okay, will do, thanks. And just doing dungeons is the best way to get these? no alternatives or methods
Tome gear is basically the best 'purchaeable' gear for the given expansion, you'll want to buy it again after stormblood and heavensward. It'll last until x4/x5 of the next expansions msq
Does anyone have a crafting tree image or website so I don't have to go hopping between all of the menus to figure out how to get something crafted?
okay excellent, thank you all for your help
Teamcraft is a good tool for tracking all that
okay i have a little problem
whenever i hover over an action icon, my whole screen dims
where do I go to change my looks?
unlock the aesthetician and use the crystal bell at the inn
I don't know how many more times I can bring myself to do the main scenario roulette
do people do this one every day?
usually until they are done leveling jobs or are capped for weekly tomes.
What should I meld into my gear as a DRK?
You shouldn't need to worry about melds til you're in the endgame
If you're aiming for Bis through the savage raids I'd recommend reading up on the balance discord
!faq balance
though for tanks isnt it typically crit - det - sksp aside from paladin?
since warrior doesn't have much oGCDs to weave and its easy to build the resource to use them, yeah.
will the .5 update in a few weeks have the final relic weapon upgrade?
making it better than raid?
.55
That's later in 5.55
that is a few weeks after .5 right?
kind of unfortunate in timing
Ye
late may?
Not strictly so
Its always sks to comfort > crit >dhit >det
With war seeing less value in dhit
Most of the tanks want at least 2.42 - 2.40 gcd for lining up their rotations
And also for hitting x amount of gcds in their burst windows
War can use the melds of the other tanks just fine
But to minimize upheaval drift you take either a slightly fast or a slightly slower gcd to line it up better
And the dhit on war is really about whether you'd be able to fish a small amount of out of ir fell cleave dhit/dcrit
before shadowbringers came out, what did most players occupy their time with when they finished stormblood
The same things they're doing now to wait for ew
Raids, fun side stuff
Maps
Etc
Ex/Savage, Eureka
Unsubbing and playing other games
Relics they put off

achievement grinding
What's the best level 80 gear you can get with the most minimal effort after the ones you get in tempest from gerolt?
Weekly raid tier?
Why is that?
Classic time gating
keeps people from grinding it the first few weeks then stopping
460 gear for nuts if you do hunt trains
black mage or summoner
Whatever looks cooler
knowing the fight so you know where to stand and move minimally, or have more freedom of movement but a strict rotation
Black mage has explosions
thats up to you then
Summoner has space lasers and bahamut and phoenix
classic mage vs pets and space lazers
summoner seems fun
I like having pets
makes it less lonely as a player
ohhh well well
channy u seem like you know more
which one can help u solo better
Minions are cosmetic
Only the chocobo is for overworld combat related stuff
Summoner like mentioned has pets and a relatively specific rotation at later levels
Neither blm or smn are any better at soloing
Black mage alternates between ice and fire elements to do big damage
Pets can’t hold aggro nor can they heal
They're both fine
Smn’s only ‘healing’ spell is rendered useless pretty quick
I see
perhaps I'll better start with someone who excells at an aspect
I'm already leveling conjurer for focused healing class
so which one of them is better at dps ?
neither
all the dps are equal in most senses
more or less
blm ekes out a little at highest level, balanced by the fact blm has absolutely zero party utility
Aint the heal helpful if u dont have potions though @autumn charmer (low level btw)
Omg
Oh I see
which smn has none of
which dps do you play ?
emphasis on max health being roughly 115k
I'll sum megumin explosions
Its easy but hard to master
Well in my opinion
Then again I'm still leveling mines up
blm is tricky because many skills can be misleading if you don’t actually read what they do and infer their use
and its rotation changes often throughout leveling
I just ignore blizzard 1
ohhh
pretty useful
I'll do sum quest farming for him so I can get also the blm set
(no, this faq doesn’t exist for other jobs)
is there an LFG channel? I really don't want to queue for extreme trials there anymore. Spent 4 hours wiping on navel and striking tree already
party finder? ok i'll check that out
^ this. Queueing for ex in df is doomed for failure
still on free trial
nobody who knows how to do them uses duty finder unless they're mentors
so still trying the class
blm seems like fun
with the big damage and explosions
specially considering the fact there is tanks to help
Paladin is the easiest tank for me. Might try DRK when I unlock it
The only people outside of JP who use DF for extremes are confused or mentors who got shafted with them due to confused folks queueing
lol poor mentors
Hello ! I bought the game on ps3 several years ago, but i would like to play on pc now, do i have to buy the game again ?
Rip
yes
oh ok thank you
buy it again
will there be any sales or prices never change ?
hm, currently level 70 monk, haven't played them in about 2-3 years..but I'm really confused what's going on with my rotation
Why is it sometimes making me use True Strike or Twin Snakes twice or 3 times, before I can move onto the 3rd skill (Demolish / Snap Punch)
Nothings changed with the gcd rotation
lag, probably
Or you missed
are you hitting a lvl 80 dummy?
that would do it
that explains it
Duration of the buffs @tacit venture
ummm
You're missing
I see, lol thank you I was wondering like wat's going on
from an optimisation problem
Don't miss
which ones
should I start a new char
And its twin snakes every other combo and demolish every 3rd
no
for the BLM ?
No
so I can optimise the xp
you get an EXP bonus for subsequent jobs
quests in the overwaorld dont give good exp
!faq armourybonus
'How do I get the bonus experience from the Armoury?'
As long as you're playing a Disciple of War or a Disciple of Magic class that's a lower level than your highest level class then you're able to benefit from the bonus experience. You do not need to have a class at level 80 for the bonus to be active.
'How much is the bonus experience?'
You get +100% experience from levels 1 to 69, which then reduces to +50% for level 70 to 79. The difference in level between your current class and highest class does not change the amount of experience you get.
dungeons are how to level
would you advice to get the complete edition ,
hunt log to 15, highest duty to level after
Complete edition is everything in one package
40euros worth it ?
oh really ?
:hmmm: is it the Complete Edition or just Shadowbringers
the NA SE store no longer has it on sale
make sure you're buying the right one from the right region
I'm no European but I believe the complete edition is averaged around 50-60 euros
okay!
is it the good one ?
that should be the right one it looks like
sorry for anoying you with this
It looks like it
nah you're good
the way you buy the game is annoyingly obtuse
especially with the region locking
I would like to say that is the correct product
is there a way to find houses that might be available?
You check the wards at every main Aetheryte
Check the ward lists
ahh okay
do you have to trade for crafted weapons or can you buy them from the market place? if so can you tell if somethings crafted or just dropped?
If the price is green, it available to purchase
but i remember having a white mage on my account but after i loged in on the website i don't have it anymore
is it normal ?
btw
when paying the complete edition
there is no billing adress possibility
in my country
Are the field notes in bozja good for anything other than just lore?
Excess notes can be exchanged
you can trade them for coins or lootboxes at the historian
For coins or lockboxes
oh
Yeah but is there a reason to use them to begin with?
when buying ff14 is there a billing internationally
You have to use them to exchange excess
what is the difference between pc and pc download ?
PC is a physical box, I think?
ohhhh ok thank you
Are there any English chats or groups on the Japanese servers? Liking the server but the language barrier makes it slightly difficult (i know I could just transfer lol)
There's probably a few groups on kuja/Tonberry you can poke around

is there an easier way to obtain relic weapons now or do you still have to grind stuff out?
theyre always going to be a grind
dang that sucks
WHAT WHERE IS PA-PAYA???
Any idea how to get the question mark emote? Tried Google but nothing came up ;_; it's similar to the eureka emote one, if that's any help
i just started the quest and didnt do any grindin yet, but i heard theres alot too it. do i have to restart the quest from the beginning for each class?
it was offered with the make it rain event a few months ago
you can't get it anymore, currently
Yes
Depending on the relic, you can prefarm the items
Aww, that's a shame. I'm currently trying to get all the emotes I haven't got yet and liked that the most, thank you though
ahh, i started the game as a warrior but want a dark knight relic, do i have to finish my warrior first or will dark knight quest pop up when ready
Just abandon the step you're on as warrior when your Drk hits that step
ahh dope
You can have multiple running, just can't be on the same step
ill have to search when dk starts, thanks
Their first is anima
They dont have an arr one
Expansion jobs dont get relics added retroactively
o thats like level 70 right? i just hit 60
theyre easier to do at max lvl
ahh
since youre going to have to run like 10 dungeons and 12 trials
and unsyncing them is faster
thanks peeps, last question, can you buy crafted items from the market board or are only drop items able to be listed?
Yes
is there any way to tell? cause i want the claymore of the round crafted sword for all the glowey affects but idk which one is the right one
it says sellable on the tooltip
The one from the trial can't be sold
claymore of the round is the glowing crafted one
O
Dropped one doesn't glow
do I need to use Umbra Heart to make next Flare cost only 6,000 MP?
!faq blmleveling
Yes and no, consider that freeze gives 1 heart for that purpose
Is there a place where i can find some good summoner macros to start myself off with?
what classes bis share gear or very near share gear outside of smn/rdm
physical ranged dps
brd/mch/dnc all do?
@slate wave dont macro your gcds
mch needs a 2.5 gcd?
Gcd?
i think bard needs a 2.46
Im new i dont know the lingos
Ah
the skills labeled "spell"
yeah they dont ok
it seems there are such small variations and non meld swaps
cool
ty

what are the weekly tasks related to ishgard restoration? i just unlocked it (late i know...) and i wanted to see if i can get some stuff done before reset on tuesday
i dont think there were ever weeklies on it
craft to your hearts content
nice, i like some chill content

Yeah there aren't weeklies but they are adding reoccuring fates for 5.5 every 2 days ish
yeah that's why i wanted to to finally check it out after all this time ^^
what do you guys spend allagan tomes of poetics on? i already have all shire gear
!faq poetics
since the demicrystal nerf, basically nothing nowdays
thanks
personally i store my extra poetics as aetherial sealants and anima weapon tokens in case i feel like getting more of them in the future
my theory is i might not need them in the near future but at least it doesn't over cap and go to waste ^^
Alternatively
Trade for gear, and trade gear for GC seals
And use GC seals on... I dunno venture token, or GC headquarters teleport tickets
yeah i think there are 1000 different things you can spend it on depending on what content you do
Some GC seal items are somewhat okay to sell for gils
both ideas sound smart, thank you
Are the colors of flowers that you grow in flowerpots random? On gamerescape, the fertilizer formula for black flowers is the same as white flowers. I just tried the formula and I got yellow flowers 👀
to an extent they're random yeah
bit of a oddy
the different pomaces you use help it lean towards specific colors
but. what is ther emote where you flip threw pages in your book if your a summoner/astroligin
probably either Victory or Battle Stance
Is 5.5 gonna be the last (big) 5.x patch before EW or is there gonna be a 5.6?
5.5 is last major patch
whats ew?
endwalker, the next expac
ah right ty
And also the end of the current storyline
what website is this from?
That looks like a page from the balance discord, just with a different background
Will the 5.5 Maintenance start at Monday or will it just the usual time? (Dunno if anything got mentioned besides it not being a full 24h one)
They said it wont be 24h during the LL iirc
So we'll know when the Lodestone post is up

I'd like to be a Machinist. Is it a big benefit to get to level 30 as a leather wearing class so I'll already have gear? I'd rather start as a clothie if it's not going to make a big difference
You can just loot some gear for it as you initially level and keep it for machinist
Plus you get some basic boy starting gear iirc
ah ok. I have another character and ran into issues when switching classes early on where I was naked and gearless
New player here - playing Paladin - how hard is Castrum and Ultimate Weapon? I saw the video was long and am waiting on duty finder right now
Face roll as ALL fuck
Brain dead
alright lol
Seems no one wants to Q for it right now
Massive gear creep
yeah my ilvl is 113 right now
I take it most stuff right now is going to be a joke until shb?
Nah
Only old level cap stuff due to how sync works
its only long because of the unskippable cutscenes if you were wondering lol
lol
If you aren't in full Ironworks gear when you get to Heavensward it's gonna be a hell of a difficulty spike
Levelling dungeons can still punch your face in if you dont use cooldowns properly
In trash pulls
I saw there were cutscenes that you couldn't skip
All of them can't be skipped
I have Mythrite gear right now

Ooo wasting money on gear immediately replaced
Still payed too much
so i heard you can search unlock dungeons in party finder? could someone explain this to me? can you search higher level dungeons that give more exp?
You can only que for dungeons you can access with your current ilvl and level
Even if you have unlocked higher level dungeons
No cheating and lowkey griefing by being undergeared higher level dungeons you shouldnt be in yet
There is a damm good reason they added a minimum ilvl to levelling dungeons
Tldr: there's no way to get exp you aren't supposed to
I once had a MCH with 260 weapons, and worse accessories in a lvl 71 dungeon
Not even craft/gather are exempt from this
Yup
wut
That's before ilvl requirements
Not as bad as all the i50 healers in vault...or i130 healers in Bardams
It was the first month of ShB launch
Fucking kicked those boys so fast
I'm i251 atm 
You can get 270 when you hit Idyllshire
That's what I'm doing
I have four pieces of Orison gear on still from my 60 WHM quest
Everything else is Shire
Anyway, going back to the question: there is no way to surpass your normal rate of exp gain
Which is already generous to begin with
Yeaaaah, we petitioned for a looong while for that change
im a bit ahead of levels in msq so i didnt know if there was a way to get some xp from dungeons
for alts and stuff
Just do the highest level Dungeon again
Just que on alt job then swap back to continue story
Then hope it doesn't pop during a cutscene
Once you settle into lvl 50+, rate slows down to around 7 dungeons for 2 levels
which is ALWAYS lmao
@junior fog please take note that lvl 50/60/70 dungeons are crap for exp. They were the endgame dungeons for their respective expansions, so they weren't tuned for good exp
So if you have a lvl 50 job, you want to do lvl 47 dungeon
when you say 50 60 70 you mean like flat level 50 dungeons?
Yes
Yes
Old level cap stuff
They didn't have xp to begin with
Level cap dungeons don’t give exp because there was no reason to
man i just been grinding 50 out thinking i would get a ton of exp, thanks for that
Old level cap stuff is primarily for Tomestones
Or minions if that tickles your fancy
For the odd few that do
Once you got into lvl 51 dungeon, it goes back to around 1/3rd of a bar for the full run
Give or take
@junior fog yeah, the game doesn't tell you that.
They could have kept these 50/60/70 dungeons exp-less
But they probably think the players should at least get some exp for doing these dungeon to progress story
any quick way to gear up a lvl 60 alt? i got no tomestones left
Get more tomestone
Buy some stuff of market board
the materials i gather from the diadem that didn't pass the approval process is useless right? i can just sell it at a vendor?
ohhhh
Any "extra" over the multiple of 5 wont be approved
okay
Uhh when/at what level range should I use yellow scrips to get gear? I bought some for ilvl 200 level 60 gear but discovered I can buy ilvl 200 gear from vendors
The level 60 stuff is pretty bleh since most of the stuff is class specific, except for the belt/accessories
The level 70 best scrip set is all-class and very much worthwhile to get since it can last to 80
can you still do the hunt for rathalos?
yes
it's permanent content
how many people is required to reliably repeat rathalos ex unsync'ed?
2-3 people make it go easy
okay gotcha. I'll save up my scrips for that then
is there a shortcut to teleport into the firmament?
hey, somewhat unrelated question, but whenever i hover my cursor over an inventory icon my whole screen dims slightly. Is this a in game feature?
i can't see it on the aethernet shard network
need to interact with the big aetheryte
Big foundation aetheryte let’s you warp
oh ty
Hi friends. I'm on the free trial and i'm confused as to when it ends. Does it just stop when my character level hits 60? Or does it stop when I finish the lvl 60 main story quest?
It doesn’t end per se but you can’t do anything not in ARR or HW
Things added in Patches are completable
Okay, thanks

Are the current Bozja frags/skills expected to work on the new upcoming Bozja map?
No hard confirmation but I don’t see why they wouldn’t.
Eureka Pyros and Hydatos use the same actions so that’s a point towards yes.
Thats what I was thinking but I have no experience with Eureka/Hydatos
Hmm
I assume their worth will stay pretty steady too since they are so easy to get, sprite ones at least
There anybody that's online in the game that can help me with Defeat Barron von Quiveron III Esquire im on Famfrit at Camp Drybone
April 13th
Next week
is it possible to copy keybinds and hud layout from one character to another?
do you think it will be possible to clear all ShB high end trials unsynced with endwalker gear?
Solo, no.
what quest gives me a mount?
!faq mounts
'When can I get my first mount?'
The quest that allows you to use mounts, 'My Little Chocobo' is unlocked by completing the level 20 main story quest 'The Company You Keep'. The quest is located at the Grand Company base you chose and you'll need to buy the Chocobo Issuance from your Grand Company Quartermaster. You can get the 200 needed Grand Company seals by doing the main story quest that comes after 'The Company You Keep'.
'Are there any differences between mounts?'
Besides looks, all mounts are the same speed along with being able to fly. Some mounts allow multiple people to ride at once.
'Can I make my mount faster?'
Zones have one or two ranks of mount speed that increase the ground speed of mounts. The first rank comes from completing specific quests in the main scenario quests, with the second rank coming from Riding Maps which are bought with either Allied Seals, Centurio Seals, or Bicolor Gemstones. Mount Speed Boosts do not increase the flying speed of mounts.
How do I make an alt character?
Just create another character
where you can make it depends on what kind of sub you have, but yeah
Would you reccommend having both characters on the same DC? For me, I have an entry level sub
No
Main character is on Crystal
So, its better to have the alt on a different DC, like Aether
is there a way to make the opening title movie to stay as the one you selected instead of defaulting back to shadow dlc? Everytime you close the game and reopen it, it goes back to the latest dlc movie instead of what you told it to play
@gleaming garnet This should answer that question https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/mdwfbm/a_minor_nitpick_i_have_with_ffxiv/
Which dungeon was it that had a boss fight where there were little mammets running around with tethers or something?
There are no stupid questions, asking them is how you learn!
What lost actions are best to use for Castrum?
Dps increasing ones
Death is nice for prisoners to immediately kill the executioners
Oh wait I think it’s Halatali hard
Guessing I should prolly just go with crafting a linen cowl rather than a robe and hat. Stats look pretty much the same and it'll save me materials.

The only really important one is a DPs increasing essence
Why do Chocobo take so long to level up
How can I level it faster
Or do I just need to fight things with it
Fight things close to your level + the chocobo challenge logs for exp
feed it every hour
They’re essences and are basically consumable stances that last until you switch to a different job or exit the instance
!action essence of the savior
This one super buffs your healing as a non-healer
where is that
how
You need to be in a house/apartment and use the chocobo stables
As for things close to your level, that depends entirely on your level
You can “cheat” it by doing fates synced
They should be under companion, it’s fight 20/100 enemies near your level
that's a weekly challenge isnt it?
Yes
Ok soo... is it recommended to do ALL of the MSQ? (is it mandatory to advance?)... I'm at the level 38 point in the story (final flight of the enterprise), and the story is starting to feel a bit tedious.. not that interesting in what's going on at this juncture.. people have sworn that the story of this game is amazing so I'm tryign really hard to watch all the cutscenes and read all the dialogue so I don't miss anything important, but in all honesty the story feels like a bunch of bouncing around from one thing to the next without a lot of interesting plot or characters so far. Does it get better?
I went online to see how much I have left in ARR and it's staggering.. I've covered alot of ground but there are still hundreds more quests including the patches to get through before I can even start the FIRST expansion. Any advice?
Yes
Everything in the game is locked behind msq in one way or another
yeah like I got to the point before the second primal where I had to get wine grapes and vines for some guy to make wine for some other guy to get information on the titan or something? It all felt very yawn, and I was falling asleep at the wheel. Hoping it gets better lol
I would say that atleast pay attention to the voiced cutscenes until the story starts to really grab your attention and then go back go paying attention to every thing
hmm, yeah.. like is most of it skippable?
maybe I should jsut skip until I get to the voiced bits
voiced cutscenes are basically the important bits of the story, with the non voiced stuff being more indepth details
but you do lose some context if you don't pay attention to the non voiced stuff
I will say though, that the white mage quest line was really neat
for ARR though, its not that bad
I'm finished now until I get to "a new dawn" to continue white mage
but I liked the first part
ok.. I kind of switched to a skimming mode, where I'm skipping through dialogue but tryign to read quickly to get the jist of it, seems to be working ok so far.. so many characters with so many weird names though, lol.. hard to remember all the details when I need the context haha
for memory farming, which is faster, ridorana or rabanasty?
rabanastre
ty thought so!
you'll start figuring out the important ones as you go Cmax dw
Tbh farming via fates is faster then both now
just farm fates while in queue
so you'll always be guaranteed progress
rather than wondering when ithe next one is coming
did I miss the opportunity to participate in the firmament stuff?
Not really
all of it's completed on couerl, according to the board
You can still do everything but rankings
Its permanent content
oh so it's supply and upkeep now, lorewise
The rankings is over
You can always turn stuff in
The fates are coming back with the new update, via the fetes
it's kinda funny tho coming here like
francel: "hey we're rebuilding the firmament"
me: great [blinks]
the firmament: [is rebuilt already]
what exactly is the eureka questline?
ik its like zones and stuff but is it like an exp grinding place orrr
Eureka has its only leveling system entirely
And a few other things, like some mounts, glamour, hair and emotes
And only goes up to lv60
Quite. Since i believe its from cold warped boxes
Which is why eureka items are usually expensive, ontop of people not really liking/doing eureka to begin with
considering getting it for 700k gil aaaa
Is there a way to have it so you can use your scroll wheel to cycle through allies during savage?
I don't think wheel scroll can be used as a bind
That's what I thought. : (
unless you can change externally what wheel scrolling is mapped as
but i don't use PC so I can't tell you if that's an actual thing
I've seen some posts online about remapping the scroll wheel but I don't think I want to go that far.
One other question.
I have to think for a second how to phrase this so it makes sense.
Can I have 2 different.. say, "1" hot bars? One set that uses x amount of keybindings and the other uses a different set for a different job?
can't have multiple sets of keybinds
is there a list to know where alpha could be?
As in, birb?
bird. yes

r/ffxiv: A community for fans of Square Enix's popular MMORPG "Final Fantasy XIV Online", also known as FFXIV or FF14.
The base game starts with "A Realm Reborn" and currently has 3 expansions: "Heavensward", "Stormblood" and "Shadowbringers". A fourth expansion, titled "Endwalker", has been announced to launch in Fall 2021!
are job animations the same on all races?
Doesn't give exact coordinates but it tells you the areas
Believe so, yes
ye
for soft target settings
Nice to see it's not just me making typos 
I checked there but it was not an option to scroll through the party.
omg
I am stupid
I needed to scroll down.

birb is so adorable!
How are the queues for the ivalice raids nowadays? I really want the ponytail on my alt smh

Oh that's not so bad!
How do i unlock the quest for cutters cry dungeon?
The guy im supposed to talk to doesnt have a quest
Did you already pick it up?
Ah- im a dumbass tysm xD
No problem! Happens to the best of us

You're on Aether, right?
I got somebody with the Ixion mount already
kk
so, i'm new to ff14, picking my server
i'm not too big into RP, and my favorite part of playing an MMO are the raids/dungeons and progression
what data center/server has a good scene for that?
All of them
what region are you in
NA
Any of them work they're at the same location anyway
ah, ok
by the way, does this game not have settings?
my game is stuck in windowed and I cant find out how to get into the settings
KB/M or controller
kb m
huh
I know why it's not working
i'm using kb m but it thinks i'm using controller
for some reason
Character Configuration
Top left corner of the menu will have a KB/M and controller switch
Click on it to switch control schemes
thanks
I have an oooooold account with HW, and quite a few Recruit a Friend + Vet bonuses, and another with the Free Trial. I grabbed the Shadowbringers Complete set (the full set, not collectors etc) when it was on sale recently.
Unsure if I should ride the free trial until the wheels fall off and then use the key, or apply it to my old account from extremely early ARR 2.0-2.1. I know I'd miss out on the 30 days, but I'll live.

everything again except the hw and sb raid step
it is but that’s intentional anw
relics are meant to keep everyone busy between patches ¯_(ツ)_/¯
where is the aesthetician?
IMO I think either works fine, both accounts have access to the same content until you use the Complete Edition key.
The ARR story has received a good trim in patch 5.3 and cut out a bunch of the filler steps/quests
interact with the crystal bell in your inn room at the city-state adventurer guilds and some expansion cities. they're marked on the map with a bed icon
it says i am not authorized
I think the original npc is in limsa somewhere?
you need to complete the quest "beauty is scalp deep"
limsa lominsa upper decks
is where it is
are tomestone of poetics an event or are they permanent?
was there no easter event this year?
oh ok
Poetics are for old expansions' endgame stuff
no
easter seems to be cancelled this year or delayed
hm how come
Covid
5.5 aligns with the timing too
they're probably busy or it might roll out with the patch who knows
i just got the glamour stuff
like the glamour prism?
kinda confused on what it does
Glamour Prisms allow you to change a piece of gear's look
!faq glamour
'What is Glamour and how do I unlock it?'
Glamour is the process of changing an equipment's look into a different item with the use of Glamour Prisms. You can unlock the ability to glamour by doing the level 15 quests 'If I Had a Glamour' in Vesper Bay, West Thanalan. Although not required, you can unlock the ability to dye gear with the nearby quest 'Color Your World'. You can get the Orange Juice needed by talking to the nearby Merchant & Mender. Items used for glamouring are not lost upon use.
'How do I glamour? Where do I get more Prisms?'
Glamouring is done by right-clicking (Square or X on controllers) on the equipment you want to glamour and choosing the option 'Cast Glamour'. After clicking this you choose the item you want the appearance on the right half of the menu that opened up. You can get more Glamour Prisms by either crafting them after completing the quest 'Absolutely Glamourous', buying them from your Grand Company Quartermaster, or buying them from the marketboard.
shes not letting me to the quest to unlock dyes tho
you might've done it already since it's a super quick quest
did you buy the orange juice from the merchant?
oh no lol
Would anyone be willing to share screenshots of their different job hotbars from PC for each job? I have my SCH, SMn, WHM, AST (and BLM-ish) kinda laid out right for me and correctly placed for priority to the important skillls but newer to the other jobs. Working out best place for some of the combo procs in things like monk is bending my mind a bit. Feel free to DM so not to clog up channel and all takes very appreciated.
Ask in the role lounges or take a look in #protips-and-ui
Oh a whole channel for this. Stupid me. Thank you!
if an item's icon has a small circle in the top right it's dyeable
ohhh ok ty
Also I’m using a MacBook Pro keyboard (but have ordered a gaming PC - exciting!) so currently a bit hampered. Thanks again.
If you have a controller I'd honestly just use that if you don't have a MMO mouse
Hi Does anyone know of a full story recap of FFXIV and all expansions and the updates in between, up to ShB?
Is there some quest step that requires syrcus tower clears? I think the roulette has only given me that one for the past 10 times I've run it
The purpose of this document is to compile the story of Final Fantasy XIV so far for new players who wish to understand the lore but need more detail than the official website offers or players who wish to review the story quickly without having to replay or rewatch it. Final Fantasy XIV takes...
this has everything up to the end of SB patch quests
how do i go fishing
its part of multiple reasons:
1: The Crystal Tower 24-man duties are the only ones that the story need, with the rest being optional.
2: One of the newest steps for the shadowbringers relic weapon wants you to run the Crystal Tower raid series as an option for getting tokens needed for that step.
3: People don't like queueing into the HW/SB/SHB 24-mans due to not being braindead easy and forcefully lower their item level by unequipping gear until the only duties the roulette can give them is the crystal tower series.
also how do i go to the housing districts in limsa limosa
Was looking for a video really but this is amazing, thank you so much.
assuming you already unlocked Fisher in Limsa Lominsa Lower Decks, go to most surfaces of water and cast your line out with the Cast action. You'll need to attach bait to your line with the Bait action.
And then you use the Hook option once you see exclamation points above your head
how long has this ishgard restoration been going on...?
It's ended now
quick question, what mats do you need for the relic upgrade quests, i was wondering if i could save up before i even started them
The only thing that's ended is actually building up the place.
this graphic is wrong i think? ... the hat is glamoured over by something undyeable
I just grabbed it from google images looking for a different one that showed it better. /shrug
I have a PS5 and PS4 controllers which I can have a go with. Just thought it would blow my mind now. But I suppose a two button mouser, the ASD movement keys and a row of number buttons may be limiting hahaha
fair enough lol
!faq zodiac
!faq anima
@junior fog
ty
no one knows how to visit housing district in limsa lominsa?
It's a
in Lower La Noscea
"Home is where the Heart is" or something along those lines
ok, thanks what i needed to hear!
do i have to join the fishermans guild
if you want to unlock fisher then yes.
Crafting and gathering classes are complete classes of their own
they have their own actions, gear, and stats.
is the extra retainer price included when paying for subscription?
yes
any rough estimate on how long it takes to get cronus lux?
and do you have to start from deathbringer to get to it?
Depends on if it's your first relic or s subsequent one
first relic
Correction: maybe like, a week. Depends on how much poetics grinding you feel like doing
Since you can't purchase and stock up on the materials ahead of time
ahh thanks, would i have to start from the begginning? i think thats how all that works
Yes, since the deathbringer you get for the anima weapon is a different weapon entirely
!faq anima
yea someone above posted me this, thats so much mats man
it's mainly just a poetics, unsync, and FATE farm
At least it's not Zodiac where it's unsync, FATES, and unsync
So many unsyncs
And fates
And treasure maps
And fates
Have I mentioned unsyncs yet
are you able to get every chocobo skill eventually?
At level 20
Has anyone ever wrongfully received a housing demolition notice?
An fc member of mine received an email saying that the fc house will be demolished in 10 days, but the listed address is a plot in the goblet, yet our fc house is in shirogane, and we have fc members entering the house everyday
Not received a wrongful notice no, have you checked out whose house is in the goblet?
Got a durability notice and went into a trial. What happens if it does break?
Nothing happens to the item that broke, but it will no longer count towards your stats
The email says "free company house" and none of us in the fc own a private house
It sounds really weird yeah. Just looking for hints, and the name of the person who owns the goblet house might be one. It might also be entirely unrelated.
Ok ty
I'll check it out when I get home
pld or drk?
Depends on if you want to be classic edgy or holy new age edgy
but like, can you be more specific? xD
is the CLL timer same for every server?
unique to every instance
need some help on how to lvl 53 mining quest the HQ mythrite ore one

Equip your job quest gears
Should give you better odds
or you can just buy the ores from mb
I think you have a skill called Preparation too, it will let you see perception requirements. I think.
what's better, crit hit +4 materia, direct hit rate +4 materia or determination +3 materia?
Crit is best
then dh ~= det
but dont worry about melding til end game
like actual end game raiding
am i supposed to use the party finder when trying to do a savage difficulty raids? what do i do when there isnt any parties doing that specific raid?
make a listing yourself
how do i get the book writing animation as summoner?
im just swiping my book
Victory then
and without sitting XD
No idea then, those are basically the only emotes that are job-specific
Do you have a picture or a gif or something showing what it is you want, perhaps?
Final Fantasy 14 is a fantastic MMO with many different jobs you can choose from. Here we look over all 17 combat jobs in a very VERY serious manner... Obviously.... Was there any doubt?

Press F for no cooll emotes
Yes, you get the normal exp for the dungeons
Yes, it's recommended for you to do Haukke since it's the highest unlocked one
roulette just gives bonus
thank you!
There's any way to request support from square enix/ffxiv for account stuff that ins't automatic replies? I got 4 answers and none resolved my issue, some even do stuff that I didn't ask...
https://support.na.square-enix.com/contact.php?id=5382&la=1
Select Accounts/ID, Login Issues, enter whatever for details and click next twice.
that'll show options for email, chat, and phone support
Thank you! Will try that
Just want to add to what Platt said, *highest unlocked leveling dungeon
When you hit like, level 50/60/70 dungeons you wouldn't want to run those since they were the old level caps and those dungeons purposefully don't give a lot of xp
If for example you are level 60 you'd want to do the level 59 dungeon
Is it not possible to start the SUM ARR relic quest if you haven't completely gone to Zeta with the SCH ARR weapon? The SCH weapon is at Zenith and I have no current weapon quests going at all, but Gerolt only has "Up in Arms" for me.
Have you completed the level 50 job quest for Summoner?
_______________________________________________>
pat pat
Yup, that'll be it. Thanks 🤣 I haven't touched SMN since I unlocked SCH.
I just read that you apparently lose your house if you don't log in after a month, is this true for apartments too?
No, apartments are forever.
Dope

what're some good logos to run around Bozja with as a black mage? I did castrum a couple of times but never really found out when I should be using steel sting
In terms of CLL you really only need Steelsong for the boss that uses various elemental mechanics.
For general Bozja usage Bravery is a small but easy damage buff to keep on yourself and the party.
ah
Essence of the Veteran is your “Tank” essence and is helpful for staying alive.
And Essence of the Savior + Cure 2 is very nice for self-sustain, Cure 3 or Cure 4 for party healing.
Is the flying height limits different for different mounts?
No
Also I remember reading somewhere that we need to do a quest called I believe I can fly to unlock flying but u unlocked it right after finishing ARR MSQ. Am I missing something?
Probably looking at old resources
Ah I see
Arr msq was largely reworked in 5.3
Makes sense, ty
For reference we're in 5.45 atm
Are there other rotation builder tools than this https://ffxivrotations.com/
Preferably one in which oGCD and GCD abilities can somehow be denoted seperately
hisemna?
Seika
yasha is outdated/obsolete
I'm assuming glamour purposes
it's the unupgraded form of Asuran gear
yasha was effectively removed in 5.3
get Asuran instead
but i need yasha to get asuran?
Just buy asuran to in forgotten knight
What's the best way to farm poetics for a level 60? After the dailies it looks like your options are to queue for random instances and hope to get a new player, spam frontline for 50/match, or spam the 3 ARR raid's for 100/raid
!faq poetics
that's only if you still had yasha gear lying around from before 5.3
oh
If you lack seals just do the lv70/60 weekly b rank and you'll have enough
Then just unlock it
That poetics faq doesn't answer my question
It's level locked
It's for what to spend them on and for shadowbringers
Video guide on how to get more Tomestones of Poetics
There are 2 links dude
It's for shadowbringers. Level 60's can't access shadowbringers
im level 74 is that not high enough?
Plenty
it goes over the various ways to get poetics and applies to everyone, even tho there is likely content you can't access
I just saw a fellow player with two chocobo companions. What's up with that?
A smaller and a larger one
is it no the clan hunt board im supposed to go to?
these ones
Always do 
have you done the quest "Let the Hunt Begin!" at your grand company HQ?
No but you need to do the unlock quests in order
Poétics tomes, spam ARF, 150 poétics per run
I'll post this question in Kubo channel
first unlock for hunts is at your GC HQ
okay thank you
Thanks!
How to get poetics doesn't really change from expansion to expansion
if i join domeone in Deep dungeon on v 50 did i get the access to it aswell?
Doing the daily bonus of 50/60/70 roulette is also important to get poetics
Daily Netflix (Main Scenario)
What kind of "fewer rewards" are we looking at here?
Not enough to matter since you get all the loot for yourself
which crafter/gatherer level job quests are important? just wanted to know what i can skip to before i miss something vital
Pretty much all of them are intertwined
Except Fisher and culinarian
pretty much should just do them all, since one of the major skills is at 65
for crafters
gatherers several skills are given from class quests
plus is exp, and gear so
just wanted to know if i could skip until a certain point rather than
going there and back again if im doing firmament stuff
Is skill speed the casting speed or cool down?
cooldown
Spell speed is a separate metric
No way to reduce cast times?
materia
i would say at the very least by 70 go back and do your class quests
70-80 is a bit different since they're grouped and the facet quests can effectively only be done by one class
For pld you suck it up especially since you'll get conditional instant cast during shadowbringers
but they give a lot of exp and yellow scrips so i would strongly recommend doing them
I'm a trial player, so capped at 60 😅
What's the stat called?
PLD is the only job that could actually use both skill and spell speed
For cast time
Spell speed
you're...not really going to want to meld spell speed tho
clemency is the only cast you'll have at 60
Cast times of skills: materia that gives skill speed
Cast times for spells: materia that gives "spell speed"
and if you're casting that then....
Only black mage wants spell speed
you have a problem since you really shouldn't be needing to cast it
Yeah I'm BLM
then that's fine
Do your anima relic for the best looking blm weapon
which is that?
Is there any way i Can get more than 400 place in glamour dresser?
no
Okay ty

Check for what can be rebought, like your artifact gear for example also you can store extra gear on retainers but no outright expansions there
I bought a physical Complete Edition for ps4 (playing on ps5) is there any way to play this game without a disk?
how hard is this "Titan" being?
all this buildup is making me hope it's a worthy fight
i tried it yesterday for 50 mins, failed because some people couldnt avoid aoe attacks but thats ok, tried again later with another team, we go it done in 6 mins, first try
a lot of these bosses are team efforts
is it just the Titan guy himself, or an entire dungeon-like thing to get to him?
