if you remember that
ARR's Raids further on that story
thats also why theres north shroud, east shroud, south shroud but no west shroud
because west shroud was destroyed
That old man with smiling face must have been one of the developers glad that it was being deleted
Hahaha
Ik but still lol
If you want a lore recap of 1.0 they did make an official recap video https://youtu.be/TXc0loyuq9I

I’m making that a headcanon
Ok
What i said 😅?
Yes 🙂 the image is too funny
I thought he (that old guy you’re referring to) is discussed during the ARR storyline. Since theres the tupsimati nonsense
Cus like i have no idea who anyone was in the cutscene just a smiling man being blow away lol
He is, Oserium was just making a joke
I dont remember i just returned from a year break after getting through first part of arr
theyre the scions and the players

Okay so why can't I find any fetes in the firmament
Check the timer in the duty list
It should show you a timer when the fetes start.
probably because there aren't any running right now
Haha that’s great
Fetes ended last night
check your duty list
Ohh
It comes again "saturday"
Yeah fetes are every 2 days
I have a question about 5.55. What Yoshi will reward if I collect all cards? It is going to be another card reward?
I don't see any fetes in the timers
How large are the rewards for the fetes? How much.. "fete tokens" do you get for participating?
They're for rewards and crafter/gathering xp
YO HOLD UP WHY IS ALPHINAUDS VOICE DIFFERENT HELP
2 boxes per fete, 5 fetes per round
Same
Not the timers you can access anywhere, the duty list in the firmament will tell you when the next fete will occur
The switched studios after 2.0
Did the original voice actor die 0-0?
They changed voice actors with heavensward
Wait so all the voice actors are diffrent now?
The quest list
Most of them yes
No, the original VA still lives. He's on Critical Role as a funny sidenote
Omg thats ganna mess with my head lmao
You get used to it
sigh
I guess I have a general question. I’ve been playing about 6 weeks and feel like I’m doing okayish. I die to mechanics here and there but that’s expected, I’m new. Both to this game and to MMOs. How long does it take to get used to the really overwhelming fights?
Questlist?
Like lots of mobs, AOEs, floor gunk
Yes, the duty list goes above the quest list
Welp gl to me
What people generally say is the original voice actors were hired in a rush so they could push out ARR. Not sure if true, but expect them all to change once you hit 3.0
@coral rampart subjective
There's no saying how long it will take, but all it requires is practice. Get in there and make the hours 🙂
Onr VA did die however after the change
Heavenward here i come
i never had a problem with any fight until i did savage
Bye guys thanks 👍🏻
Quest list in the journal?
The right of your screen
The thingy above my quests here, only it shows my queue
by default
but it will show the timer for you
Which job should I be
Any in the firmament
Any gatherer or crafter
So I have to be in the firmament
And there will a timer right?
Yes
Can't track without being in the firmament?
So nothing is happening until tomorrow
Makes sense, yeah. Thanks, and thanks also Cerberus. I guess I’m doing okay, I still have fights where every so often I’m suddenly dead and am like “wait what how” and I try to watch vids before each dungeon and trial
Is it permanent
pay attention
especially to the boss cast bar
Yes
You can sell fete stuffs right?
Yes
hey guys.... why do people buy bozja gear when its illvl 490
glamour
What can you do if you miss out on fetes and your plants die because you get locked out of your home world? Send a support ticket for some seeds?
Is this that dragon that starts with a M ? Also this isnt spoilers this is begining cutscene
B
Oh the game
Bahamut
i cant even see what that is but im assuming bahamut
Oh dont do em got it
if you want the lore then get a lvl 80 to carry you
Don't do them synced
Its primal awakening
they're easy
Mixed signals
They're easy unsynced
@raw sorrel dont shitpost here
coils are savage level and will take hours to learn on level
so if you want to do them then get a lvl 80 to carry you
Yikes ok stay away from it until im lvl 80 got it
I dont wanna bother someone to carry me rather do it myself one day
I solo'd most of them at level 70 lol
well you would still need to know some mechanics even at 80
You can still do them as a 50 whatever, just get carried. people go nuts for free poetics
There’s a few insta death mechanics
people will carry you for the poetics
The 9th fight in particular is a pain in the ass
@leaden ginkgo there are different actions such as sit, pray, lookout, etc
I haven't done the arr lookouts, but don't they require a specific time of day?
and weather
The Apkallu Falls lamp post needs Fair or Clear weather between 6pm and 5am.
Can you use FF14 Cinematics as part of videos you make, but with the audio muted? I know square does not like you using FF14 Cinematics with the music on because of contract deals with Nobuo Uematsu. I made sure to read the material usage policy for FF14 a couple of times
@cursive abyss should be able to
when people upload the ost they put gameplay in the background so it doesnt get taken down so
Yeah ok. Just wanted to make sure. And from what I read, ShB themes arent on the list of prohibited tracks because Uematsu did not make those
Yep.
Huh, I see plenty of videos without this, wonder why they dont get bapped?
because SE can't connect the screenshot with the account and punish them
and theres just so many that its impossible to get them all
Quick question about desynthesizing gear
Currently have a couple of Hades's Gear and would like to upgrade them to the augmented version
Does the Hades Auracite only drop on a rare occasion when desynthesizing the weapons or is it guaranteed?
But for me, it would be probably best to err on the side of caution and include that in a corner of my video.
Its rare from desynth
As usual
thats a shame
I haven't even leveled any crafting classes yet nor gotten the desynthesize function
i'd eye it at around 10% from desynth
still way higher than from the trial itself, probably
When was Brand New Alphinaud attire released?
End of last month
Really late during 5.4
Uh, so still ways before next store maintenance I guess
is the upper part of Kholusa's music High Treason?
No, although i cant remember what it was called
How do I get in the room where the final boss of puppet's was, in the non-instanced version?
the entrance is in komra
no but like, I'm standing here and the door won't open. I want to go inside and look for sneakyboxes of data.
On the map, the area is shown to be passable.
:( well, at least there's no sneakybox there.
Is CLL doable with 11 people?
prolly not, since i think prisoners require like 24 people at the very least
Is there a stopping point for when we receive the gold feathers from the raf thing?

ah ok
If CLL has the hubris debuff then maybe possible...the Stacks for the armour is the main issue
you can get gold feathers from up to 5 friends, and when it comes to the sub time you only get those from whomever has the highest sub once
And judt splitting the group
Ok I only have one friend I get them from so will I get them every so often indefinitely as long as they keep resubbing?
the most you can get is 20 from 1 person
5 from the initial recruit, and 15 from the 150/210/270 days sub
Idk where to go for this question. I DO have access to my account. I do NOT have access to my recovery question. How do I get this fixed before I exit f2p? (Just got into XIV and finished ARR story)
Ok that's what I needed ty.
i think ima do lomin for the GC i always like port cities 🙂 and also to train my chocobo to assist in battle
do i need to hit the level 30 MSQ or the character level 30?
I think just character level for chocobo companion to help in fighting
oh for the chocobo, sorry
But to get it first that’s MSQ level 20
Yeah, msq 20 to get the chocobo but job lvl 30 to get it as a companion
awesome cause ive gotten past matching the MSQ so ill hit job 30 before that and didn't want to wait
and my friend runs a healer so I want the choco to tank i think
go healer, tank aspect doesnt keep aggro at all
yeah, the tank chocobro sucks
Yeah chocobo is best as healer or DPS
Healer or dps chocobo is the best route
I thought tank would be good too when I first did it but it just doesn't keep aggro off you
i appreciate the heads up
is there a way to hide all of my UI except the chat window other than turning everything off individually~?
just gonna turn everything off and save it as one of my HUD layouts, forgot all about those cx
that works too, yeah
System > support desk
I'm not near the console atm
So system> support desk> report?
Yes
how do you get the prettier parser with the actual FF hud, mine looks like utter shit, it's just a black box with tiny numbers
use the overlays
what gatherer gear should i grab at level 70 ?
use this part of ACT to set up and choose your overlay
who is the vendor
any of the scrip vendors
provided you have unlocked the correct expansion's scrip
!faq scripunlock

dont know where to go with this but i think it technically counts as asking for help. I bought a 60 Day game time card for EU... again... because i cant fucking read. Anyone who needs it wanna trade for a NA card? Would be GREATLY appreciated because i don't wanna waste the card and spend another 30 bucks.
for the I found that VII achieves for btn and min, does that include everything from ephemerals?
Yes
You basically need to gathering everything but the rarefied stuff
Looking into Gunbreaker - For the cart combos w/Continuation, am I going from Gnashing Fang --> Jugular Rip --> Savagae Claw --> Abdomen Tear ---> etc....
Or do I just get one option for Continuation?
Continuation becomes Jugular Rip/Abdomen Tear/Eye Gouge as you go through the combo
So in terms of button presses it looks like 1+4 > 2+4 > 3+4
123 being the combo and 4 being Continuation
i fixed the image up a bit
hope this makes more sense
Ah, great o.O ty
It doesn’t make any difference but should I do anything before heavens ward and pushing through the msq’s?
Like is there anything i need to do gear wise, dungeons or raid wise before entering heavensward?
Use poetics to buy Ironworks gear if you haven't already but otherwise not really
maybe complete Coils of Bahamut if you want some bonus stuff at 3.4
what’s 3.4?
There's also Crystal Tower which is required
patch story quest for Heavensward
ohh okies
you know the blue quests with a plus next to them, do all of them unlock content requiring them to be done or only some of them?
If i have a Cryptlurker Ring of healing and Augment it, can i get a normal one and use it at the same time as the augmented?
Yes
I just completed Copied Factory but ... what am i suppose to do here?
Obtain salvage in the copied factory

When Shirogane dropped did the houses start with timers or were they all immediately available for purchase after maintenance?
Afaik it's every man for himself when new housing is added
Immediately available
They increased the size of the housing wards a few months ago oh wait that was last year, anyways when they last did that it was a free for all
4 digit queues when maintenance ended
Are there images of combos like that for every class? o.o
Oh man, everyone made it seem like you got a leg up by having a house already so you could relocate. That sounds like even more madness if it’s a free-for-all. How long did it take for everything to get snapped up I wonder?
larges and mediums, not long
15ish mins
Larges and mediums are basically gone within minutes of the servers going up
Smalls can take up to an hour for the less popular districts like the goblet
Depends on the job, but that image came from a video
Well larges and mediums don’t even last for much longer under the best circumstances, I’d imagine

any gear guides out there for fresh 80s? i just finished the eden questline so i assume i'm supposd to farm the savage versions but i'd like to read up on it a little bit to be sure of the most efficient strategy. 
I spent so much of my life camping in the Goblet for my first plot, the idea of just being able to walk up and buy it just blows my mind lol
for alt levelling should i be queuing all available dungeons
no
i did and i have it. just want to aim for soemthing better now ^^
only the highest level one you can that's not 50/60/70
do i only need to hit character level 30 to get job advance or do i need ot hit a certain point of MSQ
both
gotcha, cus right now thats thousand maws, and i just had a 18minute queue with no match :/
level 30 + job quests + a level 20 MSQ quest
Only better gear is augmented revelations tome gear and savage drops from the last 4 Eden raids
if you're DPS that's normal
If you're a tank the augmented exarchic is one of the 2 best rings in the game atm
really?, i only usually play support and im only playing acn to get to scholar, thats a yikes
Arcanist is a DPS
thanks Kat! i'm a DNC actually
I can't remember which but one of the 530 rings is actually bad enough that augmented exarchic is better
Not for tanks
Probably healer
Thats still not bad enough to warrant a swap off to something with less mainstat/vitality
it was one of the i500 stuff if it was

oh i have to do quest first?
everything below 60 90% of the time comes from your job quests
Tenacity skill speed
yes
some skills are locked behind job quests
You do still need it to hit your sks tier
If its an arr or hw job almost all your skills from 30-70 are
No you don't
Primary stat tenacity isn't worth it in most builds
Yes but you don't take the ring for ten
You take it for the sks
Thats 1.3 tiers of sks there
Yes but because the primary sub stat is ten youre taking a overall stat loss and you might not even need the sks from the ring
Its a substat loss
Not a mainstat loss like you would if you took a ring 10 ilvls under
The i485 helm was an edge case
Because you could meld 5 materia 8s to it
You can check on the balance if you want. Augmented exarchic is better
Which could offset the difference enough
It is for some jobs
I'm not going to dispute that
holy hell, been waiting 45 minutes to do operatio archon, is it that time of the day or is this trial just really unpopular?
since you've got the JP datacenter tag, do you have J enabled in the duty finder language settings?
hello do i need gyshal greens for the mount aspect of a chocobo?
or is that only for the battle companion summoning
no, gyshal greens is only to summon it to fight along side you
No, but I just tagged all the languages just now, hopefully it's much faster
thx for the tip
is there a way to mute the super loud choir music whne you open the game?
You would have to mute music altogether in the sound options
how can i get from lv 46 to lv 49 as fast as possible?
i need to hit 49 to start the next msq quest
Do your leveling roulette if you haven’t for today and spam the Dzemael Darkhold dungeon.
this thing?
If you don’t have that dungeon unlocked grab it from the quest “fort of fear” at the observatorium in the Coerthas central highlands
Yes
can do aurum at 47
anyone know a place where I can look up the name of OSTs and their associated regions for ffxiv? 🤔
Mekkah Dee and dudewhereismyspoon have most of the ost uploaded to their youtubes
is it named by region?
they typically have the name of the song and the place its found in the title/description
You spoony bard 😩
i've never heard of it. so maybe it's not that popular?
i would expand your language settings to include german, french and japanese
and maybe put up a party finder
they're trying to do cape westwind
are people on pc able to play with people who play on ps4?
yes
Hi all, dumb controller question here but how do I select the tabs on the far upper left or upper right? The r2/l2 taps aren't working
o thats cool
It doesn't do it
I have Hold for cross hotbar controls, and enabled wxhb with simulayanous l2 and r2 double tap - is that wrong?
Ooo
Got it
Ok
how much DH should I be aiming for roughly as Sam
there is no hard number to aim for
I was wondering since the nier chestpiece is higher level than my exarchic but it takes away like 288 crit
it doesnt really matter at that ilvl
Item level > everything 99% of the time
Ty
if you dont plan to do savage then it doesnt matter which substats you have and if you do plan to do savage then you would replace it with crypt/savage gear
The only time you want a hardish number for a stat is stuff like skill speed and spell speed

Can pets tank on arcanist?
Roarich in the ruby road exchange, he's near the adventuerer's guild/mail moogle @fading helm
No
They used to able to long ago but now the pet is untargetable by monsters
:/
Is it faster to level up a squadron by doing dungeons or by sending them out on missions?
I just got this as a arcanist what does it do?
are there any other /changepose emotes to buy or you can only use the standard ones?
How does one get to a subdivision in a housing district? One of my friends told me to meet them in plot 50 but all I see is 1-30
Wait no my brain is broken
use the aethernet shard in the housing ward
Wait no it isn't that's absolutely aetherflow
Ok I’ll try to find it using aethernet
It shows how much aetherflow you havr from Energy drain, which alloes you to use fester and painflare
Its one of your two job gauges
I'm watching a documentary so I wasn't paying attention I think I clicked off the popup
Iirc it's called active help
Try re enabling it if you disabled it as it updates every time you get a large change to a job
If you go to the menu where you can see all your actions, there's a little ? button you can press in the bottom corner to see the info again
For example when you get a gauge/a gauge changes
can you keep redoing training for more gear at higher levels?
The hall of the novice only gives the brand new gear
im doing it now as level 15 and its giving me lvl 15 gear
if i buy this one steam would i just get shadowbringers? i thought there was a newer expansion?
And thats all you'll.get
ok thanks
@violet verge you need the base game and shadowbringers
The expansion is later this year. Buying.just Shadowbringers does nothing
Buying dlc for a game you dont own doesn't work
Keep doing it til you get the brand new ring
oh should i just wait for new expansion n get that then?

How do i get access to fly in the dlc heavenward?
!faq flying
'How can I unlock Flying?'
Flying is unlocked through the collecting of a zone's Aether Currents, with every zone having ten 'green' Aether Currents found in the overworld and five 'yellow' Aether Currents obtained through the MSQ and side quests marked with a plus sign. Azys Lla is the only zone to not have any green Aether Currents. You must collect all Aether Currents in a zone to be able to fly.
Flying is unlocked in A Realm Reborn zones simply by completing the level 50 story quest 'The Ultimate Weapon'.
'Where can I find the green Aether Currents?'
Upon obtaining the Story Quest 'Divine Intervention' you get the Aether Compass, which is a key item you can use to locate the nearest non-quest Aether Current. This can be set to your Hotbar for ease of use. Alternatively, you can use this website to show the location of all Aether Currents for a zone. http://heavenswhere.com/
Aether currents? Huh
The original way to fly
Just grab currents as you move towards MSQ quests, it helps
flying around is amazing •__• it’s annoying having to attune currents though
Will delubrum reginae be in duty Finder when unlocked?
It only gives the level 15 gear
ah okay thanks lol
are there any lvl 60 dungeons that drop alot of jewelry (specifically GSM-desynth ones)?
pretty much all of them have a chance of dropping jewelry
probably just go with something like antitower to queue for, since that'll probably be a fair quickly queue as people run it for the shb relic
will the gear i get from MSQ be enough to carry me through MSQ/daily roulette dungeons?
Yes
i see several of my pieces lagging behind in levels
At 50/60/70 you can buy gear with special currency for a large boost
Also job quests, those give gear
yeah i think i have bad habit of choosing the same slot for reward gear lmao
pants are lv 15 but my helm is lv30 -.-
where again was the quest that u get the chocobo
to walk around with u
and he battles
Bentbarrow
is that in the balck shroud
Yes
No its at Bentbarrow
Bentbranch
i really dont understand why they didnt make the GNB skill " continuation" a trigger skill and they made 4 seperate skills that takes space in the hotbar, PVP has 3 combos inside 1 skill why isnt that skill the same
because spamming 1 button to do an entire combo is too easy
its the same thing
Spamming 1 all fight
justtakes space..
Letd not spam 1 all of the savage fight
also for some jobs the combo splits into branches so you cant really do the thing like in pvp
do the ShB alliance raids only reward the 100 allegory tomes once per day~?
no, you get 100 allegory each run
this is good news, thank you!! i traded in all of my aiming gear by accident thinking i had enough for the full set 
I agree, but this isn't the right chat for that discussion
Gnashing fang,savage claw,wicked talon should be 1 button
No, just the blades

To unlock your class' job you need to be level 30, complete all of your class quests and the main scenario quest 'Sylph Management' (lvl 20 quest) to be able to pick up your job unlock quest. Once you've done the initial unlock quest, you will be given a soul crystal which you must equip to become your class' job.

Btw can i see green ather currents right away or do i need to be further into the story to do so?
Ok so bassically they are all quest locked got it
well there's 2 sets of aether currents
open world currents, of which there's 10, and quest currents, which there's 5
I need to collect em all to fly in the map im in right? Each map?
Is it the same for stormblood and for shadows?
yep
Saddness
It does fill my heart
Also how do i get the first star? On my mount for speed
I know the second one but what about the first
first one is gotte via the main scenario quest for most areas. shadowbringers zones you need to get a riding map which you can buy with bicoloured gems
Is it possible to lvl a chocobos speed perhaps?

There's a trait in the attacker tree to increase attack speed
Oh, I may have misunderstood. Too tired
i am once again asking are there any stackable items that are desynthesizable by GSM?
What's the last msq/content for ARR? Is it the msq "The ultimate weapon"?
that's the last quest for the base game, but there's still post msq and the last quest for that is "Before the Dawn"
I can't think of anything off the top of my head
I can only recall one, but the desynth skill for it is only 90, so it’s not great if you want an item in terms of leveling up
Also it’s vendor-only (3k each) so you can’t exactly get a lot of it for cheap
how do i hotkey things to my crossaction bar on controller?
it doesn't let me go there when trying to map them
Hold R2 + Pad (Select) to open the hotbar edit mode, or just Square and select "add to hotbar" then press the corresponding button combination you want to map to.
Must be L2 + (dpad) or shape buttons or R2 + (dpad) or shape buttons.
I skipped an alt of mine to ShB, but realized I hadn't gotten an Aether Compass at all. I checked the forgotten knight in Ishgard, and no one there gave me it. Do I have to talk to someone in ShB now, or from somewhere in SB / HW?
i have a friend wanting to try the free trial on Steam, but the launcher is asking for a registration code as if he bought the full game. what should i do to help?
Make sure he's using the trial launcher for Steam.
If it's asking for a registration code, he's probably using the full version launcher.
Try talking to one of the NPCs near the aetheryte in Rhalgr’s Reach
IIRC their name is Owen or something like that
ohhhh okay cool, i didnt know there was a separate launcher! thanks!! c:
I was just there, I'll see if I can spot an Owen, thank you
There's an Ortwin, but he's just a guard - no compass
i still have my fantasia from prae, if i use it do i always get the option to edit my character until i hit save changes or is my only window of opportunity when i login next?
only when you hit save I'm pretty sure
Just checked, their name is Gaufrid
@next steppe Try looking for Gaufrid in Rhalgar's Reach - 14.3, 9.6
Have you checked your key item inventory?
You have the option until you actually use it
yeah, not there sadly, just other quest items
nice
@fallen axle just in case, you can't directly edit your extended or WXHB. (R2+L2, R2 double tap etc).
You'll have to hold r1 and select the corresponding hotbar which you designated as those and edit it from there
Anyone got pictures of diamond barding?
oh thank god, this is the guy - no markers or anything, but I appreciate it
There’s a picture of it in the patch notes
I can show the barding on my chocobo after this 24-man
Yea
ohhhh thanks so much
okay just making sure i'm not crazy
is ranked pvp really that hard to get into
i keep hearing that the same 100 people keep taking the top 100 spots
Yeah, because rank decay only brings you down one tier each season
well, some people at least
So they smash their way back into top 100 in the first two weeks of season
And then sit pretty
And the queues die completely
Also yes wintrading is a problem as well as more recently straight up position hacking
so it's hard to get into the top 100 then?
of course it'll be hard
Am lv 57 drg with the wyrm set, just finished the msq ultimate weapon, which armor set should I be aiming for to go into heavensward? The ironworks maiming set?
Yes
Apart from daily roullettes, how else can I get the tomestones?
ive heard people say its easy to get into ranked pvp and then other people say the same characters keep hogging spots so 
!faq poetics
Though you should probably have enough for nearly a full set in like one day of roulettes
hunt trains give a ton of tomestones too
Plus the poetics you already got from doing Castrum Meridianum and Praetorium for story
Ain’t no one doing hunt trains in ARR areas
Yes.
Yes
thanks :3
I only have 2 roulettes unlock atm; the levelling & main scenario
Ah, you should begin crystal tower to unlock Alliance Roulette
It’s not like there’s any rush to get better gear right now. You have 80 MSQ quests until you get to any content above level 50
You don't really need to go out of your way to get gear like that on your first class.
Just keep doing msq and you'll get in level gear.
And crystal tower is mandatory for MSQ progression so you’ll have to do it anyway
Spend any poetics you have, sure
is crystal tower the name of an msq?
granted, it's REQUIRED for msq
Starts with the quest
“Legacy of Allag” from the Outlandish Man in Mor Dhona
Completing the questline is a prerequisite for continuing the MSQ into Heavensward
good to know, thx
which wiki do you guys use? the consolegameswiki doesn't have any info on whether an area/zone is accessible in other expansions
Gamerescape is the one that’s generally more up to date
is desynthing ex trial shields a good way to get the rare crafting mats?
For an actual database like for searching up items and quest locations, there’s Garland tools
If your ARM is above the item’s desynth level, yes.
dope ty wasn't sure if there was some weird rule since they cost less than normal weps
General wiki stuff gamerescape, crafting teamcraft, database garland, high end combat guide saltedxiv

I've yet to find a good website to do glamour design though, which would be nice because the actual game UI is awful..
is there any way to level up fast so i can progress through the MSQ on my desired class which i get at level 50
For DPS i recommend Palace of the Dead and daily roulettes
For tank/heal, daily roulettes, then highest lvl dungeon
PotD has the added bonus of item drops that hold some value in the marketboard(RNG tho)
where is Palace and Roulettes located?
Palace of the Dead unlocks with the level 17 quest
"The House that Death Built" in Gridania's tavern, and is queued for by speaking to the Wood Wailer Expeditionary in Quarrymill.
Roulettes are the first page of the Duty Finder, opened with U by default on keyboard
i'm not sure where to go but question about the new weapon how do we get them glowerly weapons
The glowy Byakko/Hades weapons? Those are crafted and can be bought off the marketboard.
ooh it's crafted?
Hey guys, sorry which room has the updates and patch notes on this discord channel?
i was told you can buy the weapon
Thank you!
Yes the weapons are tradeable
ooh okay
so when they said buy they didn't meant you can buy the weapon with totem
thank you
thanks
is the auricite tradeable?
servers acting bad for anyone else?
does completing hunting log provide anything besides exp?
An achievement ring that is useless and can be chucked in your armoury to gather dust
not for me atm, but i did get a few pokeball earlier
which jp server has the most people?
Long time no play, MCH rotation haven't really changed since 5.3 right?
If Balance have no update just consider no change?
yes
that's the one
Nice
What should I do with these old ones?
You can spend it
On the same Moogle?
You can trade it in for garbage fireworks.
question, are all dungeons/trials unlocked through MSQ? or are some from the blue sidequests with + next to them?
got it thanks
Many, many many are from blue sidequests.
Most through MSQ, hard/extreme variants are blue +
explains why im up to MSQ lv28 and only have 4 dungeons available :/
There is an airship, after you complete the MSQ lvl 17
Progress the MSQ until you get there via airship at level 15.
Should be called "The Envoy of Gridania"
The Gridanian Envoy, yeah
Then you just interact with the aetheryte and you can teleport there from now on.
Sorry cleaning my inventory lately. So I can't figure out what is this for even after looking up online.
I'm on the quest call of the sea
There is no way to get there before reaching that point in the MSQ.
At 28 msq, there’s like 6 dungeons max and only one is optional
Then you've already been there. Teleport.
If you didn't interact with the aetheryte there, then you'll have to go to Gridania's airship landing and purchase passage to Limsa Lominsa from the airship ticketer.
For future reference, always interact with all aetherytes (teleport crystals) you see. First thing you do when you enter a new settlement. Always.
First quest in the game explains it to you with tutorials and stuff.
is there anything that shows me what blue quests i need to do? Like idrc about profession guilds or unlocking other classes currently just all the features in ARR currently
!faq contentunlock
below the Carline Canopy (Gridania's adventurer's guild) it is located the airship
it costs 120 gil to travel from Gridania to Ul'Dah/Limsa Lominsa
so apart from continuing the msq leading into heavensward, is there anything else I should do after beating the ultimate weapon msq?
Oh nvm my question earlier. found out it's for Anima weapon
crystal tower raids
if im a melee dps, is it better to make my chocobo a tank or keep him on dps?
healer tbh
how do you switch modes, change the chocobo's stance?
Ignore tank chocobo
What's the class where I will die the most/ sweat while playing solo? As Arcanist I deal damage and can heal myself making the game too easy I think
Jw
physick is dogshit you don't really bother with it at higher levels
and afaik every role has some form of self sustain
@sonic scaffold You should tank as a healer, then you can always die like you want to
ok I guess I found out how they are no longer applicable for anything... i need to stop hoarding these things...
my only experience of solo play is with a melee really but tanks and healers seem to have it easy from what i could tell
but then again i never really knew how to play until i hit 80 with dragoon
I was wondering a lot of guilds say LGBQT friendly
Has anyone ever been rejected for being homosexual?
How do I go about starting the diamond weapon quest?
prolly just declaring it as a safe space. aka harrassment = insta ban
should start in the lochs, "duty in the sky with diamond"
Those were used primarily to buy old gear upgrade materials. Since all gear bought with poetics now starts in their upgraded forms, upgrade mats for gear levels 70 and below have been removed as they're equally useless.
Thanks!
Just seems like people seeking attention, I played this when it came out and not once did I see anyone go straight for homosexuals
Pretty cringe seeing it advertised
i think it's just to reassure people
Which is most fun/ hard melee in early levelz
hmm, that's a hard question tbh
All the melee classes kinda suck until you hit 50
this
cos you're missing huge chunks of your skillset
but dragoon is probably the one that sucks the most at early levels
and they dont have any like
personal mitigation skills
unlike ninja's shade shift
MNK starts a bit faster, but also has more self-sustain
Bahaha darn because summoner sucks before 50 too
all classes do tbh
most jobs are like that
can confirm, lv36 dragoon and it gets rough
DRG doesnt get an aoe until 40
thank god my Chocobro can help heal
Should I make a second character as Dragoon or just double my first character as a dragoon summoner
just do it all on your first character
really no reason to have alt characters in this game
game isnt exactly designed for alts
easier to just do everything on one
only reasons why lots of people have alts, really:
- gearing multiple classes for prog Savage content
- roleplay
any others I've missed?
-friends on different DC's
Alts on connected DCs maybe? But still not worth
oh, friends 
but that goes away in 5.58
what are these
I'm hitting the midpoint between ARR and Heavensward, is there anything I should besides the MSQ to unlock HW?
crystal tower raids
have you done the crystal tower raids
I'm still unlocking them
other than that its MSQ all the way
I've been doing that and the relic quest a bit, but I'm focus on MSQ
ARR relic bad, stop while you’re ahead
is there any way i dont have 2 glam dispell every time i change between 2 classes tht use the same top but i want 2 use the base piece 4 one glam plate
make 2 different glamour plates and link them to the appropriate gearset
yeah i have tht but when i change 2 the one tht doesnt have a top piece there it jus uses the one from the previous glam plate bc its the same top
but i wamna use the base piece 4 the glam </3
so then put the base chest into the glamour dresser, put it on the glamour plate, save and then remove the base chest and put it back on
a friend bought me something from the online store and sent it to me. I put in the item code in mog, how do I get it ingame?
it'll be mailed to you in-game, talk to a mail moogle. You can hit the 'request delivery' button to try and speed things up but ultimately just have to be patient
How long does it take for the sprout to go away from my head?
I feel like it's a target because ppl have been kinda mean so far and its making me wanna quit dhdhdh
Stormblood completed
post
you need to have 168hrs played + completion of the main scenario quest "A Requiem for Heroes"
@dapper magnet nobodies been mean to me :O

u can hide it i believe
embrace the noob emblem!
I tried to say I'm new but they were still mean
i dont remember primal being any more toxic but ive only been on crystal
I was doing the thok ast thok dungeon
man I've been lucky then.
I guess I've just been unlucky with dungeons
did you start playing as a tank or healer?
Healer
ooo yeah that's probably a bit more rough
The only nice person in that party was the other sprout
a lot harder for newer players to understand healing and tanking at first
but you'll get the hang of it
I don't know what I'm supposed to do when I have aggro and I'm getting hit cause when I healed myself the tank got pissed
Does the healer have a hall of the novice thing like tank does?
yes
Yep
all classes do
Oh, Hall of Novice is like a tutorial for [your job group] you get access to at lv 15
I've only done the tank one, but it seems really good to do
What's the quickest way to level up second/third/etc jobs?
It gives free gear so doing it won’t hurt
New? Got too many skills? Made the mistake of using a level skip and have no idea what anything does? Just hate reading? Try this guide out!

!faq altlvlguide
Ooo thank you
can you only get 1 bitter memory per day?
no you can get all 6 done
Oh how'd you know I was whm .o.
just run a lv60 dungeon sync
antitower is the fastest dungeon to get them in
whats the fastest dungeon to run
only healer you can start as
okay ty
antitower is most popular
The Antitower
W2W, mobs hit like wet noodles, extremely short too
w2w?
wall to wall
wall to wall
ohh
Honestly I just started ffxiv for the nier raid but my whole dungeon mess has made me discouraged
blue mage also shortens it by like 4 mins
i recommend you level a DPS class instead
a lot less pressure on you to heal the team
I've heard dps is more difficult tho
not really
You need to watch videos
the rotations are more difficult
same guy i posted before has a video on every class
I heard dancer is super straight forward
and the rotation gets drip fed to you
you need lvl 60 to play dnc
so it's easy to play easy to learn
and shadowbringers
Oop
healing really isn't that difficult
But yeah, the one class thats not no brainer from what I heard is monk
But thats cause Square has no idea what they're doing with em
you might have been standing in the cleave zone so you got hit
archer and arcanist are easy to pick up and play
Archer ---> Bard = Dancer with not as crazy buffs
No it was before the boss of the dungeon so it was just the area leading up to it. I know not to stand in the yellow spots
Speaking of color does ffxiv have a setting for colorblind ppl
yes in system config > accessibility
Also if you level summoner, I heard Scholar levels with it, so technically you'd have two classes leveling at once
also thok ast thok isn't a dungeon
did you mean sohm al?
o
if you were getting hit in a regular dungeon then the tank wasn't getting aggro
which is their fault
oh yeah that one takes a while to figure out lol
I liked them :)
also the cleave zone means the front of the boss
don't stand in front of the boss
if you're really worried about messing up you can just watch a guide beforehand
yo, what's a quick way from limsa lomnsa to gridania? (i've heard a main quest lets me get þere, what level is þat quest)

Stoopid question, but, is Eorzea time the same across all servers?
Yes
Thank u fella
Is thaumaturge good? Out of all the classes I tried I'm having extreme fun with this one
Having to change elements is so cool
For mana regen etc
all jobs are good, play whatever is the most fun to you
I'm having more fun with this one than all the other ones I tried
And I tried almost all of them to level 25
that isnt exactly a good judgment of the classes but at least ur having fun with early thaumaturge
Can you copy/paste text price to retainer's marketboard using controller?
I try LB+RB but it's only work for chat box
I've always wondered what are those level 50 mobs in lvl 5 zones
Are they world bosses
hunt mobs
What do u get for hunting them
do all dungeons reward tomes?
only level 50/60/70/80 duties give tomestones.
Allied Seals, which can be spent on a bunch of stuff like glamour sets, venture tokens, free teleport tokens, minions, and other things.
Does all lv 50 dungeons only give 100 per run or is there one that gives more?
depends on the dungeon, but 100 is the highest as a majority
the only regular dungeon, IE not Castrum Meridianum/Praetorium, that gives more is the Aetherochemical Research Facility, a level 60 story dungeon that gives 150 Poetics.
does trials also give 100/run?
they give much less as a base since they can be completed faster.
You do get bonus tomestones if its someone's first time completing the duty.
which is usually 100
Hello! I'm new to the game and i made a warrior Currently lvl 16. I've heard that you can change class/job in game. If i switch to glad/paladin do i start over at lvl 1?
WAR stays lvl 16
PLD is lvl 1
can basically max everything
Augmented cryptlurker gear is better than the laws order stuff right?
yes.
Cool and i can switch how ever i want?
Whenever you're out of combat and not inside a duty like a dungeon or raid.
You can also switch to another job while waiting in a queue, and your queue will still search for other players. You'll just need to switch back to accept the queue.
Okay Thanks!
I bought a mount from the store, it's not at moogle buddy. I clicked the 'purchase delivery request' button
how long does it usually take
If it was character-specific usually an hour at the most.
For account-wide mounts they can easily take a few hours.

Do you have to do savage to get augmented cryptlurker until endwalker?
ironworks gear is ur best thing at lvl 50
you get them in mor dhona
which shopkeepr in morh dona?
the augment tokens should be buyable with nier raid tokens or hunt nuts
3 tokens, one from each Nier raid
Can be traded for an upgrade item to augment cryptlurker
For now, only armor and accessories upgrade items are available for this form of trading
Weapon upgrade item will be made available on a later date

In Mog Station store, will they remove some optional items from their catalog anytime soon to make room and such? Because I'm trying to buy an optional game item I want before it gets removed just in case
Items have never been removed from the mogstation.
the closest thing it ever got to "removing" items was when they revamped the store in early-mid ARR when purchases of fantasias were account-wide in packs of 1/3/5, but were only buyable once.
I have 6 more DR to do for the relic quest, is there more added in the last update ?
nothing about DR has been changed with this patch, besides adding tomes/Mettle as a reward.
that's in 5.55
Oh so there's another update before next expansion
which will be in mid-late May
do we have a rough date for the next expansion too ?
and 5.55 will add a new max ilvl right ?
nope, staying at 530/535
ok good ty, then I can work on all 530-535 gear rn
can we craft those btw ? or is it planned to be added ?
probably not.
highest crafted gear can go currently is 520 if you augment the Exarchic stuff.
is the 200 tomes reward for praetorium & castrum 1 time only?
Per day, yes
it's 300 poetics btw
there is an extra 200 bonus that's gotten when a first timer is in there
but it only happens IF a first timer is in there
How can you tell if you already got the daily reward?
on duty finder it still says the reward is 200 tomes
can the augmented exarchic gear be overmelded?
From what I've seen, no
