im so dumb i wasted soot dye on my chicken outfit
It's also usually dirt cheap on the MB (at least on my server). I bought a stack of them when I was low level on the cheap
All dungeons drop pieces of gear, though not full sets all at once
I can't even contact support because it's asking for my account email, but I don't have an account
okay, thanks
Most dungeons do have a full set for each armor type though
I really hope I didn't spend money on a game I can't even play
I'm doing MSQ for first time around lvl 54. I've done first few raids and they are fun but I want to finish MSQ, if I wait and want to do lvl 60, 70 raids etc. Will I need to complete all these lvl 50 raids to be able to access them?
No
Nvm found it
You can skip side content if you want and do it later
I didn't do alexander or any alliance raids until I had finished stormblood
Back in like 2018 lol
Cool good to know
They are fun but im trying to finish ARR and it's hindering my pace lol
Thx for info
does snow white dye also have to be crafted
i dont believe so
only the green rarity dyes need to be crafted
or the ones on the last page of your dying menu
those are the crafting only ones
unless you splurge gil on the market board
The green rarity ones can only be obtained by retainers on quick ventures, or buying them with real money
hmm i dont see the vendors selling snow white dye
mann
I know dalamund red is as well
Hey since my Astro is lvl 30 and my other characters are lvl 50, how should I be lvling up?
Do leveling roulette
Duty Roulette: Leveling, ye?
Fosho, ty
is palace of the dead still good?
It's good for leveling dps if dungeon queues are bad
Tanks and healers usually don't have trouble queueing for dungeons though
no help, then. i guess thats 20 bucks down the drain.
@quaint flume only support can help for account issues. nobody here works for square enix
Hi, can anyone make a party for me and my friend in free trial please? we are in Chaos - Spriggan
@quaint flume square enix is really finnicky with email addresses. just create an account with a different email
otherwise you can contact support here https://support.na.square-enix.com/contact.php?id=496&la=1
Reason noone is helping you is because noone knows the answer, literally π¦

isn't there a live chat support? maybe they can help
Try the #recruitment channel for your server, or just go to Limsa and try asking in /say π
ive tried contacting support, but it has a requirement to enter an email tied to an account, and i dont have one
pretty sure there are other ways, just gotta dig
thats what im trying to make, but it isnt working
whats ur problem? is it about it sending a confirmation code but it never actually sends?
he can't create an account cause email is in use
then he does password reset and it says no account on this email
im trying to create an account thru the launcher
keep in mind mogstation login isn't your email, it's a username. it's possible you have an account but you're entering eail and not username
Square Enix ID is not the same as email address. does it ask for Square Enix ID whe you do reset password?
no, it asks for my email
yeah
i dont think i have a mogstation account either
again, ive never even played the game
were you trying to create a mog station account
make a mogstation account
https://support.na.square-enix.com/contact.php?id=5382&la=1
go to chat support or phone support
this games account creation is a headache ngl
Does this game got mods?
its so overly complicated for no reason
Like for textures and stuff
@quaint flume from that link you can also submit a email ticket without logging in
It had unofficial mods for textures and the like, yes. Model edits are a grey to outright banned area
mods are illegal
Mods exist in a grey area, they exist but don't talk about them in game
shaders are fine
Any recommended ones?
people use reshade or gshade
i would use gshade since i find it easier to use
i go to try and do chat support and it asks for my square enix id and stuff
which is a problem, because i dont even have an account
There's also stormshade, but I haven't looked at it in awhile
@quaint flume "If you do not know the required information, please provide your best guess."
d
i was trying to register an account through the games launcher
keep progressing thru support... just answer your best guess
try inputting the email you were attempting to use
What is that for flower? I feel like ive tried all spells but its still There
if you don't know, just answer "unknown"
@shrewd mirage afflatus misery
That's a blood lily, it's a dps move
Oh That explains it Thanks haha
Hey guys I just hit level 20 how do I go about getting a mount
!faq mounts
'When can I get my first mount?'
The quest that allows you to use mounts, 'My Little Chocobo' is unlocked by completing the level 20 main story quest 'The Company You Keep'. The quest is located at the Grand Company base you chose and you'll need to buy the Chocobo Issuance from your Grand Company Quartermaster. You can get the 200 needed Grand Company seals by doing the main story quest that comes after 'The Company You Keep'.
'Are there any differences between mounts?'
Besides looks, all mounts are the same speed along with being able to fly. Some mounts allow multiple people to ride at once.
'Can I make my mount faster?'
Zones have one or two ranks of mount speed that increase the ground speed of mounts. The first rank comes from completing specific quests in the main scenario quests, with the second rank coming from Riding Maps which are bought with either Allied Seals, Centurio Seals, or Bicolor Gemstones. Mount Speed Boosts do not increase the flying speed of mounts.
Top half
there's ~800 quests to the end of MSQ, level 20 is not far at all π
everything is locked behind msq
Every expansion is a full game in length just about try not to rush things and take your time π
I just want to not walk everywhere
I've tried renting a few chocobos
But don't Wana spend all my gil
you'll unlock a mount at lvl 20 in the msq
oh man, wait till you discover aether currents
Something tells me that the Abalathian Mistletoe is obtained the same way as the Dravanian Mistletoe is it? It spawns at certain times.
Sprint is a little faster, and only the fastest buff applies
They don't stack, and pelaton is slightly slower
@rustic flare doesn't the gathering log show the spawn time?
Some do, some you have to find manually for it to show up
How do I find the spawn times?
A Final Fantasy XIV Gathering Clock for tracking available node locations.
Once you gather something at least once the info will be in your gathering log forever
Sweet, the spawn time for that is in 18 minutes
A tale as old as the first MMOs emerged. It stinks now, but once you unlock your mount it's with you forever.
@leaden ginkgo I hit level 20 three times now because I can't decide on a class so I'll probably never have a mount at this rate lmfao
Stick with the msq, and you'll get it. Just gut it out on one class until it's unlocked and you'll never have to think about it again. =D
As far as mounts go, this game is one of the more forgiving I've seen in terms of getting one. So there's that at least
You don't have to make new characters for new classes btw
you can be any class on just one character
Even at level 20?@glossy flare
yes
Yep
I'm archer right now can I switch to gladiator
Yep
it's generally bad etiquette to have a healer rez macro correct?
You can switch classes freely once you have unlocked a given class
you can unlock other classes once you do your lvl 10 class quest
How do I do that
once the game lets you go to uldah, yes
@manic flare its just not needed
Hit level 15 msq
go to the gladiator guild, accept the quest, equip gladiator weapon
i mean text wise
And you get to freely move between regions
I finished class quest up to level 20
@fading aurora to change class, once you unlock the class, you just equip that class's weapon to become that class
yes its just not needed @manic flare
Then you can already unlock other classes
By just doing their respective unlock quests
Location and lvl requirement depend on the specific class
Gladiator is in another city
I'm confused
Is there a moogle faq for unlocking classes?
Which you can not access before you do some more msq
to get from gridania to uldah you need to unlock the airships via msq
i know ast nd whm have dif like.. spell speed once u meld so how do i find a middle ground bc i have both at 80
Since you are in Gridania you could for example unlock Conjurer (White Mage)
@elfin wagon they both use 2.42 gcd or something
Or Lancer (Dragoon)
At level 15 msq, you get to visit all the different city states
ah i see
I'm close to level 15 msq so I guess I'll do that
Believe me. I know. It will be worth it. You will see.
But once I unlock it, will it be level 1?
Yes
Yes
yes
yes
So I'll only have 1 skill?
yes
almost
eulmore NEED a MB
There are some classes that start at a higher level, but the ones you have access to then and there start at lvl 1.
Hi, can anyone make a party for me and my friend in free trial please? we are in Chaos - Spriggan
levels go up faster when it's your second class
ask in main cities
But yeah, you get an xp boost whenever you are leveling a class that has a lvl below your highest class
If you do the novice network training missions, you can get a ring that boosts your xp gained
also since youre over level 15
do the smith quests to get the brand new ring, if you havent already
i try but no one responde xD
ty
Getting to lvl 15 again can be done pretty quickly btw
One last question , if I finish all mq and don't switch class do I have to gain all xp for other classes by killing stuff and dungeons?
Or
basically
There are a few methods but essentially, yes
But that is still waaaayyy faster than going through the msq again
!faq altlvlguide
As a general rule, once you go far enough in a game -especially an MMO- you learn how to make leveling more efficient
It's so long to go to fetch stuff for NPCs lol
@leaden ginkgo I've only ever played 1 other mmorpg that had all classes on one character
It's how it goes
Just for the record, there are also classes you can't choose at character creation
Quite a few actually, 7 of them
Like ninja?
yes
the others are expansion jobs
Those start at a higher lvl actually
That's fine, it's a fairly recent concept for me as well. I'm confused how my previous statement connected to this one though.
because in other games you would just create a whole new character and do the story again
In the other game I played you started at level 1 with the other classes but your character had a its own level so u could equip level 90 gear and level from 1 to 80+ in a few minutes
But that doesn't seem to be the same here
No, it still takes some time to level alt jobs
But eventually most people get a few jobs to max lvl
Is there channel here for discussing a little sensitive stuff regarding implications of lore? Somewhere you can, for example, talk more at length about morality in ffxiv world and how it relates to the real world? 
no
It doesn't really matter though. In any game you learn how to speed up everything because of experience. WoW was the same, UO, Asheron's Call. Even Monster hunter. It applies to all of them.
do not connect the ffxiv story to the real world
that's against the rules
esp with politics and stuff
Usually there is like a #no-filter or something like that in discord channels that is hidden. Was wondering if one was there. If there is no one I'm fine following the rules.
there isnt one because one too many people kept bringing up nazis
It is 
just leave the ffxiv world as fiction
hello is there way to log in as "invisible" so others can't see me?
No
I was more concerned with philosophical implications of ffxiv stuff. But that usually drives the talk back to reality. As they say, better safe than sorry so I asked for both
@@remote lintel
#archived-lore-spoilers does that sometimes.
^
Talks about the philosophical implications of the plot.
as long as youre not relating it to real world events
All fantasy has a seed of reality in it, it's just a matter of not taking that seed too far.
another question i saw some guy drive by me in the Regalia
is that a mount? how can i get it?
It is a mount, you can't currently get it.
Can't right now
its from a past event thats long gone now
It was from the FFXV crossover event.
of course....
awesome!
That event may rerun at some point in the future (they've hinted it will), but we don't have a timeline for it.
who knows when that will be
i enjoyed ff15 but i know several people who disliked it a lot
noctis's outfit will likely come back with the event
Well regardless of the game, 4 person mounts are nice
The FFXV event had rewards including a triple triad card, a dozen or so FFXV soundtrack orchestrion rolls, a Noctis glamour set, and the Regalia mount.
cool
also does the expansions or complete sets ever go on sale or is the price pretty static?
Yes
They do go on sale periodically, yes.
and would the sale happen directly with SE or from playstation store?
Both
More often on the SE store, but sometimes on the PS store as well.
The sales usually overlap for PC and PS.
Steam does its own thing though.
okay cool i guess ill just keep an eye out
What determines if a preferred server is open for a new character or not. I've had them open and close twice now when creating my character 
Just how many people are logged in at once
!faq serverlock
Standard, Preferred, and New Servers will dynamically open and close themselves from newly created characters depending on how many players are online. To ensure you're able to make a new character on your server try waiting or doing so at a less active time of day.
Congested Servers will not unlock for new players or transfers until Square Enix removes the Congested Status.
Thanks 
Is there a recommended stat allocation when upgrading your resistance weapon? Dark knight.
Crit det sks
No tenacity?
Tenacity is shit
melding ten sucks
Okay.
It literally does nothing
So 510/510 crit/det, and 147 sks?
Is there a way to save your ui for another character?
Yes
Cool, thanks.
Not really. Youβd have to go into the files to save them onto other characters
is it possible to obtain UI profiles from other players?
ie share UI profiles between accounts
If they send you the files I think so?
I donβt know if it actually works though
I need to try that
What is one of the easiest classes to level with?
Fastest to be more exact
4 votes and 10 comments so far on Reddit
my vote goes to arcanist cause you can dps anytime as summoner, then become a scholar for fast dungeon queues. you'll hardly be waiting for queues
Tanks and healers in general due to better queue times for dungeons
U haven't healed in a mmorpg since world of Warcraft wrath of the litch king
Lol
Lol
I*
Scholar are pretty cool healers. you have a fairy pet that does a lot of heling, and you can cast shields to pre emptively protect ppl
So the pet does the heals for u?
i think fairy heals are like 100 pot or something
!action Embrace
!action Regen
Eh just under
what makes fairy good is that it heals hp, wheres SCH focuses on shields
It's pretty much a permanent regen though, cooldown 3 seconds equates a regen tick
The pet does some healing on its own but itβs mostly on you to manually activate pet skills, I personally dislike scholars for not feeling great to use outside of raiding
Not that I prefer healing regardless
When it says new characters can't be made in a world it means the server is full right?
At the very least, it means the server is populated enough to require a queue to get in
It's temporary, just too busy right now. Try off hours
I've been trying to get into malboro since I started
Even tried at 4am

is there a guide on where to progress with level 80 gear? cuz i dont meet the ilevel requirement for my next dungeon
so because im on trial, i can't use the duty finder? how am I supposed to queue up for dungeons or daily roulette dungeons and stuff?
or have i just not unlocked it from the MSQ stuff yet?
You can use duty finder, not party finder though
You need to unlock duties before you can use it
Which mostly come from MSQ (the first several anyway)
okay was a bit worried lol
You get your first duty from the level 15 msq that has you venture into Sastasha
!faq gearguide @vernal inlet
You can either buy gear off the marketboard, buy gear from clan nutsy, or grind the dungeons you can do for gear
oh okay
cuz i only have one level 80 dungeon available
thank you @vernal urchin @remote lintel
for the weathered armor
You can unlock two more in eulmore and the crystarium, respectively
there is no waist
D:
If you start the Eden raids, you can get gear from those as well
Correct channel? lmao
Guys, I saw the snowman mount. Yeah I think Ima just be a hermit in the wild and play FF14 for the rest of my life
I keep getting world data canβt be obtained try again later. Is this a issue on my side or SEs?
Congestion measure. It's ok
lol
Yeah I had 2 MB/s when I downloaded
Server issues, routing issues etc
It's the normal download speed from the server
It's why I use XIVLauncher instead
Normal launcher kinda doodoo
i can install faster using that?
when enemies are casting and there's an orange indicator on the ground, when do I take damage ? let's say I step outside of the zone after it disappears butbefore the attack animation of the enemy comes, am I safe ?
Not always but most of the time
@astral cobalt no
If the cast finishes, it snapshots if you're standing in it
Doesn't matter if you dodge the animation
you need to be out of the orange zone before it disappears
Okay. I have a level 60 weaver quest to make a Chivalric Doublet of Healing.
the animation itself doesnt matter unless its like a channeled attack
ok that's what I thought then, thanks
you can be out of the zone and still stand in the animation and be fine
For me to complete that quest. I need to have some sort of mastery in weaver I believe. I do not believe that I don't have said mastery. So. That quest is a bust for me.
maybe sprout tanks... are painful
Hi I just started the game as an Archer , but I want to be a Bard , an NPC is asking me if I wanna dedicate myself to Archery , should I accept ?
You need to buy a master book from rowena in mor dhona or idllyshire
Unless I can find someone with that mastery to make it for me.
you need to be an archer to upgrade to bard
Bard is a direct upgrade to archer
Go to Mor Doha, there should be a trader north of the aetherye where you can buy the Mastery books
!recipe chivalric doublet of healing
Difficulty: 982
Quality: 7874
Durability: 70
Master Weaver III
Chimerical Felt x3
Aurum Regis Nugget x1
Hallowed Ramie Cloth x1

Grade 1 Mind Dissolvent x2
Dawnborne Aethersand x2
Lightning Cluster x2
Wind Cluster x1
Craftsmanship: 620
Control: 589
Oh so I have to dedicate my self to archery
you need master book 3 which can be purchased with yellow scrips
You must accept and do all the archer quests up to level 30 to be able to unlock bard
its just asking you if you want the archer class so say yes @leaden ginkgo
Master Book 3 is bought with scrips from one of the many scrip traders
!faq scripunlock
Unlocking scrips (Foundation x10, y10.)
Unlocking Idyllshire's House of Splendors (Mor Dhona 22, y6)
Unlocking Rhalgr's Reach House of Splendors (Rhalgr's Reach x10, y12)
Unlocking Eulmore's House of Splendors (Eulmore at x11, y10, on the top floor)
Yes correct. I was thinking 1 or 2 
make sure you have the quests done for idyllshire scrip vendors
just comparmentalize them by expansion @glass oyster
1/2 = ARR
3/4 = HW
5/6 = SB
7/8 = SHB
I am in Revenant's Toll now. Which npc has the book?
Scrip exchange
Found it. Except one big problem. The Master Weaver books are in Volumes and I would have to purchase them in numerical order. Sometimes it requires certain raids to get said scrips. And it can take many months to get the requisite scrips needed to purchase the book.
what can i exchange these fete tokens for?
And scrips are fucking easy to get
You exchange them for a variety of stuff by talking to the scrip person near the entrance of the firmament
thx
And there are a variety of yellow scrips. one for each type
There isnt
There's just crafter and gatherers
And they're borh really really easy to get
Hell weekly custom deliveries give you like 3k a week
Before even doing normal collectibles
Where can I do these quests?
You can unlock the first custom delivery person at 60 in Idyllshire
Collectibles are unlocked in ishgard via Inscrutable tastes quest, which unlocks scrips tk begin with
I have that part unlocked already
As for the Inscrutable Tastes quest. I completed that as well
guys about flanks/rear, can u just circle around an enemy and be at his flank 24/7? it is working like that?
no
!faq positional
you need to hit the specific sides
if you're the target of a moving enemy, you will not hit positionals unless it's casting
and immobile
well, the fun thing is that im right next to him so im a little bit faster then him
and it looks like im on his flank 24/7
but it might be
that im very close to his cleave zone as well
is there any difference in visuals
when u hit flank/rear?
i only saw ! to a number
like 56!
but dont know what it means
propably crit
how do you hit positionals in solo boss FATEs?
hmm
so tiny that i didnt see it at all
cant you do leg graze to immobilize boss? and then do your positionals?
Enjoy! Note that my weekly Q&A is running late today so putting this out in the morning and the Q&A out in the afternoon!

something like in 0:23?
what about for bosses that take up an entire side?
Now a question. Can the Chivalric Doublet of Healing be traded?
Yes
Bosses that only have one direction ignore positionals.
Sweet!!!!
@faint flare that yes was to me? ;D
items that don't say marketboard prohibited can be traded
No
π
lol
Some market prohibited items are also tradeable so that's not a good metric
in short, while circling an enemy that is moving to face you might look like you're hitting positionals
you aren't
oh, like which items?
Airship stuff
yeah cocobolo lumber is a popular one
@agile laurel ohh, okay
If it says binding or untradeable up top it can't be put up on the market board
it's basically minigames
Listen to the npcs basically
They straight up tell you what to do
anybody know what the presumably special treasure map is?
i dont recall seeing it before
From Zonureskin iirc
im looking it up but there isnt much online about it
99% sure it's the fanfest-related map.. "activities"
Maybe
Maps like that are usually 100% chance of treasure dungeon
The βseemingly special treasure mapβ guarantees lv 70 portals so...
when do you unlock more than 1 duty roullete? Im currently lvl 48, msq lv 30
50 story
PvP is 30, guildhest are 10
trials at 50
sick, thx
?
is this a question
do you have a question?
whatever it is it looks cursed
^
Ok let me explain.
I bought blk mage lvl 70 and this is what I came up with after 4 hours of gameplay.
!faq blmleveling
just use this
the main issue with what you made is that you're using a lot of aoe spells in a presumably single target rotation
are the fish I catch by fishing used by another profession ? dunno what to do with them
fish dont have a lot of uses
I did it i got all the arr dungeons done and trials that arent extreme.... unless there are more 0-o but i dont think so... how can i check?
@remote lintel I do wanna see what kind of damage this can do tho. Even if it's super wrong
Like none
Certain fish are used in cooking
You'll be below healer dps probably
@faint flare well funny enough I'm always 2
i mean single target flare while also in umbral ice.. just not good
why do you have scathe there lmao
How do u see achivements?
If you really want to compare DPS, download ACT and slap a target dummy
@remote lintel because the next skill needs 1 sec before I can use it. So I put scathe because it's instant
Character > achievements
There are a lot of errors
Scathe is sin
like recast enochian when it won't drop if you do your rotation correctly
Late leylines but way too much
BLM looks really hard to play...
the rotation isnt hard
every job looks hard to play out of context
^
foul you can basically "store" for 30 seconds as long as you don't overcap the polyglot timer on the gauge
so there's no reason to use it asap either
flare in single target is a bad idea when the mp can be spent much more efficiently on fire4s
Keeper of Lake & Steps of Faith are the last ARR dungeon and non-extreme trial respectively so if youβve beat them
the umbral ice phase you want to keep as short as possible but "long" enough to make sure you get your mp back in full, with a bad mp tick 2 umbral ice gcds might not be enough
I dont have em ye t i guess i need to do more story missions
so it's usually Bliz3, thunder/foul, bliz4, fire3
Arr experiementing
Content. And ARR was an interesting time lmao
it's their first attempt at a modern mmo project
ARR they just threw a lot of stuff at the wall
HW onwards is a lot more streamlined
you dont have to do the hard mode dungeons if you dont want to
I did 16 trials and dungeons and it took me 2 days to do em cus they so draining
I did em anyways its to late 0-0
but y tho
I see you are a fellow "see sidequest, do sidequest" person as well
Oh wow exactly 30 dungeons i have done so far
Its mostly blue ones
I was told they are important so i do em even the lesser important ones however i tried a ultimate one and i cried so im good
I just hated seeing all the sidequest markers on my map lol
you mean extreme or savage? ultimate is entirely different
I do to however i hate the blue ones mostly
i gave up on completing every single side quest when i got to like lvl 40
Extreme i tried with a team the uhhh amphithetre one and it was bad
I did them on sight when I was first playing through the game in 2017
Ye i learned em kinda tough as a tank
I spent what felt like an hour doing all the sidequests in middle la Noscea under the impression that you had to do so for the 2nd rank of mount speed before it was known
It was mind numbing
Haha
wynne no
I believe I did every sidequest in the game until I hit level cap in sb
And I still had sidequests left in the fringes and loches
your maps must be so clean
It's very nice
I don't recommend it though lol
Well, if you're leveling other jobs and you're waiting in a queue, it's not the worst idea to do sidequests
Omg im one away from the next dungeon aka the last dungeon of arr
One main quest i mean
Good luck and godspeed!
Im at best laid scheme
Anyone know how I get the Magitek Armor mount? I've beat the Ultimate Weapon quest but im not seeing where I get it? Is it an item I need to consume like minions or another quest to get?
use the thing in your inventory
It's a key in your inventory
Ahhhhh lol ty
Dont worry after seeing it for the next 2 weeks you will no longer want it :>

does black mage barding make ur chocobo go faster?
No
no barding has any effect
weird i feel much faster lol
But it does make them look cool π
Barding is cosmetic
probably got riding speed increase by coincidence
can that just happen?
Story increases it
What's the best pet to use when leveling up as summoner?
For that zone
As you progress in the story, your mount speed goes up in zones
Summon 3 for single target, 1 for 3+ enemies
Summon 2 for single target prior to summon 3
Ok thanks
u know whats weird there always use to be so much overworld music
now i never hear it
how does one apply markers to the not-active-at-start side of cloud deck
Saved waymarks
You can turn off the mount themes in the sound options
but like how do you APPLY
At the ebd
If you don't want to hear the chocobo theme constantly
you can't place marks in combat anymore right?
Omg i just relized u can read your journal after a cutscene and all the cutscenes i fo will be there but faster lmao
This will save me alot more time
You can also rewatch cutscenes in any inn room
Woah crazy
Later expansions don't keep as detailed of Journal entries though
But this is awesome reading what the convo was about is amazing no more seeing my character nod and take up 5 secs every nod
Ok
Stoic nodding is a ffxiv staple lol
nod
Characters make fun of you for doing it so much later
But on occasion we get sad nods
the journal is only a small summary of the cutscene
Ye but for those unimportant non voiced cutscenes ima yeet em
They're not unimportant
theyre still important
A lot of cutscenes are not voiced but still vital to the plot
Especially in the early days
Its hard to get i to a story when u dont want to i think they should make main story quest optional ya know? And not hide all the end game content behind it so that way if people really wanted to do it they could then it wouldnt feel like a chore if it was my choice to do it
My opinion anyways
If u read a book ur not forced to
U want to
the story is 75% of the game
It's an RPG at the end of the day
if they made the msq optional then the game would have maybe 20 hours of content total
Story will always matter
Anyways my opinion again
Their design philosophy with the game was a final fantasy game first, and an mmo second
Or at least not make me run to so many areas and like mash up the story into one
is there a quick way to check for available plots in a certain city?
not really
check from the aetheryte for plots with a pricetag
Why must i keep teleporting back and forth to citys its so crazy to me
but that doesn't tell you if they're buyable
would you rather walk the whole way?
because its the logical thing to do in the story
obviously if you skip the cutscenes you'll realize how much teleporting you do
if you don't skip the cutscenes then it flows
so the ones with a price tags are the available ones/
?
Tbh my mind is mush atm i think ill really start to focus when i make it to the dlc
just take a break, it's not going anywhere
Empty, not necessarily available for buying
ARR sets up literally everything that happens in the expansions and you won't understand anything without it
Must... get.... to dlc....
thats a bad mindset to have
Please don't have this mentality
the dlc is only good because ARR makes it good
That's how burn out happens
^ also by trying to focus so hard on something a decent way away you're just literally ruining all the content you've got to do beforehand before you even do it
just unlocked squadron missions, are there better recruits than others ?
theyre balanced
No, they're just visually different
Stat differences come from their classes really
thanks good to know
They are all same. Just skin
Some have different glamours like a snowman lala
not really. most people spend vast majority of time grinding than doing the story
yeah I'm getting rid of the lalas ASAP
D:
sure but you can't level grind in the game because no matter what level you are you'll still be stuck at msq level content
so, I'm nowhere near msq 50, is there a way for me to get a lv 50 weapon without reaching msq 50?
feels like I'm sending children to war

Market board otherwise no
Sure but there really is no reason to ever waste your money on that
just wait
still on the free trial lmao
Is bahamut raid important?
@void cargo ask someone in "say" chat to buy it for you?
it covers the 1.0 story
For 1.0 wrap.up
@delicate field trial can't trade
It's pretty good tbh, the coils story
oh true lol
Its not "do this immediately" important
^ but it is easy to do if you're not on free trial by using party finder
@astral cobalt Eventually you unlock "perks" for squad members that have conditions ie: have a percent chance to work, need a certain race/class alongside to activate
It's totally up to chance which ones you get
Not really
Just some chemistries wont be usable
Some say "when with X race, get Y"
Hi everybody, I will start ff14 soon and I would like to play a tank! But I hesitate to play PLD or DRK, for the end game both are good ? And which on is the most fun ? Cheers guys and thank you for your future answer π
you can't play dark knight until you reach heavensward in the story
My level 50 alc quest wonβt load and just hangs on the cutscene
yep I know I can to play DRK lvl 50 π
The two tanks you can start with are gladiator/paladin and marauder/warrior
the differences are that pld has a physical dps phase and magic dps phase, drk manages a blood gauge and mana and weaves more
But I'm interested in the end game ^^
There's no bad jobs
Only shit players
Just press your buttons and do your job
And mechanics
I mean with endgame your focusing more on what you do in the fight as a tank and less about what an individual job plays like, especially for tanks tbh
Those are important too
Do all mounts have same speed. I switched over to magitek armor from choco and seems slower unless I'm trippin?
for which one ?
All of them
xD
@nocturne void they have the same speed
There's no (except one or two) useless skills
You're tripping, bigger mounts just feel slower because it's bigger
magitek armor looks slower because youre higher up
when do you get the discount items for teleportation?
Larger mounts seem slower but they're the same speed
Cool yeah I wasn't sure thx lol
Ahh thank god for this begginer silly question section ha
It's not a real problem for the invul DRK ?
No
Have you attached a refer a friend code to your account?
The attack you're invulning was gonna kill you anyway
So you were already gonna need healing
Soooo
as long as your healer isnt eating dirt you should be fine
and both are funny to play ?
Quick way to level 49-50? Spam roulette?
pld or drk ?
and if your healer is eating dirt you're probably fucked anyway
i mean drk is fun to me
havent played pld
and do aurum vale afterwards if decent queue times, otherwise PotD floors 51-60 spammed
is there a fix for this directx11 crash i keep getting?
It happens randomly but it's been happening ever since the update
Unless you decide to solo ||Lunar Bahamut||
PLD feels bad when you get magic until your thingymabob makes your spells instant cast imo otherwise great
I'll have to look to what those meanπ
i only played it to 50 until i could get drk 
Aurum Vale is a level 47 dungeon, PotD is Palace of the Dead, it's a deep dungeon
Does Lily heals appear as Medica or Medica 2 when it heals?
When will ryne's outfit be available? And is it a store item?
and I can to choice PLD 30 and lvl 50 choice drk ? is good ?
Thanks. Do I have to unlock the potd floors or can I jump to whatever's good?
@oblique yew unknown
Because I've had.. 2 runs where I keep getting Medica heals rather than.. lily heals
They're not called medical
Lily heals will say Afflatus
They're rapture and solace
There is a checkpoint at floor 50 that lets you spam 51-60, otherwise you gotta do them in order
@lilac musk you do the story as pld until you get to drk yes
nice
oh jeez. That explains it then
50 i choose drk until 70 and finaly i prefer play pld it's possible to reroll him in pld with the same lvl ?
no
^^
you will have to level pld
ok ty very much guys π
All jobs are seperate levels
very difficult to choice between both
Just play both
okay so I found an empty plot with a pricetag, but there's like 30 people outside of it talking
is there something am I missing? cant any of them buy it immediately?
Completely random timers
so no way to know when you can actually buy it?
Nope
nope
Nope
could be 2 hours, could be 24 hours
Welcome to FFXIV Housing 
Could be longer
pretty sure it goes above 24h
meaning that if I want to buy it, I just have to spam the buy button like everybody else and hope I get it?
yes
Yes
thats a massive yikes
Have fun, still better than the old system
thats housing
Housing Savage - latest and greatest content. Never ages 
This will hopefully get better when they add ishgard housing
there's so many people too
it would be more bearable if there were 3-5 people waiting
feels bad π¦
Its Housing Savage for a reason
it was worse when the demolition timers were frozen so plots didnt free up on their own
I'm almost done with ARR, when I unlock Machinist do they start level 50? Also hoe hard are rotations compared to Sam iyo, because I want to change I think
30
30
mch rotations are piss easy
Also the rotation is a lot less complex but when you get heat blast if you have fairly high ping it can be a pain in the ass since your heat blast phase consists you just mashing certain buttons as fast as possible
Okay good to know, idk if I want to level Machist even though I want to change, or is it not so bad leveling an alt without first time MSQ?
!faq armouryexp
'How do I get the bonus experience from the Armoury?'
As long as you're playing a Disciple of War or a Disciple of Magic class that's a lower level than your highest level class then you're able to benefit from the bonus experience. You do not need to have a class at level 80 for the bonus to be active.
'How much is the bonus experience?'
You get +100% experience from levels 1 to 69, which then reduces to +50% for level 70 to 79. The difference in level between your current class and highest class does not change the amount of experience you get.
alts lvl slightly faster
This helps, also it's faster than first time anyway because you don't have to main story and you already have all the content unlocked to grind
!faq altlvlguide
Duty roulette are good once per day
When you look at the roulette reward
You will see two row
The first row doesn't have a set figure on the reward, while the second row is the Adventurer In Need bonus
Solid info ty
First row is the meaty daily reward, it doesn't have a fixed exp, Gil, and seal figures on it because the bonus granted at the end of the dungeon queued from this roulette will scale to match your level
For example, if you are a lvl 56 job, and got a lvl 20 dungeon from the leveling roulette. The daily bonus exp reward will scale to match your level, as if you have done a lvl 55 dungeon. Plus a lil bit extra
Ahh I did not know thag
That so lvl roulette is not pointless I see
Lvl 30 job getting the same lvl 20 dungeon, will get bonus exp as if you have done a lvl 28-30 dungeon
All of them scales, but by a different amount
roulettes are the best source of exp only behind msq
For exp, you want to do Leveling, MSQ, and alliance
except the 50/60/70 roulette and normal raid
Curious why this one is bad
Raid and trial are okay for exp, I personally use them if I just needed a bit of experience to advance to the next level
because level cap dungeons dont give good exp
Lvl 50/60/70 dungeons were the endgame dungeon, so they were never good for exp
So their roulette follow suite
If you are grinding dungeons for exp, you don't want to grind lvl 50/60/70 dungeons
47/59/69 right?
47
That's the highest one under 50
But yes, you got it right
This will apply to Endwalker too
If you want to grind an alt from lvl 80 to 81 so you can do lvl 81 dungeon, your best choice will be Mt Gulg (lvl 79)
(after roulettes)
Oh my god. I didn't think of this for 70-71

You have changed everything
If you did lvl 70 dungeons, it will take you around 10+ runs, or maybe more.
Lvl 70 only need to grind about 4 lvl 69 dungeons to hit lvl 71

@warped nest thank you 
π
if you mean the new moving image thing then you buy it from the vendor
Theyβre not crafted, and only one might be available currently
oh!
The other one might be from treasure maps or another source
what does this mean for tusukyomi ex?
the meteors werent spaced out enough
^
Is the world travel feature back up again?
how do i space them out?
Which vendor is the TV in then Cerberus?
Put the north and south meteors basically right by the wall, on the smaller color
The vendors that sell a bunch of various housing items
you should be dropping 2 on the majority color and 1 on the minority color, at the top, side, and bottom of the arena
I thought that the relics would be better than anything else
I know I'm not on the final step
the relic is better
It depends what you need
These look like they will be a huge pain to make
The ones named βHousing Merchantβ in the housing districts, or the maidservant for the NPCs you can put in houses/apartments
ah ok
The item is called βAzim Steppe Phasmascapeβ and is in the βotherβ section
Oof so if you have really good luck these Resplendant tools cost 6000 scrips?
Wtf are these requirements π
I assumed that XD
Theyβre basically for completionists
The crafter tools are brutal in how many scrips and the amount of expert recipes you need to do.
They won't give me any benefit for the most part?
Any oneon console have wxhb issues in the ps5 version?
None that I noticed particularly. Anything specific?
I'll 100% gather and fish every item
My wxhb wont show up
But @obsidian patio I can just do those expert recipes with a macro once I'm level 90?
They nuked my whole ui π
Did you save your settings?
Yes
When you're 90 we'll probably have stats high enough to macro 80 experts
Then youβre experiencing it naturally at a higher hud size
Just go to system config and reduce the size of all UI elements to a smaller %
I did 90 and that put most of it back in relative order
Must just need to make some things smaller, or even all at 80 depending on your TV size
And yes, at level 90 you can just do Trained Eye and then spam progress moves like Groundwork
Oh yeah trained eye exists
I feel like they may actually do that
I wouldnβt be surprised if they do that. π
I would do that if I was a game dev
Yeah that's teue
Just to attemot to keep their challenge
Even with the higher stats
Old grade experts from ishgard has some macros iirc...think i saw a few floating
Cross menu
Go to thr cross tab
Bottom of that
when can you join a party?
Anytime. But the first time you have to do party content for the main story is in level 15 MSQ, quest "It's Probably Pirates"
If you're on the free trial, you can't invite others to your own party, but others can invite you.
And when you have to do instanced party content the game will automatically matchmake you via the Duty Finder.
ah mk
Thank u.. Got it
Is there a way to shrink/move the hotbar on console?
Its the cross hotbar in hud editor
Just to follow up, I was complaining about ps4 lag yesterday. If you have a Roku tv, be sure to switch to gaming mode for PS4. It made a huge difference!
Ah cool. Cheers
@scenic bolt
I wanted to see what was going on with the game, and it has some files to patch and stuff, but then it says that it is unable to patch files. Is it because I've been away for so long or is the game just stupid right now?
disable any vpns you have
Got it
hey guys, is Castrum Lacus Litore ded already?
huh, i dunno but i only see 10 participants when it's up lol
Depends on time of day and people in the instance

how do i open the archive of stuff from the nier raids?
Duty > collection
thank
ah right, might want to wait for a bit or just standby inside Bozjan
I just hope i can finish the resistance weapon before the next step released
oh one more thing, i saw some ppl have a faster mount speed while inside Bozjan. is that a thing or is it just me?
there's a riding map you can buy with clusters
What's the name of the track that plays in Korma? I assume it's some Nier thing because googling "Korma music" doesn't bring anything up
wtf did he kill to get this achievement during junction shiva
Hello what do the symbols next to fish caught from sea fishing mean?
I guess ice pillars spawning and then going away/"dying" must count?
They're enemies on the enmity list and they're in combat with you, soo
Hello, im new to the game and i was wondering if I class change into dark knight to do the 300 dungeon achievement for the battle panther mount, would i be able to switch back to my main class and be able to use the mount?
ty!
!faq grandcompany
Which Grand Company should I choose?
The only differences between the three Grand Companies are the looks of the equipment and where they're located. The story doesn't change in regards to the Grand Company you choose beside the quest that comes after "The Company You Keep". Here is a link leading to sample sets from each of the Grand Companies:
How do I get Grand Company Seals?
You can get more seals mainly by completing your Grand Company Hunting Log (Go to the Hunting Log and click on the GC icon), completing FATEs, and turning in crafted/gathered items to the Personnel Officer if you have crafting or gathering classes unlocked. Once you are Sergeant 2nd Class you can turn in Pink/Green/Blue-rarity gear in exchange for more seals.
What is timesworn zoneruskin map
And can i use it?
do I need a certian decipher level to use it?
what will I get out of it?
There is no such thing as a decipher level, you can use it. It shows the way to a treasure chest, which spawns some trash mobs and then gives some loot when you open it. It has a 50% chance to open a portal to a treasure map dungeon, which you can take on with a party. Would recommend at least three players.
Level 80.
Gil, furnishings/glams/minions, rare crafting materials
They're a common way to make money casually
Said crafting materials usually for glamour or mounts
alright thanks!
When was maitnance today?
Ended about 17 hours ago
