Does anyone knows the release date of 5.55? I have seen it somewhere but i have forgot ๐
End of May
No specific date?
servers still locked down right?
Not yet.
I see...
We will probably get the date during the May fanfest
so as a new player, what's the best route to buy the game? and how exactly does it work. I know it's by subscription but do i just buy shadowbringers or do i buy that as an add on etc etc
shadowbringers is only dlc
I have yet to do 5.5 cause i am currently unsubbed and this is going to be my first fanfest. So should i expect any 5.5 spoilers there?
You can play the free trial up to level 60/end of Heavensward with no time limit.
Shadowbringers is an add on
buy the complete edition
To buy the game you either have to buy:
Starter Edition + Shadowbringers Standard Edition
OR
Complete Edition (which combines the two above into one purchase)
Depending on how new you are, and how you think about spending money, you might want to hold off on buying Shadowbringers or Complete Edition
Endwalker, the next expansion, is coming out later this year. And it will including everything Shadowbringers has
Endwalker's nearly six months away though.
gotcha. how much is the usual subscription? do i have to buy that price every time?
!faq subprice
Again, really depends on how you feel about spending money
The only gameplay difference between entry and standard are character quota
We strongly recommend entry
ok then
You can play all classes on one character anyway
so buy the complete edition, then I pay the monthly?
Alternatively, you can buy Starter Edition, pay subscription. then grab Shadowbringers or Endwalker
I do recommend trying free trial first, though.
oh i've tried the trial a bit and im enjoying it
You get all the content of the base game and first expansion (over 100 hours of story) with no time limits. Only limitations are trade and social
Complete edition is simply Starter Edition and Shadowbringers rolled into one
understood
Is Shadowbringers a story thing or just new content. because if it's story, that'd take me a minute to reach correct?
Story.
It is a continuous story
All expansions have a full game's worth of story.
Starter Edition is season 1/2
And it goes linearly from A Realm Reborn > Heavensward > Stormblood > Shadowbringers
Shadowbringers is season 4
so ill just wait on that then
Stormblood is included with Shadowbringers
and just go with starter
If you're on the free trial, buying starter edition is kinda ehh
it adds no new content
if youre planning on buying the game then you might as well just buy everything
Because all that content is now in the free trial.
shadowbringers is a one time fee?
yes
Starter just unlock the social and inventory limitations of free trial
youre buying dlc
Upgrading from free trial to starter edition only removes the trade/social limitations.
oh ok lol nvm then ill get it all
starter edition is the base game
shadowbringers adds dlc
then you need the sub on top of it
Thanks for your help everyone. I appreciate it
Just to be clear, sub price is the same one way or the other
Shadowbringers purchase is a one off
that's what i was worried about before
Even if you buy and play XIV on PS5 and PC (separate purchases)
Still pay a single sub
that's nice

is the new unreal easier than titan
Is there a live chat for customer support, first I can't purchase anything, now I'm locked out of my account for "suspicous behavior"
is the first leve you get from someone in a town not abandonable?
hey in Kicking the hornets nest the game wants me to tell the marauders to "face /me" what am i supposed to do here
target the npc and use the emote /me
ok thank you i couldnt figure out what emote to use
it literally tells you the emote in the objective
basically whenever you see something written as /whatever
its indicating that emote to use
thank you
Any idea why my friend can't make a character on Excalibur?? The world status says he should be able to
!status excalibur
try again
He tried twice, maybe a game restart?
or try backing out of character creation and trying it again
Hi, for Samurai, when do you usually try to use Shinten ?
when youre going to cap on kenki
At earlier levels, you won't use it that often. Once you reach 62+ however you'll be using it a lot as a meter spender.
You get Shinten at 62
Oh right ๐
Okay, he got in now ๐
ooh cap on Kenki thanks
Shinten is a kenki dump...ideally as much under raid buffs as possible so always keep some pooled
My friend in trial lives in my house, I can feed their chocobo but they cant feed mine, is there something wrong or is it not possible for them to feed my chocobo?
ohh right that makes sense
For E12S P1 share beam post Titan,, do we just have to align, or do we have to actually stack on top of each other to share?
How does that work exactly? The whole freeloading part
Not sure where to look but, did they mention how long the PS5 Beta test will last for?
Does anyone know what the yellow icons of jellyfish and what not mean for sea fishing?
just indicates the type of fish, since there's achievements and such for fishing up specific species. like shark, jellyfish etc
Ty ty
WDym
How do I as a trial player get to live in another playerโs home?
They just gotta share the estate with you
Apartments arent possible
FCs arent I think
Its personals that you can
Housing -> Estate Settings -> Private Estate -> Shared Estate Settings -> Then they choose your name from the Friends List and choose what you get to share
Well okay, lot simpler than I expected
I can unlock samurai after getting to level 50 right? before i start any of the next dlcโs quests?
yes
noice welp that is my next goal get to 50 and get samurai

yo, do any of u guys know the name of this white haired lady in black that appeared on the death unto dawn art? she looks so goddamn cool and i rlly wanna know more about her character
That's Admiral Merlwyb Bloefhiswyn of Limsa Lominsa, head of the Maelstrom
yeah she was in the 5.4 story a lot
@jade quartz did the devs roll their face on the keyboard to come out with that name
What in the fuck
๐
Merl wyb, Bloe fhis wyn
= Sea-wife, Blue Fish's daughter
Roegadyn has a whole dictionary of words. It's inspired by old German with the spelling all messed up.
ty alot!! im a long time fan of final fantasy but new to ffxiv smh
not as bad as Nyunkrepf Nyunkrepfsyn
i figured it was german but it has weird old english spelling
devs are slamming their keyboard buttons while leaving a german autocorrect on that hopelessly attempts to fix the words up
Does anyone know roughly how many tomestones do I need to do a complete set of aug exarchic?
I thought it was 1 rain per gear. I have been disabused of that notion
700 for weapon, 2X 500 for body and legs, 3x 300 for hands feet head, 6 x200 for rest of the slots
So.. 4100 total? Exclude weap
I dont think i can bring myself to craft the weaps too
i mean you can just buy them, you only need 510 to enter all content in the game
Is there a weap alternative?
True. But i thought might as well gear up all my classes
relic from bozja is your best bet
Sigh.. but the final step isnt out yet right?
yeah it only goes to 515
Final step will go to max ilvl and be BiS
1 per run
Oh. I see
with CLL giving 5 per
castrum lictorius or w/e its spslet
Ah. Gotcha
I dont think i got a single one from CEs
Unless theres a rule of havin the relic equipped?
Then CLL it is then
But we can overfarm them, right?
As in, they want 15, but i can just keep goin?
yes
Just use it for next relics
exporting goods from your server to other server using alt... is not against ToS right?
๐
where can i buy the diff types of bait?
npcs, depends on what's bait you are looking for
or from MB in case it's cheaper than npc
just looking for diff kinds. the guild doesnt have a vendor so thats why i asked
what is mb?
can that be accessed on a trial account?
ok thanks
Hey all! I've been trying to login for about an hour now but keep getting met with: https://i.imgur.com/H05cbdM.png
Is it just congested servers?
i heard something about certain servers having problems which not being able to be logged into characters. maybe yours is one of them?
there should be a place to tell you what ones are having problems
How do I access the mount actions
Idk which hotbar it's connected to
I switched to my regular hotbar and now can't find it
Just press R1 and it should work
FYI pet hotbar and stuff works the same way
Ya
I can't own 2 augmented shire rings, right?
you can now
they changed it a few patches ago
just lvl 80 rings are still "unique"
the tomestones one
for the free trial, what happens when you reach lv 60? does the game kick you out until you buy the game?
just cant earn exp on the lvl 60 job/class/progress msq past the trial point
can continue to play as much as you want
weird question but I'd like outsider input, which eye colour suits this character better? thinking of using a spare fantasia
what if I'm still on msq 30-ish?
I like the contrasting colors of the 1st one
You'd just wouldn't earn exp on the lvl 60 job
I like the top image, but I like bright eyes against dark hair/other features
I like top as well but the bottom eyes match the bow in the hair.. I might just go 1 though
Dark eyes with light limbal rings 
I see most parties running tank+dps 8 men and just burning
no stacking for the tank buster, no pausing just burning
I imagine you could do it with 6 or 7 but you really need to be able to dps fast to skip the big mechanic
ye i know thatโs the ez way

but sometimes i can get only 4 frens in off peak time
how do i put a seperate hotbar that has my mounts?
character config > hotbar
does physical damage count as unaspected?
Unaspected is purely magic related, pretty sure
aight
was just curious cause I'm doing Carnivalle objectives, and one of them is use only water or unaspected
just to clarify a bit more, when talking about unaspected it just means its magic with no elemental tilt
not sure if blue mage works any differently, but i would imagine that the phsyical skills wouldnt count
and then where? @remote lintel
is solo potd to 200 floors doable?
but why would you do that to yourself?
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1oV_SIs5L9kD_NHO2ZsU4Tw8R6iQ4v1RC5fZPQqK6cD8/edit is a really good google doc that covers how to do it
not helpful
plenty of reasons why someone would want to solo potd, namely the achievement
ye sorry. if you want to then go ahead ^^ me thinking itโs too much is irrelevant
Probably new msq
Msq
ah
Generally if you see a crowd of high level people inexplicably crowding an area they have no real reason to be this close to the patch.. msq.
can we enter the fashion report right at 12 am friday
@fading helm you tick the hotbar you want
or does it reset at like 8 am or somethin
fashion report is part of the weekly reset iirc
are you trying to put all your mounts on one hotbar
system > hud layout
Don't let it be daunting
Just mess around with it how you want and you'll be good
its showing you all the hud elements
obviously youre not going to have them all on screen at once
dont worry youll spend a few hours on it :)
not all at once mind you, but it will happen
so many diffrenet type of keys, getting overwhelmed
Yo anyone got any idea how I'd go about finding a farming group for Deltascape 4 Savage?
Tried using the in game thing where it sets up a looking for grouo type thing last night for a bit, but got literally one person
can i put a specific mount on the hotbar
Is there any other way of going about it, like a website or something
like i just want my chocobo there not the mount guide button
yes
Yeah you can Griz
ohh got it
just click and drag your chocobo
yeah i found it
At what point do different starter zones come together?
wym
@vestal remnant The way you can make it easy on you is , look at all your skills. Just look at them read them, set them on your bar EVEN the ones that you can't use yet. Make it so skills with similar effects are next to each other
It'll make your life 10x easier
theyre already linked together
yeah i have the combos together for easy access
@hushed garnet LVl 15 is when you're allowed to leave your zone
just that damn this takes my whole laptop board
What you can do is also keybind using Shift keys so like Shift W
lvl 15 is when you leave the zone if you started in limsa
you can leave the zone any time from uldah or gridania
I started in Uldah. So I'm 16. If I just up and leave I will get their MSQ over there? o_O
no
I am on a preferred server so I think I'm a bit higher earlier
you unlock the airships to the other areas at lvl 15 msq
but you could walk to gridania if you really wanted to
you just...might die
haha, so you'd suggest do MSQ til airships
that is trie
that's how its meant to be yes
^
also does my class quest line matter? Like I have way of the thuamage, not sure if this is a must do or not
cause there are some big leveled dino when u get to the woods
period
So on Diamond Weapon normal, the move where he zig zags - I cant see an opening when he does that. Is there a better indicator than the ground markers?
also do your class quests
and its mandatory for unlocking black mage
@halcyon grail he does zig zags and then a straight line down half the arena, so you stay in the safe spot between the zig zags and then move to the safe half
Yes, I know that. However, I'm having trouble seeing the safe spots. All I see is continuous red.
zoom out all the way and look down
I am.
i mean if you still have trouble idk what to tell you
or you could just follow everyone else
I'm still inbetween arr and hw, are the beasttribe quests worth doing at all or should I just keep chugging along with the msq
theyre mostly for exp and take a long time to rank up

I do ixal beast tribe to level up my crafters and get venture coins to level up my retainer job
I'm also between arr and hw
after hw you unlock an area where you can power level all crafters
Oh
...why can't I change pose?
Edit: What the fuck is the point of /gpose if you can't do anything in it?
how do i unlock the splendors vendor in eulmore?
all the guides are outdated
more specifically if im on a character that has never touched collectables or splendors
but past MSQ requirements and with a DoH/DoL level 80
!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)
Do the first 2 quests and then the Eulmore one
You have to change it outside of gpose.
@obsidian patio that first quest doesnt show up though
unlocking scrips
inscrutable tastes
Then you already did it. Is the 2nd quest there?
no theres no quest and its on a fresh character that hasnt done any of the scrip unlock
and def not that foundation unlock
on DoL level 80 and at shadowbringers msq
For people who would like an example of some neat looking bars
I'd recommend using 1-5
Then you can start keybinding to Shift + whatever key
As well as Ctrl + whatever key
Does anyone know what best way to farm Tomestones of Allegory is? I feel like everything takes an eternity.
nevermind, the quest was hidden behind another one that i had to take
for desynth
Daily Roulettes supposedly @honest tusk and supposedly highest expert dungeon you can do
Expert and level 80 roulette are the big daily ones. Alliance raid and normal raid give a decent amount
You can also join hunt trains for bursts of allegory/revelation
Hunt trains are definitely the fastest, if they're running, as well as joining a discord/cwls that will let you catch S ranks
Aside from that, level 80 dungeons roulette probably yields the most allegory if you're prioritizing it over revelation for some reason
why won't this work
How is he changing from rear to flank without moving the camera? https://youtu.be/Kv7SF2tSe3Q?t=149
It really took me a while to get a solid number plus a solid execution (Still not perfect) But here it is, the chance and hope for Melee Jobs to reclaim the throne...Under certain Circumstances
See you on Twitch as well on Monday:

just A and D?
basically
Are you doing it as โFeo Ulโ with an L or an I?
It's my first day and I am having great trouble finding my way out of Linsa Lominsa >.>
If you open up the map, it should show giant red arrows for zone transitions
And they should be labelled to tell you where they go.
of all the bullshit...
Yes you can freely swap between the two in the character config
Oh alright cool, thanks
At the top-left of that menu is a switch that toggles between them
anyone know how to make gshade ignore UI?
Thanks, I am not sure how I missed those
@raven haven from how I hear my friends talk about it, you canโt. Thatโs why some presets are labelled as โgameplay friendlyโ and do their best to not mess up the UI.
do i get more yellow gathers scrips if i unlock different custom deliveries or are they all the same scrip wise
yes
can i wear it now or like
you right click and use it
do i have to be lv 80 in quest
it will get added to your hair menu
you get more for current Customs so Kai-shirr, Ehll Tou, or the Ishgardian Noble
when you go to the aesthetician
wheres that
Go to your Inn (not the Pendants) and right click the aesthetician bell
for 2000 gil per use but yeah
I actually think kaishirr and Ehll tou got downgraded in 5.5
ah it says im not authorized to summon an aesthetician
You need to do the quest, which you can find in limsa
it's pretty quick and you get a free use token
@fading helm i gave you a link that explains it all.... :\
my bad i didnt see cuz 2 people tagged me at the same time

Oh man I did the dumbest thing ever. On my 26th run the chest wrap actually was in the loot and I got overjoyed pressed need, thought I got it and left
Turns out one guy didnโt roll
Now it wonโt be in the loot pool for god knows how many runs
I am depressed
But hunts do not give Tomes of allegory no?
they do
oh thank you in that case ^^
Should I be doing all the side quest?
you can ignore the yellow side quests
Side quests are purely lore and give very little exp. The lore is good though.
are important, blue with a + symbol, they unlock stuff.
What about red
Locked
Ohhh gotcha thanks guys
where can i buy gyashl greens?
Many vendors, what city are you in right now? ๐
Maisenta New Gridania (X:11.5 Y:11.2)
basically any overworld vendor too
pretty sure there's at least one in every zone, in some settlement
if im doing msq with white mage, should I choose casting or healing coffer for gear?
healing
Old quests use coffers too now?
is there like, a certain ilvl i should get my retainers to?
or is the higher the better
!faq retainerbp
@jolly sorrel some of them do award coffer to streamline gearing
ty ty cerb
I think it exists since Stormblood
I remember getting a hailstorm set for my healer when I return to XIV to play Stormblood
Head to their guilds. most of the being in Ul'dah
Is there a way to repair all items without having to select the groups?
theyre divided between all the cities
thanks
True, but for crafting Ul'dah has the most of them
both limsa and uldah have 3
what does Ul'dah
alchemist goldsmith and weaver
any tips on what to start with
Oh yeah, you're right. I keep forgetting bsm and arm are separate
allright
summerford farms

how can i get a dyeable version of jingasa? the lvl 60 coffer armor for SAM
jingasa is lvl 70
is there any like trick or special action to take if you ever get the 1016 "world data could not be obtained" issue when trying to log into a character?
sorry, 70*, but how can i get a dyeable version of it?
Looks like it's an issue on Sqeenix's end
@leaden ginkgo you need to do eureka
It's the instance servers in general having an issue. Not much you can do on your end
Thanks. I tried to look it up and found only one or two other people with the issue in the discord earlier today and forums I read online said to try reloading the data center and that was the best I found but didn't work for me. I can play other characters on other servers though so that's neat lol
What factors affect slidecasting? Sometimes I successfully slide with 1s+ remaining, other times I get interrupted with .25s on the cast timer. It's wildly inconsistent. I have a pretty good PC and internet, lag/ping shouldn't be an issue.
server ticks
I don't have an exact explanation for it. I'd hazard a guess that it's on the server ticks. It's the same reason why jumping isn't useful for dodging things. The server itself catches you differently than you see yourself moving.
Another question, if anyone has any tests for me, is that a friend of mine that just bought ff14 and has a standard account is getting a "set up a square enix account enter your registraion code" error when mog stations shows he has access to arr- shadowbringers on windowssays he has 28 days remaining (free play period)
I read that others with this issue simply fixed it by adding a recurring sub and even if they had game time it gave that error sometimes if they canceled their sub early
did they already have a standard account and bought the game?
I don't know if they already had one, but they sent me screenshots of the mog station and it shows O on all the expansions under windows tab and does NOT have the red "register account" button on his service account at the top
should i buy a lvl60 weapon from the market (samurai)
what is he trying to do
did they buy the game on steam or windows
windows and he said he used the link from the email to download the exe
so hes not launching the game from steam then
correct

Buy a poetics weapon instead
you could tell him to try using the ff14 quicklauncher
thanks!
where can i get that
and how would he go about trying the quicklauncher then?
fixes a lot of errors people get from the regular launcher
i will have him try that! thank you
i told him to actually set up a subscription because I read that some people said they had 9 days left of game time but said they needed to register and once they added 30 day recurring sub they were able to log in again. i dont know if his account saying free game time means he could use the normal launcher or had to use a trial launcher and I dont know the difference between them
Idyll shire or blue bag merchant in ishgard if you've finished base heavensward
once you buy the game you use the normal launcher
the trial launcher updates itself
thank you
good to know! thank you for the assists!

Hey what level should I actually put effort into gear
level caps
hi , just wondering , can i go over 20,000 wolfs mark ?
no
also , for the msq patch 5.1 does it require to be level 80 to accept it , or can i switch to other class at lv 70 and still accept it ?
oh , ๐๐ป ty
am i missing something here? hozan is missing. i watched videos on yt, and he's supposed to be here
click the quest objective
I just hit lvl 50 on my astro, so I decided the best way to celebrate is go to the event area just to listen to that banger of the song
i know there is a guide for leveling alt lv 1 to 70 on reddit , but is there any guide for leveling alt 70 to 80 ?
Itโs basically the same deal, except that Trusts are an alternative to slow dungeon queues, along with the Bozjan Southern Front as the โreplacementโ for Heaven-on-high
beast tribe, roulette, dungeon, bozja
If you go the bozja route, make sure you've got relic quests up.
thanks , im learning paladin right now , and everytime i do dungeons i pull 1 group of mobs cuz im scare im gonna die if i pull more than that , and i got yell at by ppl in my party ๐ฆ
Also note that if you appraise 1000 bozja fragments, you get a +10% exp bonus earring
i think i just gonna go back being a dps , tank is so stressful
And there are some cheap fragments on market
@flint kernel More so, you need to look for the efficent wayto pull things
Meaning you don't have to pull the whole room but you wanna find a way to the next area
Also you need to see how much your healer can heal you for
Remember that your cooldowns are a means to stop you from getting into bad situations, not to get out of them
@flint kernel You can play Dancer which is a straightforward class
You get more value out of popping rampart at the start of a big trash pull rather than waiting for your HP to hit 40%
70-80, I would start instances with a wall to wall, see if the healer is capable and if not, fall back to double pulls
There's generally two wall to wall pulls between each boss, rotate through your cooldowns effectively and you should have most of them covered
i pulled a group around 8 mobs , but idk why , ppl in my group keep running forward and pull more , then we all died
Most people at high levels expect wall to walls
Keep in mind your gameplay loop doesn't really change whether you've got 20 monsters attacking you or 3
No gear coffer, just hair
Ah thanks
i think i will try to play all the class and see which i like most , as of right now , i think summoner is easier for me compare to red mage
A brisk guide on tanking endgame dungeons and doing Big Pulls in FFXIV.
--Gameplay from FFXIV version 5.2~5.3
What's inside:
๐ก A Speedy Overview of a Tank's Goals/Responsibilities in a dungeon setting
โ
How you help the other roles
โญ๏ธ Why you should do Big Pulls + How to do them!
Check out the follow-up after this one: https://youtu.be/IcvZ7N...
This is a decent guide
About what people expect you to do as a tank in high level instances
Difference is also, these people who tank and pull a lot of things know the dungeons
For a new person they don't know what their limit is so its understandable
This may be an odd question but how would a person go about getting the Gordian, Alexandrian, and Midan set pieces, is it just a matter of soloing the Alexander raids at level 70+
Yes
Well that was easy, thanks.
Or do you mean from savage?
I'm not sure, I was just looking at the Sundry Splendors shop for HW gear and I liked the Melee DPS set
Wrt Savage Alexander:They can all be done unsynced. Some are soloable, some are a bit difficult to solo, they are utterly crushed by anything larger than 4.
Savage is dyeable
Ohhhh.
Normal isn't
Normal can be soloed quite easily
Well I guess I need the savage ones, lol
Obviously better stats too but you don't really care about those probably
Nah
Does delubrum reginae give loathsome memories?
Generally if you put up a PF during a reasonably busy time to do it unsynced, you'll get some glamour hunters
No
And with enough people even Savage gets utterly crushed.
Cool, I'll give that a try. Thanks.
where to get nier automata eyepatch

Does having resistance weapon quest interfere with anima hw relic weapon quest to collect luminous crystal?
I been getting yellow memories but luminous aren't dropping any way to get luminous faster?
Unfortunately its a random drop
Luminous is random, yellow is guaranteed
that is such pain
Just gonna say that the later steps of the Shadowbringers relic aren't guaranteed so
Enjoy the grind while it lasts
I mean I farm ShB relic with guaranteed method
The HW relics are pretty tame yet again its been since nerfed
I figured while doing luminous having memory quest open would at least give me something if luminous isn't dropping but luminous isn't for like past 10 fate and I'm trying to get 2 so I can work on 2 weapon
Do I have to be in same class for HW relic? like be on class with weapon I'm working on?
No only the quest has to be open
I might finish the last 2 weapon I need FATE memory for before I get HW relic at this point
haha it finally drop
do you get any game time by purchasing the complete edition?
The trick is to complain, then things happen
30 days free
30 days
On day 31 you start paying sub
it work so far XD

Are the codes for the various editions of the full game region-locked?
how do I know if I'm buying the correct region, I'm in Australia
glamour prisms are showed in inventory?
idk how to check how many i have left
new to the game but the free set from hall of the novice looks cool ;D
Idk about Australia personally. I assume EU version would work for it
You need to have the same region of the game as your account
Check your SE account region.
How do i check this on the client?
For you, you should be buying an EU or other Regions Key
You can't from within the client
Go to Mogstation, and then go to your SE account details from one of the submenus on the top
is samurai very hard to play? does it have good aoe for leveling?
looks like AU is counted as Europe & Other Regions

Then buy it off the EU SE store. Or you could buy it directly off Mogstation, iirc. Don't have to bother with making sure it's the right store.
"hard to play" is extremely subjective.
It has a static rotation. It has strong aoe.
Personally, besides healers, I feel like all the jobs are around the same level of complexity one way or another. Except for MCH, which just leans more into Fast, BRD which is just react, and DNC which is reacting but with combos
hm i see ok
another question
as a new player this feels kinda weird in my head
we can change jobs "at anytime" right? the msq will stay the same, but our level will go back to 1, how do we level up the class/job?
!faq altlvlguide
basically fates, dungeons, daily roulettes, other side content
fates dont seem to give a good exp, at least the ones i tried doing, but i might be wrong
and can we do dungeons at low level?
think of these job levels as weapon proficiency, and people don't trust you to do the task (quest) if you aren't good at your weapon
The earliest dungeon is level 15/16
Before that you just do FATEs near your level
Has someone find out where we can get the damaged icebox?
Or other options listed in the guide
i see alright
and for example, i want a samurai but im very far away from that for now, after i get there will it take me too long to level him to 50?
oh, they do?
Dark Knight, Machinist, Astrologian starts at 30, but they required you to be at lvl 50 to unlock
i thought you had to get to 50, get the class/job and level up like the others
@rough stream Based on the item description, probably from the newest/recent submarine ventures
Gunbreaker and Dancer unlocks and starts at 60
i see
ARR classes start at 1
i might get DK and then rush for samurai i guess
ok thx
Dark Knight, Machinist, and Astrologian are slightly different
In that they starts at 30, but you need to be lvl 50 to unlock them
And their unlock quests are inside the expansion area, so you need to be level 50, and finished a stream of
and get into the expansion starting city to get them
For samurai, Red Mage, Gunbreaker, and Dancer, their unlock quests are in ARR starting cities: Uldah, Limsa, and Gridania
You will unlock samurai before you get dark Knight
oh, i will?
If you own the expansion, then you will get samurai before you get dark Knight
i own all
Here's a very simplified 
Lvl 1-50 story for ARR (point A)
Additional Lvl 50 story as ARR epilogue
Additional Lvl 50 story as Heavensward prologue
Lvl 50-60 story for Heavensward (point B)
You can get samurai and Red Mage in point A, once you have a combat job at level 50
Even if your story is still lvl 42, for example.
Dark Knight etc are physically inside the Heavensward area, so you need to plow through all those, to get to point B
Only Dark Knight, Astro, and Machinist are locked behind direct story progression
Everything else is merely level locked
Gunbreaker and Dancer are the same, just level locked
New Expansion Jobs from Endwalker will be level locked to lvl 70
i see
thanks for the explanation
is it dark knight or death knight?
Specifically, Dark Knight as a whole is a big reference to one of the older final fantasies
I believe FF4?
Yup
it's also got a couple Cloud references in its animations iirc?
also yeah
I never played any other FF game from the franchise, XIV it's my first one ๐
Yes
That too, but mostly in it's idle animation
The victory animation incorporate the sword spin
Final Fantasy titles has a lot of shared elements
I have a question about early ShB MSQ content
||What happens if we call Feo Ul before the quest "Unto the Truth" where they got angry at us for never calling them since we first met them in the Crystarium? I totally forgot about them until this point in game and I'm wondering if anyone has tried doing this.||
You can't. You can only call them when the story wants us to.
or when you're accessing your retainers
oh damn that's too bad
You cannot use your knowledge of your "past life" to change the story
We are not a reincarnation manga
XD
well I sort of reincarnated in a new server :p but anyway thanks for the info cx
What's the name of the quest that unlocks the new dungeon?
The Flames of War
what axe is this?
https://i.imgur.com/KrqTtNH.png what's this yellow letter next to their name?
Target identifiers. The idea is to call out targets by those letters to people you are doing content with
Except it's a dumb system, absolutely useless so nobody uses it.
How is it useless, if people didnโt know if it was useful in the first place

Sometimes you can โglitchโ the story, though. For example ||I talked to a npc in Eulmore who said she is glad Vaultry is in charge, after I already finished Mt Gulg|| ๐
One gripe is that the letters are only assigned at the time of the pull.
But mainly it's useless because any content that actually requires communication does not leave much room for confusion about targets.
There really never is a moment where it would be beneficial to refer to a target by those identifiers
That is true
On the other hand, no harm in using them either I suppose
But no one really does use them
At the Modern Aesthetics Saleswoman
she's not one of the NPCs at the counters but a bit to the side
same area though
Thanks
should i use RDM or MCH to solo potd to 200 floors?
Have you soloed it before
RDM is easier, MCH requires lots of kiting
ty
i cant seem to find augebert in the firmament, is the diadem gone?
ah nevermind just found it was removed ๐
Speak to Aurvael to travel to the diadem.
IF the game says "you sense your mark to northeast" does that mean my hunt objective is 100% spawned?
or is it just a general direction?
how?
Talk to the guy in the booth to the west of the bulletin board at the entrance.
Is there an issue with world transfers? A friend is trying to move servers but he's not allowed to despite world status saying all are available
Did they start on a preferred world?
I donโt really understand the question. It means your B rank mark is to the northeast.
B ranks are always spawned.
He hasn't been playing for a few months now
might be one of the smaller restrictions then, like being in an FC or having items up for sale on your retainer
this lists all of the restrictions
thanks!! kept walking past him eariler ๐คฆโโ๏ธ
@mental oracle it means your mark is to the northeast AND nearby. ๐
is it a dps loss going from aug crypt weapons > diamond weapons?
For a majority of weapons, probably yes.
:S i thought the crit would make up the 1wep dmg on the daggers
What is it, Det/dh vs Crit/DH?
Most of the time
crit+det
It is crit > dhit > det
definitely augmented in this case
ah ok
Yeah the cryptlurker is definitely better there
weaker item level being better generally revolves around the presence of skill speed/spell speed/tenacity/piety
If the cryptlurker was something absurd like Det/SKS there might be a question
it just feels so bad when i dont crit hyoshos at all in an entire savage fight :/
question im having some trouble reading the map and recommended levels on it. I go to an area that is level 20-25 and the enemies are mostly like lv17-19 or so. the FATES there are also like lv15-lv20.
Is there an area that spawns like lv25 fates?
Quarrymill is usually the go-to for FATEs from 20-30
Though I question why you're after FATEs, as they're not a particularly good exp option.
i saw that is how i get the bond things needed to request a mount from the Grand company
and figure if im gonna do them might as well get ones at a closer level to me
Grand company seals? You don't have to grind at all to get your mount.
That's given from your next quest
.....
The very next MSQ quest gives you all you need for free.
Your next
will give exactly what's need

exactly
well then
Welcome to the club
Yeah, that's like one of the top ten mistakes new players make.
Not harmful mistake though
Just makes you scratch your head in confusion
With a pinch of annoyance
thank you
i probably should have jsu checked the next MSQ and see what teh rewards were
BTW is it normal to far outstrip the lv of the MSQ compared to my actual character level?
im like lv 26/27 and im getting lv20 MSQ stuff
awesome
Especially if you're on a preferred server
I think I hit like 58 before I finished arr
Doing nothing but msq
Not a preferred sadly but thatโs cause I wanted to join a friend
But I think gaming with someone I know outstrips the fact I would save like a week of grinding
I will say though duty finder queue times for DPS makes me want to do a healer for my next alt just to do it quicker
i keep getting the nothing bites message when fishing in the same spot after being able to fish up 26 eels. i know im using the right bait but it just says nothing is biting
wait nvm. didnt know they dont bite during the day ๐ฆ
I asked this in caster lounge but should've guessed in advance no one goes there, so I'll ask here: If you canโt hardcast verthunder in your opener as rdm (casual content, tanks who donโt use countdowns as a result), is there an alternative set opener available to make the best out of a bad situation? or just... go at it with jolt and improvise
I'm sure it doesn't matter in casual content but obviously doing a lot of damage is nice
I can't find any mounts that jonathas sells for the achievment tokens? Any reason why>
@pulsar escarp i usually just suffer and accept the opener will take a bit longer
and by that you mean you just... hard cast it anyway or? freestyle jolt
either or, depends on my mana beforehand
my issue is I don't know how the hell I get all my stuff to line up if I'm not hardcasting or doing the set opener
but I guess it's just. freestyle.
balance the mana and all
and also if the tank's already pulled and it's like, a trial, you're 0 0 mana, would you still try and hardcast for your opener or are you completely ruined
Is there any way to make money on a lower level account or is it mainly from higher level dungeons/craft/gather?
@void cargo The mounts he sells are the Voidal Resonator, Behemoth Warhorn, and the Magitek Death Claw Identification Key
Can someone tell me what this hairstyle is called ?
styled for hire, its from pvp wolf marks
Sadge
Not really as combat-only outside of roulettes and challenge log for the daily/weekly gil. For crafting/gathering you'll just have to scout the marketboard yourself and see what items that you can make/get have good margins
a general good option for early on is HQ items used for crafting levequests, along with housing furniture that doesn't come from the housing merchant NPCs
if you know what you're doing, play the market
Hmm. Okay cool I guess once my dps gets to an acceptable level Ill start maybe a gather class? Idk or maybe crafting
I made millions from cross server brokering before I touched my crafting/gathering
Thanks for clearing it up
Is it hard to get to 18000 wolf marks ?
thx
if you do only the frontline roulette once per day it's 17 days or so at the absolute most if you lose every match
since it's 1000+500/750/1000 depending on how well your team places
the first 1000 being the roulette's daily bonus
Did anyone complete the final stage of the Shb relic weapon
yes
someone can help me? I try to activate the ff14 from squre's site but it told me- "The code's region is inapplicable.
You can only enter codes from the same region as your Square Enix account."

Heyhey! I am doing a twink and forgot when I am ale to go to the gold saucer and when coloring and glams are aviable.. does anyone know that?^^
You're doing a...twink?
All three are at level 15.
Lv15 msq specifically
Twink means alt though it may cause confusion in certain circles ๐
Gold Saucer from the quest "It could happen to you" in Ul'dah near the aetheryte, glam/dye from
blue quests in Vesper Bay, Western Thanalan.
I'm used to a... More flowery definition
why does it mean... alt
It's specifically an alt you're feeding gear to
Iirc both gold saucer quest won't appear til you unlock airship travel
I.... see
It's derived from that definition
I hate it! thanks for telling me
Yeah, not a topic to delve into
It's a pretty old term is all
thanks xD Yes it is.. but well. <-< Its a new character on a other dc, but thanks!
Need to achieve rainmaker hairstyle ๐
Rainmaker is only 5k you can use gil to get up to 10k iirc

are there any discords for deltascape? these raids take forever to get through even with pf
once i buy the complete edition where should i input the license key?
mogstation
not really, they're in the raid roulette that a lot of people use to level 70+ jobs, just not at like 7am for aether like currently
so just queue and you'll get a party after a while
ok
tyvm
It'll definitely take a while when queueing as a dps
i'm trying to clear the fight used for tank mount farming
Can someone help me, I am trying to do e2 to progress Eden story but the que is more than 40+ min long, should I use party finder for this? Is this content not done anymore? Also can I get an invite to any hunting LS/CWLS on Cactuar?
PF isn't really used for normal mode and the content is definitely not dead
You're just queuing for it at off hours for your DC
Either wait more or try again at peak times is what I would suggest
Yeah, it's pretty early to try to queue for stuff - I'd advise trying again maybe around 6pm est?
any idea why ffxiv keeps deleting my system settings?
started happening like a couple weeks ago, just randomly when I log in my settings are reset
do you launch the game as admin
Hello, I just download the game on ps5 and I cant connect. Is the game under maintenance?

how do i get the haircut on the right?
complete the return to ivalice raid series then buy it from the gold saucer
its called lexentails
i did royal city ridorana lighthouse and orbonne
that's ivalice
is it enough?
Hey there demons itโs me, ya boi back with more questions
so long as you did the last quest "City of Angels" then it should be available for purchase in the gold saucer
but the haircut seller at the golden saucer doesn't have it im sure
mm okay lemme see
Does they Armoury bonus apply to gather/craft jobs as well or just additional combat jobs? Like if I level a dragoon to 50 and start a botanist would it get that bonus?
prize vendor? i guess near the daily cacpotnthing. im gonna check
The hair merchant only has two hairs. It only had one for many years until the most recent patch added another for some reason.
"Prize Claim"
So the more Iโm looking into it it says the armory bonus only applies to level rewards and stuff?
Leve* for a gather class
Armoury bonus doesn't apply to crafters and gatherers
And the more efficient way to level gathers is definitely to do leves mainly correct
And try to HQ as many items as I can?
Is there an app or site that tells me prices of specific items on mb of different servers instead of visiting each server and looking at their mb. To save time.
not really. none that are reliably up to date anyway
There's a few, but they rely on players updating them and aren't always accurate
Kupobot also has a command for it, you can see it in some of the recent posts in #kupo-bot-spam
Although it gets its data from one of those sites. FF14 itself has no official tool outside of the game
Im new to the game and my friends are almost max level i dont really care about the story much but what class would be good for me to blitz the story to catch up with them?
class doesnt matter much for speedrunning the story. But any tank or healer will be faster since you will be required to do certain dungeons and trials
And those will have faster queues
Ok i tried the conjurer for 5 mins but seemed slow going would the tank have a better time killing stuff faster during quests?
Does Whorleater unreal have the same mechanics as extreme?
Things don't really pick up until lvl 60 or so
Oh ok thanks!
Also, just for the record
You can buy story skips on mogstation for real cash
Up to Stormblood so you'd just have to play through Shadowbringers
If you are willing to pay for it of course
Be aware that skipping the story does not come with a level increase as well
So you'd still be lvl 1 while your story is at lvl 70
Job skips are sold separately
The only tanks you can choose at character creation are Marauder (Warrior) or Gladiator (Paladin)
I like gladiator/paladin. Simple, but fun
Both are fine though
Warrior is one angry guy with an axe and Paladin has the good ol' sword and shield going
Just go by aesthetic
Ok ty guys
I know there's an option to move the little popup that describes each action. Can't really find that again.. Anyone?
The one where you hover over an ability or skill and it writes out the stuff
Tooltip?
Could be. Where can I set it so it shows bottom left or right? I know I've changed it before when I tinkered with the steting
settings
Character config > UI settings > General > Help > Position (under Display action help)
Thank you! Totally forgot where that tiny drop down was ๐
How do I buy a house and is there any reason why I should do it?
by interacting with a placard outside an available plot
Pray to find an empty plot in a housing district, interact with the placard and purchase, hope there's not an invisible timer still active on it (there probably is)
and housing is simply a side project for design, there's no actual material gains besides gardening, which is a small thing
Am I able to store my stuff in my house?
Some things, yes. Mostly furniture.
I see
How do I set up my skills for Samurai in PC? To help facilitate better control while moving?
Cos there are times where I have to pause momentarily to dodge attacks from bosses and that delays my combos.
Put them around your movement keys
ideally on PC you shouldn't have any abilities beyond like.. 5tgb
use shift/ctrl modifiers to make those go further
the default setup where it just throws things on 1234567890 is.. not optimal.
if you're wiling to spend money, an MMO mouse really made my life easier

What happened here, did I have two hunt marks that were actually the same?
yep, happens a lot
I thought it curious, figured they were split in tiers.
!faq unsync
In your duty finder window select the โ๏ธ icon on the top left to open up the duty finder settings window.

so this?
yes
kinda dumb question, in game time or real life time
real time
It's always 1 day with 12 fetes and then 2 days of no fetes
ahhh ok ty!
any recommendation on hunt servers?
Is there a level requirement for the Fetes? (or are you more efficient at lv80 or stuff like that?)
Probably 20 for crafters and 10 for gatherers...they're literally just to make sure the ishgard restoration fates stick around
ty
Alright, so it's not like the restoration scrips where lv80 jobs make a crapton more
No, its literally just interact with stuff and/or follow instructions
๐ thanks.
Does anyone know if it's possible to buy a level boost in the trial version
I Wana see how level 60 is
Cuz I hardly have time to level
Cuz of work
You could enter PotD to see how level 50 is, at least.
The job boosts can't be purchased on trial. They also only go to 70 currently.
What is potd
Palace of the Dead, it's a special dungeon there you level suuuper fast (but only while you're inside the dungeon)
So u fake level?
i want to start the game shd i buy the standard edition or the collectors
is collector worth?
Collectors ia just cosmetic stuff
