should I prioritize side quests instead?
runic prawn
Whats the delubrum reginae weekly and how do i unlock it?
faint flare
Main story and class quests are top priority
heavy wadi
Whats the delubrum reginae weekly and how do i unlock it?
you unlock dr, do it once, and then you can pick it up from a person in gangos
faint flare
Whats the delubrum reginae weekly and how do i unlock it?
Finish the bojzan story, which has you run Delerum once before it unlocks
tame flame
New player on the fence on whether to start playing FFXIV, just one question: How long does it take to finish the main story?

i cant have 2 cryptlurker rings at the same time?

No they're unique

Why does the crystarium have a unique aetheryte icon?
faint flare
Because ||Its on the first||
reef knot
oo ok thx
tame flame
Which isn't recommended
Why?
heavy wadi
it's an ff game first, mmo second
faint flare
You wont have any idea what you're doing or miss key information
tame flame
it's an ff game first, mmo second
haven't really played a ff game before so i don't really know what to expect other then from playing other mmos
tender ice
(I watched a recap for Stormblood and read a lot about it)
heavy wadi
it's an rpg before mmo, essentially
tender ice
Shadowbringers is amazing
faint flare
That its fucking good
tender ice
I like Heavensward the best personally :)
tropic bear
is the later stuff voice acted?
faint flare
Primarily important cutscenes
tender ice
It's voice acted from the start, only the important cutscenes tho^
cursive abyss
That its fucking good
Which is why I'm actually not stepping into #archived-lore-spoilers again until at least 5.0 is done with

cursive abyss
Is the bicolor gemstone thing worth doing?
wintry chasm
basically any character who comes in at 2.4 or 2.5 ish don't get VAs changed
so they already started using people from the new studio
So that's like, Aymeric, Lucia
etc
faint flare
Bicolours get you some additional crafting mats
tender ice
Glad they changed Alphinauds voice, I love his HW onwards VA
faint flare
And ranking up the shared fates unlocks more items in the shop
Eventually some furniture and Amarmo minion
tame flame
so is there not much of an endgame in FFXIV other then the story?
pulsar escarp
nah, there's different difficulties of raids and trials
faint flare
They is
cursive abyss
so is there not much of an endgame in FFXIV other then the story?
There is. Savage Raids, Ultimates
robust crow
i cant have 2 cryptlurker rings at the same time?
you can upgrade one cryptlurker ring to i530 and then buy a second i520 one
this is RDM/SMN BiS
cursive abyss
Extremes
pulsar escarp
xiv's made for people who can't afford to log in every damn day like other mmos
faint flare
Extremes are the midcore stuff which is one a patch
pulsar escarp
so it's forgiving and is based around the fact people let subs run out when they're up to date with it all sometimes
cursive abyss
so is there not much of an endgame in FFXIV other then the story?
Ultimates are the hardest content to do, and can take some statics up to 8 months, maybe even more to beat them
leaden ginkgo
Should you always try and use bhavacakra during trick attack or will you overcap?
leaden ginkgo
So use it when you reach 80 got it

cursive abyss
statics?
A static is a group of 8 friends that you get together to do the harder content in FFXIV
faint flare
Because why rhe fuck limit yourself to one guild
Statics spand the entire data Centre
little swift
you don't have to be friends to be in a static
cursive abyss
you don't have to be friends to be in a static
Ik, but its a much more fun experience if you make friends with the people in your statics
faint flare
Helps get along but yeah

yes but you don't have to begin as friends or stay friends either

Crafting and gathering

@cloud night what level are you/how far in MSQ
cloud night
I'm near lvl 50
faint flare
You're not gonna make alot of money until latee
delicate field
not much opportunities to make money at that level
why do you need money anyways? MSQ gives you free gear
cursive abyss
I'm near lvl 50
There is also the option of Eureka once you finish 4.0, You should have 1.1- 1.3 Mil Gil by the time you hit post 4.0, which should be just enough to buy yourself either a vermillion cloak, or a kirin Osode depending on your class. Those are not neccessary for eureka, but they help
cloud night
also buy item on one server sell it on another is something common ?
and can works ?
cursive abyss
You can make a lot of money from bunny fates in eureka once you get to Eureka Pyros
delicate field
@cursive abyss what are those two items for?
cloud night
or crafting is just more efficient
delicate field
they replace your armor?
cloud night
it's armor piece I think
cloud night
ok so eureka is one of the best farm spot right now ?
faint flare
cursive abyss
it's armor piece I think
Once you finish Eureka Pagos and get to Eureka Pyros, you can farm bunny fates for a decent amount of Gil and rare mounts that can sell for at least 6 Mill Gil depending on the DC
queen cove
but its not worth that much anymore
obsidian patio
(note that Eureka is unlocked after completing stormblood base story at level 70)

Why was an onion of all things worth so much?

zinc orbitBOT

See here

All mounts can fly but you need to complete the level 50 quest, The Ultimate Weapon, for the ARR areas. In HW and beyond, you need to complete sidequests and find collectibles on the field.
languid folio
wack
cursive abyss
is flying mounts tied to a quest or can i buy one off the market anytime
Now, a piece of advice when collecting aether currents. Some zones dont let you collect all the aether currents in one visit and, for particularly annoying zones, I would reccommend hiring someone from a city state (usually limsa lominsa) to ferry you around the maps with a 2 person mount to help you get those easily. You may need to pay them gil first
languid folio
i see ill have to keep that in mind for later on down the road
little swift
Or just do the story and grab them as you go
Flying is never a requirement to complete msq
vernal urchin
The currents are always in a place you can walk to
obsidian patio
only like 2-3 zones have particularly troublesome currents
raw solstice
majority of them are just generally along the path as you do MSQ
obsidian patio
most infamous example being the Lochs
delicate field
whats wrong with the crrents there?
cursive abyss
Yeah, its never a requirement to get flying, but its really helpful when you go back and do the MSQ Patch Quests for an expansion
raw solstice
there's one current that you have to go a bit out of the way and loop around to get it
delicate field
that is very out of the way hahaha

white scrips are obtained as a lv80

since youre lv80
you will get white scrips AND yellow scrips
delicate field
craft this
obsidian patio
Custom deliveries too at 80
delicate field
hundreds of them lol, you'll have a ton of white crafting scrips

Oh ok
shut panther
Why do some jobs have a mana bar despite not using mana?
Legacy nonsense
modest igloo
did they do that with SB?
shut panther
i guess im asking when im done will it still be a glider
Any given high level node will spawn glider or zonure -- if you don't get the one you want, just gather the other materials from the node and move on
little swift
it currently doesn't come with sb and hw just sb
because of how the trial and starter were adjusted
silver ruin
ye before it came with sb and hw before the update
little swift
Any given high level node will spawn glider or zonure -- if you don't get the on...
you don't even have to gather you just have to open each one in the pair and then mvoe to the next set
little swift
because hw is connected to the starter edition now
silver ruin
base game now includes base game and hw
little swift
if you get the complete edition you would get everything
silver ruin
cant use expansion codes without owning base game
so buying just ew would be pointless
cursive abyss
That's a bit confusing but ok. I get it now tho
@little swift So it would be the best deal for new players to just buy the complete edition?
silver ruin
costs the same either way
shut panther
It's either starter + expansion at 20+40 or complete at 60
Doesn't really matter much either way
little swift
since you could in theory get a decent mileage out of the starter and tehn just get expac later
shut panther
(give or take sales etc)
For a new player I would recommend they just pick up the trial and get as much mileage as possible out of it until the restrictions begin to bother them
Then pick up starter if the game is doing it for them
cursive abyss
IIRC, I bought the base game and then ShB before HW was added to the base so I got everything

Does FFXIV get even more fun after you beat ShB and start ARR with a 2nd, new character at level 1?
shut panther
Uhh... Doubt
modest igloo
not really
slate arrow
no
shut panther
Not sure why you would do that actually
The case for alts in FFXIV is incredibly limited compared to say, wow
modest igloo
since you can do everything on one character, and theres a cutscene viewer and NG+, no need to
little swift
very few people replay the story in that manner even for alts
shut panther
Given everything is character rather than account bound and any character can do everything
little swift
there's no benefit to having alts
cursive abyss
Not sure *why* you would do that actually
Looks at Calisae, who has almost 40 characters. 🤔

yah we don't refer to cal as the norm

a fantasia can change your race and gender, you get 1 free at the end of ARR but otherwise cost $10

Once you hit 80, you can have an easier time unsyncing O12S for the mount, right?

you still have to do like, 80% of the mechanics

How do we display our FC name?

I can think of one benefit to having a second character, having a raid DC like Aether
cause my first char is on crystal

dc makes very little difference
to even consider aether as a "raid dc" is just silly
jade quartz
Bear in mind cross-DC play is being implemented in the new expansion

we're not better than the other dcs at raiding

OH, and here's another good question, does the cutscene viewer save the clothes you were wearing at the time of you viewing that cutscene or does it just use your current stuff?

you can only display the fc tag

Can I ask questions here regarding the payment of the subscription?

yeah so I used to pay the subscription via a steam recurring subcription which took money from my debit card but for some reason steam removed the debit card which caused the subscription to be cancelled
zinc orbitBOT
acoustic rivet
so after removing the recurring payment (from steam) I went to resubscribe to ffxiv again using steam and now it won't let me choose the debit card to pay the subscription
do they now force steam wallet for both methods (reccuring and one time payment)
and yes I did add my debit card back
delicate field
Is it possible that debit card are no longer usable for payments?
acoustic rivet
is that the case?
delicate field
I have no idea, don't use the same config sorry
acoustic rivet
oof ok
before the one time payment thing used the steam wallet and the steam account option would let me choose my debit card

It sounds like a steam issue, maybe open a ticket with valve to see what's going on?

Its because they're small and thus they can be overpowered easily by character 5x their height. Also lalafell lore is part of it
naive bramble
I don’t think that’s the case for the full game. I played final fantasy XIV on PS4 back in 2018 for a short while and didn’t need ps+ this free trial thing is recent so I’m still a little confused
Ps+ being required seems like the most logical answer tho

@leaden ginkgo the 3 ppl I’m trying to convince like mmorpgs and one of them has been trying to find one for all of us to play. I knew about ffxiv and hit him up with the suggestion but thought you had to pay $20 for the starter edition.

gathering and crafting lol

oh, unfortunately i onl;y havbe one monitor so i basically just gather and stare at my character doing it lol
i get bored of diadem gathering very quickly though T_T i hate how you can't go after the material you want like in the world

theres only like 10 different materials tho, its easy

becuase i bought the rest cause they were veyr cheap

Should I just do that quest and maybe come back to do other quests when I'm higher level?
glossy flare
Depends on what you want
In terms of XP the main quests will be more than enough to level your character
So the only real reason to do most of the sidequests is for fun/story
There are some very good ones but also a lot of mediocre ones
delicate field
@mental oracle ideally oyou want to follow those until it's completely done after 200+ hours. it locks you out of so much stuff

Yeah, main quests are definitely a priority since they lock any worthwhile content
Do however not ignore these 
Those unlock stuff.
Do them.

for newbie, can they just jump straight into shadowbringers with Tales of Adventures ? or this expansion connect strong to the one before to fully understand it ?

You can't jump straight into a later expansion just because you bought a level boost

I got a few leves started cause I accepted basically everything I could, and I wanna do them. However the first leve I tried I needed some item I didn't have. At least I didn't think so cause couldn't find it. Should all leves be doable by just starting them or are there prerequisites? Just so I don't start another one and it seems like Im missing something.
delicate field
@lethal mist crafting leves are better held onto until the late game. DPS leves don't reward good xp compared to other stuff
lethal mist
I just want them off my quest list and I don't see "Abandon" as an option
They're taking up space sadly 😦

if you talk to a leve ppl for the first time, they force you to do 1 quest for them, and you cant abandon it

Yeah exactly

so you gotta do it lol

never seen that message and i did 100 leves
lethal mist

You're supposed to open the leve listing.

yeah thore are all forced leves

I click on each and I get this:

oh yes open it and click "initiate"?
slate arrow
There's no location associated with the quest you're clicking
lethal mist
I can't initiate unless I'm at the location?
slate arrow
You need to open your quest journal and navigate to the leve section
delicate field
not sure the range, but you should see circles on your map
hover the circle to see the quest name, then click the quest name at the right side (name, not descriotj) and it'll open the quets log where you can click initiate
lethal mist
Oh I have to scroll down to another section to see.... I missed that part
I know sometimes there are circles on the map, yes. Like the one in Costa del Sol.

I gotta say, the UI isn't amazingly intuitive sometimes

Leves are more or less a legacy system from 1.0

Back in 1.0 they were meant to be your way to level all jobs

On top of all the 2.0 changes
