Yes
Also DPS stance provides an additional 20% or so
If you're in Scaevan gear then you are probably sub 80 anyway so personally I wouldn't worry about it at all
ah nvm then
how do you get relic armor/weapons?
Oh
which ones
Anima easiest
only tank mimicry directly changes your stat numbers, being defense and magic defense
!faq anima
Ah I c
For dyeable gear, you just buy the old tomestone gear for centurio seals at the inn in ishgard
Ig I've to look for gears with more crit
At ilvl 400 you only really can pick between Scaevan and Alpha scape so
can you get an anima gunblade?
no
Expansion jobs don't get relics for expansions they weren't around for.
so Gunbreaker and Dancer only have Shadowbringers relics
Since gunbreaker was introduced in Shadowbringers, they only have the ShB relic for now
They'll also get Endwalker relics come next expansion
Padjali and kinna
is there a guide for them?
no, but it's pretty self explanatory
The quests tell you exactly what they need and how you can get them
Also shinryu weapons
Alphascape glamours
And good ol ultimates
Let's embark on an epic journey to obtain the fabled Anima Weapons!

@wispy peak
This helped me tons
Do we know if the last relic step will drop with 5.5 or will that be delayed for a tinier patch within 5.5?
been told last step comes at .75 usually ¯_(ツ)_/¯
5.55 most likely
Do we have any hints on what might be needed? Like DRs for example?
based on past relics, sth unrelated to all previous steps
Why do people AFK in limsa
no reason for me to do the savage version then 
A lot of people say stuff like time to afk
I'd highly doubt they'd lock the relic behind savage DR
They usually use Limsa as their hub because easy access to MB and other things
Well yeah, the more people you have the more people will be afk
They probably just leave their game on while going for groceries or whatnot
dang it, the dyeable laws order armour is locked behind DRs isn't it?
i do it incase someone comes up and wants to erp with me
You can always just say no...
you know i cant
Yes you can.


What's erp
Oh no
in all legitimacy, most of what i do is raid, i tab back and check pf when i have time
i dont really close the game because i dont see why
Is there any poetic gears for lv 80
eh, fair
just the weapon
it's the very first step for it
Eh nothing compared to anima
so far ShB relics are okay-ish on the grind, yeah
I bet you're not ready for the 36 synced alliance raid runs you need
Wait 36?!
I'll take that over fate farm any day
Why the actual fuck
:)
No I mean the step that requires 36 raids only needs to be done for one weapon
Oh thank god
Any weapon after that doesn't need it
But you do need 15 items from either potd or Delebrum normal
Just some drop from potd or an item you get from completing DR
Potd is fine
It's over pretty fast
DR is way faster because it's more reliable though
I'll also level up some classes
potd is a random drop
Potd is a % chance to drop
But it's basically guaranteed past floor 100
and DR is fine honestly, it's just annoying when you have no healers and people don't use essences
do potd artifacts drop by floor or by 10?
by 10
figured. ok
But we cleared it with 16/24 people last night after some left
so even that can be done
took forever though
past floor 100
Dammit
past 100 isn't fully guaranteed, just a lot higher than pre-100
:))))
I think 150+ is when it's basically 100%
More like Corona threw off their plans so rather than rush new content they go with what they can use and not crunch
Gotta remember that you can't just throw game developers at a problem and hope it'll fix itself
That's how you get Anthem
And well, relics are supposed to be a grind
Grind, time, and skill
Relic, tomestone, and raid
I think the ShB relic is one of the most lenient ones. You don't even have to redo like 50% of it on second+.
That and a series of unfortunate events but this probably not the chat for it

Also will the last step of the relic weapon retain customisation? I just tossed whatever stats into it because I'm using cryptlurker.

it's safe to assume so since all the previous relics did
but changing the stats is very easy for the resistance weapon and only needs a poetics item
I've finished the Stormblood base MSQ and done no patch content MSQ so far. I started the Alliance raid storyline but my friend who is a few cutscenes ahead of me says it references stuff he thinks might be from Stormblood patch content MSQ. Is this the case?
Anything locked behind patch content msq will remain locked until you do said patch content
Similar to how people couldn't start the final Eden raid series until after finishing 5.3
may i ask what do i need to do to not have my house removed from ffxiv? i got a letter from them today even when i was in the house the other night and placed items in it
Enter it at least once every 45 days I think, I can't remember the exact number
also many quests have a feature where the dialogue is adjusted to reflect your msq progression, so you and your friend might have different dialogue if you're at different points in the msq @slender sphinx
ohh cool so i dont need to do anything else! thanky ou @warm snow
Is there somewhere which lists the total amount of EXP gained per 70+ dungeon?
im assuming the exp shown in trusts is the amount of total EXP?
minus rested
around that much, yeah
can a free trial account join a guild? (or whatever they`re called)
No
If you want access to any social features outside of friends list you'll have to buy Starter in some form or fashion
I will probably
how to get reinvited to nn after reaching shb?
if you are still a sprout you have to ask a mentor
if you are no sprout anymore then you can't
i lost my sprout
Then the only way to get into nn is to become a mentor yourself
ic
What cypher is saying
how to become a mentor?
there are different requirments for crafting and combat mentors
You can check them at the hall of the novice npc
ok thx
tl;Dr complete all 3 Shadowbringers role quests, do a lot of instances and get 1500 comms
Or, level a crafter and gatherer to 80 and make 300 collectibles
ic
the 1500 commends is the part that takes time because you can't really control it
Do note there's a cap of 100 mentors per server's novice network
So if it's full you won't be able to join it anyways
How do I know if I have rested exp
your EXP bar will have blue or a darker yellow/brown/orange in it
past where your current experience is
where can I see the hunting bills that I accepted?
do I have to go all the way back to grand company?
they're in key items
On what it depends when you gather resources to get HQ ones?
in your inventory
ty
your Perception stat
Only?
gathering is chance to obtain, perception is chance to HQ
you can also use your actions to increase HQ chance
i forget the names of which specifically, check your tooltips
Its ok got it thank you
Did they tell us yet what Itemlevel will be needed for the Nier Raid?
Caps at what atm, 520?
Oh
Hope it's 500 tbh
495 means people could grind matoyas relict
While 500 would be exarchic armor or tomestone armor
that's exactly the point though
Also 5.5 brings a new dungeon too which has a higher ilvl anyway
495 also means you don't need to grind that hard to get in
Just a few Allegory + some new dungeon gear and voila
Tbh I just want to make money out of this to fund a mansion maybe
people will still buy exarchic I think
Though not as much as when it dropped obviously
Hope so
When I hit 60 dont I get 60 class gear?
you do via your lvl 60 job quest
Okay
This also assumes that you aren't playing as a Stormblood job since they don't have level 60 job gear since they are a Stormblood job @strong saddle

Exarchic gear will probably jump up a bit since we'll be able to augment it in 5.5
Does materia price go down after a patch
not at the beginning of a patch
especially VIII crit and dh
crafting and gathering have stayed more or less the same since 4ever
I c
where is the NPC that allows you to buy the emperor's new clothes items?
For the one in Western Thanalan at Vesper Bay it's Goberin at x12.2, y15
You might need to level up a crafter to 15 and do the quest "Absolutely Glamourous" at Vesper Bay to unlock the vendor
thanks
How do I sheathe weapon on console
press the l3 button down when you're not targeting an enemy
hi all. I have ARR and Heavensward, but just started playing a couple days ago. loving it! Is there any reason to purchase Stormblood or Shadowbringers now, before I level up to whatever my current cap is? Would I be able to use any new starting jobs or races or cities or whatnot? Any new options for new level 1 characters to use or enjoy? thanks!
Buying Shadowbringers lets you change/make to viera/Hrothgar and unlock stormblood/Shadowbringers jobs at 50/60
Everything else is story locked
^ other than that you get nothing for getting the expansions and stuff before hitting level 60
so... bunny girls. gotcha. thanks 🙂
Unless you are really into certain deluxe edition items I guess
but those are purely cosmetic
Worth noting that you can always just make a character, finish 2.0 main story, get the free race change and then just eventually when you do get the expansions race change then
But that's up to you on if that's something you actually want to do
Yeah, the last quest in the 2.0 storyline gives you an item that would let you completely revamp your character if you want
(minus name)
true
ooo! that reminds me! is there a way to transmog or skin or whatever your stuff? if my new body armor for example has great stats but I really like the "look" of my old one, is there a way to wear the new but look like the old?
!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.
Yes
ooo! thanks! LOL I'm level 20 something but not yet done the MSQ high enough to ahve seen those yet
side quest lover here
thanks again!
in the past has it been easy to redo stats on the relic weapons? i'm not super concerned for the 515 step, but it's possible i'll have the finished 535 relic before i'm BiS on the job that uses it. if it's difficult i'd probably do stats based around eventual BiS but it would be nice to be able to adjust as i gear up
should be all done though
you didn't take the keycard before getting on the elevator
you didn't click the console at the bottom of the elevator
oh shit
i went back for the key
(This is why I always write a message in chat when the game says there is someone new in that dungeon)
hey, how this guys is flying ? and whats that sword ? (when I check his gear this is another sword)
god i cant believe i forgot the damn key \
lol it's arr, things aren't made too clear
he's flying I swear
No
he floats in the air
he's just standing on the tarp
god i suck at this game lmao
Oh wait
yeah
without touching it and doing little bounces
that's a bought emote, the sword comes with the emote
^
pretty expensive lol
oh ok
on mogstation or something like that comes with a 200€ figure ?
!faq Fester
so not available on mogstation ?
I think they intended for the emote to come with the 200 figurine
pretty sure it's limited
Really?
not too sure
without touching it
To be fair this would be completely normal just with the way your model and the floor would collide but yeah it's 100% the Omega emote
Yeah
buy the statue
I know the shiva one is limited
get the emote
!action fester
Deals unaspected damage with a potency of 100.
Additional Effect: If target is suffering from a Bio or Miasma effect inflicted by you, Fester potency is increased to 200 for one effect, or 300 for both
Effect only applies when the original spells were cast by you.
Aetherflow Gauge Cost: 1
I mean you can't see on a screenshot but his feets are loose and he's doing little bounce in the air
Oh its an action
yeah, it's the emote lol
yes again, hence it's the emote
they do a fancy spinny thing then hover
200 well spent
cool emote
not that I'll shame other people for where they put their money of course
it is really cool
I like the one with bahamuth sunflare too
yep good too
talking about figures, I hope the one with endwalker collector will be good
I think i'll buy it (will be my first physical collector expansion)
ahhhh yeah
Hey, the Lv80 MSQ quests that give 0 EXP now, will they be "upgraded" to give EXP later come the next expansion? I went through the DLC much too quickly to pay any attention to the post-story MSQ missions and if they were indeed different.
yes but it won't be much
the experience given from them will be intentionally low so you don't become too overleveled when entering Endwalker leveling story
How come the crafting menu says I don't have the item? https://i.imgur.com/gJzVIHr.png
I just bought it from the junk monger
within the craft menu, you have to actually click the slot where the blunt weapon goes, and choose it
For items that don't stack
it won't let me
You have to explicitly select them
it's a very weird system owing to the fact that maaaaybe you have more than one, and want to use a specific one
Make sure it's not in your Armoury Chest. ^_^
It never comes up again past level 50
maybe because I don't have crystals to craft it?
That would also be the message when you're out of crystals, I think
That would be it, yeah
oh ok
Show the full screenshot?
Crystals are no less a material required then anything else, so
Yeah, not enough fire and earth crystals
it is harder than your average dungeon but not that hard
Most of the mechanics are pretty forgiving
Maybe watch a guide before you go into each one but it isnt too bad
it still says I don't have the required materials.. I have the crystals now https://i.imgur.com/ydTB8Rp.png
select the scimitar
it give me the error message when I click there
I have it https://i.imgur.com/HUixmAf.png
try putting it in your inventory
worked
ty
does it matter if I craft a high quality one for the quest? will I get high quality purple weapons?
High quality is only for crafted items
Did they just enable the feature to switch between scenario and avatar for trusts?
Or is that post-80?
As in max all trusts
Personal Tier list from someone?
My personal tier list:
tier lists are dumb
on a more serious note though
i know but some classes feel just unrewarding XD
They really are not worth listening too since all jobs are very close in terms of balance
Well a tier list won't tell you anything about how rewarding a job feels
as a SMN i feel Powerful with my big shooty boom booms and as a Bard i feel like pew pew
yeah but that's personal preference
there will be people who like brd more
if you just want the favourite job of people and the why then #general-discussion might be a better place anyway
to be clear, there's absolutely no difference in any way between whispering dawn and angel's whisper, right?
Nope
weird. ok.
Its just named different because of spaghetti code and seraph being a new entity
What’s a good way to wirelessly connect a PS4 controller to my PC to play FFXIV? Just connecting the controller to Windows bluetooth seems iffy. Sometimes it works in the game, sometimes it doesn’t. And the trackpad button doesn’t work.
Same with the fey illum equivalent
Can you create hotbars? Wanted to drop all my Companion commands into a separate hotbar, like for Pets.
character config -> hotbar settings
You can have 10 hotbard

What's the best macro crafting optimizer site to use?
The one I am currently using hits 100% quality and keeps adding quality
Teamcraft
Hello! I've been gone since about 2014 and recently came back. Lightning Returns (yeah, that long ago -- came back because of the recent XIV relogin promo). I have her attire, but I don't seem to have her weapons (or the style) in my inventory. Did they disappear or got changed into something else?
For the weapon try /isearch "Blazefire Saber" and then if it lists it, right click and select Search in Inventory, or whatever that option is called
For the style, do you mean the hairstyle?
(on a PS4) I have her armour (chest, legs, gloves and boots). I don't remember if my Miqo'te had the hair. 😄
Still have the unusual parcels though. Oddly enough
If you unlocked the hair, it wouldn't be in your inventory. It would show up in the hair list when you call the aesthetician though
Oooooh! Okay. I have a coupon for her too. (or him)
What's the peak hours in Kujata
I'll check tonight on that. Just the weapons, was wondering. ugh.
"Peak hours" are the same on any server. Late afternoon - evening local time.
I c
Think like, 4pm - 9pm local time.
There would be a quest icon in the map in the enclave
and it kinda depends on what part of the restoration you are on but he's usually like, the block behind the donation stall
ish
If I'm trying to use steam for controller support, which binary do I point it to to indicate "I'm playing FFXIV"?
(so many binaries for this game)
will i start unlocking merchants/stuff as i go on with the domans restoration or is it just a visual thing?
week 4 so far and got nothing really out of it
You mean like actual music?
There's a Junkmonger that sells some stuff as you donate more
like I see ppl do in the cities
they use an app called bard music player
Yes, it's a feature bards can unlock via doing a quest
you insert a midi file there
i don't see them. perhaps it still is not here after only 4 weeks of donations?
is there any guide how? i can't find it on internet, thanks
Thank u
be careful not playing these songs in public because you might get a ban (copyright)
It requires a total of 110k gil
in donations
They should show up after 6 weeks I think. 110k dontated
what? lmao
they ban u for that...?
bard's play any music all the time
When does monk get its meter
you don't get banned for anything
you can get banned for that
you won't
it's just worth mentioning
if some player reported you for playing a copyrighted song, they can ban you for that.
It's a legal thing that they have to warn you not to play copyrighted music, so it is technically against TOS, but I haven't heard of anyone actually getting banned. It's not like Warner or Sony or whoever is sitting in Limsa listening so they can issue DMCA takedowns.
pretty sure it's not a ban but a warning the first time, and anyway you won't get any issue no one reports that and no one cares about that
So when I do Blu sync trials
If there are different roles they still get the spell
You don't have to be Blu?
2 part question : what class has the least amount of buttons/simplest rotation /short rotation for both melee and ranged dps?
Dancer is the simplest job in the game
Yes, you have to be BLU to get the spell
Dragoon probably? Monk may actually be simpler if you devote some braincells to remember the positionals
Probably dragoon with its static rotation...or Ninja which is only busy every 60s but ZZZZZZ outside it
But after run they all left cos they got spell but they weren't blu
anything but Samurai really
which is still easy to get into, just harder tor each the top
Samurai is low skill floor high skill ceiling
A lot of button pressing
xD ty!!!
Maybe they got it in a previous run. I've seen some groups with BLUs and like one tank or healer. They get the spell for the BLUs and then swap jobs so the others can get the spell.
Ahh
What about mch? Looks like little bit of buttons although I'm not sure
Prob talking out of my ass
I was like so no wants spells?
Hopefully they got it
oh ty guys♡♡♡

bard has proc management to think about
I just hope summoner doesn't get new rotations 
so i guess it's the most complicated ranged job
O god x ,x
High apm
Ty for that hehe ♡♡♡ ty guys!!!
After seeing someone’s Nexus glam I gritted my teeth and made some progress on my own Zodiac, but I just got to the Animus phase (with the books) and this seems, erm, soul-crushingly tedious. Am I overreacting or is this truly a long and painful process?
The books are widely considered to be the worst part
The rest of the stuff, including the Anima for the next stage, has been annoying but manageable. This truly killed my motivation lol
Hi I'm doing the zodiac weapons quest and just finished all the task in one of the brave books
What do I do with the book to complete the quest?
Turn it in to the guy at Mor Dhona, in the platform across the road from the poetics stall
Near where the doman adventuring guild quests start
What counts as a line for wondrous tails? rows columns and the diagonals?
The cat girl?
Yes
!faq wondroustails
Wondrous Tails are unlocked by speaking to the Unctuous Adventurer for the quest Keeping Up with the Aliapohs in Idyllshire upon reaching level 60 with at least one combat class.
Speaking with Khloe Aliapoh afterwards will give you a journal that has a series of random combat challenges to be completed which award you with a sticker that appears on the right-hand side of the journal. This journal can be accessed from the key items section of your inventory.
Your goal is to try and collect 9 stickers from completing those challenges. The stickers will appear in a random location on the 4x4 grid, but can occasionally align and form a straight line of 4, which can award you with additional rewards. Multiple line orientations are possible, with 3 lines being the most difficult to accomplish. Here is an image that shows how your stickers can be lined up so you can have the highest chance of 3 lines. Use the 'second chance' points you earn from completing content with new players to shuffle your 4x4 board around to try for 3 lines! To view what the possible rewards are for the Wondrous Tails or to see when they reset, use the !wt in #kupo-bot-spam Good luck!
Picture at bottom of faq shows all 3 line combos
thanka!
If it's this person I'm not seeing a option to turn in. Only discard a ongoing book or get a new book
I think you just get the next book
It's been a while, but I think she'll then say something like "then I'll take the one you have"
Oh wow that's unintuitive because the part before says picking up a new book will make you lose the one you're holding
Typical ARR~
why is monk considered bad in the current meta?
Could you confirm that this is what you do? I am at this stage too and would hate to lose a completed book
I dunno, who says that?
Sure idm losing a book it was easy to fill out
it is not
mnk is absolutely viable
monk is perfectly fine
The thought of completing all 9 is honestly bumming me out lol
people don't like because monk is much harder to play than the other melee dps classes
it was in a bit of a rough spot before the 5.4 changes
oh
but now there is no reason to not have one
maybe what i was seeing was outdated
where do i unlock scholar?
im having a lot of fun with it
Honestly, with the 5.4 changes I wouldn't even say it's harder to play
gotta get it all levelled up though
It wasn't in a rough spot it just had some bad mechanics that made certain encounters unfun
that's what i meant but sure
The books don't need to be turned in to get completion credit. The final one doesn't even get turned it. You have to discard it to get rid of it after the animus step is done.
Eh I remember trying to research what the good classes were when I started this game and stuff was all over the place and thoroughly unhelpful because of all the changes stuff over time
i think monk is also a skill filter, due to its higher difficulty........people who main monk generally (from what i notice) are very good at their class, and in general good at the game
Have Arcanist at lvl 30, complete the msq called Sylph Management and the quest should start right in the arcanist guild
monk isn't too hard, it just takes more practice since there's so many more positionals
No you can play monk just fine
starting samurai at 70 probably didnt help me
Monk also has way more tools to make positionals not matter
I think I remember shying away from monk because I heard they have a lot of skills and rotations and I play on PS4 so I prefer not having to use more than 2 hotbars
ill get a better understanding of the monk kit over time
It's a bit like the old "black mage is hard because you can't move" statement
The generalisation that monk players are skilled is just incorrect
while it also has the most movement tools of all casters
If anything monk has a pretty straight forward and static rotation
just gotta remember which skill has which positional and you're golden
@rough fossil yup that's the case. Complete your book and go talk to her
Even if you still have the old book she will sell you a new one for 100 poetics
Man I main dragoon and just spam True North whenever it’s available. The update to the enemy circles will be appreciated though
i just wanna punch and kick shit
I only use true north during my chaos thrust combo and the uuhh skill after full thrust
just remember some certain moves do more damage from rear, others from flank and you're golden
i screw up some times when im alternating between my buffs
isn't that dragoon, not monk?
What is TEA?
So out of curiosity. A buddy of mine is about to start playing ffxiv again but he's on the primal data center and we're on the crystal data center. Would he have to pay for a character transfer to be able to have complete access to playing with us on the goblin server (on the crystal data center) without any issues or is he A-ok just being on the primal data center still?
ultimate fight
The Epic of Alexander
The epic of Alex
the epic of alex
The epic of Alexander, Alexander ultimate
We have more alexander
Ugh I was swimming in poetics and then the Anima quests gobbled them up. What I would give for a raised cap
only if you enjoy suffering
With all your favourites
hey in case you didnt already know its the epic of alexander
I need to find myself a static
Pepsiman, megazord, Forward and back and Ultra megazord
Need to get my stuff together
You fight all the ‘Xanders in a row and then they fuse
no its epic of aether. a secret trial only available for people on aether DC
There is no cross-datacenter play at the moment. One of you would have to pay for a home world transfer to the other's world. 6.0 is bringing cross-datacenter play, but we don't know to what extent yet.
Is there a way to remove hotbar skills using the PS4 controller? I am lazy and don’t want to hook up my mouse right now
Thanks a ton. Finally convinced the guy to hop off WoW and come to ffxiv so trying to make this as easy as I can on him.
do I have to finish shadowbringers to unlock better gear than whatever i have? (Scaevan ilvl400)
Is this using controller or mouse mode? I can’t figure out how to edit regular hotbars if I’m in controller mode
No, Scaevan gets outclassed at level 75 ish
You should be replacing your scaevan with dungeon/msq gear by lvl75
Controller
ah okay thank you
and do i not use the allagan tomestones anymore? do I spend it on something else now?
each time i restart at PotD should I always start from floor 1? or is there a checkpoint ?
Checkpoint at floor 50
80 uses a different tome
should spam 51-60 for xp
ah okay
For gear
thank you
how many floors in POTD ?
200
floors 101-200 can only be done as a fixed party though yeah
and the other in SB , how many floors?

Yes for basic essensw
Good place to farm for those? iirc it comes from awakening
Those drop middle zone regular mobs iirc
Can you have multiple retainers of the same combat job?
Or can you only do one of each?
You can have multiple
Oh... so is there any advantage to making different jobs on your retainers? or just make them all your main class
All combat jobs for retainers collect the same thing, and yeah different gatherers different things
But is there a disadvantage to making each of my combat retainers SMN since that's my highest class?
So if you want your retainer to be a combat job there isn't really a reason to not make it your main
Ah
Woops
lol
I am loving the crafting so invested in 9 retainers, I have one of each gather then 3 combat. Should I make the next 3 gather or combat?
At least 1 if each gatherer
I'd do gatherer
If you're getting multiple
3 combat sounds more than enough
For passive resource
Gatherers they shall become!
For gift of the archmagus quest - do I get the pearls when I exit the duty? Don't want to step out if it's a floor drop that I'm just not seeing 🙂
Wow 9 retainers? I was just wondering whether most people buy extra retainers at all
I got one extra one, I don't have 9 though
You can ignore that quest
It doesn't do much unless you want abit more assistance with anima stuff
That's what I'm farming - burnt out of getting 6000 poetics in the previous stage so the 'free' aetheroil from the quest sounds nice lol
hey new player
I regret making both my retainers combat classes but I just can’t bring myself to reset them
quick question
how much does it matter
which world i create on
the pref worlds are full
Not a lot unless you have a specific FC you want to join.
Its nice to have the double exp but it won't kill you if you don't have it
what are the new ones?
We won't know until they change.
do they change often?
They will update the status on whether worlds are full or not pretty often. You can check back in like 30 min
We'll know on tuesday
Usually every major patch they change the preferred worlds.
I couldn't get into a preferred world either and just doing only the story quests you'll still outlevel them
lmao
To be clear, the status I’m referring to is whether they are taking new characters on a given world at the moment, which changes often. The status of whether a world is preferred or not is different and won’t change until the next update
Yeah. The MSQ does give you a ton of xp whether or not you're on a preferred world.
After the first few levels you'll usually be 2-3 levels ahead of the quest. And the story quests lock you out of content - not your character level. So the real benefit from the preferred world comes if you're leveling secondary jobs I think
I've routinely outleveled content leveling alts on non-preferred servers.
I’ve never played on preferred world and yeah the MSQ gives you plenty without any buffs
how long is story btw
/micon "Company Chocobo"
This macro isn't working for me, would anyone know why?
Long
MSQ from 1-80 is at least 200 hours, if you include cutscene time.
I am 230 hours in and still not even reached the newest expansion storyline
Basically, XIV is (currently) four full-length JRPGs connected end-to-end.
When Endwalker comes out in the fall, it will be the equivalent of 5 full-length JRPGs.
just unlocked hunting, and I need to kill this gatling? thing for my weekly quest, is there like an indicator on the map that tells me where he is or do i have to go around the whole place and find him?
If you're talking about the hunt bills, you'll have to find them.
They'll have a special icon over their heads.
okay thank you
Question: when people shout “lfg” for big fates, do they mean they are just looking for help, that they’ve made a PF group, or that they are looking to party up outside PF, or something else?
It usually means that they're looking to join a group that's also doing it.
they want an invite
That usually happens when there are the big boss fates.
And lots of people are in the area for it.
Also, what is the best way to go about the Darkscale Devoureth fate (trying to get the barding)? Every time it has shown up that one dragon dies and the fate ends before I have a chance to gather anyone else
So do people usually use PF for big fates or just show up at the spot and join up there?
If it's dying that would mean others are already doing it.
And it's kind of a mix.
Some people will put up PF groups for the really big ones like Odin or Ixion and people will wait until there are like, 5 or 10 minutes before pulling.
Oh really? I showed up and waited but I never saw anyone else but the dragons started fighting anyway. Maybe someone started and left without me noticing
how long does ShB take?
Probably 50-ish hours?
"Augmented Law's Order Weapons (iLvl 515)" for this step how many memories do the alliance raids drop and is it 100% drop rate on the fates ?
Lol Odin was a shitshow. I was just standing around in the Shroud and he actually spawned on top of me
Fates aren't guaranteed for the Haunting/vexous
Raids drop 1
.... what
The relic grind life.
Hey guys. If I start playing the PS4 trial on PS5 today, can I switch to the PS5 beta version when that launches and keep everything?
No thats worse than HW relic
Hey guys. New here. What is wrong with grass in this game?
HW was nerfed
Yes, you should be able to.
hw is the easiest relic lol
is there like a button to see my accept hunt lists or something?
Its really not too bad the rate has already been adjusted
Bills in key items
@sage nest that's the graphics of the game
In your key items
I have 10. It's well worth it imo
And how many lost artifacts does potd or DR drop ?
Best way to p2w in the game and gives a huge advantage on alot of stuff
I mean all my eye can catch is grass. When there's no grass around me games look alright, but if there's plenty of grass it nearly hurst my eyes
1...potd isn't guaranteed until 150+
That might be an issue with your graphics settings.
Dr is
One per dr and rng per set of 10 potd floors
With increasing rates as you go farther
I'm not max. Is there any specific one I should turn off?
You can get more than 1 if you are lucky inside potd ?
Uhh, I play on default settings and it doesn't bother me, so you'd have to play around.
So what does that add up to in terms of extra costs per month?
+$2 per month per retainer.
8x2= 16$ and the 10th is 5$ so 21$ per month
If you go all the way to 200 you'll get a fair amount
Its still upwards of 6 hours of your time
But compared to how much "money" they bring in from expeditions, storage slots, and market board slots
I’m just terrified of changing my mind later and losing all that stuff or having to find somewhere to put all that stuff
They more then pay for themselves
This is the worst grind ever it makes you do long time activities --.-
Because I can post so much to the market board I'm allowed in alot more markets. I bring in 1-2 million a day with fairly low effort
you rarely have that many items unless you're a hardcore crafter
thats alot for just 1
This is literally what relics are
By design
Time sinks
relics are intended as time sinks yeah lol
Especially when its CURRENT
And because you have so many spare slots you don't have to chase people to the bottom with prices. You can just leave stuff up and forget about it
Extra retainers are a convenience, doesn't get you a lot more than that. A great convenience though. The big advantage is it allows for extra gil making, but alas, gil has very limited use in this game.
It will sell eventually and you arnt starved for slots
boot up netflix or youtube, spend some time in DR
Completing the last step better decrease the other relics significantly
Oh god. I remember how bad ARR relics were, even in HW.
in the next patch
^
please for the love of God, if you do DR to get artifacts, use essences, it makes things so much quicker
I feel silly working for my Nexus when I’ve already gotten started on Anima but I just like Gae Bolg so much more than Brionac
And you can prefarm Memories by keeping the quest active
I find they are even more then that. They bring in tons of company seals(I have basically infinite), they bring in tons of items to sell, and they bring in items you either can't get anymore or have serious difficulty getting
You can literally farm like 5 memories at once
Company seals and gil both are really limited in use.
I've gotten tons of items worth 300k+ from my retainers
Same, I’ve gotten Mist Silk several times recently and that sells for a pretty penny
Mashing out quick venture nets alot of money
I’ve been trying to chase those minions on explorations recently but no success so far
If you own the game and the expansions on PS4 and then buy the game on PC, do you also have to buy the expansions again?
yes
Yes
Yes
Hi guys
Thats dumb
How do I preview what the gear looks when I need to select a reward?
That's licensing for you
right click and try on
then Google the name
What’s dumb is the “upgrade to collector’s edition”
Hellfire Armor of Striking Coffer
Torrent Attire of Scouting Coffer
I want to see pics of those two
I don't care for the others
But I can't find any
!iglam hellfire armor of striking
Those are in the Idyllshire poetic vendor
I don't know who that is currently. I just need to pick my rewards correctly
I want to pick something I like visually for the class
oh they're a full set
Well theyre also class-locked
Do I need to finish ShB to get a relic weapon?
It's annoying that FFXIV doesn't give me a preview of what the set looks like
So what were the changes to quick ventures? Were they for the better or worse?
No
I know they are
Yes
I just need to know how they look
For Shadowbringers one
Well, if you want a shadowbringers one yes
Can preview it online
You need to beat the respective expansion to get that expansion relic
Im a gunbreaker
No images
so I assume i can only get the ShB one
It is online
so do I need to complete the whole of 5-5.4
Link?
What are you googling?
Because there definitely are images online
Google the set your looking for and open the gamerescape
I'm googling the names
5.1 to finish the full thing as it stands now
5.4 if you want to fully complete it next patch
Its the first thing that comes up in google images so i dont know what you were searching
How do you make it show up on gamerscape?
I only see text
Just use google images
If you scroll down it should show pictures of the separate stuff
But in the pages
Like channy said
Either way google images is the fastest option
Is that site available in English?
I see, but if I use the search function in EN will it work?
It opens to lodestone links
Which can be changed to en
By changing url
From jp to na
I've only searched using the drop downs
Okay, thank you guys
So on the gamerscape site
It won't show set images
Only individual pieces
Correct?
I don't think gamerescape shows entire sets
What stats should i put on my AST for the Relic refinement?
is this ok?
No piety, unless you really need it
Cap crit and det
Then throw rest in either speed or piety
Ohh okok, tyvm! 🙂
Astro shouldnt need too much piety with cards giving mp back
If I get rid off the mirage set
Can I get it via salvage
Yes
Nice
How's the timeworn artifact droprate in DR?
1 per run

Where can I find the weekly quest reset time for my server?
!weekly
@hollow violet that long, whatever that is
rip. Waited 8 hours too long to turn this in lol. Thanks
how long would it take me to get 200 moogle tomes
Blues get like 50/hour or so
Thats 4 tomes per 5 minutes
Give or take times
So maybe 4 and a bit hours of slamming your head against it
Or 20 hours if you do just prae
would blus do runs with non blus
well 3 blus likely need a tank
4 blu is fine
4 blu AV is touchy on the pulls, unless one is in tank spec
But 3 blu 1 tank probably more consistent if its randoms
Is there a way to have different keybind for the same hotbar depending on the class?
For example Bar 1 / Slot 1 would be "E" if i played a BLM
Then Bar 1 / Slot 1 would be "R" if i played a RDM
guess ill do aurum for hours 
Got up to Choco Cure and now have 5 extra points. Any suggestions where I should go from here?
no, cant have multiple keybind set ups
Dps tree go all in
That's the first one?
@twilit arch Thanks for the clarification, wasn't sure if i was just missing something in the menus
Never mind. It's the last one.
How do I sell my old gear?
go to a vendor and right click > sell
the school in doma is the last one for restoration? Or there is more?
There's more
lol
is increasing mount speed useless?
so basically useless because of flying
So yes riding maps are basically useless
kinda wish it wasn't the case
By the time you can buy them normally, you can fly
increase mount speed may helpful if you first enter a region and roam around for aether current.
provided you have the currency for it
which you normally don't
how to level up fishing from 1-80 fast on a completely new character?
is Diadem for fishing fast for exp?
Ocean fishing for sure, leves for sure.
Is there a very simple way to use click quest item? For example, I need to give someone the quest item, instead of click and dragging or right clicking "Hand Over" can I just click while holding a key to automatically give it over?
No by design, alas.
So RC and Hand over is best?
It's made like this on purpose so people don't go like "lalalalala spam buttons and finish quests"
not true
you can right click the hand over box and the items that you can turn in will be shown
just double right click
I'll have to try double right click next time I get a chance.
I'll give it a try. Thanks.
Oh, that's what he was talking about right? Right clicking hand over?
Well, that, yes. With a controller you can press X twice.
No, they were referring to having to right click the item in your inventory to do it
Aha, I see.
at least, that's the impression I got
There is no way to bypass the whole thing though, you always gotta go through the hand over a specific item dialogue.
controller has that too technically
You press x then square
Don't have to search through the inventory
omg
I still don't get it how does i400 can get crit 2641
I checked a lot of gears
My i505 summoner has like 2550
is doing aurum with blus faster than wanderer's or amdapor with blus?
@heavy wadi it worked great. Thanks
aurum takes about 2-4 mins with blu
no prob!
I didn't know about RC hand over for a few weeks. Then I saw some video online where they didn't have to do that. So I experimented and found out. Still wasn't sure if there was a quicker way. This is much better.
It has to do with stat distributions. Sometimes higher ilevel gear sets don't have the same stat distributions, so a piece that has (for example) Piety, Determination, Crit, and Spell Speed for one set might have Piety, Determination, Direct Hit, and Spell Speed in a higher ilevel set.
That's why BiS usually doesn't involve having all of a single set of gear, but rather pieces from the highest ilevel sets available.

If i buy Mheg Deaca Attire from the mogstation will just one character be able to use it or ?
is it worth to mine both gathering and perception nodes if you don't meet requirement for both stat?
Diadem
Yes. One character only @shrewd mirage
You'd have to buy it again for another character. The same thing applies to most of the mounts, pets, and emotes. Anything that doesn't specifically say that it's account-wide.
Hello! I'm trying to recreate this screenshot and some help to figuring out where this place is would be much appreciated!
Can multiple DNC partner the same third party?
No
The giving buff doesn't stack
You could theoricaly for longer devilment on the guy but they wont get two standard step buffs
is it worth to buy crafting lvl 70 weapons for scrips or just buy it off vendor in shb?
The handking gear is worth buying. It will last you all the way to 80
Thank you.
Is it ever possible to see what people queue for in Duty Finder? Does it show up in Party Finder? Like if I wanted to help whoever was waiting for something.
No
no
That's a bit sad, no? I mean, they should list what Duty Finder people are waiting for and you could jump in to help. Would make things quicker. I wish Duty/Party Finder had some overlap. Can't open both anyway
Thats basically what roulettes do
Roulettes shove you into random dungeon and help fill ques
could just ask the person..
some people want to queue alone
I mean, not really - random is random and I'd also be personally concerned for privacy if it showed who queued for what by name.
What you mean queue alone? You have to go in as a party of 4 in a dungeon regardless no?
What privacy tho? These aren't real names attached.
i mean they dont want to talk to people and want to just queue by themselves
Yeah I meant to keep it the same as it is, just that it shows up that "Anamnesis Anyder is being queued for; so far 1 DPS is taken" or something.
People can and do stalk others in this game.
And that may just give them more ways to do so.
The game uses roulettes to fill those solo queues.
just ask the person what they're queued for/if they wanna queue together
I think he's talking about wanting to help randos who are queuing specific for the story.
Not any specific person they know.
There's no "the person" here. I'm saying I myself am waiting using Duty Finder to find a match. I would be glad if it was visible that this particular dungeon is being queued for by "someone" so others join in. I guess Roulette answers that
I didn't mean for names to be displayed or anything, just didn't know that's how roulettes worked.
Inversely, Party Finder works for people looking to get someone to party up with and do duties
Having said that; What time during the day is best to do Duty Finder queues?
evening
I equipped curtana.. how come is it saying this? https://i.imgur.com/wxdZ8hm.png
you need to upgrade your weapon to zenith
how?
Curtana Zenith is the specific name, iirc
I think it’s called “zenith weapon enhancement” or similar in the menu when you speak to him
I'm going through MSQ atm and coming up to the final quests of heavensward MSQ. are the 3.1-3.5 patch quests a requirement or do i continue straight into stormblood?
yes
btw
