do you have the switch controller option ticked in the controller settings
on steam
and the generic one too
no
close the game and try that
ok
when you launch the game do you just launch it from the tray or in big picture mode?
i dont use big picture mode
still same problem
although this time it looks like my hotbars are changed to a controller layout
I'm in the calibration and it says tilt the left analog stick up and when i do nothing registers
system config in the game right?
no
i was going to ask if the controller worked fine in big picture mode
Are these still up to date aside from not including ranks 9+?
probably not
I'm goin to try a system restart
Is the only way to get to Thanalan without teleporting from La Noscea through Limsa Lominsa's ferry?
easiest way to level a solo fc is to run dungeons (either unsync or experts) and turn in the gear for seals
so if I hold left+right triggers and move the camera when right stick, i can move.. basically. is that normal?
whats the current endgame item level?
no?
535 weapon
does left stick not work
left stick also moves the camera, but only right stick changes the direction the character is moving in while LT+RT is held down
Your Allegory tomestone can be used to buy 490 stuff and Revelation buys 520
i havent tried the thing with the right stick but thats how the legacy control scheme works
the camera turns when you turn your character
to get directly to vesper bay, you have the ferry or the aetheryte tickets that you should receive during main scenario quest. though the tickets are limited but they give you more than enough.
outside of teleporting to horizon that is
steam recognizes the controller right?
yes
I just changed the settings to always use steam overlay
and big picture mode when using a steam recognized controller
hey! it's working!
it seems to be working perfectly actually 😮
aetheryte tickets?
!item Vesper Bay Aetheryte Ticket
does fantasia allow me to change race as well?
yes it does
yea idk what those tickets are, sorry
@onyx anchor you get around 30 of these from the msq. first set is given from the 17 msq "scions of the seventh dawn", 2nd from 24 msq "back from the woods" and 3rd from 46 msq "the black wolf's ultimatum"
if you've done any of those then you should check your inventory. they're probably there.
msq = main story quest?
yes
nope, haven't done them
the other way of getting to thanalan without teleporting is making use of the airship between the major cities
i have 18 gils :p
welp
i have come to the conclusion that fate hates me
since good chance there's random mob drops that aren't worth selling via marketboard anyway
or if there's any side quests available in the la noscea zones that you haven't done yet
can do those, since they should give gil
what's the "Shop Selling Price" when u check an item's stats
Is it still impossible to guarantee +2 with Pick Clean on the 3* lvl 80 nodes?
shop selling price is how much you can buy that item from an npc vendor for
My friend purchase the A Realm Reborn story skip so that he could keep going with the ninja quests. He didn't get anything in his delivery moogle and nothing in his inventory. When should the item get to him?

mogstation items can take a bit to be delivered. can hit the 'request delivery' button at the mail moogle to try and speed it up but ultimately just have to be patient
is gil capped to 300k in the trial?
yes
#doh-dol-lounge has bis suggestions in pinned
has several sets with their own recommended rotations
I just want to be able to craft aesthete gears for my Miner
there are possible budget builds but crafting aesthetes is very much endgame crafting so be prepared ¯_(ツ)_/¯
hi i was wondering if anyone on would be able to answer some questions i had in a chat?
Just ask them here, it's what the channel's for
yea but its a lot and dont wanna fill the chat
Don't worry bout it
well Im fan of the mmorpg genre and was wondering if this game would have what i look for, mainly good endgame content and a support class viable for it but not extremely difficult to pick up that isnt a healer
Well there's no pure support class. But several DPS classes do have support abilities
Endgame primarily consists of raiding
PvP exists, but it's not as big as say WoW
The most "support" based class would probably be Dancer which is still a DPS
so theres no buff debuff style class? i dont mind if it mixes dps or heales a little but being a designated healer is so boring to me
all classes have buffs and debuffs
there is no mixed class
its tank healer or dps
also healing in this game is 80% dpsing so
healers in ff XIV are more like dps who can heal fwiw
if you play a healer and all you do is heal then youre doing real bad
Like, all 3 healers’ in this game focus on maximising their dmg outputs
and heal only when must
hm
Also, you can play every class with one character
So if you decide you don't like healer, then you can start leveling something else and swap between at the press of a button
healer or whatever*
If you just want to craft the top end mining gear you absolutely should not and instead just purchase it
Because the ability to craft the top end mining gear is basically "level and fully gear every crafting class besides cooking, and you really might as well do that too at that point"
!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.
your character level doesnt do anything except let you unlock classes
what mount is this?
grani from the shb collectors edition
how does limit break work?
it changes depending on how many bars you have
thx
my friend bought the game, reinstalled through the non free trial download link for the game and she still doesnt have the game, it still says free trial. any ideas?
Assuming she's on pc, did she apply the code to her mogstation account?
I love how Shadowbringers also introduced solo dungeons with NPC party. That's amazingly good! However, I went out to fix breakfast and when I was back I was outside (I assume there's a timer for AFK?). It wasn't the main timer cause I had 67min left. I was gone for maybe 10-15?
You are automatically kicked from a dungeon if you're afk for 10minutes or more
I see. That's great for playing with others, but the solo one could've removed that limit. Oh well, it's one of those "First World Problems" but still 😛
I c
I'm still in hw content, is it still possible to find a group for Eureka?
Nope
144-man instance seems ridiculous
Is there any way to still complete the stormblood relics then?
you can still complete the relics
what wynne is saying there is that because you're still in hw content you can't actually do eureka yet
and teh instances are only 72 people
Yeah I misread
with BA being 56
there are no queue times for instancing into a eureka zone
Oh, I didn't understand how it works then
Is there a way to turn off the "not ready yet" sound effect an ability makes? When you try using it and it's still on cooldown.
It basically opens and closes instance as time goes on and people join
Back when it was current content there was usually a couple instances active for the latest zones
Nowadays usually just 1-2 instances per zone are open for the most part
Hello can I look for people to queue here or i'm in the wrong channel?
#603040858782040095 but you are probably faster with a pf ingame

I just now noticed that there are company ranks above captain now. Are we currently able to access those ranks?
any way to reduce queue times?
Play a tank or healer
That page has been present since at least 2.x when I started playing. Captain is the current highest rank and the last that's going to be available for the foreseeable future.
I could have sworn there was a time where there were only a couple ranks higher than captain.
I find it interesting that Marshal is a rank you can get. Isn't a marshal higher than a general in most countries?
Not the United States, of course, due to the fact that general was the highest rank that Washington achieved.
Type /actionerror off into chat and hit enter
Wow, that's exactly what I wanted, thanks!
the grand company ranks have been there since 2.0, but SE has said they don't want to add new ranks willynilly
where would one go to find a static or linkshell for raiding/progging for crystal?
Marshal isn't currently obtainable
so they only add them when they have something else to add with it
I know.
i.e squadrons for 1st LT and the weapons with captain
My point is that once it is, we'll basically be of a higher rank than Pipin, if we were in the Flames, for example.
Where is the matched party option for POTD please? 🙂
Talk to the guy, select queue, and he gives you the option for fixed or matched
Try communityfindrr, #recruitment-crystal on this server, r/ffxivrecruitmwnt, etc
ty~
thank you!
!fr
wait does fashion report not reset on tuesday?
oh
They've pretty much abandoned the system so it's possible that will never happen
we got captain weapons in 4.4
Is it faster to just get IL 510 with exarch's and grind emerald weapon? I've been farming Matoya's Derilect to get Cryptlurker gear and the 450 cap is killing me
like i said, they only want to add ranks when they have something to add with it
4.4 wasn't that long ago, I could see them revisiting it in the future. I mean they did give us more free company ranks, didn't they?
Kinda depends on what your goal is. If you're not going into Savage, you can just gradually get Eden tokens and spend tomes gradually
they'll add more ranks when they have something to add along side it, that's the long and short of it
5.5 is in a couple weeks and there will be more sources of 520 gear
when that happens who knows
Oh right diamond weapon soon right
getting cryptlurker now to be ready once it can be augmented is not so bad of an idea tbh
derp, I mean exarchic
The new Alliance raid will drop 520 armor, diamond will drop a 525 weapon, and exarchic will be augmentable to 520
Will cryptlurker outstat most gear when we can augment it before 6.0?
Yes, it will be 530
But iirc the weapon will still require Savage raiding to augment
for a duration yes
Only the armor augment items will be acquired in easy content
weapon is added to alliance tokens around the same time savage unlocks
Alright it seems that it's still very worth getting the cryptlurker set then
even without savage you can augment it with the next alliance raid
which is not too far away
Yeah there's no reason not to cap the 450 a week, you can do it very quickly with a hunt train
Hunt train?
lots of people doing hunts very fast
Oh man I keep hearing things I never knew lol
because they are lots of people
I gotta look into hunts too
might have to do some catching up in terms of quests if you never unlocked them
A hunt train is a large group of people doing every A hunt in the expansion, all of which are scouted out beforehand
Is it hard to get into one of those groups?
nah
no
They're not exclusive at all
More the merrier type content
Oh sick alright i'll try to unlock the content then
yeah, since it's faster for everyone the more people you have there really is no issue with getting an invite
Is it any expansion or just Shb
You can get notifications from it when one is starting and just pop to whatever server with world visit
hmm and what rewards are there? alliance seals?
Shb is the most popular expansion because it gives the current tomestone/nuts
ARR hunts generally die way too fast to really wait for a train
But there's occasional centurio trains
ShB hunts net you a currency called nuts
SB hunts net you centurio seals
both of which can be exchanged for various things
I see, I shall join then
That discord is useful if you want seals though, because they also notify of older expansion s rank spawns
It's only for primal so I joined faloop
I joined the server thanks guys
Amazing, ty
But one question tho
I personally love muting server cuz I hate the notifications from every single message, do they ping at hunts or just type
they ping
so if you want to be notified for shb trains, you grab the appropriate role
Hmmm I'm considering making an alt in a na server due to my schedule, mainly to raid. What do you guys think, would it be suicidal? I'd like some guidance before going yolo on this since leveling and gearing a chara takes a good amount of time ;-;
people with alt(s) for raid typically buy story skip and job skip afaik
Also remember to consider how your ping will be like to a na server
since it sounds like you arent in 1 atm
List of IP Addresses for each Datacenter
North America
Aether: 204.2.229.9
Primal: 204.2.229.10
Crystal: 204.2.229.11
Europe
Chaos: 195.82.50.9
Light: 195.82.50.10
Japan
Mana: 124.150.157.156
Gaia: 124.150.157.157
Elemental: 124.150.157.158
how do I ping the IP?
Windows: Open Command Prompt and type ping *insert IP Address here*
Mac: Open Terminal and type ping *insert IP Address here*
Yeah yeah I know this, but last time I tried it went well
But never got to the level of raiding
If you buy boost and story skip you can hit raid level pretty quickly
(job skips and stuff no, wast of money for me XD)
about 20-30 hours if you skip cutscenes
From start to current tier raiding probably takes a good 1 week of no-lifeing
i don't have a life currently, so that should be fine
MSQ + skips should net you enough gil for a full crafted set, good entry into the tier
So gearing shouldnt be an issue
servers for raiding?
primal and aether are both pretty good for raiding
I raid on Aether and the community is fairly large, although Im sure you wouldnt have an issue on primal either
throw a dart, primal and aether are pretty equal in savage clears from the last luckybancho census
Mmmmh which will be a good way to test my ping tho? A low lvl dung will do the trick or nah? I did some in the past but it was also pretty late in na. (I'm lost with this topic)
That bot above has instruction at the end
I raid with someone from Brazil and he is pretty fine, so I was going to give it a shoot as well
ping 184.107.107.176 and see what your ping is
Mh mh OK, I'll do that
Test ping multiple multiple times during your would-be raid time
And for the hunts side?
Just look up hunt discords for your would-be Data center
Mmmmmh OK, I'll go over all again
hunt is sth people even do at work so shouldnt be that hard to find a group
do I need to unlock the dungeons or complete them?
you need to complete them
Urianger in the waking sands has the quests
the initial unlock for the chain is with minfilia in the waking sands
who then directs you to urianger
but the ones with the quests are papalymo, thancred, and y'shtola
need to do ifrit hard to unlock garuda to unlock titan

(thanks for the help guy, I really appreciate!)
what are "cassie earrings" and why are they so expensive?
i see that you can get them from a fate but, 100mil? wha
They help with eureka grind
how so?
yes they help but no, not worth 100 mil
they are more of a flex thing at this point imo
yeah same with the belt thing
also they're 100mil because while they drop from the fate, they are a rare drop
Does HoH also have a middle ground like Potd lv 50
So I can continue from 21?
ye
What's the max
whats the best way to level a new job?
Do I open up a PF for 1-20 or 1-21
@wispy peak ^
ty
Okay so I opened a PF for floor 1-20
Should I mention anything else? Like first time and stuff
does limit break count as a weapon skill?
is there a way to leave a PVP team?
my friends made one back then and I want to leave
no
it's also not affected by any kind of buff
ahh
it's just flat potency
Do I have to finish floor 30 to be able to do 21? In HoH
Fairly sure not.
This dood in my PF said he had to do 30 floors and finish a quest before he could do 21
You cannot start a new save file on floor 21 until you have done the quest that opens up once you beat floor 30
after you finish floor 20, you'll have a save file that is currently on floor 21, if that helps
After you beat 30 for the first time, you get a
outside to unlock 21-30 as a starting point
For samurai do you guys place your abilities that correspond to each stamp?

I'm on the free trial atm and I wanna know when I eventually buy the game
I have them kinda branch apart for controller
I have them ordered by combo steps on pc
So all 2nd skills in any combo together and so on
Hmm cuz I'm debating on doing it in a controller or keyboard and mouse
from what I hear controller works great in this game
not my style personally though
I split my controller hotbars between single target and aoe
Only issue is typing and maybe some duty actions
And far as summoner. For multiple targets. Do you use that one ability that spreads bio and miasma to all targets? (Forgot the name) then fester?
Yes, always spread your dots
Yes
Until you get the aoe aether low ogcd
And use garuda egi
But always spread your dots
Can't that fire pet do aoe as well? And which should I choose?
Cuz they both donaie
Aoe
Garuda is all aoe
Ifrit for single target, garuda for aoe
Ifrit only has aoe on one of his egi assaults
Titan is useless, sadly
I think technically his enkindle is aoe, I don't fully remember
Titan is your potd solo companion
Outside of some solo content maybe
It is
And when I reach 60 deathflare is essential gimmick for the summoner? Cuz I know there's a phoenix pet as well
Phoenix summon is lvl 80
Dont sweat it now
And yes, deathflare is your finisher for dradwyrm trance
It is essential
The job quests do a pretty good job of introducing your skills as you need them
So summoner just get rid of summon 2 general? I'm doing the class quest atm
Pretty much
it does have its uses in solo content as Kat said
but for the most part just don't use it
even if titan egi looks cute
Yeah but in such a situation you'll keep it out so no point keeping it on your hotbaes
NUGGET ADVENTURES IN THE CRYPT
btw, remember to spend your aetherflow in aoe situations too
think we didn't mention that
I did
Bit you don't get that til hw
yeah 52 I think
Should I combine Painflare and Tri-disaster?
you generally combine tri disaster and bane
tri disaster to dot one enemy fast and then bane to spread it
in aoe at least
Hey, I just corrupted my ffxiv install
what do i need to backup
other than the stuff in documents/mygames
General rule of thumb is to maximize the use of tri disaster because it's obviously faster than hardcast dots. Remember that entering dreadwyrm trance resets the tri disaster cd
Not always possible to do it that way but still
Your character configs, can't remember where they are ask Google sensei
fair
So once The cooldown resets use it again? Or should I wait
Maybe your character design if you want to keep that
Again ask Google where that actually is
try to use tri disaster when your dots are about to run out
it's more important to have it on cd when you enter dreadwyrm trance
Character configs is stuff like your hotbars and hud
any way of deleting the chat from the game entirely
right-click it and one of the options should be to hide it
I'm saving all the coffers I get for single lvl 70 IL 385 stuff to open with another character, but would it matter which? Any specific job that has a harder time to get weapons and such or is it all equal and a useless thing to even try for?
for level 70 equipment all jobs have the easy option of scaevan gear with tomestones of poetics
When do u get relic armor?
Each level cap (50,60,70,80) has their own job sets for the level caps the job was around for.
Okay
So Summoner would have level 50/60/70/80 job gear, while samurai would only have 70/80
So saving these coffers is basically useless?
Although if I am lacking tomestones at the time it could come in handy. Very well, into the offer basket they go!
Is ley lines pointless in dungeons?
How to take HoH weapons outside
during trash pulls you might not get your moneys worth, depending on how fast it goes
general rule of thumb, if a CD is used ASAP when you start a dungeon, you'll probably have it back for the first boss
I'm not 100% sure but I think you need +10 aetherpool
and must have cleared floor 30
yes
Well, it's 10/10 3 times
Ehh
If use the auto-wealk, does it count as AFK?
If I just let it run straight forward I mean.

how do I get rid of my sprout?
you can turn it off manually with a chat command, but I would not recommend that
It goes away automatically once you reach the start of Shadowbringers and have at least 100 hours of playtime
eh... maybe more hours I'm not sure
Okay so I need 10 empyrean aetherpool grip
Do I trade just 10/10 for 10 grips or 1 grip
But that doesn't matter much, it's usually easy to exceed
chat command to turn it off would be \nastatus off
You'll usually get a bit more leniency for screwing up new mechanics if you keep the sprout
@vital ruin 10/10 is one grip
So basically I need 100/100 for 1 emperean weapon?
yep
Lmao fuck this
It's worse than Potd
HoH lvl 30 floor boss gives a guaranteed weapon upgrade ,PoTD is harder to upgrade if ur grinding the 51 - 60
ya
Bruh 100/100 for the glam that too only 1 weapon
Didn’t recognise this discord for a bit
Also where do I get the emperors stuff in mor Dhona?
By the time I get to shadowbrkngers I'm gonna hhlave way more than 100 hours lol
the requirement is just there for people who buy a story skip
it's intended to ensure you actually play some dungeons and whatnot

Can someone help me with a Boss dungeon pls? I need 2 tanks and 4 dps pls also one healer pls, i need this dungeon to finish the story and i cant find ppl for like half a hour now
if you're not on the trial, you can put a party in Party Finder and some people will usually join
which one specifically?
Also don't forget to enable all languages in you duty finder
is it off peak time where you are?
I dont know which one it is in English cause buts the one where you have to defend Ishgard
sound like Steps of Faith
I found a group, still thanks guys
Im german yeah :/
Cause enabling English will shorten your queue time a lot in Aether lol
Since most of it's population speak English
is it worth switching to a tank/healer to complete story?
I keep getting stuck in hour dps queues
Wym
It be like that sometimes
Well if you want to tank/heal nothing can stop you
We sure have shorter queue than DPS
I did that and i could queue faster yea
Hey guys, I`m new to the game and I have a few question please. 1. is the party finder tool usable from a free trial account? 2. Can a Gladiator become a Warrior? How many crafting jobs can you have? Thank you guys.
- No
- No, Gladiator exclusively turns into Paladin. But you can start with the Marauder class in Limsa Lominsa which then turns into Warrior.
- You can have all of them just like you can have all combat jobs.
Really no need to ever make more than 1 character unless you're into rp or just like many characters 😄
You can play as multiple combat jobs on the same character, so starting as a Gladiator won't prevent you from picking up Marauder/Warrior later
That's not the question
The question was "can a gladiator become a Warrior?" the answer is simple, no
Yes but not Gladiator
it's not the case in most games, so it needed to be clarified. So he doesn't come away thinking he can't ever pick up Warrior because of his starting class
kinda unnecessary to argue about this
The game tells you that you can switch later anyway so
ok thank guys. So how to do dungeons if a free account cannot use the chat, use party finder or create groups?
oh thats good
you just can't queue for them together with some friends for example
same kind of thing of party finder I guess
no, it's different
party finder is a tool to put up a posting for doing a certain kind of activity
im lvl 15 now, where do I get the warrior job?
while duty finder just puts you together with any kind of people
level 30
ok
In Limsa Lominsa but you can't get there for now since you started as a Gladiator
continue the story until you unlock airship travel
then you can start the quest there
and you need to be level 30 as a Marauder for Warrior
I was about to say that
fair
but to start as marauder I also need to unlock airship trevel yea?
The quest is technically available for you, you just can't get to where it is
That needs airship travel, yes
well guys, you have been very helpful. Thank you very much 😄
Different classes just start in different cities
so some content is semi-locked until they can access other cities
I might stop paying blizzard for WoW classic and start paying for FFXIV. It really looks a good game

do you get weapon glamour?
yes, they can be glamoured just like any other equipment slot
though dyeable weapons are much less common
Cleave, one of the discord moderators
yep
Does anyone know where in the Crystarium in Norvrandt does the Beast Tribe Quests starts?
Which one?
The Faerie one.
The pixie one starts near the pendants
(X:13.1, Y:15.3)
It's to the side of where the pendant aetheryte is
do people usually farm 21-30 in HoH?
yes
how does black mage function at the 70s and 80s?
!faq blmleveling
basically the same as 60, but you use Despair at the end of fire rotation, and you get foul/xenoglossy to use in your rotation
AoE gets completely overhauled at 68 where you get a trait that lets you use flare twice in a row with umbral hearts, making Fire 2 no longer worthwhile
thank you
Hello. Brand new player, decided to give this a try and made a trial account. Is the trial really supposed to be 40 gigs to download ?
yes
Yes
Because it covers all level 1-60 contents
And all other items that can be seen by players, even in starting towns
I see. Thank you
This includes all level 60+ armors, weapons, mounts, minions, etc
Yep, the trial contains all the content avilable up to 60, with mainly social limitations
Also I see that the complete edition is on sale atm. Any idea how long it's going to stay that way ?
They've done it here and there lately, so I wouldn't be shocked to see sales pop up until closer to Fall when Endwalker is released.
pretty sure the sale ends today, IIRC
No, the GC stuff is always in the home city. Can always switch GC's temporarily just for something different. You keep the squadron levels, but have to re-rank. It's quick though since you have access to more ways to earn seals
I'm storm captain
If I switch over to flames
Where do i start from
I've like 85k GC seals on me
you start as a private again
your rank and storm seals are "frozen" and you start back as a private
Those seals will remain seperate so you don't lose them, but you start as a private with 0 Seals.
and you do not take your seals with you
Waaait whaat
if you hypothetically level up to captain with flames, then go back to storm, you'll get back your old rank + seals back from when you left
So like right now I have... 80,000ish Storm Seals, 50,000 Serpent Seal, and like 4,000 Flame Seals (Current GC)
and vice versa
Dammit man I just can't stand limsa anymore
You can only switch every... 2 weeks? And it costs 50,000 gil after the first switch.
Do I just transfer
Yep, just talk to the flames dudes nearish the aethryte in Ul'Dah
I've a lot of gears on me that I can trade for seals
Also should I transfer to flames or serpent
You'll need to rank up a few times to get to be able to do turn ins
Either or, they're all the same really
Do you like Ul'Dah or Gridania better, that's the only difference.
they are both pretty equal, though flames are probably a tiny bit closer
Like the gc is just next to main aetherite
Both about the same, GC HQ is right by the main aethrytes. Only Maelstrom is farther from the main
Bruh I'm on PS4
The load time is utter garbage when I tp to limsa
I'll switch to flames then
What rank can I turn in stuffs for gc seals
... 2nd Sgt, I THINK. So if you do your hunts and a few roulettes, be there in no time
And yeah I hadn't considered load times. Don't have that issue
What about my PVP rank
Does that rest alsi
frozen too
Fucking keyboard
with the lodestone updating about the ps5 beta stuff im assuming the file isnt on there to download like pre-load style till a closer timeframe
I haven't checked the PS store so I can't say
It's not so much a reversion as it is a seperate tracker, Tahmeed. So your "Storm" rank freezes and won't go up/down. But you'll start at the basic Flames/Serpent rank

Ahh I see
Maybe I'll rank up to 50 in pvp
Then just go for flames
Or maybe I'll just switch tomorrow
Im done with limsa
Pls tell me I don't have to do that 5 dungeon with squadron for captain
Can some ppl pls join the crystal tower raid?
Queue running a bit long Alth?
sadly you do edit: incorrect, see below
actually nah, IIRC
you might just need to do the flagged missions again, but you don't need to run more squadrons dungeons
hmm, just the wording I saw
Source: I swapped to all 3 GCs a couple months ago to get the minions/bardings for collection purposes
in that case then it's a lot less tedious
Does anyone remember how many planks of lumber there were for "The Ladder" MSQ?
Whew so only flagged missions thank god
If I only level via deep dungeons
Does the squadron battle manuals have any purpose
Nope
Eventually, yes. Deep Dungeons only carry you so far. So doing the MSQ/etc, you might as well have an exp boost running
Which portal is the beast tribe? I forgot (found it)
how do i find people faster for Raids in Dungeon Queue?
Anyone able to help me with the "Life, Materia and everything" quest?
im really confused about it
I have to deliver a materia enhanced dagger but I dont have the dagger, and I dont know how to meld it
Do I have to go all the way back to my city to meld it?
No it’s been melded for you
Ohhh, I see
It’s a key item
How do i go around melding while im already at this?
!faq melding
How do I unlock melding?
Complete Forging the Spirit (materia extract/npc melding) and Waking the Spirit (player melding) in Central Thanalan.
How can I get my gear melded?
To meld visible Materia slots a NPC melder in any major city will do (marked with a Blue Materia icon on the map). To overmeld gear you'll need to request another player to meld your gear or to do it yourself.
Why can't I meld this Materia to my stuff?
Every Tier of Materia has a minimum item level requirement that gear must meet to allow melding of that Tier. Tier 6 Materia requires an item level of 290 while Tiers 7 and 8 require an item level of 420.
Why is my meld giving +0 stats?
Every item has a maximum amount of stats that can be given through melding and the natural stats found on the gear. This can be seen at the bottom of the Materia Melding menu, as seen in the picture below.
The secondary stat with a higher number is already at the cap and cannot be further melded.
One of the NPCs by mutamix has the quests
Yeah but it says I need the job disciple of the hand
@ivory night oops wrong reply, but basically make sure to have “join in progress” enabled
You do if you want to meld stuff yourself.
Okay, where do i enable that? 😮
What is that job? Ive never seen it before
In your duty finder window select the ⚙️ icon on the top left to open up the duty finder settings window.
Inside that window select the setting undersized party before confirming and entering the instances of your choice. NOTE: UNSYNC-ING AN INSTANCE WILL FORFEIT ALL OF YOUR EXP AND COMPLETION REWARDS. Poetics from a first time completion bonus and loots chests remain the same and will not be lost. You may not queue for daily roulettes using this method.
@ivory night follow this, but with the “Join Party in Progress” button instead
Thanks
Sometimes in alliance raids I can't LB why is that
Does someone else usually LB right after that? Likely means someone already clicked it to start the cast and it just hasn't gone off yet.
most likely because someone else was faster?
No one used LB
then the bar wasn't filled
2 bars were filled
Are you a caster?
Ye
You need to confirm placement of the LB as it’s ground targeted
Ohhhh
With left-click/x (controller)
Did not know that holy shit
Yeah basically it goes: Melee DPS - Single Target massive Damage, Ranged Physical - Straight line AE Damage, Caster - Big ass circle hitting multiple mobs, Healers - Heal/raise depending on bars, Tanks - I have NFC what my LB does because I never get to use it 😦
So who should LB to be most efficient depends on the situation.
ye tank lb has very specific timing
Ya
that alex fight is one
and also 1 in msq will require that too but eh, you’ll know when you get to it
I think I used it one during Eden 4, but everyone else was dead and I figured WTF, might as well. Wound up killing the boss.
Gg
ye last resort is also a specific timing xD
If you're a red mage, you can also use your LB3 to troll the hell out of the raid by making them utterly unable to see any ground mechanics due to their EYES BLEEDING
Hey guys uhm im now in a queue for a raid for half a hour and then i saw im queued as germans, can i change that to get faster people for raids or does this affect nothing?
You can expand your language settings, yes, and it will match you with more people, iirc
it should yeah
just enable all languages
Where do i do that?
you change it in your search info window, can right click on your name in the party tab of the social window
or top left of duty finder window, there’s a cog, click on it then choose all languages
Thanks guys, i hope i find people faster now
Also depends on your class, server/data center, and time you're on. When I was leveling DPS a half hour queue at off-peak times wasn't really unusual.
For most datacenters it is strongly recommended that you select all of the languages endemic to the region. For NA, that means English. EU is English, French, and German. JP is Japanese and English.
EU is English, French, and German
To be fair for EU it's not that important to have French or German or Dutch
Most people have English selected anyway

How do I make this repeat? https://i.imgur.com/kHf8XKe.png
Yeah, but you can't chain two macros together
So if you have a crafting macro that requires to separate buttons to press, those need to be pressed separately
In that instance you can add
/echo Macro #1 complete <se.14> after
So that a sound will play what that macro is done
Just got Aetherite Tickets. Any reason to save these?
1 free teleport. I assume it's meh?
Not really meh
it does save a decent amount of gil
Yeah, it does save gil indeed
no reason to save them though
The highest I've seen is 999 gil. Is that truly a lot? Maybe I've just not gotten to the part where gil is scarce?
you'll always be porting to somewhere, might as well save money now
no, not a lot individually
it does add up though because as i said, you always port somewhere
While leveling it's a nice moneysave
Also nice when doing certain questlines and you're doing the Burly Bastard Back-n-forth bouncing around.
yea i use em all the time
Yes ofc, but I have over 2M gil. I'm just curious if there's somewhere where ONLY tickets are used of if it's merely just a money save. If the latter as you say, then I might as well just use them up to not have the prompt every time.
Right practicing rotations, should i do it in dungeons or on a dummy at first?
I always want to slap NPCs when they make me do that
do I look like I'm made of gil?
do you pay my teleport fees?
Anyway... use the tickets
Also depends on what you're saving Gil for. So when saving up for a house, every little bit adds up overtime.
do u pay my sub 
Ah, now that does make sense. I assume houses can be real expensive.
Aetheryte tickets are easily farmed so just use them
I have a question with DoH/DoL gear progression: Will I make do with just merchant-bought gear until pre-level 80?
For the most part, yes, but that's if you include gear bought with scrips. There are however some awkward levels where accessories aren't available from vendors and you'll have to either make them yourself or buy them from the MB.
How long is a product code valid after you get the key?
I ran 70-80 purely by augumented handking gear just fine
Aldgoat Horn can be found gathering? Or only killing mobs? I need 5 HQ but market has no one
You have to kill goats for them. There is no other gathering option besides a combat retainer
how much is the probability of getting them HQ ?
Can you specifiy levels where it's preferable to use scrip gear? Is it similar to tomestone gear progression to combat classes?
But like Aril said, there's some awkward points you might struggle, especially going the leap from 80 to endgame crafting gear where you have two options, White scrip gear which cannot be melded at base, but is a decent enough filler until/if you wanna get aeethehe
Or just get materials/buy aestethe out the box once you hit 80
But that can get expensive
You can start earning scrips at 50 when you unlock collectibles, but the gear doesn't become available until the 60s iirc. At 70 definitely get the hand/land king gear like 1ndiegamer mentioned.
Also, big reccomnendation, do your crafting quests. They unlock really important abilities eventually, especially one called manipulation
For thunder (aoe version) should I use that when the thunder proc begins?
Okay, I haven't really started farming for scrips. Is it easier to farm them from crafting collectibles than gathering?
You'll have plenty of sources to get scrips from
You'll have to do both. Gathering scrip are separate from crafting scrip.
Doh, you're right they're different. So crafting collectibles is pretty similar to Ishgardian Restoration right? How about for gathering? Do you have a resource on how to farm scrips for gatherers?
afaik you should be using Thunder 2/4 every time it procs. I'm no BLM master though. Maybe hold off on it for a gcd or two if there's something more important to cast first.
Gathering collectibles comes from certain nodes in which you get the collectability up
Normall unless you're super lucky you get 1 item per gathering node
If the stars align you can get 2-3
DoH collectibles are specific items you craft most often having the prefix rarefied
Yeah I see the recipes. Where can I find the nodes for DoL?
For farming gathering scrip, do custom deliveries if you have them (this applies to crafting as well). And then this site is good resource for the node timers. You can select an expansion appropriate for your level, click the nodes that can be turned it for scrip, and then click the watching tab to show only the ones you selected. https://www.ffxiv-gathering.com/
A Final Fantasy XIV Gathering Clock for tracking available node locations.
Yeah, really good site
There's also, if you have the patience for them legendary tools you can make later, the crafting tools are pretty easy just abit grindy.
This site is perfect! Bookmarked!
They're not as strong as pentamelded tools, but they are still solid enough
pentamelding referring to items melded with 5 materia
I gave up on pentamelding after I tried to do something with a 10% success change and 35 attempts later the meld still didn't work. I know, it's just RNG, but I don't have the patience for RNG anymore.
Is there a place where you can buy yew lumber? I found out you can buy iron and steel ingot from beast tribe
Material suppliers in the housing districts
Im a conjurer and lvl 18, how is it possible to unlock the class archer ?
ty
And Ixali vendor (beast tribe)
Go the archer's guild in Gridania and do the blue quest
(assuming you've completed your level 10 CNJ quest as it is required before you can change classes)
how come servers name and icon changed? couldnt find it for a second lol
4/1
because it's april first
Check the date ye
ooooh dam its april fools day
and cleave apparently smacks moogles on april first
lool
The moment I put something in the glamour dresser it's bound to me right?
no
ohhh I see!!!!
But I put something and took it out and it was bound to me
ye when you remove the item it will be bound to you
Oof
Otherwise it’ll be a workaround straight casting glamour prism
So once you put something in dresser there's no possibility to sell that item?
Rip
otherwise you could just buy an item, glam it, then sell it
and like, get a free glam
ye any usage at all will stop you from selling
only thing you can without binding is the “try on” function
Eh
to prevent that
glam is using so you wont be able to sell
Oh...
You can reclaim items iirc, but that also removes the option to use it as a glam
You can take items out of the glamour dresser
doesn't really change anything
can still use it as glam
still bound to you
etc
Ye
which portal is ixali vendor?
Portal?
nearest is fallout gourd iirc
yup
Ah, yea North Shroud
ty
is there a known bug that when u press play, there's no screen coming, only music playing and a little black box showing?
in emerald normal, is it safe to stack the pushback or should the 3 people with the kb position in different safe spots?
i restarted pc and it was good again. wondering if it's my pc or the game acting out
hello i wanted to ask how do i rank up to a lieutenant? what am i supposed to do to unlock it
unless you’re a tank popping cooldown, u stack u die
hello i wanted to ask how do i rank up to a lieutenant? what am i supposed to do to unlock it
@formal depot talk to the guy next to quartermaster in gc hq, then exchange seals for ranking up
i already talked to him but he doesnt want to let me
What does he say?

He tells you what you need to do
It's usually a hunting log or dungeon quest requirement
he only tells me that i have the perfect rank for my value
What is your current rank?
i dw how its called in english but its just the one behind lieutenant
Can you screenshot out of curiosity?
yeah
What he says that is
Uhh
I'd probably not understand it tbh
But for real the game should be telling you what you are missing
But I'll double check anyway
it honestly doesnt
it says that the rank i have
is the one i should have
and that i can't get more
At which point something should say what you need to progress
thats why im stuck it doesnt D:
im gonna try to find a screen of what hes saying in english
what’s your seal cap?
50k
Oh then you need to do a mission with your squadron
Yeah
go to the room to the left
and you can do your adventurer squadron stuff
and that's how you rank up from here to Captain which is max rank
the guy wont offer any more rank up at your point
^
i need to find a 4th candidate before i do the squadron stuff?
Is there a pin with data center recommendations ?
You get people who will enlist with your squad when you do challenge log stuff Grog
I mean....there isn't really any reason for one
aside from "Crystal more RPy"
everything is the same
Oh
okok thanks for the help
Is it just the location of the servers and guilds/groups I can do content with or can i cross realm (center ?) ?
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)
You do content across the entire data center
And visit other servers on that data center
Yep, world matters more here as each world has very different communities
Aside from preferred/normal statuses for servers, picking specific servers doesn't really make a difference either except for language reasons
that's it
Because you can still visit the other servers anyway
Some servers are more RP heavy, others are more raiding heavy etc. But this is something that the game won't tell you
FCs (player guilds) are not cross-world though. You can only join ones on your home world.
More just how the servers have developed
Some servers are more RP heavy, others are more raiding heavy etc. But this is something that the game won't tell you
Except again
that's all meaningless completely
and irrelevant
because again, raiding is done across the ENTIRE data center
so picking a server for "raiding" is stupid
what is the most fast paced job in the game right now?
uhhh
Dragoon is up there
oh idk
With alot of OGCDs
ok
as for ranged maybe bard or machinest?
just thinking about starting an alt job
Did the EU/UK Daily Roulette times move with the clocks on Sunday?
generally would say bard simply because i hate machinest
machinist definitely, it's far more ping dependent
Bard is very RNG dependant
Machinist has a very fast burst phase with lots of weaving. Bard is just chaos depending on the procs.
Even after changes, bard is very much about proc RNG
It's based on server time so yes it should have afaik
bard looks fun, I really enjoyed bard that one time I played it in dnd
Bard can go from "EVERYTHING IS PROCING ALL AT ONCE" to "nothing is procing so I spam heavy shot for half a minute"
Bard has two modes, either A. Oh god everything is flashing , what do i do or B. Come on proc!
Ah thank you. Ruins my Thursday/Friday Roulette plans, normally time them with my Daughter going for a nap. 👍
Bard is fun, but I can't play it effectively. I just suck at managing the songs I've overwritten songs so many goddamned times because I panic.
Haha, perfect!
they are very much support dps right?
Yus
BRD and DNC are, yeah
Yes, they do decent on their own by end game they're basically always buffing SOMETHING for the group
Best fun with Bard is when you have procs up all the time
You eventually get used to it to
and you can play music right?
yup
Ninja is also moderatley fastpaced
Also coming from a wow background how is tanking ?
But relies heavily on positionals to be effective
i have one last question what can i buy with the red thing that i have 2k?
Do I have a lot to relearn or is it somewhat simillar
also coming from a WoW background 🙂
In dungeons they all perform well, in raids some tanks are better maintanks than others
BDK for the win
I just want to point out politely that don't expect everything to be like wow
Or have wow equivalent
I know
Is there no custom delivery available yet for HW. That is, it only starts on SB/60+?
One big factor in FF14 as a tank
I am enjoying it more than wow right now, my guild killed the game for me
@torn owl end of HW
You're not solely a tank, you are also expected to do a certain degree of dps
Wair
Yeah first one is Zhloe at 60 which is HW
Eyep, everyone is. It's Red DPS, Blue DPS, and Green DPS. Everyone should be contributing to stabbing the baddy in some fashion.
You're not a pure dps, that is not what i am saying, but you are expected to contribute dps to the fight even if you are offtank
the rest are SB+
I think I can do dps well, I min/maxed my rotation and gear so much in WoW I was 5th on the charts at all time
once again though, that was wow
who knows how I will do here
¯_(ツ)_/¯
There are dedicated combat dummies that are tuned towards certain fights, also tuned towards a certain job
For your level, Shire gear from Idlyshire or the rowena rep near the Ishgard aetherite. (Both require some MSQ progress to unlock though)
Healers have a lot of moves at their disposal, so they don't need to be fully dedicated to healing party member, so the free time is used to do damage
On those you can practice if you have enough individual dps to clear that dummy in a set amount of time
Tank has most of their tanking stuff integrated into their damage skills, so there is no reason not to do and hit stuff
It's not foolproof as a means of testing, but it gives good ability to practice rotation
Shire gear will carry you from 60-70 easily
So that is a great investment
A lot of the tank variance comes in flavor of play. Warrior is straightforward, visceral style tanking. Dark Knight is a fairly simple combo, lacks some defensive abilities until 70+ but good god does that change. Paladin has probably the most complex rotation since it has a melee and magic phase. Gunbreaker has a pretty active playstyle and you can give your healers heart attacks which is a plus in my book.
One big thing as an FFXIV tank is learn to use your targetable defensive cooldowns in 8 mans to support the other tank.
Shire might be a bit less comfy between 65-70
Scaeven can actually last from 70-80 cuz scaling
Yeah true
When the new DLC comes out, will ShB get a poetics vendor for previous endgame gear?
what do you mean by scaling
The existing vendor just ask for poetics
^ @delicate field
@strange coral thanks
More than likely, yes. Deepshadow and Cryptlurker gear will be converted to poetics sets while the new 90 stuff will accept new tomes.
like the vendor in rhalgr's, the tome gear vendor in eulmore will sell augmented gear for poetics
so everyone can have their dark souls glamour
That's how it worked for ARR, HW, and SB endgame vendors
Don't expect it to be any different for ShB vendor
wait deepshadow will become poetics gears?
Yeah
Not until 6.0 but yes
So penta melded exarchic will become obsolete as well eh?
correct
is 50-59 content the only time you'll worry about the free fire 3 procs?
It already is
isnt it already changed to hunt exchange or sth?
Pentameld Exarchic is already obsolete
Yeah and it should remain hunt seal exchange
yeah you can get deepshadow from the hunt vendor atm
deepshadow won't be poeticable
^
It was good on the first two week because that's the quickest power boost you can get
it'll be crystarium and cryptlurker gear
^ that is bought with poetics
Apologies for causing the confusion on deep shadow
Until you get Fire IV, which replaces most of your Fire
Then you should use Fire III whenever it procs
Afterward, if you get any Fire III proc, you use it during movement, or squeeze it in before you swap to Umbral Ice
For a newbie conjurer (me) how do I target enemies via dpad? I try left and right but it goes to enemies far away
@strange coral im sorry where am i able to get the shire gear? i can't seem to find it
do i need to do a quest?
shire gear is in Idyllshire
rowena’s culture exchange
You need to reach there physically
biggest building in idylshire
Idyllshire comes up in Heavensward quests eventually. If you haven't made it there yet, you'll have to wait.
Northwest of the aetheryte
oh ok thanks
