is it not avaiable in trial maybe?
Uhh...no idea.
the main quest im on is secrets and lies
If I bought a game time card, will I be able to play the game on my PS4? First time resubbing using this method.
Ah, yeah that's a level 14 MSQ. Once you've completed the level 15 MSQ's listed above the quest marker should unlock. No idea if it's allowed in Trial though.
You’re almost there. Gold Saucer unlock quest appears after the airship tour of the other starter cities.
Which is a level 15 story quest. Note that quests have levels of their own.
Yeah console players can use those game time cards for subscriptions. Just be certain that it’s for your region.
how do i know what level storey quest im on
It’ll say in the Journal and each quest plate has it listed in the top corner.
Will be marked in the Journal.
lv.14

i legit dont know how to get there on the map lmao
@next vector @leaden ginkgo You two about the thing
I’ll dm you

Crafters mana basically

@flat yew just 14, one of any grade 1 materia for the level 20 quest, and then a specific grade 3 materia for the level 50 quests.
yep
awesome, thanks
what means GP?
Gatherers mana. ^_^
They basically just mean Crafting Points and Gathering Points, IIRC

Hi! Me and a friend want to start playing but we have to pick one Datacenter: Chaos or Light. Any advice? We want to play with English people :)
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)
basically just avoid moogle and shiva
I see, so it would be fine any other server?
Yep!
Absolutely, and if you want some bonus experience, pick one with a Star. Preferred worlds give the Road to 70 buff. Brilliant for levelling alt jobs as well as your main.
Cool. Thank you guys :)
I made 12 copper rings but quest didn't complete https://i.imgur.com/mV0UwcQ.png
bug?
wrong type of ring
You need this item
oh
you can abandon the quest and pick it up again. the memories in your inventory won't disappear
uh
you got the relic for bard up to that point?
otherwise you gotta do it up to that point
but yea they wont disappear
We've all been there matey, even english localization team acknowledges it, dont feel bad about it 
😂
now im on the a matter of tradition quest
still no casino
or gold saucer i mean lol
Not far to go, keep following the story and you'll hit the envoy quests soon.
What gear should i get after finishing the main part of ShB to get into the grand cosmos?
Yorha/Eden gear from the 8-man and 24-man raid series for shadowbringers are good options.
If you have the spare gil for it, you can buy
Exarchic gear from the marketboard which is i510
most of the pieces are around 50-80k each on the marketboard, depending on exact server
is there maybe a text channel where I can ask people to queue up for a certain duty as it takes long to find that one specific duty I need for main story progression or is that not allowed here (Sorry if it is)
kinda dried up all my gil reserves for aesthete's pieces haha
#retired-na-datacenters is basically your best option. What's the exact duty in question?
yeah but I'd have to level all my crafters to 80 first
the aetherocemical research facility
ah that one can sometimes take a bit, it's also the dead of night for NA so you basically have the worst queue times
yea I guess but i will give it a shot at the channel you linked, thank you1
I'll try to unlock the yorha raids for now I guess
Copied factory need 435, first eden raids need 425
So
Ofc get some allegory to buy some 490 stuff and grab your resistance weapon if you did the lv70 24mans
I haven't done any raids other than the ones you had to in ARR so far
wait, copied factory needs 435?
Yes
I can't do that either then 😭
Then do eden
Then Shadowbringers hunts for allegory tomes...or go grab the two optional dungeons in crystarium and eulmore and get some more 430 accessories
Plus bonus tomes for running them
Buy some i510 pieces for 30-50k, server hop if needed
Hey everyone!
Im level 45 on my summoner, I think I can go samurai at 50. Im on MSQ level 30 quests, once these quests are at 50 I can go to next place and try other classes like machinist right?
ain't that easy, I don't have the gil to buy gear haha
once you get to ishgard
theres a lot of level 50 quests between arr and getting to ishgard
I think im just a bit confused as im way overleveled compared to msq
Slow down on doing roulettes
^ This.
Me?
Yes
The first thing you see in duty finder
Okay im never done it i think
When you open it
Also, your level will always sync down to the recommended level for the important stuff.
Alternatively, try levelling an alt job, will give you more options going forward. You may even find a preferred play style in one of those jobs.
Yes i noticed it as I most use lower level spells (Bye bye Ifrit) 😄
are you on a preferred world
Okay I might go pick up lancer or archer
A lot of the overworld stuff you'll be doing in between dungeons and solo instances will start to become wasted exp whilst overlevelled, may as well hit up an alternate job.
I have a doubt
Lancer is great fun.
But I wont be able to continue on my msq right? As I will be to low level
use dungeons
hunt log till 15>dungeons to catch up with msq
Hunting logs. Roulettes and dungeons
shouldnt take too long
If someone makes an NA account and selects their in game region as light, is that possible?
Exactly, but with the Road to 70 and a few dungeons you'll catch up in a few hours.
yes
Yes
Okay
Your account region doesn't block you making on any server
Its primarily for buying the game and stuff
Okay
Should I do something before changing job? I made sure to save my current summoner equipment
Pro tip for anyone else being new (which I didnt think of until to late) save old gear in chocobo sadle for when changing jobs 😄

It ends up in your armor inventory tabs when you swap
Ohhh
True
Well dont sell it all then! As I did because of wanting clean bags
Now I have to rebuy armor
What is the highest possible Itemlevel right now?
Perfect thanks^^
Are the maps in the event useful at all or can I stop caring after mounts
What does that mean if I may ask? I noticed my chocobo goes faster in certain maps.
There's two tiers of ground mount speed
You get the first tier just by doing story
And its a per area bases
Okay tnx!
Second tier needs to be brought, but by that time you can fly which is already the max speed
So they're basically worthless
why has it no name tag O_O
probably part of your character config settings
you can set it to not show on monsters at full HP or out of combat
hi guys. was wondering what options can u change at the Aesthetician as a viera?
Same as any other race afaik. Basically everything that has to do with your head/face excluding the face itself
I'm not sure if they fall under facial features in which case they could be changed
Stuff like scars or beards can be changed for other races
i see. okie thanks 🙂
I've completed both nier raids, how do I get the yorha title?
There is no title.
next to name = fc tag
above/below name = title
fc tags don’t show up in duties/instances
If I have the windows version of the game purchased and I buy full MAC collector's edition (has 30 days sub, full collector's and full MAC version) would I get the sub and collector's for my windows version too
no, they’re separate versions
I've seen people on reddit telling me if I buy the MAC one I'll have the collector's for windows as well but I wanted to confirm
if i do the daily roulette missions more than once, will i still get tomes?
So it is shared?
the collectors items are yes since you'd be on the same account with the same characters
you mean the complete edition???
only the extra bonuses would be shared right
And that's what I'm talking about
so if I buy this I'll have it for windows as well?
Amazing
30 days sub + collectors + mac cheaper than just collectors XD
collectors edition doesn’t give you a windows license
he has a windows license
Yep
.
I just started up ffxiv on my PC and everything is so blurry when in motion. Even when I turned off motion blur I can see the screen becoming blurry, it’s weird. The game on my PS4 was very sharp. It’s not that way on my PC . Any help?
@opaque fiber
my friend bought the windows version already and it worked
huh
okay nevermind
we dont have that version on na
yea if thats the officical store that works
typos
holy hell
yea you're good
Yes I noticed it isnt on NA
which is super weird 😛
But I basically changed the link from NA to EU
Can someone help me
yea thats why i was confused, cuase theres nothing like that in na
So to confirm, it would work then?
just ask your question
@final niche running a roulette for a second time is the exact same as directly queueing for the dungeon
we dont know the cause of your issue and dont have enough info to begin to diagnose it
yup
😦
you would only get the tomestones that the duty itself would give
official store, you're good
no
ty
amazing
daily bonus for roulettes is once
thanks 🤞
Does lvl up 3 jobs at the same time get anyone burn out?
how blurry is your game? the game does need a little bit of sharpening visually imo but i’m not sure if that’s your issue
Or it s fun?
and honestly tech might be a better channel honestly, cause it may be a problem with your computer
@leaden ginkgo
some people stick to one job at a time
I have 3 fav jobs
@leaden ginkgo I think you can level 3 jobs from MSQ? not sure
@opaque fiber sidequests?
I know for sure you can level 2 since that's what I'm doing but I seem still overleveled on both
I love doing sidequests
i can buy complete edition as a one time payment?
yes
are the jumping puzzles not in the game anymore?
there are
They're still here
there was a new one when the firmament finished irc too
there are in golden saucer iirc?
how do you get to them?
o wow, i thought it was monthly payments
thats the sub
you get 30 days of sub time free for buying the base game or complete edition
after that you gotta pay a sub
45 days actually
no its defualt 30
ah ok, so we buy the complete edition + pay a sub on top?
It's 30 + 15
15 is the from leveling on a preferred world
No
so no, its 30
The 15 is preferred bonus
Yes but you won't get the 15 until you buy the game
thats still not included by default and shouldnt be treated as such to prevent misinformation
cause not everyone starts on a preferred world
wait, really?
yes
nice ty
i didnt start on a preferred world
i didnt bother getting that 15 days of sub time cause i dont feel like leveling an alt
I'm not sure what's a preferred world meaning if you could specifiy please
!faq preferredworld
gdi
^
yup
Hmm how much time is the max for the email received afer purchasing stuff?
ive had to wait 20 minutes before
Oh alright good to know then
I recalled it was instant last time so I was a bit worried lol
nope, can vary by email ......provider? thing? sometimes stuff arrives slower
whats the difference between entry vs standard sub?
Yes true, I'll recheck if I did the right email tho
!faq subprice
if it doesnt come within an hour id double check on your card payment history or w/e that it went through
Literally just amount of characters
o ok ty
Used paypal
okay paypal history then
It did go through
I hope LMAO
I used the suggested one..
it looks alright but I didn't read it compeltely
yeah just checked it's the correct email
yea just wait a little bit then
Can pld keep goring blade’s dot up all the time?
ye i know i should but the timing feels weirdly strict so just wondering
you use it every 3rd combo.
Because it kinda is. Pld rotation is static
is requiecast sth to use on cd?
!faq pldrotation
Typically
!faq pldopener
Refer to pins in #629757373568778262 for encounter-specific rotation suggestions.
ye i’m ok with the opener but i drift like mad soon after xD
Paladin's natural rotation is approximately 63 seconds long, which means Fight or Flight and Requiescat (both with 60-second cooldowns) are delayed by 1 GCD per minute. In some situations this can cost FoF GCDs or even a Confiteor usage before the end of a phase, and in very long encounters with minimal downtime, physical oGCDs must eventually be delayed as well to stay lined up with FoF.
By using 1 less Holy Spirit per minute (or Atonement, if necessary) the rotation may be shortened to 60 seconds. However, this comes at the additional cost of a Goring Blade tick, and may not be a potency gain if the phase ends on a weaker GCD than Atonement as a result, or if a 63-second rotation lines up better with certain mechanics.
There is no simple answer for which rotation is best without considering how it affects the entire encounter.
scholar wants a lot of piety, right?
nah
Only enough
Healers only take as much piety as they need
should i focus tenacity then?
No
tenacity does nothing for healers
It does nothing for you and just a poor stat in general
oh, tenacity is hp restored, not healed
Anyone know if a PSN sale is coming anytime soon?
oh so it’s a well- known problem. That’s comforting xD
Hi, I'm new to the game. i'd like to know what's the point of lvling a free compagny, and how to do so
determination and/or crit then?
PS sales are rarely announced in advance
crit>dh=det
they're usually announced as they happen
Is the fact that a pc one got announced that its gonna come soon?
not necessarily
Damn

@civic mantle leveling it up unlocks benefits such as more tabs of the FC chest, able to activate 2 FC actions at once, and a larger stockpile of inactive actions
also you need to rank up to like 6-8 to be able to have an FC house
6
you also need 4 members in the fc to be able to buy a house
unless you buy a whole fc with a house off another player
doing things in general for the most part
basically anything that generates EXP or GC seals slowly build it up
^, but also the fastest way would be trading in gear to your grand company
Is there a quest to unlock trading ?
reach Sergeant 2nd Class in your grand company
it's the "Expert Delivery" tab from the Personnel Officer at your grand company
Wow my gear sets didn’t carry on over
should I just spam the twinning for allegory after doing all the daily ones?
guess I'll do twinning then. I'm here for a good time, not a short one
It worked, thanks for the help
thanks for the help, I guess i have to gather company seals for the moment :')
is there a way to lock the log window position?
it bugs me so much to have to tweak it any time I accidentally move it
here? rp, to raid more (loot lockouts for current tier)
but ffxiv is kinda punishing for multiple characters since everything is locked behind the main story quests
sometimes it’s just fun to look at a different character on your screen
also, datacenter restrictions
some people have alts to play with friends on different dcs
or sometimes your savage static’s schedule is delayed and you want to do savage earlier on your own
but doesn't doing a raid on a different character defeat the purpose...
also, it appears there isn't one but if I'm overlooking something I'd love to hear it.
there isnt one afaik
some peopel like raiding that much
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Check your sharing settings, gotta make sure stuff like that is shared across all your gearsets
Where to check sharing settings
Personally, I have multiple characters for a variety of reasons. Wanting to have characters on different datacenters. Wanting to join a new FC without server transferring or leaving my current FC. Wanting to level with friends.
Character config -> hotbar settings -> sharing
any hotbar that has the option there turned on will be the same across all jobs
While turning it off means it can be different for each one
So should I turn on everything
Aside from the ones you actually use for your job actions
Those should change with the job, obviously
I'm hesitating between bard and ninja, what should I take? and for what? pls
Whichever one you like more.
I'd say NIN is easier than BRD.
Doesn't require constant awareness of multiple dots and procs.
Gotta admit, my BRD is level 61 so I may not be qualified 😄
lol
80 BRD has three different procs to watch (repetoire, song-based, and Refulgent Arrow), plus keeping track of their dot and song durations and refreshing them.
And speaking of the gameplay what's the difference?
NIN is melee. BRD is ranged.
BRD is a very "random" job in the sense that it's all about proc management
While NIN has a very static rotation but is more fast paced
NIN is combo-based. BRD is proc-based.
high apm
whats considered the hardest job to play?
SMN? Maybe? Just because it has the longest full rotation cycle from start to finish.
See a lot of people will say SMN but its rotation is just long but not that difficult once you have it down
Yeah.
But that's exactly what I mean, depends on what you find difficult in a job
That's why I qualified it like that.
my point is I know people claiming SAM to be hard because it's too fast for them
Personally I find SCH to be really difficult to play well.
SAM is one of the easier jobs.
I would agree 😄
I've heard BRD has less DPS than NIN, is it?
It does have less dps but that shouldn't matter tbh
But yeah, I've also heard people say that DNC is "hard", and that's literally the easiest dps job in the entire game, imo.
It's not like BRD is useless because of that, it's just lower on the scale
for the changes to melding and repairing, do i just need 1 DoH at lvl 80?
BRD makes up for marginally lower dps by having a great deal of raid utility.
If you are wondering with which job to start btw then go with BRD because you can't start as NIN anyway
melding yes, repairing no
repairing you need whats listed on the gear to repair it
boo
But you have to remember that the difference between best and worst dps, assuming similar skill levels by the players, is maybe 5%.

on april 13th does the moonfire stuff disappear from the crafting log?
no.
the moonfire stuff has been there since forever
the crafting material isn't new
ARR treasure maps
oof that sounds like a grind
rng
if you want any i'd advise buying some now
market has been utterly obliterated by the moogle tomes event, so this'll be the easiest time to buy and hold
yea my plan is just stocking up on it to sell moonfire clothes later lol
moonfire clothes may stay low on price as they themselves drop from potd
namely, the floors of potd everyone does for leveling
!faq potd
palace of the dead
Effective Levelling Method
The commonly accepted method for levelling in POTD is to start at floor 51 and clear to 60, then reset the save and start back at floor 51, though if you don’t have floor 51 unlocked, 1-10 is an acceptable alternative.
For HoH the principle is the same, instead you’ll be running floors 21-30 instead.
o that thing
what are bicolor gemstones for?
used to buy monster materials among other things like minions/furniture/TT cards
they're marked on the map with a red-blue gem icon
formidable cogs are exchanged in Eulmore at Fathard to get a minion for 6 cogs, mount for 12 cogs
!weekly
that time
okay
anyone knows how's the whistle for this called?
bomb palanquin horn?
is it possible to use an item icon as a macro icon?
I don't see it in the documentation, but I see a post on reddit that says it works with /micon "Item Name" item
/micon "Coffee Biscuit" item
/ac Reflect <wait.3> no suck luck rip
maybe it's only equippable items
It has to be in your inventory it looks like
Or armoury chest. Chocobo saddlebag and retainer inventory don't appear to count
I had some in my inventory
Salutes, when you reach 196h and SHB, you automatically get out of Novice Network right?
If you want to enter NN after that happens, what you have to do? Thanks in advance
become a mentor
HQ? Mine works with NQ coffee biscuits, but doesn't seem to work with stuff that I have only HQ of.
that's probably it then
not going to keep a set of nq ones in my inventory to make my macro icon show up, so I guess that's that then
thanks for your help!
So there's a weird character that's the HQ symbol in the game, but will just appear as a box in other fonts, like in Discord, which is
If you paste that in to the macro it becomes the
and works for the item
yeah, I've got a macro witha dictionary of ffxiv's weird symbols
guess I'll try that
that did it, cheers
though I wish I could grab the icon from the recipe list instead, but I didn't see a way to do that
that worked indeed
What are the classes that are not for fighting
Like weaver and cooking i wanna know all of those
disciple of hand and land
Thank you
can i use any class to get loathsome memories from crystal tower?
you can't make that smaller sadly
I'm pretty sure that stays the same size regardless as an indicator to what chat you're primarily using.
^
do you have the same screen resolution?
Yes, we both play on the same monitor, actually, at a 3440x1440 resolution
any ui scaling settings on?
4k
thaat'd be it probably
At what point should I start using the macros or whatever people have talked about with crafting? 2 days played in this game and have probably spent 80% of it crafting, I am addicted.
When you need to start crafting HQ items or collectibles in mass. Macros help you do repeats without memorizing rotations.
I'm level 10 and I'm at Limsa Lominsa Lower Decks trying to talk to Lonwoerd but the quest is Red.
Anything I can do about it?
Question: Are Deep Dungeons still worth it to level an alt quest? In combination with Roulettes of course. Trying to level AST, but starting at 30 makes me cry.
Have you done your level 10 class quest?
it's more efficient
is that on main scenario quest?
No, it's from your class guild.
so i was doing aurum vale and for the whole run my shield lob was gray and i couldn't use it on any target, what's going on?
Did you have a shield equipped
sorry just started yesterday xD
holy shit
LMAO
-.-
Does anyone remember how often weather changes? Or the specific times?
It changes at 12 am, 8 am, and 4 pm Eorzean Time
Right, thank you!
when does daily reset happen everyday normally
!daily
thanks
Which tomestones?
I mean... depends on the tomestone though
There definitely are tomestones you can (and should) get weapons for
question if i own ffxiv digital edition for ps4 and say i wanna buy endwalker disc edition is it gonna work?
Not as accessible as armour?
Speak to Rowena's Representative in major cities to buy weapons the most simply.
Poetics, you can. Endgame tomes, you can with some additional tokens
Oh okay
With level 80 tomestones, you must spend your tomestones on a token item and then trade those alongside some normal raid tokens for the weapon.
Oh alright. In major cities it is

For the original poetic vendors you just have to talk to a different NPC nearby to get the weapons instead of the armor person
If you're in Mor Dhona, they're standing next to each other in the tent.
Or Rowena's Representative in the 3 Cities will have it broken down by type for each class/class type.
hey guys someone told me to do a benchmark and this is what i got but in my game im always stuck at 20 fps all of a sudden
I believe the physical edition will just come with a code that you redeem on PSN. There might not even be a disc included.
yeah that's about right for a "fairly high" result
the benchmark's pretty optimistic with what it considers "high"
there's no way a 2700x//590 should be doing anything less than 60fps though
maybe the fps is limited in settings?
I feel like that's an obvious driver issue/settings issue, yeah
nope not the limits
Hey! Just today I started the game. Currently level 10. Should I complete all the quests, even side quests? Or what should I do 🙂
just stick to msq and your class quests
@hollow mist the only important quests are blue
keep the side quests for alt classes
yeah or hunting logs to
the rest are completely optional
Well no
and generally unrewarding beyond the storyline
Other
are important too
But yeah
are worthless unless you just want to simply do them
sorry for asking, but what's MSQ?
Main story
main story quests
but if anyone could help me haha you guys would be a huge help
just to be sure, where are you that you're getting 20 fps?
I would run the benchmark again, alt tab and see if there's something hammering your cpu
ill be in the field or uldah
So yeah TL:DR, do your main quests, and most
you come across are very helpful and unlock additional content like optional dungeons, all the raids, class quests which you basically have to do, hairdresser unlock, challenge log unlock all very very useful. The main obvious ones you can skip if wanted are the ones that unlock other classes and leves which are very apparent by the name of the quests @hollow mist
for example quarrymill i used to have over 50fps
oh, if you've got the game installed
now its just 20 or below
play it until you get a massive fps drop
then open task manager and check if there's something hammering your cpu
^
occasionally windows will decide it's update time or some stupid shit like that
because yeah, something's not right there. tbh, I don't think your setup should be struggling to hit 60fps 99% of the time in most areas at near maximum settings
assuming you're running 1080 or 1440
is there any sort of autopath? or should I go manually?
No autopath
closest thing to autopath is a chocobo rental
there's no autopath, use your minimap/map
additionally there's auto run using mid mouse, but you still need to turn
the chocobo rentals cost peanuts and getting around before you have a mount sucks, so do make use of them
I wouldn't recommend chocobo rentals very highly.
I only used them to get to Horizon since I can afk in that time
They don't take you many useful places and aren't much faster than walking.
They do suck since you have to of talked to the chocobokeep in both settlements
yeah same. i use them when i need to get somewhere and i need to potty break or something
im gonna update wondows real quick because it had an optional quality update
lol wondows^
wondows is my favourite operating system, linox just can't compare
does crafting FC house require HQ items?
No
Giving in HQ items can reduce the amount needed in the next step though potentially
So I just turned into a level 1 rogue how do i get gear? the quest im about to do is level 9 lmao
market or craft
gotcha
go out and do the first couple steps of your hunting log
to get a few levels out
before trying a lv9 quest
how do i check out the store to buy cosmetics ??
Honestly not like gear is majorly important at those levels, keep doing your class quests for some gear and weaps and you're probably good until you can get the brand-new set from hall of the novice
The marketboard in game?
You'd need to own the game and then it's just a board in the city markets and stuff
If you mean the Mogstation optional items store then you just go to Mogstation and...I forget exactly where but it should be obvious
thank u
so at level 10 i have to go back to the rogue guild for class quest? and then level 30?
^
so go back at level 5? xD
5 10 15 20 25 30
any job quests you can accept are shown right under your current msq
at the top left
so if there's anything there
do it
asap
Goes for any job
so every important quest will come up on the top left?
Where it says Way of the Lancer. Any time something shows up in that spot, prioritize it
Once you finish your class quests and got far enough into main story you can go unlock ninja which is what rogue upgrades into and then you have ninja job quests all the way up to level cap
i dont have to do anything but do the quest?
No
Yes, anything that could be considered mandatory will be shown up there
Listen the MSQ tracker does show a lot of really important quests you should do
job quests are not optional, they unlock new abilities
But it's not everything you SHOULD do
There are more quests that you should do that don't appear there
Like the challenge log unlock quest
Extremely good for leveling
Also literally any optional dungeon or raid unlock
Wouldn't show up there
the quests that show in the top right should always be done. the other quests that show with this icon :
should always at least be investigated

and more often than not, should be done
Your blue quest did not show up properly
it shows for me
wow thank u
it's fine on my end, weird
Pretty much if it's a class unlock or leve unlock you can leave it if you want. Otherwise you should almost certainly do it
i feel like if i asked the world of warcraft community they would of told me to ** myself
nah ppl here are generally pretty helpful
we can still tell you to f*** yourself if that helps
did the arr crafting relics have glows like the skysteel stuff does?
or is skysteel the first glowing crafter items
Like right now I'm level 3 rogue just doing quest so i can continue my msq is that what i am suppose to do?
I think skysteel is the first crafter relics
Depending on where you are in the msq lvl 3 might be too low
Yeah do your hunting log though, super good exp
my msq is level 9 lol
Yeah, that's fast to catch up to though
yeah, then you should do your hunting log
uhhh
H
man i should watch a YouTube video
the default hotkey is "H"
The achievement tools for crafters and gatherers glowed gold but yeah they aren't really relics in any sense, they never really had relics, they basically just had AF sets until skysteel
Or under the logs tab on the taskbar button selector thingy.
Have to do your level 1 rogue quest to unlock it and then it's under the logs menu and yeah think the shortkey was H
Skysteel?
If you are high level it's easy to get
so different race have different msq right?
no, the only difference is first 15 levels depending on your starting location
which is based on your initial class
nothing about race
Your starting class determines your first 15 levels of main story because it's city-based but after that it's all the same
Yes?
the top tier ARR crafter weapons were lucis, right?
IIRC yes
I did say they didn't glow
Would someone be ever so kind to craft me an aesthetic gear part? If yes, DM me please, thanks for your time ❤️
When I do pick a second job how do I go about leveling it up? I'm back at level 1 again right? Do I get a new set of quests? Or is there a quicker way to level up new jobs?
!faq altlvlguide
but yeah my fps is around 20 and i dont know what it could be
I'd try running it without other things in the background and see if that fixes it
ok ill try it
fastest way to travel is by paying to teleport right? xD
Yee
im down 1.5k
can't get faster than that yeah
Is there a way to turn off 2fa temporarily? Looking ahead to 6.1 housing madness
Thank you!
Can be a bit hard to pay for in your first 10 levels or so but you do get more than you can ever need for Gil teleports fairly soon
so mobs don't drop gear\ money?
Gear no
Teleport fees are a drop in the bucket. Playing normally gives you more than enough to cover all teleport needs just passively after like level 10-15
It's not something you should be worried about.
You get heaps of money from the main story (like 3mil by the time you've gotten to endgame), as well as from daily roulettes and dungeons.
so when going into a new map i should always go and touch that crystal?
idk what u call it
it's probably zoom
my ffxiv fps drops like a rock when plex is involved (for example)
what's your normal fps?
I'm pretty sure one of them does. I definitely remember glowly fishing rod I swear
The tools rewarded from the "craft/gather x unique items in the crafting/gathering log" achievements glow when used for crafting/gathering
it might be something that doesn't show in dressing
It doesn't
whereas the skysteel ones show up while crafting and in dressing
nor when just standing around unsheathed
then I will be happy with my skysteel
Ah yeah, skysteel ones are the first to glow when unsheathed
The rest only glow when actually crafting and gathering
Yo, um, really new player here who hasn't died yet: what happens when I die?
You get to respawn at your home aetheryte or wait to be ressed by someone else
That's it
"respawn or wait"
Ah, ok, thank you!
if it's a dungeon you get sent to the beginning
basically, it's just as if you hit return.
^ essentially is just a free use of return
Thanks y'all!
you do take some additional gear durability damage
nothing to worry much about
just means you'll have to repair slightly sooner
Yeah it's basically nothing of note
wheres the autorun key at
R / middle mouse click by default

Hello, i am new my english aren't very good but i have question about a game, i like play and dowload game but before buy game in steam i have question ab out game :/ where can i see all classes ? this game have a lot requirements for computer? and someone speak spanish? :c
this game have a lot requirements for computer?
Not really
There is something you can run to test if it'll run well @next lily
!faq benchmark
So... erm... why can't I change gear? It just says "Cannot change gear now."
another question its recommends dowload ths game in steam or another plataform? because i see in youtube this game need pay for playing moth?
month*
Could be because of the content you are doing? Hard to say without more information
If I understand correctly you played the free trial on Steam right?
Are you in combat? Where are you, whaat is your job, what is the gear, etc...
and i nedd pay for playing one twice or its pay for month?
!faq subprice
Pay per month
Oh, can you not change gear in combat? I'm in an intense fight with a training dummy...
nope, that'd be why
ohhhh its per month ty people
Purple quest?
Fates probably
Like this? @neat ermine
It's just...there, for the later expansions they don't give terrible xp for participating but for ARR and stuff it's kinda eh, sometimes I join in just for the sake of doing it, some fates are rare and are kinda like world bosses and can drop some unique stuff too
¯_(ツ)_/¯
oh gotcha and any way to mute the combat music its kinda annoying now
System configuration > sound settings > untick the setting for battle music
Can turn off battle music in sound settings. ^_^
Battle music starts to vary a little when you start hitting dungeons, fates and different zones, doesn't feel so repetitive.
can anyone help me still im still stuck at 20 fps and i close out most background apps
what are your specs?
Where's your GPU?
Should have some GPU usage on there as well?
best shout is to reduce reolution and lower all graphics seetings
then once u get a good fps, increase graphics slowly
o yore right
how do i get it to show gpu usage
Right click the headers and select GPU
do u have gpu drivers installed lol
your gpu is a 98 percent
ty
That's mine. And also about right for FFXIV.
oh sorry
show graphics settings
oh and also what is the best way to level up a dark knight?
In the System Configuration options (in game) is your GPU showing up at the top on the Main Display section?
Roulettes, dungeons at your level and PotD
thank you
put everything to low
ouch
Can I do something about the mount music? It's kinda annoying how it cuts off and restarts every time 😦
til i get a good balance between graphics and fps
You can turn it off in the settings
i never had to do that i alway had higher than 50fps but all of a sudden its crap now
restart your pc maybe?
@strange coral Thanks a lot!
Might be worth running a userbenchmark and posting results (shut down FFXIV to do it) https://www.userbenchmark.com/?redirFrom=userbenchmark.com&
That benchmark will test all of your system components, will also pick up any issues you have with graphics card.
Have you tried any other games since this started? To see if only FF14 is having problems or if it's everything else too.
sims 4 runs over 150 fps
skyrim at medium runs at 50 or above
fallout 4 runs at 30 to 40 high graphics
ill do that benchmar test real quickk
oh before i forget, when do i get a mount? and how?
will it automatically show it on the top left?
!faq mount
'When can I get my first mount?'
The quest that allows you to use mounts, 'My Little Chocobo' is unlocked by completing the level 20 main story quest 'The Company You Keep'. The quest is located at the Grand Company base you chose and you'll need to buy the Chocobo Issuance from your Grand Company Quartermaster. You can get the 200 needed Grand Company seals by doing the main story quest that comes after 'The Company You Keep'.
'Are there any differences between mounts?'
Besides looks, all mounts are the same speed along with being able to fly. Some mounts allow multiple people to ride at once.
'Can I make my mount faster?'
Zones have one or two ranks of mount speed that increase the ground speed of mounts. The first rank comes from completing specific quests in the main scenario quests, with the second rank coming from Riding Maps which are bought with either Allied Seals, Centurio Seals, or Bicolor Gemstones. Mount Speed Boosts do not increase the flying speed of mounts.
The quest will be on the top-left tracker, yes
Also are you using any overlays like GShade? And is the software for that up to date? @sacred olive
yas!!!! im so happy with this game and i just got it yesterday xD
I'm already thinking of fasting for 3 days and just playing all day
gshade? so the amd software thingy i checked that and it was up to date
I see some FATEs on the map where it also has a small XP icon saying [Bonus EXP applied]. When, why and how do these appear?
First time I see them
They are random
The bonus exp isn't major.
If you don't know then you're not using it. ^_^ If anything it would make performance worse than it already is.
I see ty
I just unlocked duty finder, it told me to queue for sastasha, and I did. I've been waiting for a while now, literally nobody has joined, is this normal?
im confused wdym lol sorry
For dps yes, it takes a while since it’s not peak hours
Ah ok. Thanks.
I went with my starting city. ^_^
waiting 10-15 minutes for a dungeon queue as a dps is pretty normal
Longer when it's a very dead time like this
Ooo
heres that bench test https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/41484597
You can do other stuff while you wait, though
GShade is essentially a graphics modification for FFXIV (and a few other games) used to improve the graphics, to be using it you would have to have installed it, sounds like you haven't.
Are there different benefits with each company or are they all the same?
Different uniforms and headquarters locations. That's pretty much it.
@sacred olive Did you have FFXIV open when you ran that?
i did not
i do have steam and task manger open though
Something is draining your resources, for the CPU, GPU and RAM (CPU and RAM specifically) to be performing that poorly.
The #technology-discussion channel might be a better place to discuss this. There's also more people that are knowledgeable about this kind of stuff that watch that channel.
Agreed.
ok

is the crystarium set worth getting in full or do you get better stuff early enough down the line?
With allegory? Nah you can get 510 gear on the mb
Just did the sastasha mission.. thanks guys!
is the mb gear the exarchic set?
Ye
Make sure to check other servers prices first
if you're not doing savage or extreme content then crystarium stuff is ok as a stand-in til you get either the 510 eden stuff or the cryptlurker stuff, if you're not willing to spend the gil
more like I don't have the gil
but if you're planning on doing savage stuff then exarchic is the bare minimum
savage is that hard? whew
yes
It needs 510 minimum
haven't finished post-ShB yet so I still got some time at least
To access all floors
and by then I should be able to craft exarchic
Do you have pentamelded crafting gear?
not the full set yet
but I'm getting there
missing the shoes and like a ring and ear-ring?
Well that explains where your money went lol
haha yes
its not that savage is that hard its more that with inexperience its better to have extra gear padding to cover the difference
to be fair I looped all the money I made with cooking back into my CUL
I didn't really have any capital before
also at minimum ilvl you might take more damage than healers may be used to compensating for
Where is Gangos?
gangos can be reached via the main aetheryte of the doman enclave
or the ferryman at the dock
Or do you mean in lore?
In game
Was there a way to reset chocobo skills
Trying to unlock Bozjan Southern Front
There was right?
That's it, cheers
can buy them with either allied or grand company seals
allied seals being the much cheaper choice
they cost a buttload of company seals
You’ve done the ivalice raids right?
Na, looking at those quests now
that's a prereq for BSF
yeah
One would be enough i think, right now my chocobo is attacker, but i'm thinking speccing it into healer
you don't need to respec if you don't have the resources to
you eventually get enough points to put into everything
^
Ah
You'll need thavnairian onions past level 10 but....
that said a couple ranks into healer tree before you go for a full max out on attacker tree is comfy
How far in would be good. 4 ranks or so?
you can't get to gangos until you've done the questline but once you've done it it's accessed via the doman enclave
I just bought shadow bringers on steam, But It doesnt look like Its registered that I have it/downloaded it, what do i do?
Is there something that I dont know about?
Anyone know why I can't move with WASD? It just types in chat. No shortcuts work either, just goes straight to chat.
did you turn on direct chat
disable the setting "enable direct chat"
you have to register your code onto the mogstation
Right there in the middle
how do i get the resistance appraiser to appraise my fragments? all he does is say this and it exits the conversaion. I'm at the second quest where i need a forgotten fragment
Ohh, that's what it means by direct chat. Oops. Thanks y'all.
you have to find the one the quest giver was asking for and turn in the quest
It has to be a fragment of Skill; the quest objective neglects to mention this
so once i do that quest he will appraise my other fragments?
yep
does duty difficulty matter?
yes, save for hard mode, which is just a different normal
if you mean for solo instances no
Yeah, for solo instances if you fail you can go to very easy with no consequences
Just wondering if I use glamour on a strong armor and I get a stronger armor later will i still be able to use the same glamour i had on my weaker armor?
yes
Yep! If it’s on a glamor plate it’s really easy to do
Assuming you still have the original piece with you, yes
you interact with it
You can't
if they are interactable
if you need to climb a ladder it will have an interact point to right-click on
ty
To sub in ps4 or ps5 is the same as pc?
Go to mogstation, log in, pay the sub, and redeem a code?
there is no code unless you bought a time card
Ok so after payment it syncs to the account thanks for the information
Explain im dumbb
!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.
See here
There’s probably an FAQ on the bot but I am new and have 0 idea how to use it SO!
In the inn there is a glamor dresser. As long as you have prisms you can put any item you want into the dresser (must have 100%) repair. From there you can assign items to a glamor plate. Then equip the plate in a main city and voila
yeah, there isn’t one
