I looked at the control scheme on steam and the button layouts looked normal

remote lintel
#

do you have the switch controller option ticked in the controller settings

#

on steam

upper zodiac
#

yes

#

yes

remote lintel
#

and the generic one too

upper zodiac
#

no

remote lintel
#

close the game and try that

upper zodiac
#

ok

#

when you launch the game do you just launch it from the tray or in big picture mode?

remote lintel
#

i dont use big picture mode

upper zodiac
#

still same problem

#

although this time it looks like my hotbars are changed to a controller layout

remote lintel
#

you should be using cross hotbars yes

#

try calibrating it in system config

upper zodiac
#

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?

remote lintel
#

yes

#

are you using big picture mode?

upper zodiac
#

no

remote lintel
#

i was going to ask if the controller worked fine in big picture mode

leaden ginkgo
#

Are these still up to date aside from not including ranks 9+?

remote lintel
#

probably not

twilit arch
upper zodiac
#

I'm goin to try a system restart

onyx anchor
#

Is the only way to get to Thanalan without teleporting from La Noscea through Limsa Lominsa's ferry?

twilit arch
#

easiest way to level a solo fc is to run dungeons (either unsync or experts) and turn in the gear for seals

upper zodiac
#

so if I hold left+right triggers and move the camera when right stick, i can move.. basically. is that normal?

granite wolf
#

whats the current endgame item level?

warped nest
#

535 weapon

remote lintel
#

does left stick not work

warped nest
#

530 armors and accessories

#

That's the max

upper zodiac
#

left stick also moves the camera, but only right stick changes the direction the character is moving in while LT+RT is held down

warped nest
#

Your Allegory tomestone can be used to buy 490 stuff and Revelation buys 520

remote lintel
#

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

twilit arch
#

outside of teleporting to horizon that is

upper zodiac
#

just ran some updates

#

still the same

#

must be a setting issue somehwere...

remote lintel
#

steam recognizes the controller right?

upper zodiac
#

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 😮

remote lintel
#

huh

#

well at least you got it

upper zodiac
#

very bizarre

#

and there didn't seem to be anything on google about it

!item Vesper Bay Aetheryte Ticket

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Vesper Bay Aetheryte Ticket** **:** Other : ilvl 1

A voucher redeemable by Scions of the Seventh Dawn for instant teleportation to Vesper Bay.

mental oracle
#

does fantasia allow me to change race as well?

twilit arch
#

yes it does

onyx anchor
#

yea idk what those tickets are, sorry

twilit arch
#

@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.

onyx anchor
#

msq = main story quest?

twilit arch
#

yes

onyx anchor
#

nope, haven't done them

twilit arch
#

the other way of getting to thanalan without teleporting is making use of the airship between the major cities

onyx anchor
#

i have 18 gils :p

twilit arch
#

welp

onyx anchor
#

or is it just 18 gil

#

idk

twilit arch
#

if you're not on limsa

#

then you can walk to thanalan

onyx anchor
#

i have come to the conclusion that fate hates me

twilit arch
#

could try selling some of the random stuff you have?

onyx anchor
#

good idea

#

i got 10 iron cuirasses

twilit arch
#

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

onyx anchor
#

what's the "Shop Selling Price" when u check an item's stats

honest anvil
#

just Do a roulette for some good gil

#

ez 10k

sullen lark
#

Is it still impossible to guarantee +2 with Pick Clean on the 3* lvl 80 nodes?

twilit arch
#

shop selling price is how much you can buy that item from an npc vendor for

tepid jackal
#

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?

twilit arch

yes

potent shale

does anyone know where the BiS Materia is for Crafters

#

trying to pentameld them D:

twilit arch
#

what you meld for crafters depends on your end-game goals

honest anvil
twilit arch

has several sets with their own recommended rotations

potent shale
#

I just want to be able to craft aesthete gears for my Miner

honest anvil
#

there are possible budget builds but crafting aesthetes is very much endgame crafting so be prepared ¯_(ツ)_/¯

craggy pond
#

hi i was wondering if anyone on would be able to answer some questions i had in a chat?

simple atlas
#

Just ask them here, it's what the channel's for

craggy pond
#

yea but its a lot and dont wanna fill the chat

simple atlas
#

Don't worry bout it

craggy pond
#

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

simple atlas
#

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

remote lintel
#

theres tank healer and dps

#

thats it

#

and all classes are viable

simple atlas
#

The most "support" based class would probably be Dancer which is still a DPS

craggy pond
#

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

remote lintel
#

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

honest anvil
#

healers in ff XIV are more like dps who can heal fwiw

remote lintel
#

if you play a healer and all you do is heal then youre doing real bad

honest anvil
#

Like, all 3 healers’ in this game focus on maximising their dmg outputs

#

and heal only when must

craggy pond
#

hm

simple atlas
#

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*

shut panther
#

If you just want to craft the top end mining gear you absolutely should not and instead just purchase it

fading helm
#

guys

#

where is the quest that gives me my first mount?

shut panther
#

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"

remote lintel

!faq mounts

Mounts FAQ

'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.

fading helm
#

ohh lv. 20 of the main quest

#

i thought it was me being lv. 20

remote lintel
#

your character level doesnt do anything except let you unlock classes

glacial isle
#

what mount is this?

remote lintel
#

grani from the shb collectors edition

wispy peak
#

how does limit break work?

remote lintel
#

it changes depending on how many bars you have

glacial isle
topaz nest
#

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?

twilit arch
#

Assuming she's on pc, did she apply the code to her mogstation account?

lethal mist
#

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?

twilit arch
#

You are automatically kicked from a dungeon if you're afk for 10minutes or more

lethal mist
#

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 😛

twilit arch
#

you're still taking up an instance server

vital ruin
#

Oof mb

#

Do you get white scripts from custom deliveries

twilit arch
#

yes

#

need to be 80 tho

vital ruin

I c

edgy sail
#

I'm still in hw content, is it still possible to find a group for Eureka?

obsidian patio
#

Nope

edgy sail
#

144-man instance seems ridiculous

#

Is there any way to still complete the stormblood relics then?

little swift
#

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

obsidian patio
#

Yeah I misread

little swift
#

with BA being 56

edgy sail
#

Oh alright

#

How bad are the queue times?

little swift
#

there are no queue times for instancing into a eureka zone

edgy sail
#

Oh, I didn't understand how it works then

lethal mist
#

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.

obsidian patio
#

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

solar hinge
#

Hello can I look for people to queue here or i'm in the wrong channel?

rugged flicker
#

I just now noticed that there are company ranks above captain now. Are we currently able to access those ranks?

wispy peak
#

any way to reduce queue times?

simple atlas
gloomy ice
rugged flicker
#

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.

little swift
lethal mist
#

Wow, that's exactly what I wanted, thanks!

twilit arch
#

the grand company ranks have been there since 2.0, but SE has said they don't want to add new ranks willynilly

lavish breach
#

where would one go to find a static or linkshell for raiding/progging for crystal?

little swift
#

Marshal isn't currently obtainable

twilit arch
#

so they only add them when they have something else to add with it

rugged flicker
twilit arch
#

i.e squadrons for 1st LT and the weapons with captain

rugged flicker
#

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.

solar hinge

Where is the matched party option for POTD please? 🙂

Avaliable in 1 Days, 0 Hours, 16 Minutes, 18 Seconds

#

wait does fashion report not reset on tuesday?

twilit arch
#

the theme does

#

but judging doesnt open until friday

soft flicker
#

oh

shut panther
twilit arch
#

we got captain weapons in 4.4

modern sorrel
#

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

twilit arch
#

like i said, they only want to add ranks when they have something to add with it

rugged flicker
#

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?

proud willow
#

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

twilit arch
#

they'll add more ranks when they have something to add along side it, that's the long and short of it

shut panther
twilit arch
#

when that happens who knows

modern sorrel
#

Oh right diamond weapon soon right

glossy flare
#

getting cryptlurker now to be ready once it can be augmented is not so bad of an idea tbh

#

derp, I mean exarchic

shut panther
#

The new Alliance raid will drop 520 armor, diamond will drop a 525 weapon, and exarchic will be augmentable to 520

modern sorrel
#

Will cryptlurker outstat most gear when we can augment it before 6.0?

shut panther
#

Yes, it will be 530

#

But iirc the weapon will still require Savage raiding to augment

twilit arch
#

for a duration yes

shut panther
#

Only the armor augment items will be acquired in easy content

twilit arch
#

weapon is added to alliance tokens around the same time savage unlocks

modern sorrel
#

Alright it seems that it's still very worth getting the cryptlurker set then

glossy flare
#

even without savage you can augment it with the next alliance raid

#

which is not too far away

shut panther
#

Yeah there's no reason not to cap the 450 a week, you can do it very quickly with a hunt train

modern sorrel
#

Hunt train?

glossy flare
#

lots of people doing hunts very fast

modern sorrel
#

Oh man I keep hearing things I never knew lol

glossy flare
#

because they are lots of people

modern sorrel
#

I gotta look into hunts too

glossy flare
#

might have to do some catching up in terms of quests if you never unlocked them

shut panther
#

A hunt train is a large group of people doing every A hunt in the expansion, all of which are scouted out beforehand

glossy flare
#

but it's very worth it

#

often hunts are the fastest way to get something

modern sorrel
#

Is it hard to get into one of those groups?

glossy flare
#

nah

twilit arch
#

no

shut panther
#

They're not exclusive at all

twilit arch
#

either look at PF when a train is about to start

#

or shout for an inv

shut panther
#

More the merrier type content

modern sorrel
#

Oh sick alright i'll try to unlock the content then

glossy flare
#

yeah, since it's faster for everyone the more people you have there really is no issue with getting an invite

shut panther
#

Is the primal hunt train discord

opaque fiber
#

Is it any expansion or just Shb

shut panther
#

You can get notifications from it when one is starting and just pop to whatever server with world visit

twilit arch
#

mostly going to be shb and sb

#

ARR and HW hunts can for the most part be solo'd

opaque fiber
#

hmm and what rewards are there? alliance seals?

shut panther
#

Shb is the most popular expansion because it gives the current tomestone/nuts

twilit arch
#

ARR hunts generally die way too fast to really wait for a train

shut panther
#

But there's occasional centurio trains

glossy flare
#

ShB hunts net you a currency called nuts

#

SB hunts net you centurio seals

#

both of which can be exchanged for various things

opaque fiber
#

I see, I shall join then

shut panther
#

That discord is useful if you want seals though, because they also notify of older expansion s rank spawns

opaque fiber
#

It's only for primal so I joined faloop

modern sorrel
#

I joined the server thanks guys

twilit arch
#

has roles for all datacenters

opaque fiber
#

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

twilit arch
#

they ping

#

so if you want to be notified for shb trains, you grab the appropriate role

opaque fiber
#

Ohh I see

#

Ty a lot

compact pebble
#

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 ;-;

honest anvil
#

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

obsidian patio
#

yeah the NA servers are all the way on the west coast.

Mac: Open Terminal and type ping *insert IP Address here*

compact pebble
#

Yeah yeah I know this, but last time I tried it went well

#

But never got to the level of raiding

queen cove
#

If you buy boost and story skip you can hit raid level pretty quickly

compact pebble
#

(job skips and stuff no, wast of money for me XD)

queen cove
#

about 20-30 hours if you skip cutscenes

honest anvil
#

From start to current tier raiding probably takes a good 1 week of no-lifeing

compact pebble
#

i don't have a life currently, so that should be fine

queen cove
#

MSQ + skips should net you enough gil for a full crafted set, good entry into the tier

#

So gearing shouldnt be an issue

compact pebble
#

Don't know which community to go, really.

#

Was between primal and aether

queen cove
#

servers for raiding?

leaden ginkgo
#

primal and aether are both pretty good for raiding

queen cove
#

I raid on Aether and the community is fairly large, although Im sure you wouldnt have an issue on primal either

twilit arch
#

throw a dart, primal and aether are pretty equal in savage clears from the last luckybancho census

compact pebble
#

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)

queen cove
#

You can ping servers

#

Outside the game

honest anvil
#

That bot above has instruction at the end

compact pebble
#

I raid with someone from Brazil and he is pretty fine, so I was going to give it a shoot as well

queen cove
#

ping 184.107.107.176 and see what your ping is

compact pebble
#

Mh mh OK, I'll do that

honest anvil
#

Test ping multiple multiple times during your would-be raid time

compact pebble
#

And for the hunts side?

honest anvil
#

Just look up hunt discords for your would-be Data center

compact pebble
#

Mmmmmh OK, I'll go over all again

honest anvil
#

hunt is sth people even do at work so shouldnt be that hard to find a group

wispy peak
#

do I need to unlock the dungeons or complete them?

twilit arch
#

you need to complete them

glossy flare
#

Urianger in the waking sands has the quests

twilit arch
#

the initial unlock for the chain is with minfilia in the waking sands

#

who then directs you to urianger

glossy flare
#

I always forget that

#

thanks 😄

twilit arch
#

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!)

leaden ginkgo
#

what are "cassie earrings" and why are they so expensive?

#

i see that you can get them from a fate but, 100mil? wha

honest anvil
#

They help with eureka grind

leaden ginkgo
#

how so?

honest anvil
#

yes they help but no, not worth 100 mil

#

they are more of a flex thing at this point imo

leaden ginkgo
#

yeah same with the belt thing

twilit arch
#

also they're 100mil because while they drop from the fate, they are a rare drop

vital ruin
#

Does HoH also have a middle ground like Potd lv 50

twilit arch
#

so there's not much supply

#

21-30

vital ruin
#

So I can continue from 21?

twilit arch
#

ye

vital ruin
#

What's the max

wispy peak
#

whats the best way to level a new job?

vital ruin

Do I open up a PF for 1-20 or 1-21

100 is the max amount of floors

Okay so I opened a PF for floor 1-20
Should I mention anything else? Like first time and stuff

wispy peak
#

does limit break count as a weapon skill?

swift pasture
#

is there a way to leave a PVP team?

#

my friends made one back then and I want to leave

glossy flare
#

it's also not affected by any kind of buff

wispy peak
#

ahh

glossy flare
#

it's just flat potency

vital ruin
#

Do I have to finish floor 30 to be able to do 21? In HoH

obsidian patio
#

Fairly sure not.

vital ruin
#

This dood in my PF said he had to do 30 floors and finish a quest before he could do 21

proud willow
#

You cannot start a new save file on floor 21 until you have done the quest that opens up once you beat floor 30

vital ruin
#

Ohh

#

So basically do 1-30 so you have access to 21

proud willow
#

after you finish floor 20, you'll have a save file that is currently on floor 21, if that helps

oak ice
#

After you beat 30 for the first time, you get a bluequest outside to unlock 21-30 as a starting point

strong saddle
#

I'm on the free trial atm and I wanna know when I eventually buy the game

obsidian patio
#

I have them kinda branch apart for controller

glossy flare
#

I have them ordered by combo steps on pc

#

So all 2nd skills in any combo together and so on

strong saddle
#

Hmm cuz I'm debating on doing it in a controller or keyboard and mouse

glossy flare
#

from what I hear controller works great in this game

#

not my style personally though

warm snow
#

I split my controller hotbars between single target and aoe

pulsar escarp
#

Only issue is typing and maybe some duty actions

strong saddle
#

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?

glossy flare
#

Yes, always spread your dots

strong saddle
#

I'm still new and summoner seems more up my ally

#

Alley

pulsar escarp
#

Yes

warm snow
#

Until you get the aoe aether low ogcd

glossy flare
#

And use garuda egi

warm snow
#

But always spread your dots

strong saddle
#

Can't that fire pet do aoe as well? And which should I choose?

#

Cuz they both donaie

#

Aoe

warm snow
#

Garuda is all aoe

glossy flare
#

Ifrit for single target, garuda for aoe

warm snow
#

Ifrit only has aoe on one of his egi assaults

glossy flare
#

Titan is useless, sadly

warm snow
#

I think technically his enkindle is aoe, I don't fully remember

#

Titan is your potd solo companion

glossy flare
#

Outside of some solo content maybe

pulsar escarp
#

It is

strong saddle
#

And when I reach 60 deathflare is essential gimmick for the summoner? Cuz I know there's a phoenix pet as well

glossy flare
#

Phoenix summon is lvl 80

#

Dont sweat it now

#

And yes, deathflare is your finisher for dradwyrm trance

#

It is essential

warm snow
#

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

warm snow
#

Pretty much

glossy flare
#

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

warm snow
#

Yeah but in such a situation you'll keep it out so no point keeping it on your hotbaes

#

NUGGET ADVENTURES IN THE CRYPT

glossy flare
#

btw, remember to spend your aetherflow in aoe situations too

#

think we didn't mention that

#

I did

glossy flare
#

painflare is your friend

#

ah right

warm snow
#

Bit you don't get that til hw

glossy flare
#

yeah 52 I think

strong saddle
#

Should I combine Painflare and Tri-disaster?

glossy flare
#

you generally combine tri disaster and bane

#

tri disaster to dot one enemy fast and then bane to spread it

#

in aoe at least

rigid narwhal
#

Hey, I just corrupted my ffxiv install

#

what do i need to backup

#

other than the stuff in documents/mygames

glossy flare
#

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

warm snow
#

Your character configs, can't remember where they are ask Google sensei

rigid narwhal
#

fair

strong saddle
#

So once The cooldown resets use it again? Or should I wait

warm snow
#

Maybe your character design if you want to keep that

#

Again ask Google where that actually is

glossy flare
#

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

warm snow
#

Character configs is stuff like your hotbars and hud

rigid narwhal
#

yeah i got all that

#

thank god for fast internet tho

#

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?

obsidian patio
#

for level 70 equipment all jobs have the easy option of scaevan gear with tomestones of poetics

strong saddle
#

When do u get relic armor?

obsidian patio
#

Each level cap (50,60,70,80) has their own job sets for the level caps the job was around for.

strong saddle
#

Okay

obsidian patio
#

So Summoner would have level 50/60/70/80 job gear, while samurai would only have 70/80

lethal mist
#

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 do I get rid of my sprout?

glossy flare
#

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

vital ruin
#

Okay so I need 10 empyrean aetherpool grip
Do I trade just 10/10 for 10 grips or 1 grip

glossy flare
#

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

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

honest anvil
#

which one specifically?

timid geyser
#

Also don't forget to enable all languages in you duty finder

honest anvil
#

is it off peak time where you are?

ivory night

I dont know which one it is in English cause buts the one where you have to defend Ishgard

proud willow

#

Yeh

#

Since you don't seem to be English

#

Did you enable English in your DF?

ivory night
#

I found a group, still thanks guys

timid geyser
#

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

timid geyser

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.

glossy flare
#
  1. No
  2. No, Gladiator exclusively turns into Paladin. But you can start with the Marauder class in Limsa Lominsa which then turns into Warrior.
  3. 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 😄

proud willow
#

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

timid geyser
#

The question was "can a gladiator become a Warrior?" the answer is simple, no

proud willow
#

uh

#

that character can become a Warrior

timid geyser
#

Yes but not Gladiator

proud willow
#

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

glossy flare
#

kinda unnecessary to argue about this

timid geyser
#

The game tells you that you can switch later anyway so

chilly flax
#

ok thank guys. So how to do dungeons if a free account cannot use the chat, use party finder or create groups?

glossy flare
#

you can use the duty finder

#

to queue for them

chilly flax
#

oh thats good

glossy flare
#

you just can't queue for them together with some friends for example

chilly flax
#

same kind of thing of party finder I guess

glossy flare
#

no, it's different

#

party finder is a tool to put up a posting for doing a certain kind of activity

chilly flax
#

im lvl 15 now, where do I get the warrior job?

glossy flare
#

while duty finder just puts you together with any kind of people

hasty musk
#

level 30

chilly flax
#

ok

glossy flare
#

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

hasty musk
#

and you need to be level 30 as a Marauder for Warrior

glossy flare
#

yeah but he is a gladiator

#

you need to start as a Marauder at lvl 1 again

hasty musk
#

I was about to say that

glossy flare
#

fair

chilly flax
#

but to start as marauder I also need to unlock airship trevel yea?

glossy flare
#

The quest is technically available for you, you just can't get to where it is

#

That needs airship travel, yes

chilly flax
#

well guys, you have been very helpful. Thank you very much 😄

glossy flare
#

Different classes just start in different cities

#

so some content is semi-locked until they can access other cities

chilly flax
#

I might stop paying blizzard for WoW classic and start paying for FFXIV. It really looks a good game

THM/BLM leveling rotations
obsidian patio
#

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

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 ?

glossy flare

yes

warped nest
#

Yes

glossy flare
#

the trial includes all content up to lvl 60

which is a lot

Because it covers all level 1-60 contents

And all other items that can be seen by players, even in starting towns

tardy pumice
#

I see. Thank you

warped nest
#

This includes all level 60+ armors, weapons, mounts, minions, etc

mystic lily

Yep, the trial contains all the content avilable up to 60, with mainly social limitations

tardy pumice

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.

#

Is there anyway to access gc from crystarium

#

I'm starting to really hate limsa

terse roost
#

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

vital ruin
#

I'm storm captain
If I switch over to flames
Where do i start from
I've like 85k GC seals on me

glossy flare
#

you start as a private again

obsidian patio
#

your rank and storm seals are "frozen" and you start back as a private

terse roost
#

Those seals will remain seperate so you don't lose them, but you start as a private with 0 Seals.

glossy flare
#

and you do not take your seals with you

vital ruin
#

Waaait whaat

glossy flare
#

every GC technically has their own seals

#

Storm seals, flame seals and so on

midnight lion
#

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

terse roost
#

So like right now I have... 80,000ish Storm Seals, 50,000 Serpent Seal, and like 4,000 Flame Seals (Current GC)

midnight lion
#

and vice versa

vital ruin
#

Dammit man I just can't stand limsa anymore

terse roost
#

You can only switch every... 2 weeks? And it costs 50,000 gil after the first switch.

vital ruin
#

Do I just transfer

terse roost
#

Yep, just talk to the flames dudes nearish the aethryte in Ul'Dah

vital ruin
#

I've a lot of gears on me that I can trade for seals

#

Also should I transfer to flames or serpent

terse roost
#

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.

vital ruin
#

Which place is better in terms of accessibility

#

I had uldah has things nearer

glossy flare
#

they are both pretty equal, though flames are probably a tiny bit closer

vital ruin
#

Like the gc is just next to main aetherite

terse roost
#

Both about the same, GC HQ is right by the main aethrytes. Only Maelstrom is farther from the main

vital ruin
#

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

terse roost
#

... 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

glossy flare
#

you do have to complete the occasional quest to rank up again

#

but that's fast too

vital ruin
#

What about my PVP rank
Does that rest alsi

obsidian patio
#

frozen too

vital ruin
#

Fucking keyboard

obsidian patio
#

not like it matters anyway

#

it's basically only for achievements

vital ruin

But I'm like rank 36 MiqoteDepressed

#

Do I revert back

hazy flint
#

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

obsidian patio
#

I haven't checked the PS store so I can't say

terse roost
#

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

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

in that case then it's a lot less tedious

If I only level via deep dungeons
Does the squadron battle manuals have any purpose

Nope

Materia & Melding FAQ

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.

obsidian patio
#

One of the NPCs by mutamix has the quests

topaz nest
#

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.

What is that job? Ive never seen it before

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?

So who should LB to be most efficient depends on the situation.

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

it does add up though because as i said, you always port somewhere

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.

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.

mystic lily

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

strange coral
#

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?

torn owl
#

Okay, I haven't really started farming for scrips. Is it easier to farm them from crafting collectibles than gathering?

mystic lily
#

You'll have plenty of sources to get scrips from

strange coral
#

You'll have to do both. Gathering scrip are separate from crafting scrip.

torn owl
#

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?

strange coral
mystic lily
#

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

torn owl
#

Yeah I see the recipes. Where can I find the nodes for DoL?

strange coral
#

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/

mystic lily
#

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.

mystic lily
#

They're not as strong as pentamelded tools, but they are still solid enough

#

pentamelding referring to items melded with 5 materia

terse roost
#

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.

vital ruin
#

The moment I put something in the glamour dresser it's bound to me right?

silver lion
manic flare
#

no

vital ruin
#

But I put something and took it out and it was bound to me

honest anvil
#

ye when you remove the item it will be bound to you

vital ruin
#

Oof

honest anvil
#

Otherwise it’ll be a workaround straight casting glamour prism

vital ruin
#

So once you put something in dresser there's no possibility to sell that item?

wintry chasm
#

Correct

#

no way to sell

vital ruin
#

Rip

wintry chasm
#

otherwise you could just buy an item, glam it, then sell it

#

and like, get a free glam

vital ruin
#

Ohhhh

#

Did not know that!

#

Holy shit

honest anvil
#

ye any usage at all will stop you from selling

#

only thing you can without binding is the “try on” function

vital ruin
#

So I buy something
Glam it
And I can sell it?

#

It's not used?

wintry chasm
#

No

#

I said you CANT do that

#

This is the reason why it binds to you

vital ruin
#

Eh

wintry chasm
#

to prevent that

honest anvil
#

glam is using so you wont be able to sell

vital ruin
#

Oh...

mystic lily
#

You can reclaim items iirc, but that also removes the option to use it as a glam

wintry chasm
#

doesn't really change anything

#

can still use it as glam

#

still bound to you

#

etc

mystic lily

wintry chasm

He tells you what you need to do

#

It's usually a hunting log or dungeon quest requirement

formal depot
#

he only tells me that i have the perfect rank for my value

strange coral
#

What is your current rank?

formal depot
#

i dw how its called in english but its just the one behind lieutenant

wintry chasm
#

Can you screenshot out of curiosity?

formal depot
#

yeah

wintry chasm
#

What he says that is

formal depot
#

oh its in french

#

is it ok?

wintry chasm
#

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

formal depot
#

it honestly doesnt

#

it says that the rank i have

#

is the one i should have

#

and that i can't get more

wintry chasm
#

At which point something should say what you need to progress

formal depot
#

thats why im stuck it doesnt D:

#

im gonna try to find a screen of what hes saying in english

honest anvil
#

what’s your seal cap?

formal depot
#

wintry chasm
#

ahahaha

#

there that's the issue

honest anvil
#

Oh then you need to do a mission with your squadron

wintry chasm
#

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

honest anvil
#

the guy wont offer any more rank up at your point

wintry chasm
#

^

formal depot
#

i need to find a 4th candidate before i do the squadron stuff?

tardy pumice
#

Is there a pin with data center recommendations ?

wintry chasm
#

You get people who will enlist with your squad when you do challenge log stuff Grog

wintry chasm
#

aside from "Crystal more RPy"

#

everything is the same

tardy pumice
#

Oh

formal depot
#

okok thanks for the help

tardy pumice
#

Is it just the location of the servers and guilds/groups I can do content with or can i cross realm (center ?) ?

strange coral
#

Well maybe depending on language if going to a EU or JP datacenter

#

!faq worldpick

zinc orbitBOT
#
Which world should I pick?

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)
wintry chasm
#

And visit other servers on that data center

mystic lily
#

Yep, world matters more here as each world has very different communities

wintry chasm
#

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

mystic lily
#

Some servers are more RP heavy, others are more raiding heavy etc. But this is something that the game won't tell you

strange coral
#

FCs (player guilds) are not cross-world though. You can only join ones on your home world.

mystic lily
#

More just how the servers have developed

wintry chasm
#

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

spiral valve
#

what is the most fast paced job in the game right now?

wintry chasm
#

uhhh

mystic lily
#

Dragoon is up there

wintry chasm
#

oh idk

mystic lily
#

With alot of OGCDs

wintry chasm
#

DRG is the slowest melee honestly

#

Samurai or Monk is better there

heavy wadi
#

DRG is very slow

#

MNK or SAM

spiral valve
#

ok

wintry chasm
#

as for ranged maybe bard or machinest?

spiral valve
#

just thinking about starting an alt job

slate elm
#

Did the EU/UK Daily Roulette times move with the clocks on Sunday?

wintry chasm
#

generally would say bard simply because i hate machinest

heavy wadi
#

machinist definitely, it's far more ping dependent

mystic lily
#

Bard is very RNG dependant

terse roost
#

Machinist has a very fast burst phase with lots of weaving. Bard is just chaos depending on the procs.

mystic lily
#

Even after changes, bard is very much about proc RNG

wintry chasm
spiral valve
#

bard looks fun, I really enjoyed bard that one time I played it in dnd

strange coral
#

Bard can go from "EVERYTHING IS PROCING ALL AT ONCE" to "nothing is procing so I spam heavy shot for half a minute"

mystic lily
#

Bard has two modes, either A. Oh god everything is flashing , what do i do or B. Come on proc!

slate elm
terse roost
#

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.

spiral valve
#

they are very much support dps right?

mystic lily
#

Yus

heavy wadi
#

BRD and DNC are, yeah

spiral valve
#

I do like being support

#

so monk or bard, HMMMMMMM

terse roost
#

Yes, they do decent on their own by end game they're basically always buffing SOMETHING for the group

mystic lily
#

Best fun with Bard is when you have procs up all the time

#

You eventually get used to it to

spiral valve
#

and you can play music right?

mystic lily
#

yup

spiral valve
#

fun

#

I will have to look more into them

mystic lily
#

Ninja is also moderatley fastpaced

tardy pumice
#

Also coming from a wow background how is tanking ?

mystic lily
#

But relies heavily on positionals to be effective

formal depot
#

i have one last question what can i buy with the red thing that i have 2k?

tardy pumice
#

Do I have a lot to relearn or is it somewhat simillar

mystic lily
#

Very straightforward

#

All tanks have good AoE tanking abilities now

spiral valve
mystic lily
#

In dungeons they all perform well, in raids some tanks are better maintanks than others

spiral valve
#

BDK for the win

warped nest
#

I just want to point out politely that don't expect everything to be like wow

#

Or have wow equivalent

spiral valve
#

I know

torn owl
#

Is there no custom delivery available yet for HW. That is, it only starts on SB/60+?

mystic lily
#

One big factor in FF14 as a tank

spiral valve
#

I am enjoying it more than wow right now, my guild killed the game for me

warped nest
#

@torn owl end of HW

mystic lily
#

You're not solely a tank, you are also expected to do a certain degree of dps

warped nest
#

Wair

wintry chasm
terse roost
#

Eyep, everyone is. It's Red DPS, Blue DPS, and Green DPS. Everyone should be contributing to stabbing the baddy in some fashion.

mystic lily
#

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

wintry chasm
#

the rest are SB+

spiral valve
#

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)_/¯

mystic lily
#

There are dedicated combat dummies that are tuned towards certain fights, also tuned towards a certain job

strange coral
warped nest
#

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

mystic lily
#

On those you can practice if you have enough individual dps to clear that dummy in a set amount of time

warped nest
#

Tank has most of their tanking stuff integrated into their damage skills, so there is no reason not to do and hit stuff

mystic lily
#

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

terse roost
#

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.

warped nest
#

Shire might be a bit less comfy between 65-70

#

Scaeven can actually last from 70-80 cuz scaling

mystic lily
#

Yeah true

#

When the new DLC comes out, will ShB get a poetics vendor for previous endgame gear?

manic flare
warped nest
#

The existing vendor just ask for poetics

mystic lily
#

Dungeon scaling i assume

#

The leveling dungeons scales your gear to a certain ilvl

wintry chasm
formal depot
#

@strange coral thanks

gloomy ice
stone lily
#

so everyone can have their dark souls glamour

warped nest
#

That's how it worked for ARR, HW, and SB endgame vendors

#

Don't expect it to be any different for ShB vendor

honest anvil
#

wait deepshadow will become poetics gears?

warped nest
#

Yeah

gloomy ice
#

Not until 6.0 but yes

warped nest
#

Cuz when Endwalker comes out

#

ShB becomes old endgame

delicate field
#

So penta melded exarchic will become obsolete as well eh?

red otter
#

correct

signal aspen
#

is 50-59 content the only time you'll worry about the free fire 3 procs?

warped nest
#

It already is

honest anvil
#

isnt it already changed to hunt exchange or sth?

warped nest
#

Pentameld Exarchic is already obsolete

wintry chasm
red otter
#

yeah you can get deepshadow from the hunt vendor atm

wintry chasm
#

deepshadow won't be poeticable

red otter
#

^

warped nest
#

It was good on the first two week because that's the quickest power boost you can get

red otter
#

it'll be crystarium and cryptlurker gear

wintry chasm
#

^ that is bought with poetics

warped nest
#

Apologies for causing the confusion on deep shadow

warped nest
#

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

red otter

shire gear is in Idyllshire

honest anvil
