Top left hand corner of the party finder.
there's a little cogwheel icon in the top left of the duty finder
no, not party finder
Small settings cog, easy to miss.
that's a different thing
Oops, yeah meant duty finder.
oh there! Cool thanks
I have a similar question tho: Whenever I use Party Finder, how do I enter a dungeon or trial or whatever when we're ready to go?
gotta close the party finder posting
Cause I've tried opening Duty Finder but it says "You must close party finder" or something.,
and then just use duty finder
yeah exactly, you have to basically exit party finder first
party finder closes by default when the group is full, so to start before that you'd need to end the PF listing
So the Party Finder simply just makes a party, I close it, the party remains and I open Duty Finder?
yes.
It's just a tool to form groups, it's not about queueing from there
When I do then choose to open Duty Finder, will it immediately start or look to fill the rest of the spots?
If you have undersized party turned off and are still missing people it will look for them, yeah
If you have it turned on it will just throw you in there as you are, no level sync either
Is there a cap on how expensive Teleporting can be?
999
...ouch. Thanks though.
also you can get free teleport tickets with allied or centurio seals later at 50/60+
Also you get 99 teleport tickets after 30 days if you use a referral code iirc
When a new expansion releases, do you get to do all the MSQ at once (without patch content ofc)?
Or is the MSQ released in chunks
yeah
all at once
nice ty
it's all at once, then subsequent patches add onto it
its a wonderful experience ๐
so previous expansions typically do the main MSQ, then patches x.1 to x.3 wrap up the expansion
and the MSQ gear replaces your current endgame gear right?
in 6.0 it'll all be self-contained
if you're in BiS gear for shadowbringers, you'll likely replace it around level 84-85
no patch content?
More specifically, the patch story will be a new storyline

Ohh nice, looking forward to it
you'll love it ๐
Hopefully I'll be done with Shadowbringers when the new thing releases. I'm about to start HW lol
ahh that's more than enough
anybody know if its possible to bind an action to shift+numpad7 without it just binding to the home key
turn on numlock
my numlocks on but it seems like hitting shift turns it back off
Seems like that's a default windows feature
Googling it, seems like there's not a straightforward way to disable it...
https://www.reddit.com/r/AutoHotkey/comments/fmueus/stop_shift_key_from_disabling_numlock/ Here's someone's guide to using AutoHotKey to run a script to get around the issue.
Seems like that's the only sort of thing you can do as a solution.
Hello, desperately looking for a crafter who can make me HQ aesthet gear on Chaos Moogle, thanks for your time
thats what im thinking im gonna have to do ty
noob queestion: how do I make my retainer equip gears and go on ventures?

with the quest an ill-conceived venture in one of the big 3 cities
possibly your starting city but not too sure on that

The Gratuity is the gil
drachen yes, wyrm no.
I saw a mount, it was white, very small and very chubby with tiny legs, anyone knows that mount from that description
!mount fatter cat
Seeing as how this pursy pussy can defy the very laws of physics by propelling itself high into the firmament, it is very likely that the creature is either a voidsent using a bloated cat's corpse as its corporeal vessel, or a deceased pet reanimated by one well versed in the necromantic arts.
Mog Station (Premium)
So like
the i90 job gear can be reobtained from running Satasha Hard, Qarn Hard, and Snowcloak and rolling on the antique tokens
ok dude
Do people still do uwu, because Iโve been wanting to clear it for so long now but PF just idk lol
hate that mount
oh it might have been fatter cat, thanks
it has a rather dark lore apparently
description is just like "lul yknow, it may be a bloated zombie cat possessed by a demon or something, no big deal"
The lore is all in that kupo message above
you can try this discord, though I can't testify to how effective it is. https://discord.gg/rcVpJhQ
true
Thanks
fwiw the other languages didn't put that in
But EN localisation know we need to suffer the burden of harsh truths.
Can you store the wyrm set in armory
Can I just get some help regarding the game?
How do you summon minions?
Me and a friend of mine picked up the free trial version of the game yesterday and have been playing all night, we are deciding to buy the game but unsure which version we should buy, anyone have any ideas?
on the menu on the bottom right, find Character and open it up to find Minion Guide
Character Tab > Minion Guide > Right Click on the one you want to summon.
assuming you've redeemed the inventory item, you will find it there
What's your question?
I wrote it right after
they asked it
Oops.
well buying base Shadowbringers gets you access to all the content, I believe any alternate 'version' just has optional extras like mounts and such?
someone correct me on this?
I would say whilst it's on sale the Complete edition would be your best bet if you want all of the content unlocked.
Thanks y'all
If you buy just Shadowbringers without having already purchased the Starter edition you won't be able to access it i believe.
If you're on the trial, the Shadowbringers editions won't do you any good.
Those are just the expansion pack. You would also need to purchase the Starter Edition if you decided to get one of the Shadowbringers versions.
So I should purchase one of the three "online" ones prior to shadowbringers?
The Complete Edition is the whole game. The Complete Collector's edition is the whole game with extra in-game cosmetic items.
If you purchase the complete edition you won't need to purchase Shadowbringers.
ohhh, so all of the ones below shadowbringers are the actual game, and the ones above is the dlc
what youre looking for is the complete edition which include starter base game + all expansions with shb
Starter Edition = Base game + Heavensward (first expansion)
Shadowbringers = Stormblood + Shadowbringers (2nd and 3rd expansion)
Shadowbringers collector's edition = same as above but with extra cosmetic stuff
Complete Edition = Base game + all expansions
Complete Collector's Edition = above but with all expansions collector's editions
^
Ohhhhhh, alright thank you all
yeah, it seems that from the free trial you would need to purchase complete edition in order to get basegame, not just expansions
yep, free trial doesn't give you ownership of the base game+HW
you can always upgrade for the bonus rewards from the other editions if you felt like it later
Also, it would be worth looking on r/ffxivraf for some recruitment codes, will give you a few extra bits in game.
Is it worth buying the complete collectors edition? like do you think the additonal items you get are worth it?
and will do @slate elm
i mean its on sale in the EU Store rn from what ive seen so i dont see why not
the collector's edition stuff is 99% vanity items
The "worth" of the glamour items is going to be relative. You can look and see what you get with the collector's editions to decide if you want to pay extra for them or not.
think it was like 37.95 or something in euros vs the complete editions 30? or something
Alright, i see
the only one with an actual benefit is the HW collector's edition as that has a fantasia, which lets you edit your character again
Good to know its only vanity
yea costumes and mounts, but you can get a buncha mounts ingame
And Fantasias can be bought from the mogstation/ff14 online store
There is no P2W in XIV
Great to hear
closest thing to P2W is extra retainers which act as item storage and access to selling items on the marketboard, which is how players buy items in masse from other people
There's story skip...wouldn't class that as a P2W though, more just convenient if your starting an alt character. Would 100% recommend not using it if this is your first time playing.
All equippable items on the mogstation shop are purely cosmetic.
like the auction house from WoW, but without auctions
I see
Alright, well thanks for everything, i'll be sure to pick up the complete edition and start playing some more
have a good one everyone! Thanks again ^3^
oh right quick follow up question before I forget, anyone know how long the sale is on the EU version of the store?
april 1st
hey um has anyone else got this message and a crash upon starting up the game?
It has a lot to do with permissions in your my documents folder. Simply go to: C:\Users\Documents\my games\FINAL FANTASY XIV - A Realm Reborn delete all the contents in there, and then right click on the folder itself; it'll be set as read only. Uncheck that. You should be set after that. Boot up final fantasy XIV, and enter Eorzea.
Heyyyyyy!! This question might be too specific and i'll prolly just google it, but ... I'm trying to do the "Good intentions" quest line but I can't because I need to complete 'The Navel (Hard)' but I don't even have it on hard? how do i unlock it?
oh i see
i just googled it lol. thanks buddy i appreciate it
actually where is the waking sands??
Vesper bay
lol word. thanks dude i appreciate the location help
Western Thanalan
tyvm that helps a ton
For real though good practice to actually remember these places
yeah, I always forget Vesper bay has no aetheryte
and note that you can't just pick up Titan (hard) you have to do the ones he gives you in order
lol it would be good practice but i don't have the time xD
Moogking Ex: Once you bring them down to like 10%, do they have to die in a particular order?
ohhhh
Truly confusing battle
yeah, just do all the quests Urianger gives you
ahhh ok ok i can do that
They don't have to die in order but there is generally an idea of which ones are more annoying if left to live so people usually kill in that order
you get a bunch of free vesper bay teleport letters so check your invo too
The main thing is killing them before the main boss drops below....80% health?
oh i didnt even know teleport letters exist lmaooo
found em! thank guys i appreciate the help
Is Bard is okay? Far as beginner friendly?
if you wanna use the same piece in a house multiple times do you need to buy multiple of them
Yes
heyy which authernet shard in La Noscea would get me to moraby drydocks?
None.
fuck lol
The mini-shards only take you to various points around the city-state and to the gates of zones that connect to the city

๐
is the numpad targeting useful for anything or I can unbind those keys
I think 5 or 0 quickly let you go through dialogue and prompts
Besides those, not really
I dont really spam through dialogues so then I will just bind it to buffs
what kind of food/potions do people use in this game (late game)
gnb tank
how to unlock alexander raid thing? want to try getting alexadrian gear
id assume grade 4 tincture for dmg boost
For food it is either smoked chicken or chicken fettucine, depending mainly on the gcd tier you are going for
and yeah, grade 4 tincture
quest Disarmed from Slowfix (Idyllshire X:7.5 Y:6.5), which unlocks Alexander: Gordias.
its this one right?
yup, that's the one
cool ty
@tribal kiln I recommend just joining the balance discord btw to check out your full BiS
!faq balance
im in it already
then you can check stuff like that in the channel for each job
they usually list it under the BiS section
heyy if i finish a quest with my main char but I turn the quest in with an alternative class that I'm trying to level, would that alt class get the exp?
yup, xp would go to your alt job
where is the inn in new gridania?
Yes, as long as the alt job is high enough level to do the quest.
So if it's a level 73 quest, but your alt job is only level 50, you wouldn't be able to turn it in.
are there achievements regarding riding maps?
South of the Aetheryte.
oh right ty
for heavensward, is augmented shire gear the best for tank? someone said theres better gear that you get from alexander raid but i cant remember what armour they said
For leveling purposes, the poetics gear is going to be the easiest to get.
There technically is better gear but getting it is significantly harder than just using the shire gear
There may be a better set with raid gear, but it's generally not going to be worth the time or effort to get.
And there is next to no reason to get said gear
Since you'd need to do A9-12S.
only the substats will vary, not the item level
and frankly that makes zero meaningful difference at that level
i have the shire gear, thought i might as well get the better gear
thank you ^^
what is it called?
'better' it#s next to no better
Depends on your job, not every slot would be better
and iirc the gear is just Alexandrian
But again, I wouldn't advise getting it
A lot of effort for little to no gain
What crafting class should I learn before my road to 70 buff dissappears???
all of them
^
Do you think you could maybe recommend which one's first xD
They are best leveled all at the same time
Since they depend on each other to a certain extent
so if you level them one by one it will take much longer
https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Alexandrian_Fending_Set
its that right?
They all benefit each other really, level up 5-10 levels at a time each. The only one that doesn't really use anothers products is Culinarian.
tbh im more doing it for the challenge
Yes, that's it
nice ty
You'll probably have trouble finding people willing to do the raids though
lol ye
Though Culinarian does have a couple of recipes that the others use, just not as much.
i can see from reading online
Okay thanks
its a challenge tho, thanks for the help
leveling crafters and gatherers is fast even without road to 70 fwiw
so dont feel like you have to take advantage of that buff
it sure helps but dont fret
Also, if you haven't already levelled the gatherers, might even be worth doing that first, can do each one in a few hours with the Rt70.
Isnt culinarian more of a meme?
What you should do is definitely do unlock and level them all leisurely simultaneously, do their job quests for lv gears, and then wait til you reach HW to power level
Why?
did the devs give the fly-mount mechanic sooner into the game?
or did they not change it?
Complete the first part of ARR to unlock flying in ARR zones.
They added it to the end of the 2.0 questline after it was released in HW
But other than that, no
oh funny. i quit a while ago and started yesterday and i guess i was just one quest away from obtaining it lol
i thought they just kinda gave it to me because they changed thingsd lol
well thats cool
As a new player, should I buy the Starter Edition or Complete Edition of the game?
You might want to go with the free trial first
im new-ish too ... personally i would see how you feel before buying everything. i bought everything i never even got into expansions that i bought
Well the free trial has the same amount of content as the starter edition
Just has more restrictions
the complete edition would include everything that comes after lvl 60 too
So if you plan to play the whole thing you will need the complete edition sooner or later
I have a question : what does that mean? I get it every time I try to install the game
hello if i buy a mount from the store do i get it thru the mailman and just equip the mount
or do i need a quest?
Glamour*
It failed to download
Problems downloading the files. If you have a VPN try downloading with if off. Or try XIVQuickLauncher instead.
how do I get the XIVQuickLauncher?
It says on the main page that the complete edition is ยฃ17.49
But when clicked, it's ยฃ34.99
The site gives the wrong price. Why?
setup.exe
ok
On which site?
The actual store that the launcher directs you to
Starter Edition is "no longer available" and it gave the wrong price for Complete Edition

Oh
I'm dumb
Thanks
will the free trial stop when i reach lvl60 or will it stop when i get to shadowbringers?
It won't stop, but you won't be able to go past lvl 60
ohhhhh i seee
Also you won't have access to anything that comes after Heavensward
ahhh
what's better, to level some alt classes up to 60 before buying the subscription ... or just buying the sub and maxing out your main?
i bought a mount on the online store and it hasn't been delivered to my mail moogle its been 5mins does it usually take that long?
If it is an accountwide unlock (which is likely for mounts) it can take up to an hour
So just be patient
ahh okay it is accountwide
ty
will i get a notication or do i have to check my mailbox
Still waiting for cpnsole ver. Sales
there will be a notification sound and a little envelope icon in the top right
Maybe when ps5 ver. launches
Can i purchase mounts from the FFXIV online store using krysta?
What things should we be doing/hoarding in preparation for 5.5?
Tomestones and being up to date with the story (MSQ + Neir)
Does anyone want to give me a referral code before I subscribe?
30 day free trial from buying the ultimate edition or w/e is about to end
I forgot, is the best gear for levelling at 60 - shire gear?
Yes
right thanks
You won't be getting anything better til around 64/65 msq/dungeon in stormblood
can you just macro 4-star recipes or do you need to do anything special for them?
After revealing the product code, how many days of validity does that code have
Can you glamour an armor piece to be invisible? My hat in particular
Yes, go find Tataorga in Mor Dhona and buy the Emperor's New Hat from him
(pick up the rest of the "set" too, it's super cheap)
Perfect, thanks!
thanks!
When should I use a certain song? Id it based off team comp?
For bard? Generally it depends on the encounter. MB > WM > AP for aoe (dot up mobs first so you can spam rain of death). For single target, WM > MB > AP
The buffs aren't huge on the songs, I think IT'S always Wanderers Minuet to Mages Ballad to Army's Paeon?
^
is interrupt useful in pve? I tried to use it on bosses and don't think it did anything
!faq interrupt
If I queue up to MSQ on tank in demand, and finish past the daily reset, do I get both the daily bonus and the tank demand bonus?
It only works on THOSE PULSATING castbars
Interrupt goes from "eh negligible" to "interrupt this or die" very very quickly
oh nice
but tbh in high level content it only comes up once in a blue moon. The only two interruptibles in ex/savage I can remember off the top of my head are the drk/war tankbusters in sosex, and the add spell in E7S
I didn't do e1s and never got to add phase in 8 so fair
What happens when the 30 days sub runs out? I can't pay the monthly sub so does it return to a free account or does it just lock it?
Puppet bunker after first boss does aoe parlysis which is VERY FUCKING ANNOYING
Lock it.
Locked out
sigh This'll be a fun 30 days, I guess.
there is a slightly cheaper monthly sub if you're only planning to play one character, I believe.
Love how I spent ยฃ18 on a game I can only play for 30 days because I'm smart like that!
Its a subscription based game
have you played the free trial? Just do that if you haven't started yet. Depending on the amount of time you have to commit to gaming, the content in free trial can take you well over a month (speaking from experience as a married adult with a full time job)
RIP people like me who can't pay the sub lmao
pretty much
You don't have to pay every single month
That is unfortunately the way it is with most big MMO's. Has been since the EverQuest days.
But it's a monthly subscription, isn't it?
if i put a materia into some armour, can i then remove it at a later date?
Right click > retrieve
o ok so its possible, phew, ty

what's the fastest way to farm light on ARR relics?
Tam Tara Deepcroft or Bowl of Embers spam if you have fast load times
@strange coral no others instances?
I have a question : I cant download the game from the steam launcher so I used xiv launcher update , but when I open the steam version of the game it says still 40 gb
They're the quickest
^ Do them unsyced and solo them
@leaden ginkgo did you play on trial and recently got the full version?
I got the full version the entire time
oh rip someone help him im dumb
I assume the next expansion isn't for another year or so?
Fall
This year
I'm rushing it cause it's so damn fun!
pls help
You got 6 months
are you able to relocate immediately after purchasing a house on another plot? like same day?
is rogue/ninja class available for free trial from the get go?
Is there any way to get my keybinds to display on my action bar? I keep forgetting which keys I set to which boxes
Yes, just hit 10, do your class quest and get to the rogue guild
why and how do I fix this?
Umm, my German is a little rusty (and my vocabulary severely lacking) but if I'm reading that correctly it says it couldn't verify your game data and that you should make sure that there's not a problem with your internet?
And something about a VPN to Japan? Or from Japan?
Are you using a VPN?
No I dont have one because I dont want to pay
How often do the extreme trial mounts drop? From titan and gang. Considering if I wanna drop tombstones on the horsies
There are no finite numbers, but probably about 30% +/- 15%?
That's not too bad
It's not hard to farm them.
Hmmm i guess ill go for triple triad cards next
Is there a good free VPN
Can you give a more concrete translation of what the error says? Without understanding it, it's hard to help.
Yes
I think nordvpn is free, or has a free trial?
Oh, hm, maybe not.
I know there are free VPN services, but I don't use them so I can't actually name any. nordvpn is the only one I know of.
Ok : The Gamedata could not verify. That means normaly that there is a Problem with you Internet . If this Error stays , try using a VPN with a connection to Japan
same
Yeah. Sounds like you need to try using a VPN. Uh... shit I'm not sure who around here would have suggestions for free, reliable VPN services.
Yeah
Would recommend ask in #technology-discussion
Yeah. #technology-discussion might have some thoughts for you.
They might even have a workaround if you can't find a reliable VPN.
k
But I'd at least try resetting your router before going the VPN route.
Assuming you haven't done so already.
And assuming that's even an option.
by the way that here happens when I download it with the steam launcher :
The Update Data could not download.
Do you have the PC or the Steam version of the game?
Steam
sadly, there isn't much in the way of good free reputable VPNs
if you've found one, it's stealing your info, more than likely.
Is the chicken nugget summoner pet worthless when your alone in the overworld?
usual line, if it's free you're the product
yes. it's worthless pretty much all the time
Just to confirm. If I decide to switch grand companies. Will my rank in the original Gc maintain?
gg guess I'm not using it theb
yep
It gives you a little more personal defense, but more dps is generally better.
Yes.
Ty
the sole time one is legally allowed to use titan egi is UwU opener
inb4 EW removes Titan-egi entirely.
that is technically more useful
You 'job change' at 30! After the normal.lvl 30 job quest. If you have advanced your MSQ enough, you will get another lvl 30 job quest to get the soul stone
The MSQ required is lvl 20+ called sylph management @neat ermine @
so if im doing msq ill hit the soul stone quest
If you are level 30 but have not advanced your MSQ enough you won't be able to do the ninja job quest
level 24 quest rn
if your msq is lvl 24 you're fine
Just keep doing your thief quests
okay thank u i just dont want to miss anything
I checked, the MSQ required is lvl 20
guys, how can I fix my problem i cant download ffxiv, it says "unable to download patch files 30413"
Hey I bought the complete edition on the square enix store, I can only activate the game from the game's launcher and not steam right?
can you only do msq once?
You have to download the launcher from SE's site if you didn't buy it on Steam. The version in Steam is a separate license.
technically no, you can do the msq again with NG+ but it gives no rewards
Right thanks
The client is separate from the FT's client?
question, i first cleared e9s and e10s before reset yesterday, no chest
today i went to reclear e10s without doing e9s first
did i goof?
do i still get book?
no
I've heard that the FT launcher upgrades itself to the normal one when you login after purchasing the game, but I don't know for sure.
savage generally doesnt get lifted with the x.x patch
they might be nicer and lift it early, but generally its in the x.xx patch
i thought it's at 5.5?
Nope
normal mode will be 5.5
It was only removed early in 5.3 because of covid delays extending the tier duration
i see
savage mode is always later
like this whole expac they lifted it sooner than they had previously
since before shb, savage was unlocked with the next raid tier but they've been doing it in a minor patch. (tho last tier is exception to this since next raid tier would be like 6-7mos away)
also another question
one chest in savage yields two items?
!faq savageloot
Per tier:
First floor: (Belt/Earring/Necklace/Bracelet/Ring) x3
Second floor: (Head/Gloves/Boots) x2 + Weapon Tomestone + Glaze
Third floor: Head/Gloves/Boots + Legs + Twine + Solvent
Fourth floor: Weapon + Chest + Random single weapon + Mount + Minion
Loot Rules: Following each weekly reset, every player has a chance to obtain loot from the Savage encounters of the current raid tier. Upon clearing each floor, you will obtain 1 book specific to that fight (e.g. Book of Anamorphosis) and a chance to roll on the loot from that floor. Regardless of if you obtained loot from your weekly clear, you will be barred from rolling on loot from the same encounter until the next weekly reset.
Entering an encounter before clearing the previous floor(s) will relinquish all rewards from previously uncleared floors. (e.g. Entering E12S before clearing E9S for the week will relinquish loot from E9S, E10S, and E11S.) You will lose a chance to earn a book and your chance to roll on any loot that drops that week.
The number of players in your party that have cleared/skipped the encounter for the week will also affect the loot you will get after clearing the encounter.
0 players cleared: 2 chests
1-4 players cleared: 1 chest
5-8 players cleared: 0 chests
guys how to fix "unable to download patch files 30413" problem?
It becomes a 1 chest if you go back to do it this week and are the only one
Have you updated internet explorer
so if i go to a reclear 2 chest party it'll become 7/8 if i understand correctly
Yes so it becomes 1 chest
i was planning to do e9 later because i'm more confident with e10's mechanics

Permanent until you leave or swap jobs
what should I spend my nuts on after I got all the collectables?
Materia or gear to trade in for gc seals/use as glam
Or hold it
To use for augmenting cryptlurker
Hold for the next live letter in like 3 days
oh okay
Were expecting some new stuff
so as an archer my heavy shot has potency of 180 and only takes 2 sec to cast but my bloodletter ability has potency of 150 and takes 15sec to cast. Why would I even bother using bloodletter if it's weaker and takes longer to use? I feel like I'm missin gsomething...
!faq weaving
Heavy shot is a GCD and Bloodletter is an OGCD. You use Bloodletter in between Heavy Shots
Basically bloodletter isn't on your global recast timer
So you can use it while waiting for your next heavy shot
And that's a recast, not a cast. Both are instant cast, and you can use Bloodletter between your normal skills.
So its free damage
ohhhh ok
Also you get stuff later that resets the cooldown on Bloodletter, making it available more often
Its free real estate
Pretty much you use majority of off globals on cooldown, when you start using them is determined by the jobs opener
You would use them in between global cool downs
But only up to 2 off globals in between every 2 global cooldowns
ok that makes a lot more sense now, thanks guys
So that you're not delaying the next global cooldown
(less if ping is shit)
Weaving off globals is very intergal to the game as a core
Every job does it
so "weaving" means to use an ability while the other is on cool down?
it specifically refers to using an ogcd ability between 2 gcd abilities
Yes, its the act of using 1 or 2 off globals inbetween a global cooldown
Off globals are labelled abilities
Gcds are labelled weaponskills or spells
So you can tell at a glance
ok I think I undestand, thx
Refer to the graphic above for more
basically anything labelled "ability" is "free" damage
whereas weaponskills compete with each other
There's a vista for the sightseeing log in Azys Lla that I can't figure out how to actually get to. It's on a very thin ledge that I can't seem to dismount on. And it doesn't seem to have access from the ground in any way. And the ledge above that CAN be landed on seems to put me too far past if I fall or jump down. What am I missing?
What exactly is duty roulette: Leveling and Guildhests?
whats gnb CH numbers i should ahve
Hi guys! I'm in need of ff XIV steam version help. When I boot up the game it's lika I haven't played the game and start all fresh with not my previous character even there
what level does machanist start at?
can it be that my cloud saves have dissapeared?
Make sure you have the correct datacenter and world selected
30
can i find that on mogstation?
Roulettes are random duties. Leveling will put you in a random leveling dungeon. Guildheist for a random guildheist. There are daily bonuses for each roulette.
I think so. You can on lodestone at least
Oh yea, on the bottom of the the account status page on mogstation is a list of your characters
Red mage and samurai start at 50
thank you, it worked ๐ don't know why it did that
Do summoner pets have hp bars
no
It somehow deleted all my settings though. Am I able to retrieve it somehow? my hotbars etc are gone
Only if you backed them up with the cloud save thing from the character select screen
Or if you have a copy of the files somewhere. They're in Documents\My Games\FINAL FANTASY XIV - A Realm Reborn (at least for non-Steam, not sure if Steam version uses the same location)
its weird because i hjave my character saved but not the settings
Character is stored on the servers, not your computer. Settings are stored on the computer/console
If you mean the one in the cathedral, you can drop down onto the ledge above the one with the spot and then drop down again because it's at an angle. So just land on the bit of wall and drop down carefully
So technically I can have my pet aggro 5 mobs and my pet wont die?
It's completely untargetable now
Think of them more like a part of you, rather than NPCs. Just another weapon that you wield.
Gotcha
Do scholar shields stack if there's more than one scholar?
no
Womp womp
They don't stack with ast shields either

Whether or not that remains the same in 6.0 remains to be seen
So better to have one scholar and one whm or ast rather than two scholars
Always
Would be weird if that and bards musics could stack
True, I'm sure it also helps encourage party diversity
They'll be distinguishing healers between shield and pure healers from 6.0 onwards
Bare in mind its only the GCD shields that dont stack (adlo/succor with Asp.Helios/benefic)...off global shields will stack
Hey, newbie here ๐ what's the best (light) world to start on in EU?
A ny
Hi I have a quick question about eden raids
okay cool ty
!preferred light
So Iโve been doing the raids and I finished them all on the normal difficulty they have. I unlocked savage for both Edens gate and Edens verse but not Edenโs promise Any reason why?
Could start on Twintania otherwise it doesn't matter much
Its in the HIGH END DUTY FINDER tab
Not regular duty finder
Aka raid finder
They'll move out of high end eventually. Just not now
All current savage, extremes and all ultimates go in there
When they're not current they cycle out
Ahh okay thank you thank you
Is it generally a bad idea to level two jobs at once? I was doing conjurer up to level 32 and I got a bit bored with it, so I started archer, but I noticed it's slowed things down because now I have to level up my archer to 32 to continue the story.. I guess if I try to do two at once the storyw ill move ahead twice as slow since I need both to be up to date at any given time?
You can do what you want, jobs under your highest level get an exp bonus
How far is 10 yalms?
yeah I was hpoing the bonus would make it faster
10 yards
ty
Plus you can just straight dungeon spam or do palace of the dead for alt jobs
!faq altlvlguide
ah cool, I was doing a bunch of FATE to try to level faster
right
wel 1 yard and 1 meter is pretty different
No itโs 15
what is palace of the dead
Good for early xp
Tam Tara is 16
Basically a rogue like dungeon
It unlocks at 17 but you can enter at lv1
k, I'll check that out thanks
But the xp isn't great until after 15 due to the time
also FYI don't use duty finder to try and match with savage
if you want to give savage a shot you should use party finder instead
Thanks Iโll give it a go with my group
so I'm just returning to the game I can't login to the launcher I can log into mogstation fine and see my username but it will not let me log in no matter what I try I have reset password twice if anybody has any ideas p[lease let me know
what does it say when you try to login to the launcher
id or password incorrect
Are you putting the password in the "one time password" section?
no
!faq mogstation
are you sure youre logging into this website?
yeah im logged in when I click it

yeah I know I spent like 4 hours last night trying to figure it out
this is the only ff14 account youve ever had?
yeah I believe so
You're entering your user id and not you email?
Mogstation lets you use either, but the launcher only accepts the user id.
yes
if you changed your password recently then i would prob wait a bit for the system to update the password
otherwise contact support
Is it worth it to keep Swiftcast on your hotbar as RDM?
swiftcast is important for savage raiding on RDM
And should be very actively used
it allows you to keep uptime during mechanics that require movement
You can swiftcast another Thunder/aero
Instead of casting another jolt
And fish for more procs
You dont want to cast jolt if you can help it
@remote lintel I figure it out had to change password on mogstation not in launcher thnx for the help

How do I find empty plots for sale?
Be lucky
^
Easiest way to check is just go to the ward listings at the main city aetheryte and just look for a plot that instead of a name shows a cost
But it's really just comes down to it one is actually available
what does the song say when you complete a duty?
Can you be specific?
i'll try to find a video
Collection of clips from the ends of various duty with all but the BGM muted. The track is called A Victory Fanfare Reborn and is FFXIV's version of the classic Victory Fanfare. The track can be found in game and on the latest OST from Square Enix.
This video is part of a larger playlist, hear the rest of the game's music here:
https://www.yo...
here right at the begining
I'm pretty sure the word "Eorzea" is in there
other than that... hard to say, it kinda gets swallowed by the choir tongue
For relic weapons. Does PLD need to do every step twice? Once for sword and once for shield
no
Oh thank God
Thank you
Yeah I have no idea and some searching I get something between "gibberish, I was part of the choir and we just said blah blah" to like, "Eorzea, Libera Nova Maxima"
ยฏ\_(ใ)_/ยฏ
well the victory fanfare is kinda present in a lot of ff games
so whatever the distant worlds choire sings might not be what is sung ingame
Depends on what version of the fanfare they sing now doesn't it. I'm sure they'd mean the FFXIV version
So I saw the thing about the Ishgard Restoration celebration on the 5.5 site. Iโm still in HW and sadly missed out on the restoration. Does that mean Iโll never get to experience this part of the game?
Cool. So Iโll get to do the celebration and all eventually?
Yes
You wont see the firmament change from ruins to fully complete
But you can see get scrips and items from there
And what about the Nier raid stuff? Will that stuff be gone?
no
Just harder to find groups later on?
not really
not really, it's just the ShB alliance raid series
so it will be part of alliance raid roulette
The only things you can't do at any time are seasonal events (including mog tome events, etc), they cycle every year (pandemic times being wonky for it of course)
Well, and crossovers.
But unless it straight up tells you on the mogstation that it's a limited time event from X date to X date...
there's permanent crossover content though, like nier and mhw
Oh thatโs awesome. I just assumed the worst since I missed out on the one event (FFXV crossover) that I really would have loved
No, those are raid series crossovers. The events are like the XV and XIII ones
I want the Regalia so bad it hurts
the xv event is coming back
For real?
Iirc the regalia hasn't appeared in mogstation and the crossover was a while ago, so hopes are high that in the next xv crossover it's coming back. Crossover events repeat every 3-4 years afaik.
But who knows when
Yeah, there's very little you can fully miss out on.
crossover events appear whenever the companies say so
Probably just need to find the correct time for them to run it
Thatโs so good to hear they redo events! No fomo
Maybe after Endwalker and the weight of that production is off their shoulders
The only things you can never get are usually limited to: Sale Promotions such as Amazon or locally run ones (JPN KFC event, etc), and things from pre 2.0 content. Everything else tends to repeat (eventually) or wind up on the mogstation.
Sounds promising. Canโt wait! Thanks for the info all
are there third party programs that will give me alerts on things like, retainer venture has completed, or the map timer has reset, so i can remember to log back into the game and do them?

You can set an alarm clock for that
best starting class guys?
Depends what u wanna do?
all of them
Any
really?
Yeah there's no "best" one
ok thanks.
pick whatever looks cool
All start out very simple so
Why is the zonureskin map so expensive
what can you get out of it that is actually valuable
Calfleather comes from that?
Any glamor items u can make via crafting?
Ontop of a good amount of passive gil and other crafting mats
Yes, Zonureskin is the ONLY source of calfskin leather
And its rare
Tons
Hopefully I'll get to 60 and make some items. (Though it may be limiting)
Lv60 maps are dragonskin
How does glamour work?
Can you mog stuff while leveling or is it only end game content?
!faq glamour
'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.
anything you can wear can be glamour
So I can glamour my 23 archer? ๐
yes
when 5.5 comes out, will we be able to buy the item to upgrade our 520 weapon to 530? via nuts and coins
ah ok, to better incentivize people to farm diamond EX
How long does it take to go from 70 to 80 ?
how many hours a day do you play
:x
Maybe two hours per level? Faster if you're just doing story
well it's not smartass. the speed is proportional to how much time you put in
You'll get to 80 before the 5.0 story finishes.
Bad estimate
Its not that bad
People have capped in bojza in like 5-8hours +
Varing how populated it is
Massive time save if you get into castrum which is alot of xp
that's for a second character tho. maybe this is his first?
That's my first yes
What I really wanted to know was whether the exp to get was exponential
it's no use trying to "rush" to 80, the MSQ takes you there naturally
msq ?
is ff16 going to be a sequel for this game?
probably not
did they remove the mogstation ARR yukatas?
I don't see them at all anymore
Is there a list somewhere that contains all Beast tribes and thier rewards? (including previous expansions)
I want to check cosmetics like mount/dance/emotes...etc
Look at the armor section and then filter for the moonfire faire
@twilit jewel https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Beast_Tribe_Quests check under "notable rewards"
its under armor
thx
Does every plant from the mandragora set have this model?
Yes
ty!
do you guys know why it says my retainer is maximum level? shes level 56
They can't go higher than what level you have that job at yourself
when do I get mount fly
!faq flying
!faq flight
'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 Story Quest 'Divine Intervention' you get the 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/

Heyhey! Ive seen some nice glams with the nier automata raids and im curious how do I unlock them? Didnt got em for now, any Idea/Pointing towards?
Is there a way to turn off the sound an ability makes when it's still not ready?
unlock quest for the nier raids start with the quest "Word About Komra"
though keep in mind the nier raids are lvl 80 alliance raids, so you will need to be lvl 80 and have completed "Shadowbringers" to actually do them
Aaaah THERE it stars! Ever wondered why out there is a blue quest mark..and never checked it ๐คฆ
Thanks!
Where do I get mounts?
First mount
!faq mounts
'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.
Yes
ty
When doing the Soul without Life quest (farming Fates for luminous crystals) do I have to be using the job I'm doing the quest for or can I swap out to one with more killy-ness?
thanks
I take it the best way to get haunting memories of the dying is to run the HW alliance raids?
The most consistent, yes.
Do fates in around ala mhigo while you wait for the queue
hey there's absolutely no way to do performances as a non-bard job, is there?
Is there a Namazu minion other than The Golden Whisker?
thanks!
Nvm found it
There's also Attendee #777 and Wind-up Namazu
Who does more dmg between WAR and GBN ? I heard that WAR have attacks that do 50K dmg, is that true ?
At an optimal level all tanks are within a fraction of a percentage of each other
War does have an excellent burst phase though
Yeah itโs like a 2-4% difference between highest and lowest tank, depending on the percentile you look at.
Warrior has the highest individual damaging skill but Gunbreaker is slightly stronger overall

Warrior dps is cooldown dependant right
No
I mean warrior has the ability that makes them hit really hard for a short period of time
if I enter a level 15 dungeon that doesn't say it has item sync, and my ilevel is 500, my level will be reduced to 19. but will my ilevel stay 500?
No
Your item level gets reduced to the best possible stuff a level 19 can use
So probably like i19 or i20
But youโre still pretty powerful as pre-50 gear only has one secondary stat instead of two
oh... so the difference between dungeons with item sync icon and without is that without = best possible stuff for level and with = the indicated ilevel?
i see
Yep!
alright, thank you! ๐
do you have to join a guild on your own server or is it by datacenter?
your home world
so we haven't had any world/server maintenance in awhile....
...makes me nervous that they will take down the servers for maintenance longer than usual in the next maintenance cycle
Does wyrmwave trigger upon offensive spell casts?
have we ever had 24 or 48 hr maintenance periods?
Intended, not really
24 hr maint is for large patches
so in april then?
Pretty sure wyrmwave is casted whenever
maybe
Ye, 48 hours have happened, but that's been when things have been severly borked
While phoenix casts when you cast
wyrmwaves are based off spell casts yes
Ta
They're also splitting 5.5 into two patches, 5.5 (April) and 5.55 (~May). So that may keep the patch time down.
Trying to grasp the basics of summoner
48 hours was basically only when the datacenterโs physical location moved
Has summoner stuff
Yeah, i'm there
Read the demis
I was just unsure on wyrmwave
The memory drop rate on the fates is pretty poor isn't it?
its rng
does anyone know approximately when the next event is going to start? based on previous years' events
Feels around 25% from my experience
I've done about 5 so far and no drops so it doesn't seem good
Hatching tide (Easter) in probably late April-early may
Trying to determine if it's worth the time investment soloing these fates
queue for the raids while you do fates
Is MT/OT an important distinction in 14? In some other MMOs, both tanks have mostly equal boss time with switches, is that the case here, or is the OT basically an additional DPS who occasionally picks up some adds?
Hey guys... I just got an Anima weapon in heavensward . Is it ok if I make it a glamour or will I need it for the next series of weapons?
mt/ot isn't really a thing more so the tanks are co-tanks
Will I need to keep the Awoken version to get the lux weapons?
other than swapping who "main tanks" a boss what you described is pretty on point
you can't put the relic into the glamour dresser
but you can glam with it using prisms
and its needed for the lux yes
In recruit a friend can me and my friend recruit each other? And get the gold feather ?
you'll be able to buy replicas of the weapons later
afaik one person becomes teh recruit and one person becoems recruited and you can't do each other that way
is there a way to hide all UI?
scroll lock by default on keyboard hides ui
ty
great. I was concerned maining pala that I would end up watching DRKs actually tanking while I just stood around as a support tank. So there are things like 'taunt swap' mechanics in savage+ content?
if you're looking to take screenshots use the /gpose function to enter the in-built photo mode
@onyx anchor
yes tank-swaps are a thing in this game, not super prevalent in normal mode content but in more difficult stuff its there. paladin has a lot of supporting tools but doesn't have built-in sustain in its standard gcd rotation so it sees a lot more play as an "off-tank"
this doesn't mean you can't tank a boss with it but the real distinction between main/off is just who pulls the boss/ is controlling the boss at any given time
its not really a big enough of a problem overall
I have heard that you can during the free 30 days before you pay for a sub
Awesome! Thanks a lot!
you can recruit each other
provided you've not paid for a sub yet
why sometimes chocobo runs faster and sometimes slower?
because you have the first movement speed for one zone but not the other
you can see which zones you've earned movement speed for in the mount speed menu, under the travel menu
do expansion classes like mch/ast/rdm/etc level up faster than normal or are we just expected to level them to the proper level
all classes level at the same speed
damn that sucks ok
They start at a higher level and can have the armoury bonus if you have a higher level job, but otherwise level at the same rate.
can achievement certificates only be used for what jonathas sells? or can i spend them elsewhere for different rewards?
only for jonathas' shop
cool ty
Which one of these is The Twinning?
Twinning is a Duty/Dungeon
They mean the unlock point
I mean, the quest line to start The Twinning
does barding have any effect other than looks?
It's one of the Blue !, the actual entrance is by Dossal Gate
Just appearance
it's the one in front of the aetheryte
Bardings are customization items players can give to their chocobo companion. While bardings make your chocobos different cosmetically, they do not give any stat or speed bonuses.
answered my own question nws
