That's the boss right?
Were you not y'know... just standing there not moving and eating free damage?
noo
damaged adjuncateor
now the last boss is targetign the monk
oops
Occasionally the boss will target a random player and spawn a sphere of sand
random
Oh that boss
it was so strange
As the fight drags on, the boss will target a non-tank member of the party for a sword strike.
last bos
s
random too sometimes
where is that
then the tank is doing sth wrong
that never happens
if tank is having tank stance on
also in the last boss, I had an effect with a number next to me, can the healer use esuna on me to get rid of it>
interesting
Ah I see!
since 5.5?
also I am a mqachinist so i have this ability that interrupts when an enemy casts a spell but it doesnt work
whats different?
the pulsing cast bar
only if the cast bar is pulsing can you interrupt it
So you can not actually interrupt any and all casts
Ahh I see! That makes more sense
otherwise you could just skip certain boss mechanics entirely
whereas if something can be interrupted it usually HAS to be interrupted
Unless you are doing low lvl content where you sometimes see interruptable casts that are only like a second long
That's just old content
don't worry about it, doesn't need to be interrupted
okie
I never came across the pulsating cast bar before
or maybe I have and I just didnt have the mind to notice haha
Is there any way to reduce the size of the travel/mount bar? On PS5 it’s absurdly large.
So someone's going around saying that you have to buy tickets for Fanfest
but I don't see anything about that
are they just lying?
because I see nothing on the fanfest page
sounds like bs
What is this mount bar?
thanks Cypher
When you want to ride a mount there’s that few seconds where a bar pops up to load. Or the 5 second bar when using fast travel.
Ah thats the castbar
Its on the HUD settings
which should be scalable like any other hud element, yea
You can click it and resize it
I don’t see an option for cast bar
hello all, so i was wondering, is there a way to un-show my glam without deleting the glam plates? as i want to show my friends how my armor looks on me but i don't know how to hide my glam ;-;
uh i am getting 2002 error despite i have no vpn/firewall that blocks the game. i have no idea what to troubleshoot
Gotta buy a glam dispeller...well many of em
General merchants sell em
Quite cheap
Thank you ^^
You on PC?
PS5
Tried restarting PC/Modem/Router, all of it?
i guess it try both now
Well this is gonna be awkward, but uhh... do you have a keyboard attached to your PS5?
No
Heck... idk whats the key for ESC on Console
This is a pic i took from google
Can you open the setting that lets you do this?
The thing in the middle that says Progress bar that is what you wanna resize
Yeah. There’s no cast bar HUD setting though
Progress Bar bro
Oh, I thought you said cast bar earlier
Yeh my bad about that

welp doesnt work
i am confused rn
for couple days i didnt have issue like this
Hmmhh...
Is there an event happening there is eggs in uldah
Easter event
What we do?
@leaden ginkgo so your firewall is off, right? No VPNs, no weird packet thingies?
no that is the weird thing, this is fresh 1 week old laptop so no weird stuff nor vpns yet\
should i try vpn instead?
i am not in NA and playing from asia , so maybe that helps?
Where can i look for groups? / Companies?
or trying playing in jp servers if you can, but you can always try and buy those gaming vpns (exitlag, wtfast, mudfish, etc..)
Do positional apply after the animation ends or when u press the abilitly?
Okay so while doing the lv 72 msq I did some trial and now I can't access the amaro
I went to the amaro porter but i don't have access to an amaro that takes me to lakeland
How hard is Eden's promise savage actually ? I've never done harder content and don't really know. Should i just queue up or research it ?
Savage isn't something you queue for, you'll want to use Party Finder or get recruited by a static
Oh okay. Was kind of confused cuz there is an option to queue up under high end duty
Hey Nightbloom is much better than Song of Torment, right? As long as you hit the Nightbloom that is.
Generally speaking, for Savage content that's more than a week or two old, PF parties will expect you to watch/read a detailed guide
Night look is better higher potency and longer duration
But you can buff song of torment and it's always available
Bloom*
Song of Torment 50 + 50 over 30s
Nightbloom 400 + 75 over 60s
I'm reading this right?
Doesn't Bristle buff Nightbloom as well?
It is a spell after all
Ogcd
Oh nvm Nightbloom is a n"Ability" apparently
Only buffs gcds
Anyway I could just use it as well for more bleed tho, right?
Nightbloom is a great ability
Hey Guys just joined here
Does anybody know how to find groups for Eureka ?
Where do I use these eggs?
probably trade them to a vendor near the event area in gridania
the eureka discord is probably your best bet for finding a group. :\
So, just finished the lv 30 lancer quest, anybody know where I can upgrade to dragoon?
Make sure you have finished the level 20 MSQ "Sylph Management" and then just do the next job quest
It gives you the soul crystal to become a dragoon
ooookay, still on msq lv 16 haha, does that mean I won't learn any new skills until i get the dragoon job?
there's another lancer skill at lvl 50
but I'm gonna say you will unlock dragoon before that 😉
good to remember in this game though, msq locks basically everything
good to know
is there a setting/button that lets you target another enemy after killing another enemy? I find that in dungeons, I often click on my tank instead of the enemy to target my next enemy 
tab cycles through available targets
sweet as, good to know
Nvm found
what should a new player do to the mats you get from killing mobs? stuff like sinew, flank steak, fangs, etc? Sell them? stash em?

trash them
it's just low level mats, yeah
at some point mobs will stop dropping stuff for the most part as their design choices shifted
Selling to NPC's is the best option, otherwise trash it.
Just walk to the exit? The Crystarium does have an exit to Lakeland south of the main Aetheryte
does the game crash for anyone else when you try and pick up the "it takes a village" quest once you finish the new 24 man
I'm at level 79 MSQ. I'll most likely reach level 80 before beating the MSQ. Is there a way to get better iLvl gear without requiring beating MSQ? I know one way is getting the level 80 artifact gear.
Marketboard is the only option for i450 / i480 / i510 gear before the base 5.0 story end, but it is kinda expensive now because the World Visit system has shit down.
The AF4 gear is i430, it is good enough for the last 2 MSQ duties.
Why does Iron Jaws snapshot buffs if it refreshes the dots instead of reapplying them?
!action Iron Jaws
Delivers an attack with a potency of 100.
Additional Effect: If the target is suffering from a Caustic Bite or Stormbite effect inflicted by you, the effect timer is reset
Additional Effect: 35% chance of becoming Straight Shot Ready
Duration: 10s
If I wanna level while waiting on Duty Finder, what can I do? just kill mobs outside somwhere?
refresh is basically a reapply
when it comes to IJ
it's not "extending" them per se
If you are very sure that you won't get a queue any time soon, you can do FATEs
Otherwise, do
or beast tribe quests
Ah right FATEs! Thanks. I assume the areas with similar levels are the best?
Side quest is not so good for exp, but it is better than nothing
Yeah
Be aware that if the dungeon queue is ready, and you can't shake the enemies from the fate
You can't go into the dungeon
Is there a list of areas and their level mobs/sidequests? I'm trying to remember where level 58+ stuff is ...
Gotcha! Thanks. Yeah I did notice 510 prices were low like last week but shot up last night
ah ty!
I'm queuing for Eden first part, Rabanastre and some Trials I haven't done so queues are rather slow. Might as well level WHM meanwhile
Thanks for the info about FATEs hindering the Commence, didn't know that
I swear I could join during a FATE once but might've been mistaken (obvously failing the FATE)
the amount of dungeons I didn't get in...
At the very least, you cannot swap Job mid combat
So if you queue with a PLD, and is doing fate as a WHM
You need to run far enough to shake off the aggro, then swap to PLD before you can join
Which will be very tight timing wise
which pots do a whm, sch , war and drk use ? int and str ?
Healer want mind
WHM and SCH use MND
oh right , thanks
With one exception both your offensive and healing magics on any job will scale off your main stat
That exception is physick which still scales off mind on smn
haven't played for 9 months, only have a 57 SAM and 51 DRG, I guess my priority is to complete MSQ but what could I in parallel to break the monotony and prepare for the late game ? any dailies or currency to farm for later ?
can't really gain endgame currency before hitting it
you can however focus on unlocking various things like dungeons, hunts and so on
They're not super important for "endgame" purposes but still good to have
not necesserily endgame currency but factions to level up or such maybe ?
sure, you could get into beast tribes
But none of that is what I would consider "endgame"
just do (almost) every
you come across, that will be plenty do do at the end of each expansion
Though you can ignore most "leve of X" quests
But yeah there are raids, dungeons and whatnot to be experienced
Which is a nice change of pace from the msq

thanks, I'll try to tackle some blue ones too then I seem to have amassed quite a lot during my last playtime
the
icon means they unlock some form of content
as opposed to the regular
which can be ignored unless you want to do them for the sake of doing them
Is farming 5* cards from NPCs a viable way to grind MGP?
Can u sell the hair styles from the raid
Does it say UNTRADEABLE?
Idk
Then check
Pretty sure you can btw

If it says UNTRADEABLE up on the top it can be sold on mb otherwise it can't
The raid hairstyles can be sold on the mb, yes
That should be The Dravanian Hinterlands, the L58 MSQ is there.
Thanks mate, I'll keep myself in that area then for now while waiting for my lv 80 queues to trigger 😉
does the new 4k UI effect fps?
did this ever get fixed, i am so done with troubleshooting none works
sorry for necro but i am searching people with similiar issue
Technically it will as its more taxing to render higher res ui elements but the degree to which it effects your pc will probably be negligible. Idk all pcs are different
guy every time i try to launch the the game an error show up "FFXIV boot error"[11035] anyone know how to fix it?
heya, i got a friend of mine to try the game, she got shadowbringers on steam and registered it to mog station. but it won't let her log in claiming her id and password don't match ?
I'm unlocking and doing the whole Alexander part. Do I need the loot here being already lvl 80? All those parts and such I assume are for gear that was good "back then" so to speak.,
yeah its basically the same loot system as the tokens that drop in eden
could get it for glam, it's some of the best looking raid sets imo
though from normal mode it's undyable
Are there any weapons/armour that are completely unobtainable again if I remove them from my inventory?
Reboot your PC usually solves it, otherwise clear all cookies on your PC.
garo collab pvp gear if you have any, though that's been unobtainable for a while already
and pvp rewards from specific seasons
other than that, not really
Maybe a typo or something else?
Did she started the game via steam too?
Maybe she can try a password recovery, i think she has made a typo in the password creation.
Nope, you can rebuy that via the Calamity scavengers if you ever owned it.
So uhh quick question for Law's Order relics which area is best suited for Vexatious soul farming in Othard? I'd spam Rabanastre but everyone would be asleep
dunno, it is asking her to enter a one time password but she didn't finish linking a token because that process is not working like it worked for me 2 days ago
Ouch, she needs to contact the SQEX customer service then, it is possible the OTP did got into her account, but it got corrupted somehow. The customer service can remove it in such cases.
This is one of the reasons some people don't want to use OTP, but it is highly recommended to set one up. So you two did a good job in the first place.
this is not entirely correct. you can rebuy it from calamity salvagers if you got the achievement and only the left side of it. accessories are not on calamity salvager
Good point.
where do I access my bank/storage please ? bags are filled with crafting nonsense from months ago and I'm not sure how to tackle what's useful and what's not right now
!faq retainers
What is a retainer?
A retainer is a private NPC that will act as a personal bank for the player, holding up to 175 different items, that can be summoned to any of the Summoning Bells around the world. Retainers also act as your means to sell on the Market Board.
How to unlock a retainer
First, you must complete the quest The Scions of the Seventh Dawn then go to speak to any of the Retainer Vocates located in the market district of any of the major cities.
What are Retainer Ventures?
Ventures are the means to send out your retainers on missions to bring back items for you and can be unlocked by completing the quest 'An Ill-conceived Venture' (Ul’Dahn), (Gridania), (Limsa Lominsa)
oh right that's how it was I remember them now thanks !
also should note that a lot of the early game crafting materials can be tossed/vendored as they can be bought from npcs. Anything with "shop selling price:" is available for purchase from npc
In ShB, I frequently run into
's that don't seem to unlock anything, such as the quest line I finished just now about ||the two viera sisters and the ritual||. Why are they blue quests?
Those lead to a beast tribe iirc
those blue quests are generally going to lead to beast tribes, yeah
^^^ correct
Aha, I see. Wonderful, all I needed to know!
what does the little quest beneath FIRST BLOOD means ?
those are usually your job quests
oh ok thanks, any way to know which job it concerns from here ?
whatever you are currently
The job you're playing as
good, but then shall I be worried about missing such milestones with all the other jobs ?
When you switch jobs, it will show that job's quest
so basically : big quest is next MSQ and little one is "job quest chain" ?
Yes
Pretty much
It is job quest chain like 98 percent of the time
Sometimes the smaller one will be not be a job quest, like it shows the chocobo side quest
It is highly recommended to do your job quests as soon as you get them, as they usually unlock a new skill
That
ok, so I'll just do them all to be sure then, thanks for the clarifications : )
Both the MSQ and the job quests are pretty much mandatory to play the game, which is why they're shown so prominently.
Hi is this game good for someone who just started university? How good is this games story? Any social links between WoL and other characters? Any romance?
Great game if you're planning to fail university :p you'll lose all your time on this. The game is regaled for its story, but of course like any kind of art, opinions may vary. Not sure what you mean with social links, but this is not Fire Emblem.
Ok thank you I mean can I finish all story with 1 week no sleep? I wanna save on sub costs thx. Also I meant can wol and other character like lyse date or hint of romance, I heard yoshida say there is so I wanna confirm
Not a chance, a week is not enough to finish this story. And there is no romance of that kind ^^
to access machinist job I need to acces "FOundation" which is MSQ gated right ?
Yes
Correct
Most of the "romance" is ||yshtola rejecting dudes||
Ok thanks, any p2w mechanics? How about I pay 1 month sub can I finish all story?
thanks, still quite a bit off ^^
No pay to win
If you play up until the end of heavensward before buying the game, and rush story you can probably finish it in a month
Keep in mind that there's also a free trial that covers the base game and the first expansion. No time limit, just level capped.
No world pvp in this game
No
The only pvp is its own game mode
Closest you get is story and level skip boosts but that's just pay to skip not pay to win
No
Is there a guide to clipping for astrologians and Sch?
PvP is instanced
Ok thank you, so basically no p2w which is good because I’m quite poor
Is there any side quests u can do to romance yshtola I mean, like character quest u do and u increase bonds and get social links is what I meant
No
Yoshida said something about romantic dialogue
No?

Ok thanks, what is the best server to join? The most friendly server?
Where you from?
I am in Germany
Romance with NPCs is more a made-up RP/headcanon thing. Nothing built-in to the game.
Well Shiva is unofficial German server but really you can pick any preferred servers for the insane XP buff
Ren it was an april fools event
This is probably what you heard, it's an aprils fools joke from the devs.
It's not real
Oh ok thanks
I bought a switch Nintendo just to play this game, hope I can enjoy it 😆
Thank you all
...this game isn't on Switch
...huh
Can bard move while casting skills?
Yes cause they have no cast bars
Awesome
that's one of the main advantages of all the physical ranged jobs
(mostly) total freedom of movement
There was a little period in HW where bards had cast bars, but they quickly came back on that decision
Are bards and good as dps tough?
Everything is fine though for content
They are absolutely fine
All jobs are well balanced in this game, only if you're playing on a ridiculously high level will the difference matter.
I mean, not even then really
Ahaha, fair enough.
Will you.. be able to notice the difference, perhaps?
Regardless, not important enough to matter
if everyone plays absolutely perfectly... maybe
there are practical differences
drg and mch is not a good combination because heat blast and wildfire cannot crt
for example
The bigger difference is skill floor and ceiling. Even if they all perform equally well, some are easier to do well with than others.
at ridiculously high levels of play it ends up mattering the least, like some world firsts happening with jobs generally considered "weak" at the time or even double job in the same party
my b
This isn't a vent channel
its a seasonal event, most of them are basically comic relief
thanks it worked 
Can you change skin color after starting in this game? Skin color seems to look a bit different from character creator to in game.
you can but you need a fantasia to do so
if you just started, might as well make a new character
but yeah ^
i believe in the character creator you can choose to use the real world as your background
for a better reference
You can
do i need to be lvl 80 in btn for my retainer to go to 80?
ty wasnt 100% sure
I am level 51. Just finally tried the hair guy and thought I could but couldn't find it.
How do you remove mark from yourself?
the aesthetician only lets you change hairstyle/colour and a few other minor things. skin colour is "major" change requires a fantasia
which job has the most hard to pull correctly rotation between samurai and machinist ?
Ok. So is fantasia a late game thing?
It’s a mogstation thing
What are the best minions for Verminion weekly clearing apart from Kidragora?
So got to pay for it?
You get 1 free doing story
you get 1 free from the main scenario quest
You get a freebie if you beat ARR
but after that you have to buy them from mogstation, 10$
samurai, mch has like 5 buttons; you spam the 123 combo, use longer cooldowns as they come up, spend your gauge
thnks ! currently playing sam lvl 60 and it's already quite rich, and I'm missing loads of abilities still
Also, just noting that there's also an Aesthetician in game, for minor edits like hairstyles. I've seen someone make the mistake of using Fantasia for that. @torpid juniper
is there a place i can ask people to join my party?
How do you remove marks?
select the target and use the same mark
try joining a linkshell or a lfg discord maybe
ty
ok thank you
how can I gain movespeed and flying mounts ? it depends on each regions right ?
Flying is unlocked by zone bases
All mounts are flying mounts. Flying must be unlocked per zone.
!faq flying
'How can I unlock Flying?'
Flying is unlocked through the collecting of a zone's Aether Currents, with every zone having ten 'green' Aether Currents found in the overworld and five 'yellow' Aether Currents obtained through the MSQ and side quests marked with a plus sign. Azys Lla is the only zone to not have any green Aether Currents. You must collect all Aether Currents in a zone to be able to fly.
Flying is unlocked in A Realm Reborn zones simply by completing the level 50 story quest 'The Ultimate Weapon'.
'Where can I find the green Aether Currents?'
Upon obtaining the Story Quest 'Divine Intervention' you get the Aether Compass, which is a key item you can use to locate the nearest non-quest Aether Current. This can be set to your Hotbar for ease of use. Alternatively, you can use this website to show the location of all Aether Currents for a zone. http://heavenswhere.com/
nice, thanks
Mount speed increases are also unlocked per zone via progressing the MSQ. Optional even further speed increases are possible by buying riding map items with hunt currency, but these aren't really very useful as flying is ultimately still faster.
To be clear, mount speed increases only affect ground speed. Flying speed is always the same, and it's faster than max upgraded ground speed.
good to know, one thing less to chase ^^
Depends on the type of content.
Hard tag means nothing for difficulty
All things named (Hard) aren't actually hard. They're normal modes which had (Hard) added to them for one of two reasons
In terms of difficulty, I think there's Normal/Hard, Extreme, Savage, Ultimate.
Extreme being reserved for trials and Savage being reserved for raids
Everything below extreme is basically casual content
Oh, Savage and Extreme are the same tier for different content?
Extreme trials are considered more serious
- if it's a trial, it's because briefly in ARR and early Heavensward 8-man trials were called (hard) to differentiate them from the first three 4-man trials in the base game, even though in most cases there was no difficulty below (hard)
With savage content being the 'standard' hardcore content
But there is no extreme raid and there is no savage trial, just wanted to make that clear
Ultimates are basically just optional superbosses
Aha.
All they give are fancy titles, pretty weapons and bragging rights
There's also Unreal, I think that's around Extreme difficulty? Haven't done them yet..
If it's a dungeon, the (hard) is also a misnomer because (Hard) dungeons are simply dungeons that take place in the same lore location but are separate dungeons with entirely separate stories, layouts, enemies, bosses and mechanics from the original.
Oh, for real? Huh.
Unreal is old extreme content scaled up to current spec

So titan extreme from arr scaled for current lv80 players
oh wait, sorry
Cypher meant ultimate
I spouted bs, read unreal as ultimate
I expected Unreal to be like, "the Ex trials when they just came out-difficulty"
Ohh
yeah, that ^
Yeah pretty much
That's what they are
So normal casual content < extremes < savage < ultimate
In terms of difficulty
I'd probably through unreal between extremes and savage
Normal/Hard < Extreme/Unreal < Savage < Ultimate?
Normal and "hard" are both actually just normal difficulty
Higher-difficulty versions of trials are "Extreme" ("Unreal" is a specific type of extreme, not higher difficulty than other extremes)
High-difficulty raids are "Savage" (harder than extreme for the most part)
Ultimate is an order of magnitude harder than savage.
But I don't believe there's a genuine consensus on that
Unreals are literally just old extremes.
how do I find raid training groups?
Due to the low item level sync they're a bit harder than current extremes which can be slightly gear crushed even on release
But not at all significantly
Like I said, between extreme and savage
sigh, 3 hours of troubleshooting for nothing, 2002 forever despite literally the morning i played the game normally with 0 issue
and so did previous days
might as well give up playing if by 2 days it persist....what a game
tried restarting modem, tried turning firewall off, tried deleting wtfast wifi, tried portforwarding the modem
I would like to get the trophies on PS4/5 but I find controller to be a bit of a handicap now that I've gotten used to keyboard/mouse. Can I use the exact same setup simply connecting a keyboard /mouse to the PS5 or are additional settings needed?
I've done most of my progress on PC but did go back to at least get Coil of Bahamut trophy and some others alongside it, however I noticed even the harder content has trophies and I don't wanna be a hindrance to my team, even if for just one playthrough for trophies sake
You can use a kb and mouse on console no problem afaik
Should be as simple as plugging it in
Otherwise you can also switch between gamepad and mouse mode in character settings
There arent new gears to craft, currently, right? Was thinking about earnin some gil
Crafted Byakko and Hades weaps
As far as i'm aware, i dont think i saw any new reciepes?
If you have those mats horded
Also the resplendent expert receipes for glowy tools
I see, thanks @glossy flare . I'll give that a try later. Again it's mainly just getting the trophy to pop, although i gotta say the controller is much more comfortable... I should learn it more tho...
Exarchic isnt really useful anymore?
You can augment it to 520
I was wondering might as well gear my alt jobs if i'm crafting
How do you augment exarchic?
A few people in my static play with a controller and I've never seen them perform any less than the others
Some people buy the cheap Exarchic on market board to trade in for the certs for the augment
U mean materia?
Same way you augmented Neo ishgardian
OOOH
So yeah, this game works exceptionally well on controller
That might reason enough to finally get Exarchic casting!
Buy rain with allegory, trade in gear for certs and buy the upgrades
What about weaps?
Same thing, all Exarchic is augmented
aug cryptlurker is 530
Augmented Cryptlurker is better at 530
so yeah, it's better
Hmm... i see..
But that's still savage onlu
For me it's the amount of commands I need ready. Controller has 8x2 (L2 and R2 sides) but when you have to then toggle more commands with L1/R1 it does make it a lot more complicated, at least for me. Also the simply things like opening menus with a single key, using mouse to drag map, etc. Then again, I'll still give it a go, hope it works well!
you cant get weapon upgrades with nier coins atm though, only from savage
Use the extended/WXHb so you dont need to toggle hotbar
for cryptlurker
Could you elaborate?
Extended/wxhb lets you access other hotbars by holding down both triggers or double tapping one
Im just debating if i wanna grind tomestones
this may be a dumb question
but how do you get in this area of amh araeng?
Which is not something i look forward to.
You can access 3 hotbars without swapping
No plans to remove tomestone limit, right?
It gets doubled latee
You unlock it through the MSQ
As in weekly cap
Wow did not know that, will try it out!
!faq controllerguide
MSQ locked @crystal bluff but assuming you got far enough there should be an NPC in the settlement to take the trolley
@heavy wadi im done msq up to 5.4, its still locked
is there any use for these?
oh
theyre in the settlement
Like just before 6.0?
also dumb question, but what's the mat for the byakko weps? is it from desynth or just a direct drop?
Yeah. Should be with savage unlock
you probably trade it to a vendor for like, fireworks and furniture(?)
The savage weekly cap wasn’t removed? 😱
Damn, I went to anamorphosis thinking it had, now I cannot get the previous rewards
this guy
ty
tried turning off modem firewall too via admin pass
still fail
and it is basically i logged in successfully, internet seems fine
then boop you out, error 2002
They will explicitly mention Savage in the patch notes when its unlocked
sending ticket rn i suppose it persisted for lot of hours
Dang. Ah well. Thanks
Direct drop, chest drop and Desynth afaik.
I heard somewhere that Byakko weapons are now a thing. Are there other trial weapons too? Where can I see them?
Hades as well
hades and byakko this patch
Yes - there are other weapons like Hades weapons and Knight of the round weapons etc
I meant like, new trial weapons
does anyone know how to unlock the samurai quest, i bought the stormblood expansion on the final fantasy store
Saw this mesage while searching for another: What other equipment besides the ring is there for EXP?

There it is
cool, thanks!
You replied this about "completely unobtainable" gear being some PvP stuff. However is that all? I mean, the ones you get like Rose and Squalls outfits? Are they still obtainable otherwise? Same with Tantalus etc.
Those are all obtainable.
This are the new glowy weapons?
Wild Rose, Squall, Cloud, and Tantalus are all veteran rewards.
Yes
which roulette gives more exp? main scenario or alliance raid?
where do i go to start the hero in the making quest?
Since i wanna join the immortal flames but i can't find out how to start a hero in the making quest
It's a main story quest, You'll come across it automatically
Main scenario
ohh it's a level 20 quest i haven't reached that yet dang
Main scenario, but alliance is worth doing too
thank you lol
is the answer to almost every "how do I unlock this" question.
Sounds like something for the bot.
I can start side quests and finish them as my main class and claim the xp after switching jobs to level that job up right?
Is bard one of the easiest classes to level?
Provided the job meets the level reqs
okies thank you
All combat jobs are equally hard/easy to level
It's all down to how much you enjoy playing them

Although technically healer and tank can be faster due to low queue times
I'm still figuring out what class I want to play
Just got to post HW and in idyllshire. I can buy the shire armors but I can't find the weapons. Any idea if I need to progress some before they appear? Tried to Google
You can play all the jobs if you want
I just hit 71 on on my Alt SAM, just did some Bozja - I died - a lot. Any tips?
More stars = more likely to kill you
that's very vague. how did you die
Use Essenses and lost actions...dont aggro rank 3+ stuff unless you know what you're doing
You need to talk to the NPCs from the different guilds like marauder, archer, Lancer etc
@fading aurora you have to "pick up" and unlock other classes. I think you need to hit ac ertain level on first class though. I can't remember.
All jobs are synced to the same item level/actual level so there's no real tips
Subsequent expansion jobs require you to be of certain lecel
You need to finish the level 10 MSQ quest first before you're allowed to talk to the other class NPCs though
so it really is case of "get gud" I was afraid of that haha
@fading aurora try this website: https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Class
Thanx
@leaden ginkgo @fading aurora rogue and pugilist requires lvl 15 iirc
^ pretty much
Poetics are capping and would really prefer getting weapons first
I think I spoiled my self by doing Bozja as DRK for so long - now I feel mega squishy
if you do a critical engagement, join a group
!item Essense of the Platebearer
I know Anima weapons now are mostly poetics -> items, light farm and you get the weapon. How are the ZODIAC weapons from ARR? Are they easy to do now? Or pain to grind?
Wait its action
Still a pain to grind @leaden ginkgo
no it's essence
it's essence, not essense
!action Essence of the Platebearer
cheers all
because of FATEs @scarlet kindle ?
Especially the Zodiac Braves part the 9 books
PAIN
For the love of god
oof that essence is tasty - where do get them? just lost items as everything else?
Essenses and lost actions let you tank and heal as non tanks and healers
You appraise fragments
they are lost actions, yeah
@warm snow that's what i was worried about. guess i'll just stick to anima weapons then
platebearer comes from fragments of skill, specifically
There's 9 books for each weapon, each needs you to do 3 leves, 3 dungeons, kill 10 enemies and do 3 fates they're all specific and you can only do one book at a time
oh I get it - platebearer, like the armor. Not some one bringing food
Only thing that's annoying about them is having to farm them. Especially considering how powerful they are.
They are so powerful that going into something like CLL or DR without an essence is almost griefing. Almost.
cool cheers all
How many weeks/months would it take for a ShB relic?
For your first relic probably 2 weeks minimum, though 3 weeks are more realistic
Not for Shadowbringers
Bearing in mind that they are not yet complete, the last step comes with 5.55
hansel and gretel..... the red/blue arrows going between them
wtf do you do for that mechanic
You can probably finish one from the stsrt within like a few days
They switch places
They're swap
Oh, for real? Huh.
So do the opposite
||separate them and attack the one with an attack buff||
okay and where do i stand. lol
Not gonna spoil cuz new patch
They each hold up a weapon telling you which side they will strike. If they tether the sides will swap
Oh that one nvm
Stand where you would stand if you wanted to get hit by both and they didnt have the arrows
Wrong answer
If they lances are out they'll strike the outsides so go north...if they're inside go south...if they're tethered then you do the opposite
i just woke up, but the friendship circlet, the brand new ring, and xp boost earrings you get from preordering expansions are the main ones, usually
I only have the brand new ring, I assume I can't get the other stuff anymore?
Friendship circle is raf iirc
the friendship circlet is from doing refer a friend
Also eating
how do i rejoin novice chat? i got temporarily banned yesterday for being extremely mad at a specific trait
Well probably get a new exp boosting earring for end walker pre orders
On my Mogstation it says I've referred 1 friend, so I assume I should have had it at one point....
the earring from preordering, you can't get the one for shb anymore, but if you preorder EW it will likely come with a new one
Its for being refered
Probably so its still obtainable
Any mentor can invite you.
but yeah, you can also get a 3% xp buff gained during combat by just eating most foods
oh, since i'm a free player i can't send tells
Use say
Could shout in Limsa or something.
In limsa
ah
Can't shout
You get the Friendship circlet for having one referred friend resub for a second month.
Oh, indeed.
But use say
and FCs have a 10% xp buff during combat as well they can use
Or 15% for tier 3
No fc if free player tho
tru
if you're free trial all you have access to as far as xp buffs go is the brand new ring and food
afaik
If i buy the complete edition do i get the base game aswell?
yes
And 30 days?
yes
And all the expansions right?
Yes
Are they planning a new expansion soon? I don't want to spend money to see myself spending again in a few months
Yes
new expansion is set to come out sometime in august/september, most likely
What is the price?
for my retainer that is my botanist do i have to buy her botanist gear or just the axe
2 years
2 years
Like in wow?
only thing you pay for outside of expansions is the monthly sub
is there an album for the most recent relic gears?
Just axe. Gear if you wanna do specific ventures for the stats.
In your opinion is it worth buying the complete edition for 20€ (on a key seller) and in around 4 months spend another 40?
i failed to log in cuz wrong pass for couple of times, now i have to wait, anyone know how long i have to wait?
Do not buy from key sellers
i'd avoid key sellers
Almost always stolen and outdated
I've never had issues with the website i usually use, bought a bunch of stuff there, or is it only a FF thing?
ty. i just looking at what to send them on since i have never bother with them
with other games it can be whatever, but for a live service game, if the key you bought was from a stolen credit card (which is more than likely), it could potentially result in your account getting revoked
Anyway. You can buy starter now. Then the expansion when it releases
Or just wait till expansion releases. Same price either 2ay
squenix usually puts the game up on sale for 50% off every couple of months anyway
even complete edition
What are the classes that craft weapons? Blacksmith is one, the others?
its always at your own risk from key resellers, but i know a handful of people including myself who hasnt had any problems with the site that we've bought it from
Blacksmith. Alchemist. Carpenter.
Even if you don't have any problems you would be supporting a very shady business model.
goldsmith
Thanks!
Are the 2b leggings and such something that will be timegated or can I just farm today to my hearts content til I get it?
they are permanent
2b can be farmed
Nope
ty finals 😄
Ive never had any issues either :/ im currently playing wow and everything in my account wansnt bought in the official store
Never has
the only one with weekly lock out is the newest nier raid, paradigm
hey guys how do i get to the isle? its surrounded by mountain
Just a general warning. If you are confident then its up to you.
Dive
Fly or underwater
i cant find the opening underwater
I dont think they lock out cosmetics?
the stuff in the extra coffer on the final boss isn't weekly locked, no
look for a row of red lanterns underwater, east of the island
they will lead you to the entrance
oh found it thank you!
When at max level, is there anything to obtain from beast tribe quests other than reputation => vendor unlocks?
are the augmented shiny trial weapons usually added at the end of an expansion or are there just none of them for Shadowbringers? this is my first expansion and I couldnt find anything on google 😦
They're added in patches randomly really
And what trial is random
This patch added Byakko and hades
But this expansion added more
Alliance quest line
Super fucking random dude. We got zurvan weapons in 5.4
Its illegal methods and keys
The keys were bought from the mogstation
With stolen cards
also you run the risk of getting your account banned by buying from a site like g2a, which is not an authorized third party seller
Well now I feel stupid for the Manes I've sold months ago when I farmed byakko. Thanks regardless you two o/
Id you're found out you're banned om the spot
SE will ban if they find that your key was bought with a stolen credit card, and you won't be able to get your acct back
Oh, good call. Thank you Kat.
Never trust g2a
Some people sell keys then the keys become invalid
Because they were bought ilegally
https://i.imgur.com/X6Ut3Mr.png
Which prizes are these? Can't seem to find them on the Prize Claim npc
rain maker is bought from the modern aesthetics saleswoman
Just that? 😦 already got it.
afaik yeah thats it
Alas, thank you.
Can I only use scions from the seventh scion base?
Use them for what?
How come my cross world linkshell is not working in dungeons?

where to unlock the raid
which raid
that raid
Same place as the previous raid
i forget where is it at
i just resub
KUGANE
Yes that's a city in this game
then where do i go
I don't know all I did was point you at the location for each expansions alliance raid
I don't have a clue what you're looking for
the new raid
kholusia
the dwarf village without an aetheryte, forgot the name
either Tomra or Khomra
The new normal raid or the new alliance raid?
alliance'
8 man or 24 man
for the hair
no
it's disabled for the time being
(excluding stuff that matches you with other people)
to make amends?
Dungeons etc. Are still cross world but if you were in another world last time you logged in you're stranded
???
the quest name

One of these?
There were extra quests added to the yorha raid series in between actual raifs
to make amends is part of the nier quest line yes
Yes
yo is the byakko crafted mat a chest drop?
oh good to know
Iirc the shield is the cheapest one and can still give it
tyty
shit
what happened to titan unreal
im sad
its gone
its levi unreal now
And tilts
And hysteria adds
Tilts can be gap close cancelled a lot more comfortably than in titan because you travel the full slide distance and get it off
But yes the fight has its own challenges
Does anyone know how much nuts does it cost for augment materials
Dang that’s a lot
is castrum 24 man now?
Only drs got adjusted afaik
ohh okay
It can be done with 24 ppl
yea
Castrum has always been completable with less than required amount
Though since its a CE it should have the hubris thing kick in at some point
The notoriety?
Oh
If for whatever reason there is less people
Iirc crystarium ester isn't buyable with nuts so probably won't be getting crypt ester either
The Exeter for crystarium gear still isn't in the nut vendor is what I'm saying or did I miss its removal?
Hw do you lock hotbars on PS? Also, can I lock so I don't switch them with R1?
how much mettle does DR give btw ?
78k at rank 15
how much does CLL give again?
Scales based on rank for CLL, so for rank 15 its probably around 60-70k
I don't suppose you know about rank 14 number ?
When should I use Meisui?
ty!
since both tcj and meisui are 120s
since when do trials give 2 totems ?

Its a case of "ok I'll take it sure"
indeed
Did a double check you're right, ester only through alliance raid coins but still not immediately on release
hello can somebody help me, I'm trying for days to get my old account up and running. I've sent ticket to support but still no answer
For a new player at lvl 21 , how far is this for me, from my current lvl?
not sure what your question is, that table relates to content way down the line
And you need 5.1 story done and lv70 24mans done
Technically 80
it requires 5.1 quest completion so it's technically lvl 80
80 to unlock, 71+ to enter
yeah
Ok, tyvm for the answer.
Basically 3.75 games away

Where’s the setting to turn off those interaction arrows for furniture?
When you say 5.1, is it the patch number?
Yeah
Of story yes
Character Config -> Display Name Settings -> NPCs -> Housing Furniture @rough fossil
is cryptlurker the "easiest" to get highest ilvl armor?
Yeah
Thanks!
augmented cryptlurker is better but augmenting it requires either savage or time
Wow, so to reach the current game position (update) i need to clear the x.x patches?
is augmented excharcic ilvl 520 as well?
That's where you're wrong kiddo
Yes
Yes, you're in arr. Which is 2.0
For the new collectable stuff is it just for the level 500 primary weapons for crafting or is there something im missing? Since relic is 510?
oops read it wrong
Since crypt lurker armor can now be augmented through hunting and alliance raids as of 5.5
Rip me, 😭
yeah but the paradigm coin is weekly locked
Its for very shiny glamour
hence... time
even if you augment via nuts that's still time
Do you know where at? I'm not seeing this shinny glamour
cryptlurker is by no means hard to augment now if you are willing to do it more slowly
does this quest outright not work? bc it never worked for me
yeah the weapons so maybe I didn't look at them i'll look again
and to be fair if you have no intention to do savage then it doesn't matter anyway, might as well go the slow route
/s With the Wind while targetting the npc
@fossil swift its case sensitive right
Target the shiny thing and type the words in say
and yeah those are all case sensitive
Yeah I'm targeting with the exact sentence
and you're typing Wind, not wind?
@faint flare It glows yellow but my relic is better so I'm going to I guess pass
Yes
and in the say chat right?
Yeah I just keep typing it but it's not working
send in a screenshot then
max relic is 515 right now, just for the record
not 510
Are you including the quotation marks or something
ah, my bad
I just got my first level 80 (Paladin) and want some help with melding.
Is this still accurate for materia priority?
no quotations
also how much sks do I put on?
was about to say my relic is 510
ok so until it hits 2.4
Go here for more detail
Anyone feel froggy enough to do the Chrysalis with me? waiting on duty finder for 12 min and trying to do MSQ
it's a lvl 50 trial
and no one wants to do it lol
#recruitment-aether
okay
is there a way to change the character display names back to the old font 😦 the new one is really hard to read for me
i hate it so much
Try without targeting
You seem to be doing multiple ixal quests, are there multiple looking for a carrier?
how dead is mahjong in ffxiv? ive never played it before, ffxiv or otherwise, and was thinking of doing so but if nobody plays it i wont bother
i have 2 that require saying things in chat
The orange circle on your map, what side quest does it correspond to?
Blow, ye winds
hmm afaik its not like super popular/active on NA servers.
shame, ive always been interested in it and ffxiv reward incentives seems like as good a reason as any to try it but if its dead then nvm i guess
try capitalizing "the" in the sentence, see if that works @fossil swift
might just be dumb but can't find it whilst googling
what's the unlock req to Memoria Misera (Extreme)? :v
Do the first part of the Shadowbringers bojzan/Save the queen story
Do the Bozja quests until you fight its single-player equivalent
Requires 24 mans?
Did something happen to world visit just now
To start it yes
Its been broken since patch
this just post shadowbringers msq stuffs?
or am I going to have to track down some side quests
