanfrit, Zalera
!faq worldpick
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)
If you got friends playing, try and get on the same server as them
Besides that, it's whatever
Oof, thanks for the BLM tips. Got called into duty halfway through, and it's the first actually hardish dungeon i've had to do where i have most of my skills available. SO much mana balancing, what a faff! Quite hard. Did not realise that Flare was literally 10,000 mana.
I mean there are some differences like - active server, prices of items on that server, how is it is to find raid groups etc
They're basically the same
World visit means markets and stuff are kinda equal
raid groups are cross server anyway and the other stuff is very minor
BLM I'm gonna have to hit the books on (read the guides properly)
And Everything is cross server
Alright thanks
Like "activity" doesn't matter because yeah, everything is cross server
You can play with all people within a data center so specific servers matter little other than joining FCs
Plus they're gonna be introducing cross data center stuff at some point

is there a way to pick which retainer gets suspended when i stop paying the extra service?
I wanted to suspend the 2nd one i hired.
I tried changing their order with the cog icon in the top, but the one that got suspended is still the 3rd one i got
First two are always the active ones
so if you want to change the order you'd have to dismiss one of them
Once you start paying for additional retainers again, they'd just become available again
hey i have the game downloaded on steam, how can i move the game to another drive?
You won't have to make a new one, unless you wanted to dismiss them and make a new one
Is this a place I can ask about ACT?
yes
use steam's internal move options
i saw somewhere that i should go to properties and then local files but i don't see the option to move
Awesome. Hopefully I'm not gonna get my account banned for talking about it lol.
I don't really understand how to make my overlay keep counting for an entire dungeon and what button to click to make it reset
right click the game in your library
and its those properties
then local files in those windows
and move install folder
end encounter is the reset
and you have to adjust when it stops counting in the options
This is the overlay i'm using. Is there a way to do it on the overlay? Or do you just click end encounter during the raids after boss fights
Awesome... I'll adjust that timer too. Also should LB show up as a separate person's dmg?
yes
Y? is it not tied to the person who casted it?
for the purposes of accurately calculating dps its not
I mean, the LB gauge isn't an individual thing
So I imagine it wouldn't make sense to combine it at all
i don't see the move install folder option in this window
i do for any other game but not ff14
@sage mist for ending encounter, you can also send in-game chat /e end and it'll end the encounter. Can also put it in a one line macro and press it when you want to manually end an encounter. Just to make it nice and easy so you don't have to tab out to do it
why does it say "you received x rogue points" even if I am Ninja?
you always gain class experience, not job experience
jobs are nothing more than classes with the job stone equipped
Rouge is the base class of ninja
oou okok
also covers that weird crossover where both scholar and summoner share arcanist as their base class
Sort of an old question but i am doing my 2nd ARR Relic weapon and i am on the zenith part where you go and do all the fates, is there anywhere i should avoid? Also Is it normal for the quest for zenith to be red and for me to not have anything>
https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/417235-No-longer-able-to-move-install-folder-on-Steam?p=5328458#post5328458
this is what i found regarding the move
Hi all. New to posting on the forums. Steam has a feature where you can move what install folder the game is in. I want to move FFXIV to my SSD. However, the option doesn't even show up. I get four options. Browse local files, backup game files, uninstall game, and verify integrity of game files. Options two and four and greyed out so you can't ...
there are some zones without an atma
^
its not a quest
yes its fine that its not a quest
okay
quick recruit a friend question. i recruited my gf the other day and i got the gold chocobo feathers in the mail right away as a recruiter but she hasn't gotten her recruitee items (friendship circlet, silver feathers, etc) yet. are we missing something? she tried the button in the mail to request delivery already
How long has she subscribed?
she's still on the inital 30 days from upgrading from trial to complete
I believe she'll get them when she starts paying for the sub, after the free month has expired
Yeah free time doesnt count
ok thank you

A question about voice actors: Are any changed? I swear Merlwyb sounds different now that I started Heavensward and Tataru too. I could be mistaken ofc.
yes all the VAs were changed at the start of HW and they're consistent from that point forward
ALL the VA's?
yep
all the english VAs anyways
i believe a couple may have changed after that but only one or two
The contract with the original studio expired
Alphinaud sounds the same tho....
And they went with a new one
the ones that change after that are due to real life circumstances
such as passing away
alphinaud is a shocking difference once you get used to the new one
¯_(ツ)_/¯
i know me going back and hearing ARR alphinaud is a trip
but yes, every VA was changed
WHATever do you meeeeeeeaaaaaaaan, dear sisTER?
At any rate, I getter get used to it. So far Merlwyb and Tataru are both "worse" for me but nothing major really.
english VAs 
Mm, Merlwyb sounds a bit more gritty which I feel reflects her character, and tataru is just, uh
british
So uh I dinged 80 a couple days ago
But my ilvl is barely 410. How would I go about gearing up for the current savage/normals?
!faq gearguide
Thanks
If you wanna shortcut it, buy HQ Exarchic
I last played a couple years ago, got geared up pretty quick
Without crafted gear at that point but
I'm gonna try and replicate that this time around too
Then you go farm tomes
I guess I should aim to just do my roulettes and exchange the allegory tomestones for a wep and then the rest
That stuff goes up to ilvl 490?
Allegory is 490
Hmm
You'll need eden raids to get the blades to buy the weapon
Will that be enough to enter e9-e11s?
Farm tomes, do eden/nier raids for gear
Promise needs 485
So
Yes
In normal
Savage needs 500, 510 for 11s and 12s
Gotcha
Guess im farming tomes then yeah lol
Should bring me up to 480-490 and I guess ill do e9-12 normal after that
is it possible to disable the M1+M2 movement?
how do i make Gil leveling up my professions or is it just a Gil sink?
I think leveling profs is a sink but once you max out you can make your money back in spades. Id look for a second opinion though, dont take my word for it
Check the market
The leveling process for crafting is typically a gil sink
And sell the stuff you make
Dont buy mats or gear
And its not a gil sink
Just time
Depends on how lazy you are with how you get your mats yeah
kk thx guuys
How long is the moogle tomestone thing for?
till 5.5
i dont have much gil newish to game so was wondering
April 13th
Is patch 5.5 release date middle April right?
After that patch, comes another (5.55) or not But directly 6.0?
For moogle
Thx
Yes, after 5.5 there will be a 5.55 patch before 6.0 comes out.
April 13th for 5.5. May for part 2 of the story
Is there another primal on the way?
Diamond weapon
I think i might try farming the latest EX primal
To finish the weapon series
It will drop 525 weapons
Emerald is 515
Yea that'll do
You need i500 iirc
To enter?
You'll ideally have Eden promise Normal gear/Law order armour from Delerum, ultimately Cryptlurker
No one will let you in
Maybe get my fc to help me out
With that
My fc will probably lol
You'll die to basic raid wides
Would i?
Yes
Even if i meld vit?
You cant
Damn thats lame cause I
Vit melds are a thing of the past
No carries here
I already know I can perform
LOL
That's just obnoxious tbh
But if thats how it is all that means is
I gotta spend some time farming normal e9-12
Which i was gonna do anyway
Alright npnp minor setback
I have a plan to work with lmao
Thanks !
The weekly lock (minus weapon tokens) for normal are removed next patch so getting 510 is piss easy
Law order from Delerum helps filter in
And the nier raid 520 weekly next patch
Hey. Does any one know how I can unlock SB and ShB trials in Stone Sky Sea?
I can't seem to find the NPC with the quest to unlock it
Ontop od the coins to upgrade Cryptlurker
Yea but im aiming to be geared up in the next 3-5 days
LOL so we'll see if that's achievable
Hmm you dont think I could hit 500 in 5 days?
Even with weekly locks it should still be doable
500 sure, you'll need to augment the allegory
all the 500+ gear is weekly locked
So need to farm hunts or nier raid
Above 500 yea
except the relic weapon
Anything above 500 is weekly locked
Yea thats fine
Bojza is better, logos actions immediately make it better
If i can crack 500 im hard chillin
I500 is full augmented allegory
So farm nier raids and Shadowbringers hunts to buy the augments
Is the lvl 70 omega armor only available after a certain locked point?
what can I do with nier coins?
you need to do the omega raids
augment gear
oh i see
what mount speed is the riding tokens for this event
don't buy them, they're obsolete because of flying
Alphascape data logs, or armor itself, dropped from alphascape savage raid... Only savage level? And I guess that only is available at a certain point in MSQ. Is it MSQ SB or post-SB content.
Separate question: dungeons, trials, raids can be un-rated/normal, hard, savage, extreme... What's the order of difficulty? Obviously normal is easier than hard.
Savage directly drops the dyeable version
Ontop of 1 book each clesr
You need base Stormblood done to access omega
^
Normal mode drops tokens for undyeable version and needs to be done first to unlock savage
is there anywhere i can see all the nier glamours?
Normal/hard mode > 24mand > extremes > savage >>>> ultimates
#glamour-discussion pins
Got it, thanks. I just got to Yanxia. Feels like forever until I will complete main SB. Thanks for the help.
I played at launch then quit, just got back
Did they add any new haircuts between 5.0 and now?
yes
!faq hairstyle
cheers
hmm, the table is nice but doesnt show when the hair style was added
just to be sure, the new hair ctyles that were added after 5.0, do I need to unlock/buy them or were they just added to the barber NPC?
Try this one, sort by patch https://ffxivcollect.com/hairstyles
you have to go get them
All of them need to be acquired
a lot of the ones released in shb are locked behind firmament
There's 2 from Bozja stuff. Also should be noted that the Sharlayan Studies in the list I linked is in the game data, but not available
Why does Rathalos have a semi permanent vuln down buff in phase 2 when he's not downed?
to make you down him, like in monster hunter
How can he be downed besides "deal damage"?
thats it
is there a way to reset what levequests are available
God damn this universalis.app is amazing, I didnt know something like this existed
Thx alot @strange coral
They are selected at random. Do the ones that are there and hope they get replaced with the one you want.
alright ty
damage actions fill the duty gauge, when the gauge fills it falls down
worth noting that the amount of damage is irrelevant
much better to pool and hold cds until it falls
ah
how can i jump to other servers? I forgot
go to an aetheryte in one of the big cities
The 3 main city aetherytes
select world visit
this wouldn't be a monitor problem
it's the graphics card
has he installed the latest drivers, etc?
he didn't have the issue till he plugged in his new monitor
he said his graphics are up to date
nvm it was (LOD)
that's what fixed it
I got a new question, does the location of a fc house change the trim/pillars inside the private rooms?
You are 100% positive? I want to move to the lavender beds but I have a glitch set up in my room with the pillars
okay so it does
stuck the the mists I am
The trim lets me have this above my bedroom
Oh I thought you meant like
Plot location
As in the plot number place
not the district

When should I make my first job change? I just unlocked Bard and I want to switch to Lancer to unlock Dragoon but I’m not sure if I should keep leveling Bard.
Whenever you want.
then switch to lancer
switch as you wish
I’m just wondering if there’s a recommended path. Like level something to 50 or w/e before moving on for any reason.
Cool thanks
It doesn't matter
Will That make my effective level level 1 or how does that translate to stats?
Job levels dont mean anything
ppl sometimes recommend getting all classes to 30 at the least but it doesn't matter
You'll be back to lv1
you will be a lvl 1 lancer
There's no character level
So I should grind up lancer before continuing the MSQ then, right?
you will have to
Your level is your currents job level
You have to, yes
since you cant accept quests on a lower level
if you want to play it in msq yes
But I could switch to bard at any time to continue the MSQ if I want to
yes
Awesome thanks
do you have to reach floor 100 on potd beforehand to prog to floor 200?
in what are is HoH?
Yes, in a fixed party with no wipes
Ruby Sea, Onokoro
as in you cant just reach floor 51 for the first time
and then run 51-100 with a premade group
yeah i know that but im making sure for a friend
With no wipes on the save file
because they havent done potd at all
so can we just bump him to 51 and then run with a fixed party to 200
Yes
because im not sure how it works when you hit 100 for the 1st time
I was in the NN so they used to tell if there's an S rank or special fates going on
Now that I'm not in NN anymore how do I know when these marks or fates take place
How do I become a crafting mentor so I can rejoin NN
that's very much not an easy task
its pretty easy
and if you did so you'd be expected to be teaching, not to learn advice
aha... yeah... right
Anyway to get my sprout back?
no
Big rip
you're a big boy now :p
upgrade to a Crown
Tell that to the new content I'm about to face
So many new mechanics
I don't wanna be floor tank
look up guides
just blame the healer instead lol
on the basis that the mentor system is a fucking joke, the reqs for crafting mentor are
-have a dol to 80
-have a doh to 80
-get 300 dol collectables
-get 100 doh collectables
nn can't help with that really
If you have a dol and doh at 80, you just need to gather and make a bunch of collectibles. Can even be level 50 ones.
i mean trade mentor technically only has to know about crafting
not really
just takes time
oh it's very easy. I gather more than that in one run
you dont have to get a high rating
Wait what
just go get dated radz-at-han coins lol
Ohh
just collect as soon as you start and it counts
Radz at what
There is 0 reason that a healer can survive a dps and tank in frontline
for the DoL collectibles you'll gather 300 by the time you start buying some of the yellow scrip stuff
Dammit I miss the NN
become a craft mentor and you can get back in lol
Ohh
there's one in the arcanist guild in limsa
Nice I'm heading there
click "apply for mentor" and he'll tell you the requirements
And how do I avoid mentoring
what does that mean lol
Just don't mentor
But I need access to NN
its just an icon you dont actually have to help anyone
Ohh
Don't answer questions in NN if you don't know the answer
Nice nice
battle mentors get access to mentor roulette
Yeah fuck that
how many tomes of rev do you get for using mentor roulette?
Not enough
I'm at the arcanist guild
I don't see any sprout icons
There was one near the inn tho
o
understandable
Not sure if this is the place for it but thought I'd give it a shot. Can anyone help me place this hairstyle? Can't quite pinpoint which one it is and it's driving me kinda nuts ngl ;3;
https://ffxiv.eorzeacollection.com/glamour/71330/lady-dimitrescu-cosplay
Oof I need to meet two requirements for trade mentor
Gather or catch 300 collectibles
Does only 300 doh collectibles count
Or both 300 doh and dol
did you miss the other requirement of 100 crafted ones?
There's only 4
I already meet 2
Need to be a lv 80 dol and gather or catch 300 collectibles
My miner is 78
you need all of those requirements
Ya
then you are already done with doh for that
miner t 80 will be so easy with some crystarium leves
I've a doubt is it 300 both dol and doh collectibles or either
The 300 is dol only
you can't gather with doh lol
There is a separate requirement for 100 doh
you need the achievement "I Collected That I"
check your achievements to see how far along you are that's the 300 DoL ones
I Made That: (Worth Collecting) Synthesize 100 collectables.
Ohh wait
It's an achievement
are you wearing a Landking gear on your miner?
oh, well that's a good opportunity haha
maybe people in #glamour-discussion know? seems like their kinda thing lol
you'll need to gather a few hundred collectibles to buy it
and actually hold on, doesn't eorzea collection - oh I guess it only shows gear
@last patio its a female roe racial hairstyle

hi! my friend is having a hard time trying to find the outlandish man to start doing the crystal tower raid questline.. he's above level 60 and is already in heavensward.. any advice? (please ping if you reply!)
This is questions channel fam
@drifting burrow should be standing near the mor dhona aetheryte, though its possible they may have picked up the quest and completed it without picking up the next one. should check to see if "sanding it down" is available at the sons of saint coinach digsite in mor dhona
Oh my character is a femroe anyway so that wont screw me. I just can't quite figure out which of the short hairstyles it is :C
All the racial-specific hairs are near the top of the aesthetician’s menu so it shouldn’t be too hard to find
It looks like this one to me
anyone know how to get my game out of windowed mode? Whenever I try and log in it throws a fatal directx error 1000000
it'll let me log in but it won't get me to the start up screen
let me give that a shot super quick then
thanks so much for the help btw seriously was driving me up a wall for a while there
@obsidian patio it's not a bait question I'm actually playing with ideas
That still doesn’t change how it’s not related to FFXIV.
Which mount is this?
That’s Syldra, from the stormblood collector’s edition.
A couple of timing/mechanics questions:
-
The AoE "danger zone" shows up and pulses twice, then disappears and the enemy starts the animation. Do I need to be out of that zone before it disappears or before the end of the enemies animation?
-
Are DoTs snapshotted? Specifically, will I get the same value out of being in Astral Fire, casting Thunder, then swapping to Umbral Ice as sitting in Astral Fire for the duration of the Thunder DoT?
out of zone before disappearance
- before the casr finishes/it disappears
astral fire doesn't benefit thunder damage
- dots snapshot
it doesn't matter when you cast thunder
but yes dots snapshot
if anything you would want to get your thunder cast off while under raid buffs
The only exception to the rule is ground-placed DoTs, like Doton, with buffs/debuffs on the enemy.
aoe zone and cast will stay there for roughly same time so the cast time of the boss is basically your indicator for how long you got (usually)
most attacks snapshot your position when the boss castbar ends/when the AoE marker disappears
but there's some that use animation too
a decent chunk of damage on dot-based classes (bard and summoner) comes from getting a snapshot of their dots while under all raid buffs
it's not as big a deal for BLM but it certainly wouldn't hurt
thanks all
Does the recast of a DoT extend the initial DoT or apply a new instance of it?
a new instance
kk
if you recast your dot while under raid buffs then it completely overwrites your existing dot with the stronger one
bard still have iron jaws no?
Yes
not an extender
Thats a new application
just a refresher
Not a extendee
!action Iron Jaws
Delivers an attack with a potency of 100.
Additional Effect: If the target is suffering from a Caustic Bite or Stormbite effect inflicted by you, the effect timer is reset
Additional Effect: 35% chance of becoming Straight Shot Ready
Duration: 10s
extender means use the same buff snapshots as the previous one?
they don't exist anymore so the point is moot anyway
i see, so that used to exist
do the nier raids require completion of any MSQ other than 5.0?
wondering if people fresh to ShB would be able to run nier 3 when it releases
or if they need to finish 5.3 or whatever first
Just 5.0 for now
what wall is this?
where can I see how the new irrgular tomestones mounts look :o
google images
Might be Riviera Picket Wall dyed red
ninja gear is scouting right?
Scouting for left side and Aiming for right and belt
Scouting for belt too
is there a discord for summoners?
i heard how league of legends and wow have a main discord and was wondering iff ff had one too?
The balance discord is the main one for endgame guides/min-maxing, they also have channels specific for each jobs.
Thank you!
where is the mist in game? gridania?
it's limsa housing
If Blue Mage were a complete job I wouldn't have any trouble deciding on a main I imagine.
Payment was error and i got charged
Didn't get the item i want or receive email that payment was complete
So you were charged, it initially said payment error (when you tried purchasing) and it still charged your payment method. And you didn't recieve any items or confirmation of paymenet?
Yeah
One sec. lemme give you a link. Fill out the form, and either select (contact via phone) or (contact via live chat) Whichever you prefer -
Thanks alot:c
Follow the steps and you can contact somone immediately. You just need to fill out the paperwork first
If you do it via normal SE website, you'll have to wait potentially weeks on a email they send. That link I sent you, is immediate response via live chat with customer support, or you can get the number to call the guy who's on customer support.
The Goblet
when something like that happened with payment issues the money just reappeared back in my account after a couple days
how do y'all organize your hotbars? do you group skills by their effects, or set them up in a way that makes it easy to rotate?
just however works for you

i usually have my main attacks as my 1 2 3
I'm kinda having problems with getting the muscle memory down, especially with new skills joining in and me trying to fit them into my current setup
e.g. for a swift rez I still click on both skills with my mouse
is there a place to download a UI or HUD setup? not like a mod or antyhing like that but uh, this thing.
pretty sure you can't share you HUD as a file others can import
damn. I thought I saw somewhere you can back it up
unless it lets you export your backup
You can for your own character. Not sure if you can swap the files between characters though
How long is the que for customer support MEL?
is there something I can use to practice rotations akin to a combo guide for fighting games or do I just search up a rotation and try to follow it until I remember everything?
there's practice dummies
and when do things like proper openers and rotations begin to matter?
Level 80
yeah max level
so I can just do the content up to max without them or should I try to still learn before?
I'm like in the middle of ShB right now
Having a general understanding of your rotation is always important.
you should have a general idea of your rotation
but it doesn't especially matter till max
just don't "freestyle"
"SCH go brrrrroil" 
your rotation will change as you level up and your options change too
I had all the skills on my bar before 80 so I would get use to a general order
You can usually follow the level 80 guides and just cut out the skills that you don’t have
Wesk Alber on YouTube also does leveling rotation guides
some of the SCH rotations i've seen make a lot of use of energy drain which kinda scares me
often times I depend on having 3 stacks of aetherflow up because someone in my team doesn't know how to not die
use dissipate if you need panic aetherflow
!action lustrate
45
you also get a second bar around lvl 70
i thought energy drain was 40?
ED is also 45
!action aetherflow
all 45
then i thought wrong
Gotcha, I will have to re-do my rotation at that point then
You definitely don't have to worry too much that early on, but I suppose
So when does SCH get its full kit? 70?
80
80
all classes get their full kit at 80
80 because thats when you don't get any more skills
SCH's rotation is pretty simple, you dont need to learn it until 80 anyways
At 80 are you still limited to three aethers?
yup
Is there any other way to fast forward story?
Aside from buying a story skip for cash? No
Oh i can actualy skip it?
That’s what I don’t love about SCH, it’s just they extra bit of scarcity I don’t get with AST or WHM
or just skipping all the cutscenes lol
Up until the start of ShB, yeah. If you pay for it
Yes buy it from the online store mogstation.
How much is it?
And/or you can boost your job level.
Will that skip get me lvl up aswell or just story skip?
Yeah be aware it is not a lvl boost
Like £15 I want to say
it just completes the story quests
The cost depends on how much you want to skip
Lvl boost separate and per job
It ranges from $15 to $25 depending on what you choose
We are talking about msq?
Yes
Yes
Wuuuut! Now i have to buy it
but then you'll miss the story 😦
Will that gona make me aquire also items from msq?
It’s tempting I know, cos there are very slow parts. But also amazing parts of story (and I hated cutscenes at the start with a visceral passion). I found boosting a couple of jobs was better. Ones I knew I would never level organically and I could mess around with them.
might as well not play it at all 
It's definitely recommended to not skip the story.
except the fantasia yes
This is an rpg first, mmo second, if you're expecting to rush into endgame content fine you'd have a tough time
But i can go and get that fantasia done?
If you level boost a job you get a full set of armor etc. It’s cool. The game won’t make sense if you skip the story though.
Hm
You can pay $ for one whenever you want
I prolly should maybe listen to you
You still woukd have to go through ShB anyway.
I was new to the game 7 weeks ago. I had similar thoughts. But the story gets much much better and really good. You get used to the pace. You have ages to do the story. But for cash you can do what you like and zero judgement from me.
Can i somehow in settings turn all cutscenes off?
Stick with it. Intersperse your story with dungeons and fights etc to liven it up.
but they're the best part of the story lol
n-no
Well there is one for dungeon cutscenes
otherwise no
You can skip them by pressing escape (most of them). But they become way more bearable, I promise. The characters become likeable (especially with the actors changing in Hw - much better acting).
Ultimately play it how you like because on the subject of skips there are often a lot of opinions.
you also get dissipation and recitation, as well as your fairy gauge and seraph to cover healing
just did the titania fight... how much harder will fights get from this point on?
titania is an msq fight
how does a warrior's rotation look like at 50?
it won't be any more or less difficult than that
its mostly 123 and trying to use as many inner beasts as you can inside berserk
I mean how much harder will content get from titania onward
It really doesn't
it'll be about that much difficulty
People just make Titania harder than it really is
msq is not supposed to be difficult
target the interactable area and use your key item
ohhh
no no no, I don't mean the msq but content in general. we wiped like thrice to titania so I was worried about how much harder endgame will be haha
didnt know u could od that thanks
Ah yeah I am about to get recitation on next level. Dissipation I haven’t had chance to use properly yet I think as I’m a bit overlevelled. Fairy gauge has appeared but not doing much yet either and Seraph on her way. I think at 80 it will be a lot clearer than like 73ish where I am now (but lvl 61 dungeons 🙄)
Well endgame is another matter because that'd be extreme and savage fights and not the normal difficulty stuff
okie
what level msq in relation
Lvl 63 MSQ. Just got to ||Doma||
so you won't have access or a chance to use all your tools
Exactly.
do your job quests to completion for aetherpact
Frustrating.
but 9 aetherflows every 2 minutes is plenty with fairy actions as well
I’ve done all my jobs for HW
Havent watched a single cutscene yet tbh
Does Melediction of water (blue spell#98) push your teamates? (Kinda like rescue)?
Okay put like that yeah sounds good. 4.5 lustrates a minute haha.
It’s just getting the chance to test them but that’ll come.
and you're almost reaching the point where you get excog to use in dungeons
In more casual content I sometimes even find myself sitting on some leftover aetherflow after a pull
It's honestly more than enough
As my healer skills have got better from reading and practicing I have had leftover aether for energy drain etc. I think I tell myself I’m worse than I am tbh.
It's more that things deal way less dmg than one may think, at least in dungeons.
And assuming everyone plays their parts, tanks especially with their mitigation
no no
If they pointed you towards Ankh Mhorning then... that's a good site
