ty
is there going to be new mogstation items next week too?
no
maybe
dataminers will find future mogstation items but you won't be able to obtain said items until later
Usually though the only stuff that aren't added on a schedule are the KR/CN commissioned items
Everything else is usually added in a year after the event is ran
they dont coincide with patches?
except for level and job skips, not really?
right but doesn't adding items require change of codebase
its likely they add items with patches and just make it available whenever
it's added in ahead of time usually yes
the chocobo carriage was in the game but wasnt available for a time
but to actually purchase you gotta wait for mog/FFXIV Online Store :p
same thing they do with events
It's just good live service practice
you unlock it in stormblood
^
Which utility does monk bring compared to samurai?
Grants Brotherhood and Meditative Brotherhood to all nearby party members.
Brotherhood Effect: Increases damage dealt by 5%
Meditative Brotherhood Effect: 20% chance you open a chakra when party members under this effect execute a weaponskill or cast a spell
Duration: 15s
oh ok
where can I lvl 46-49. Im in that inbetween part of the MSQ
Any benifits to joining a fc?
no
ty
exp buffs
How big?
up to 15% i think?
a chat channel for talking to other fc members and any buffs they put up. if they have an fc house there's also things like chocobo stables and fc rooms.
5-15% depending on the power of the buff
Wrong reply >.<
Hmmm
But for those levels you can spam dungeons to level up
Does clan rank matter?
You have leveling roulette too for the daily bonus
6 let’s your FC get housing, 8 let’s you have 2 FC actions active at once.
15 is the highest rank for increasing FC chest storage
yeah did the daily already
Then spamming dungeons is your best bet
If you don’t have it, you can unlock the level 44 dungeon Dzemael Darkhold in Ishgard at the observatorium
you mean corthas? they cant get into ishgard
thanks ill try that
they are at 46 MSQ, so it might be confusing since they cant get into ishgard
yeah looks like corthas
No wait I see my error now ;-;
I meant Coerthas Central Highlands
understandable
i wonder what the justification was before 5.3 in game why you could fly in western but not central coerthas lol
ARR zones didn’t have flying until then
The zones weren’t originally designed for it.
Hey! I'm a new player and I have been on trial for a while. So now I am deciding should I buy a game or not. If I buy the Starter (10 euro) version of the game, what do I get and what's the difference between the Complete Edition?
yes i know that, did they ever justify in-game
Starter edition is just the base game and first expansion, complete edition is that and the 2nd and 3rd expansion too @ancient grail
Starter edition doesn’t include Stormblood and Shadowbringers, the 2nd and 3rd expansions
I don't believe so, but something to do with how the aether compass works? They kinda handwaved it away though, basically.
Well, does it limit me the same way as it does in WoW, for example? When you don't buy the expansion, you can't really do any content. @obsidian patio
You don’t have access to current content so yes in that way.
the main difference is that ff14 keeps all expansions filled with players, so old expansions are still played constantly
Interesting. Thanks for the replies. I really appreciate it 
no problem!

do you need the <message> part when sending modmail or do you just type what you want to send to modmail by replacing <message> with what you want to say?
Quick question, for the job quests gear box rewards, can i discard them and buy a new one later on?
Depending on the gear how you get it might differ but yeah you can always get those back in some way
you replace the <message> portion with what you want to say
Ty
<message> is just a placeholder for whatever text you want to send
You also dont need the brackets around it (although it will still work if you use them)
I got a question.. my sub ends in 2 days, i just purchased a retainer, and it said that my retainer service will start today and end tomorrow.. did i just pay extra for 1 day ?
Any idea how the Ishgardian restoration stuff will be handled when they add the Firmement housing? Will it be separated into the Foundation proper or added to every ward or what?
yes
@solid fog you pay for the difference
Is there a way to cancel it ?
Your retainer only lasts as long as your sub lasts
Unknown.
Hm. If it’s added to every ward that would be a huge incentive to live there
Retainers are directly tied to your subscription payments, and it charges based on your current days remaining. You're paying the same amount regardless per day
I assume there will be a “story instance” since you go to NPC’s houses to do stuff
So if you have 1 day remaining, you pay 1/30th of 2 dollars
And quests existing in the firmament
Even if i add another 30 days ,the retainer service will take another dose in 1-2 days(currect sub ends in 1-2 days)
That's correct. You'll pay whatever the 30 day payment option you selected + the full cost of the retainer sub
I wonder if they will let me cancel it if i contact them
its not much but still pisses me off xD
You just manage the retainers on Mogstation
Removing a retainer will freeze the retainers you have starting from the bottom so you simply can't access them
I want to cancel the retainer service till the next sub update
so i wont have to pay twice.
Go to Mogstation > extra services > retainers
Additional Retainers: 1
Payment Method: Credit Card/Debit Card (Recurring)
Remaining Days: 3 day(s)
i got 3 options
manage retainer service, cancel sub,manage payment
If your sub isn't running, I'm fairly sure it doesn't charge for retainers either.
Cancel.
Unless you want to cancel retainer service.
best dungeon for exp fastest at lvl 59?
Also yes it only charges when you actually sub
Gubal normal
gracias
Oh this just canceled the automatic renewal
Didnt put it on pause , thats what i hoped
Pausing isn't an option with ffxiv
oh this is so frustrating dont even care about the amount xD
they just meant until the next sub payment
because you are able to do everything as a healer yes
you're missing something then
I dunno. I don't know what your current status is.
lol
how are we supposed to know when you dont give any info?
you havent provided context
I have a friend who did the MSQ on Scholar perfectly fine.
if you're in a solo instance
because it is 100% possible to do msq as a healer and plenty of people have done it before
and you failed it then please read the text from npcs
it might have some information didn't get
you guys are patient af, respecc
what is the quest
I assume you're currently in Mor Dhona rescuing people?
The game always tells you what to do, so you're not paying attention.
You're in a Dungeon.
Queue for it normally.
why are you trying to solo an on level dungeon, queue for it normally
... Because you're supposed to use Duty Finder to find a Tank and two DPS.
The game tells you this.
That opens up Duty Finder.
You likely had the “Undersized Duty” option still on from a previous dungeon
leave the dungeon, uncheck the undersized party setting, queue for the dungeon

!faq unsync
In your duty finder window select the ⚙️ icon on the top left to open up the duty finder settings window.
Inside that window select the setting undersized party before confirming and entering the instances of your choice. NOTE: UNSYNC-ING AN INSTANCE WILL FORFEIT ALL OF YOUR EXP AND COMPLETION REWARDS. Poetics from a first time completion bonus and loots chests remain the same and will not be lost. You may not queue for daily roulettes using this method.
exit the duty
Turn that odf
and open your the settings as shown in the image
open the duty window, with U on keyboard
Click on Duty Information to open the Duty Instance window.
There should be an option labelled "Leave Instance"
leave the dungeon, uncheck the undersized party setting, queue for the dungeon
the entrance npc just opens the duty finder
click the cog circled by the image
make sure thats unselected on msq group duties
if you're on level
thats not possible to do by yourself
you could have clicked it by accident 
it happens
Undersized (also referred to as unsynced) is typically for content you are well past requirements for.
For example: you could go as a level 70 into a level 50 extreme trial to farm a pony without having to compete with anyone else for it.
Another example might be getting help rushing you through MSQ gated content, so a group of level 80 people could run you through that dungeon in a fraction of the time if you were having a hard time getting in through duty finder

wow <50 dungeons double ding leveling. Did they increase the exp?
do the highest level leves you can, or do ishgard
leves are repeatable quests
yes just do the mission once if its blue to get it out of the way
and make room on journal
takes 2 to 5 mins
farming leves is the fastest way to level doh/dol
untick party in the chat settings but also why would you
just block them
right click name > add to blacklist
in the chat window
has the way to get collectables changed? Just came back to the game after being gone a year
are you sure youre right clicking their name
Can't do it while in an instance
are there any quests i need to do before the last leg of the nier raid
for patch 5.5
yeah i can't seem to understand how gathering collectibles works now. Used to have the collector's glove but that is gone
you walk up to the node and select the collectable from the list. Then try and get as much collectability as possible before getting the item

Ventures
You get the regular versions now from the hunt billmaster at your grand company for allied seals
you can purchase more ventures at your grand company
Ok thanks
How exactly do the crafter relics work? Is there something like a guide for them? I just received the first one (Ilevel 440) out of the blue and am unsure if I can just use them on whatever

Until the very last step it’s just straightforward crafting the desired items with the tool equipped.
my black mage is only lv 6 any tips
The last one uses Expert Recipes which are much harder and rely on you taking advantage of different conditions to successfully complete.
!faq altlvlguide
do fates and hunt log
oh so i can just buy whatever I am missing
at least at first
Hunting log should take you most of the way to dungeons
hunting log?
In the log section of menus
It’s basically a checklist of enemies to kill for bonus experience
Nice for the early levels, drops off somewhat past 20-30
Thank you!
how do people suimmon those like glowing squirrel things
Those are summoner pets
how do i get those
Be arcanist/summoner
Play a summoner (starts as arcanist)
also i reached lv 30 on my paladin : )
Its their pets which is a part of their skill kit
thats cool i thought anyone could ahve em lol
is there any way to edit/mess with friends list other than in-game? i know companion app can view but not edit
it takes so long to mess with anything in it in game
damn cant send links here too
Hey uhm i really wanna play final fantasy but dont have game time i found a site that sells 30 days for 9 bucks but it says Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn + 30 Days Included Final Fantasy
Would that work?
If you can't send the link the website is probably sketchy
its g2a
don't use G2A
We don't recommend it.
Which. Can REALLY fuck your account
if SE finds that your key is bought with a stolen credit card, your account is going to be banned
If you want the chance to be perma banned
i just recently lost my job and my game time ran out and i cant really find anything else to do
so unless you're fine with taking that risk, don't buy from sites like g2a
What is the cheapest alternative
Wait for sales
i really cant afford to spend more then 10
Playing the Free Trial
huh?
Free trial
i already got a char tho that im working on
In any case "Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn + 30 Days Included" doesn't work if you already registered the game. It won't add game time.
You asked for the cheapest alternative.
And he is at the stage after the trial
Got it
!faq subprice
You own the game so gotta pay sub normally
game time never goes on sale
i guess no final fantasy then
My rank atm is second lieutenant is there any other reason to keep going up in rank?
so where do u get gametime then ?
Mogstation, or game cards from trusted sellers
Alrighty
Wait they have game cards? Never knew, usually they have the wow one's in stores
They're around
i never saw a ff card in store
Me neither
Im also reading online it doesnt cost seals anymore to be promoted? So i can spend my seals finally?
You can't spend seals for promotions after second lieutenant
gotta do squadrons to get up to captain
Cool also where do i get dance emotes?
which ones
I was told ranking up i could getbem here
you have /dance by default
which ones

Beast tribes have some
How do i do beast tribes?
Subscription rewards
@fringe bone bonuses for total days subscribed
!faq contentunlock
There’s beast tribes for each expansions
Oh ye hell
So il get a free 150 days if i get 180 days? or will be the same regardles
But you want the expansion tribes for emotes
no, vet rewards are exclusively cosmetics
Vet rewards are just cosmeticd
huh
white tiger mount from the shb cinematic wheres that from
You're trying to buy 180 days at once, which is 65 euros up front
Shadowbringers hunts
right
For the lion
You'll receive the following rewards: 150 day(s) , 240 day(s)
what do they mean with this
Thats the duration you need tk sub
you'll recieve the 150 day and 240 day reward
To get that times rewards
Oh
i get it
So after i got 180 days will it auto renew my game time after its done?
or can i turn that off
you can turn off auto renew
I thought you said you couldn't spend more than 10 euros though 
you're paying 65 euros at once for 180 days
and wondered what it mean
No im not picking that options
option*
i need to figure out a way to get 2 euro lol
2,99 to be exacty
Non traditional question: For Treasure Trove, I can only get one 50 esoteric mount. Which one to get? Kamuy or the Predator Magitek?
Well wish me luck in finding 2,99 euro, im gonna go now ty for the help
I would get predator...drop rate for that hasn't been increased unlike the kamuy
And kumais are easy to.farm unsync
the falcon
Especially the one in this esoterics
Do i need to do g#rand company challanges or can i do any challanges to "attract" other squadron members
Any
Whew
Thanks @faint flare. @remote lintel I have the Falcon.
should i buy gathering gear from MB
If it’s cheap enough for you then sure.
Only thing is that specific squad members are gained from specific challenge categories
Just compare the cost of it on the marketboard to the vendor if it’s normal quality
oh? it just told me to do some
But that doesn’t really matter
hmmm
Its cosmetic difference
And remember that the Yellow Scrip sets at 60 and 70 can last a good while if you’re willing to grind the scrips for it
Hi! I'm very new to the game. As in, I'm currently installing it. I played it for a few hours some years ago, but other than that, I'm completely new to the game. I've never really been invested in an mmo before, but I'd really like to get into ffxiv. Does anyone have any tips for me?
I'm playing on the free trial version btw, for now
!faq newplayertips
thanks!
Pick any class you think you like also blue quests are your friend
Dont be afraid to do em like i was
Smh...
Is this the best score possible on this or did i miss one?
This was my first time doing so idk lol
iirc 5000 is max
Think the cap is like 5k
so looks like you missed some
Yeah the bronze count not being a “round number” tipped me off
I try harded it my first attempt i was so focused
Can a lvl 80 solo The Lost Canals of Uznair?
No
My friend told me to play Final Fantasy but he told me to buy a boost now I'm level 70 and I have no idea what I'm doing and he isn't playing anymore so I got shafted
Even with max gear?
It syncs, and its scaled around it
Violent, that really sucks. Boosting to level 70 is an awful idea for someone's first time
You might be able to do 1 room as paladin/warrior with proper healing planning
yea I have no idea what skills to use or what I'm doing I feel like he ruined the whole experience for me
a story skip or only level skip?
@rain pasture if you are interested in doing the story, you can make Another character
Here's the nice part about ffxiv, you can pick up any joband level from scratch
and then new game +, unlocked in horizon (i think?) would let you replay the story
If you want to keep going with your existing character, go to YouTube, look for "FFXIV (insert job name) job guide"
And watch the video from Weskalber
i mean if you really want to keep the lvl 70 character you can do new game+ but it doesnt give any rewards, or you could just make a new one and experience everything
the idea behind this game is similar to a singleplayer rpg, where you play through the story and that gets you content unlocked
yeah ^ that
yeah, the idea is that you do the story and that ups your level, until you hit cap
The boost are for people don't want to spend time to grind exp for alt jobs
is king
Or just want to fast track their alt characters
like for instance, people who make alts on other datacenters, or raid alts, or rp alts
what do you guys think i should do, get the blue level 80 crafter gear and have that until new expansion or try get the end game crafted one without melds ?
can someone gimme tips on how to manage my mana as a thm? im questing rn and just having a hard time dealing damage + managing my mp :(
Go into Blizzard forn
you burn your mp with your fire spells and regen it with ice
the idea is that you swap between fire and ice to do dmg/regen mp
Rinse repeat forever
If you don’t meld then the white scrip set is better than Aesthete
OH
i totally forgot blizzard did that.. it's been soo long since i played the game
ty guys so much
Transpose to swap more easily
!faq blmleveling
melding it now is kinda pointless i dont want to waste gil i dont have much just 15m
melding probably will take 2-4m gil
Or is there things i cant do with the blue set?
It can’t do 4-star crafts unless you use the relic tool and good food+potion
cant do 4 star HQ or at all
At all, not enough control.
What's are the potencies of the fire and ice spells for each level, ie I, II, III
With the relic and food+potion, can it do HQ ?
Wow.. how hard is 4stars
4-star always needs HQ materials for assured HQ, better gear just reduces how much you need
Hey everyone! I was curious if any of you knew how to get each GC rank up after Captain? I just finished that flagged mission to receive that rank and I still want to keep ranking up, but cannot find anything anywhere explaining what needs to be done for each after that.
is 5.5 coming with ShB allied beast tribe quests?
:0
Told us during the LL
Oooh okay. Cause there’s more listed and it looked like you could get higher than the captain rank! Thank you for answering me about it!!
no hildi AND no allied ...
So why isnt blue mage lvl 80 and stuck to 50? Do they hate blue mage? And stopped adding on to it? Lol
Its 70 capped
It's not like other jobs
Because its a limited job
It can do some extremely broken shit
Ye but why dont they let it go higher and do raids and such whats wrong with it?
That'd be horrifically unbalanced
It’d be insanely broken if they did
Lol
bc blue mage can basically 1 shot bosses
Blue Mage's whole shitck is that you can go out into the world, learn monster skills and then choose 20 out of those like, over 100 skills
so of course they cant do current content
Yeah. BLUE in current savage would break everything
Oh huh
They don't want it to be usable in current content, yeah
Plus it gives them time to design spells and all
Sinces there's over 100 spells for blue
Because the devs wanted the job to play more like a traditional blue mage in FF games rather than actually try to limit what you can learn/use
Side content and the best event farmer
Huh
when was the most recent blu update?
5.4, so quite recent
How does the right side of the fashion report work?,on the bot
and what was the update?
Upped the level
they capped it at 70
60-70
And naturally new spells
is the data center visit on patch 5.58 or 5.55?
And another carnival stage
5.58
We dont know
Oh ok
The very least they said it was a expansion thing
it says 5.58 on steam
oh nice interesting
would dc visit make dc transfer redundant?
We dont know
We dont know what we would even be able to do
When.we visit another dc
Cause i’m thinking of getting a dc transfer >.>
We dont know how it would work so
There are still things you cant do while world visiting so it wouldnt be completely redundant no
Only if you plan to make it home. for me I can't move (I have a house)
so roughly when is 5.58? :/
¯_(ツ)_/¯
July-ish?
Sometime summer
We don't know the exact schedule since corona still threw everything off
Have they confirmed 5.55 in late may or is it floating between then and june still?
we don't know
free trial players can join NN, correct?
Yes
what about fellowships and CWLS?
Linkshells yes
at what level does DRK get their AoE?
6
level 6 unless you mean the combo action
the ground claw thingie
this level 70 drk hasn't used it a single times... i guess he's new
!action Unleash
🤔
Ask them to AoE when pulling mobs in between bosses
if they refuse, just leave or votekick
might be in the trap of "I don't regenerate MP or resource with AOE so it's trash"
Smells like job skip to me
ah yeah. 70. makes sense
By 70 unleash should be your malicious best friend
Not like theyve got much of an option 
Because they literally dont get their second aoe combo until 72
For the dumbest reason
So i found out i am logged on fflogs and I wonder, what does Dps rdps and Adps mean?
well he wasn't using any AoE, just single target pulls
!faq fflogsdps
- RaidDPS (rDPS) is: Your TotalDPS minus the damage from buffs you received plus the damage from buffs you contributed
- Personal DPS (pDPS) is: Your TotalDPS without being adjusted for buffs.
- aDPS is: Your TotalDPS minus single target buffs applied to you (devilment, dragon sight, astro cards, etc)
rdps is raid dps, adps is adjusted dps
rDPS stands for Raid DPS adjusted for other players DPS done under your buffs
aDPS is your DPS not counting for buffs
personal DPS is no longer shown
And the different colors? Is this normal because i heard often about grey parsing
hm, which dps is the parse number based on?
Rdps
Colours are the percentiles
or you're just undergeared
Or all the above
This late in the tier unless you're at 530 you should just worry about clearing first and parsing later
The way it was best explained is "if youre parsing grey without dying you lack a fundamental understanding of your job"
Is it the color by "parses" that says that or as sample by rdps/adps
rDPS usually
I am purple is that good?
Yes
Decent
Quite good
Depending on the content.
purple is high but it also depends on what fight youre doing
For example, nobody takes normal raid parses seriously
Blue is average, purple is above average
because if nobody is uploading logs for one fight then of course youre going to score high
If it isnt savage or ultimate people dont really care
Oh so ast’s rDps counts both malefic + combust dmg And dmg cards and div give other players?
yes
Gold/pino is Perfect
Orange is Extremely good/under perfect
Purple is above average
Blue is average
Green is just under average
Grey means you're bad
In short
For that fight
so does that mean ast, dnc, brd’s rDPS depend on others? bad others can drag your rdps?
yes
Bad groups drag you down regardless cause slow kill times
thats why dnc and brd have lower personal dps but do fine on rdps
FFlogs is pretty good about filtering out bad/old logs though so you just have to upload better parses to wipe out bad ones
I went from 30 quests to 9
Took me all day but i belive this is every blue quest from realm reborn anyways and below
you dont need to do the EXs and hard mode dungeons if you dont want to
Exs?
Its ok i will so they are out of the way ya know?
Then ima go back to focusing on main story
No one ques for them
Im done for the day ive beel playing a lil to long
So get to unsyncing them with 80s
legacy of allag
the others are just hard mode dungeons or exs or the relic
Ok so just the legacy got it
Please unlock the hard dungeons too, it gives higher chance you get per duty roulette other dungeons than sastasha
@remote lintel does this look A Ok?
I'd prefer quarn or any other hard over the midgardsormr one
you could have just abandoned them but sure
I’m on Marlboro server, I heard it’s the quietest server on Crystal - should I switch servers? I’m level 37 first time playing
individual world doesnt matter @glossy bay
How come?
Ok im heading out thank you cerb and vinyl and other guy who helps me but cant remember name
theyre the same
Depends
they might change depending on time of day
Uldah is always populated in Balmung
Got it
those are just hard mode dungeons
Ok thanks also what’s best way to find a FC?
I ended up doing that one hard mode dungeon very cool
!faq communityfinder
Thanks!!
For keeps sake mission is also a hard mode dungeon?
no unlock dungeons as you can
level doesnt matter, you dont have to do them if you dont want to
it’s (old) extremes that you better wait til you’re 80
U said i need a lvl 80 to help me find dungeons tho
no you need a level 80 for the extremes
Oh and some of these are extremes?
Ok
The hard mode dungeons will give you some more sources of poetics if anything
- the first time clear bonus for extra if you need more ironworks pieces
Just to clarify, if it isn't already
Hard mode dungeons are not the same dungeon with the same enemies, bosses, and mechanics, and everything is made harder
Think of it more like a remix/variation
how do i go to 31-60 for housin

Oh wow i played final fantasy for 12 hours today lol
Thanks again vinyl

i think vinyl tails just has this discord channel up all the time on another monitor
you sit sideways on incitatus, right?
ohhh i thought it was something special to that mount lol
i think elezen may sit sideways too
female hyur and elezen
idk how i got it in my head that i thought incitatus specifically made them ride sideways
since they aren't tall enough to get on the horses' back
Good day all! Can I confirm the maintenance starts in approximately 2-3 hours and is estimated to last 9 hours?
Yeah that's how they sit on that particular horse model (pvp horses excluded)
starts tomorrow at 9 PM PDT
you can always type "!maint" to check how much time you have
Thanks!
just for my own curiosity is it possible to clear e9s with a full team of greys?
unlikely
so is it accurate to say people parsing grey aren't pulling their weight?
what do you mean by team of greys
grey on that totally legal 3rd party software
does grey mean below 50th percentile?
grey means you're basically the bottom of the barrel
99th percentile = pink
95-98th percentile = orange
75-94th percentile = purple
50th-74th percentile = blue
25-50th percentile = green
sub 25th percentile = gray```
All Grey but all 20+ is possible, actually
i really want to parse myself, but i've heard that once you downlaod the program, other people can see your stats on fflogs
Im on ps4 and other people can see my stats
doesnt matter if you download it or not
i know cause my group did that xD
That said, you kind of also have to look at the context of where the person is parsing grey
no i mean other people can look you up on fflogs and see what your parses are
you can hide your logs but thats generally frowned upon
people cant see your stats unless they get uploaded
act doesnt automatically upload them
a lot of the worst players i've played with have had their logs hidden
plenty of reasons why some one might be parsing grey. easiest thing to look at is rotation
are there other parsers besides ACT?
not that ive heard of
I'm not sure tbh I'm on console
If I see a unique item on the MB, would I be able to get it again?
no
how do you parse on console?
act is the only one
you cant
you cant
you can't on console
Why am i nor getting Tortured Memory of the Dying in Coerthas Western Highlands ? am i doing something wrong? D:
how do you know then your party is parsing grey?
@versed geyser you can only have 1 in your inventory at a time so you would have to put it in a different storage
you dont
unless you check their logs
on the net
fflogs
You have the quest active and you're getting gold yes/ @worthy bluff
Ohhh the quest, shit tyvm! lol
are we gonna have the reset then one day later the 5.5 patch?
not that my party is parsing grey I was just curious if it was possible
reset will be during maint iirc
Sorry I mean to say "sell" instead of "see". I was asking if I could sell a unique item on the MB and still obtain it again (i.e. dungeon drop)
It's been a VERY long day
sticker doesnt actually hide names properly 1 sec
@stable hinge why did you delete?
it is possible to clear with full greys
Is it worthwhile to cap revelation tomes before 5.5? I don't recall there being any new recipes with tome mats back in 4.5
for reference
if you still need gear, yeah
I meant to try and hit 2000/2000, in case there's any new mats
@versed geyser most dunegon drops are unsellable
but most things in this game can be obtained again yes
Yeah I noticed that there were some items that I got from dungeons that I was able to sell on the MB like the Plundered Goggles
there's a few arr dungeons that do have marketboardable gear
but those are very much exceptions
Hi, I'm only a few days into the game using the free trial, but my first job is already lv 50 so I want to start leveling a 2nd job to not waste the exp. My MSQ is only around lv 35 right now. I was wondering if it's possible to run the actual quests as my 1st job, but then switch to my 2nd job gear to "claim" the green checkmark completion and get the credit?
You need to be the same lvl as the quest to turn in
oh! that is important info to know, thank you 😅
so no that wouldn't work, but tbh getting up to 35 really wouldn't take that long, especially since im assuming you're on a preferred server
you can do the hunt log and fates up to lvl 15
Can any gatherers tell me where to obtain Yafaem Wildgrass?
then spam dungeons until youre 35
its northish of little ala mhigo, near the zone line @leaden ginkgo
It's a hidden item, but what does that mean?@twilit arch
basically items that have a chance to randomly appear on the node
Ah, I see. So, I'm just unlucky.
there is a skill that you can to use force hidden items to appear called Luck of the Pioneer
but that's not really reliable since requires HQ chain 2 to use
Better than what I'm doing now.
basically just run around tapping the nodes until the item you want appears
Besides, I'm Lv. 55 but I don't have it. I didn't realize there were skills locked behind job quests.
For gatherers, anyways.

Hey I am at the point in story where I choose between serpent, flame, or storm officers
Does it matter what I choose?
nope
Nope
Thank you!
How do I get the evenstar hat?
I’ve looked it up and it’s been sending me in circles
you can buy it with allied seals from the hunt billmaster at your grand company HQ
but when i go to the materia melder, i only have 2 or less slots for the other gear
materia melders can't overmeld
Is there a visual aid website/interactive map of ARR regions that show by area where certain level enemies/dungeons are?
Advanced meld
i didnt dio that
My chocobo just changed colors why is the next step for colors not showing
Gaius'van'baelsar has grown a new coat of feathers!
Gaius'van'baelsar devours the Doman plum.
Gaius'van'baelsar's plumage will be ready for change in 6 hours.
Gaius'van'baelsar devours the Doman plum.
Gaius'van'baelsar devours the Doman plum.
i didnt even know how to meld materia
did you buy the gear from the marketboard?
I don't want to keep feeding him it but it's not showing the "your chocobo is beginning to grow new feathers" mesage
my bf made the necklace for me
When you feed you get a random amount of +/- of that colour, so you need to keep feeding until you get that message
Then clearly they overmelded it for you
because you haven't pushed the rgb far enough to warrant a change
I won't max the color out will I ?
I am trying to make it white
I am at cream yellow atm
if it doesnt display the message then nothing changed
you need to feed it until it shows the message
oh cause he said he doesnt know why there was 4 materia in it either
took me like 4-5 tries to get soot black
its just the rng side of chocobo dyeing
that just how they be
because SE wanted them to
FFXIV didn't standardize how materia slots were assigned until later expansions so
early game weirdness ¯_(ツ)_/¯
oi m8's, I'm new. Is there any reason the game is installing at snails pace? I have really good internet and I just wanna know if this is normal
the launcher is just slow
Literally uses Internet Explorer
If you're willing to use third party launchers, I recommend https://github.com/goatcorp/FFXIVQuickLauncher
Where do i find people to play with on here
Im new and looking for people to play with
join a guild, join the novice network
#recruitment-light
Ok thanks
Does Main Scenario Roulette always party you up with at least one person who hasn't done the MSQ yet?
good for bard, yeah?
cutscenes in msq roulette are always unskippable
Yes
What's the from?
That wasn't what I was asking tho...
<_<
well these days there's a high likelihood of getting in with people who need to run it
since the trial and all that
No? I can think of some recent Prae runs without newbies
Shadowbringers relic
and also, my pic is of the level 80 relic weapon
Well if there aren't any new people in the party, it should give the option to skip it.
that'd be nice
One solution I was thinking of was maybe they could be skip if the whole party agrees to skip it, but if they did that, then people would pressure the newcomers to skip it, threatening them with booting them if they didn't.
if whole party agree to skip, you can dc and rejoin to skip msq.
otherwise, you may get reported :3
If that happened, then nobody would do MSQ roulette with new players.
You'd have people who would just leave and eat the penalty.
how can i change HUD in pvp?
I mean considering how often you get new players, they'd be doing that a lot and get nothing done.
But I'm mostly talkigna bout how I saw people treat new players before the unskippable thing was added
the current way is the best way, for now. They're looking into making Prae and Castrum solo instances at any rate, but we don't have any updates on that front ¯_(ツ)_/¯
So when do you guys think endwalker will be available for preorder?
after Fanfest
Hud layout > click the duty button to edit PVP UI
...no wait.
I think you can only edit those in the match?
Being in the wolves den works too
@slate arrow Another question if you're willing to answer. For fanfest for getting that whale can I preorder for that to get that mount or do I have to wait till may to purchuse the ticket?
we don't know
RIP Then
It might just be on Mogstation like the cloud bike, since there's no Fanfest ticket this year.
At least, I don't believe there will be.
Of course but if a new player isn't present, I feel like it should be unlocked. But yeah, spaghetti code.
This is better than it used to be either way though. If a new player was in my FC, I'd insist they tell me when they plan on doing the last two dungeons and run it with them and some friends to make sure they could enjoy the the story.
thxs, I managed to edit them mid match
so i've done a lot of dungeons today. you cant loot the same item twice?
yeah i mean its not stuff i need or worth anything but confusing
is puppets' bunker like savage raids, in which people usually don't queue in duty finder, they only use party finder?
oh
can't find a party for life though, that's why I thought
Just wait till Tuesday
Because people will go back to it for coins
You can do Party Finder but it'll be longer that way
:(
Yeah, from Tuesday queues for all of the NieR raids will pick up.
I may be a bit of a nitpicker here, but what DC has the slightly higher clear rates, Primal or Aether?
theyre about the same
It does not matter what world I pick for Aether or Primal then?
No it doesn't
individual world doesnt matter
What does the star here mean?
I've heard some servers are more geared towards certain aspects like role play or dungeon, etc. so you might want to search that up
Crystal data centre is the hub for roleplay, the other datacentres are all just normal.
on that page it means its your currently selected datacenter

Deities dont really matter do they
nothing on character creation matters except class
even that.. 15 levels later
Couple of things, how do I enlarge textboxes, and how do I make the camera not move when pressed A and D
This is an alt character, just forgot a few things
and settings dont seem to carry over
right click a textbook and you should see zoom options
@shut panther And it will stay like that for the rest of the game?
yes
standard control scheme makes your character strafe instead of turning the camera
How do I fix that, it makes me wanna barf
you either pick standard or legacy
Where is the legacy control scheme?
character config
Is there any reason at all to use "Play" after you unlock "Minor Arcana?"
Increases damage dealt by self and nearby party members.
Duration: 15s
Can only be executed after obtaining three Seals of Arcana by playing at least three arcanum.
Effectiveness is determined by the number of different types of seals in play.
1 Seal Type: 4%
2 Seal Types: 5%
3 Seal Types: 6%
you don't get seals from minor arcana
minor arcana doesnt give you seals
So how should I determine when to use which?
you have all the seals you need
Still don't quite grasp the seal thing.
or you don't have redraws left and don't need the seal
@cursive abyss let's use channel for non-shitpost questions please
unless you wanna reword that in another way
that is a legit question
@carmine goblet Wasnt a shitpost question, I should have worded it as "Why does the standard control scheme make me feel...off?"
okay thank you
also not really a question that we can answer for you
its an issue that you're dealing with that is entirely personal to you
standard is like how all other mmos are played
legacy is more regular 3rd person game-like
could at best give a maybe you have motion sickness answer
I think I'm just used to legacy because thats what my main char used
how does one hide the hotbar numbers again
Legacy is a more popular control scheme if I recall
since it's easier to use and more common in MMOs
character config > somewhere in the hotbar tab
ty
Also, why cant I change my map size, the option to change window size is greyed out?
drag the corner?
copy and paste your character settings from one character to another
so you don't have to manually set them up again
Also notably better for combat especially on ranged physical dps
I can do that?
yes if you're on pc you can just do it
documents > my games > ff14 > find your main character's CHR folder
All of it?
you can leave the log stuff out if you want
that includes battle log data
but i typically copy everything
so uh
this is embarrassing but i'm lv 34 and still a thm.. i was just told during a uh.. duty (?) that i should prob look into doing the black mage quests
how do i get started on those?
!faq job
To unlock your class' job you need to be level 30, complete all of your class quests and the main scenario quest 'Sylph Management' (lvl 20 quest) to be able to pick up your job unlock quest. Once you've done the initial unlock quest, you will be given a soul crystal which you must equip to become your class' job.
they appear under your msq bar
you've been doing your class quests?
Is it OK to delete the char files and then replace or do I just copy/paste then overwrite?
if you've done all your class quests as a thaumaturge and you have completed the main story quest up to that point, you get the ability to unlock your job quests
just copy paste/overwrite
i think i did some of them? but i've lost track and i think i may have accidentally abandoned it
oh yeah go do those
you should be doing your class/job quests as they come up
they're your top priority
they're not optional
