its technically not a crafted item anymore so it can't be overmelded
On your roulette window, the right hand side where the description and all that is, the lower right hand corner will show a treasure chest with the text "reward already received"
I just got to Shadowbringers and reached ||The Crystarium|| Can I watch the shadowbringers trailer/cinematic now without spoilers?
sure, there aren't really any spoilery elements to my memory
just some sorta out of context things
That's for the roulette right? I'm talking about finding a game on the dungeons tab
I'm pretty anti spoiler so even the zones being showed off in the Stormblood Trailer I found annoying
so idk if I should watch
then don't watch it
oh you mean this?
yes
the reward is always there... but i HIGHLY dont recommend doing it just for tomes
there are some area spoilers then
Ah
if thats what you define as spoiler
That's a window I haven't seen in awhile. Yes you can get that an unlimited amount of times
Yeah I like experiencing new zones blind
like i said its very out of context
Yo was wonderin just started yesterday,if I buy a fly mount can I fly while doin arr questline?
As long as there isn't any vital info in the cinematic then i'm happy to wait
There isn't
all mounts fly, you just have to complete the required conditions to make them fly
no
so until you finish ARR base, you can't fly
if you wish to farm for tomestones, you'll have an easier time here, it's less brain-killing
wait, this one is even better
ARF is the best choice for tomes
if you have it for dungeon spam
but even then, there are other better options for tome farming
cheers for the tip
im only lv 58. but I'll keep the 1st one in mind
Gotcha👍
I don't think you can get the tomestone reward from an undersized party. At least the last time I ran one I didn't get it.
you only get the first-time bonus if you do it undersized
After that you don't get any.
any vendors that sells accessories? thats above item level 28
With 200 desynth will I be able to get byakko mane
in terms of combat accessories, not really for pre-50 stuff. But TBH that stuff is really all you need for 1-50. Accessories don't scale that hard in ARR leveling.
friend is ONE item level off
Did they do their level 50 job quest?
Any spare tomestones of poetics to spend on an accessory?
he spent it all and thats how we got him to 89
hes on free trial so i cant give him stuff
through market board and trades
Maybe, but you'll have better odds once your desynth skill is over 355
What are the better options?
...Byakko might be one of those primals where you can't get the material through desynth. I know Tsukuyomi is like that.

I'd like my dreams to not immediately get shattered
A rule of thumb I use is, if it’s overpriced on MB then it’s a synced drop
Don't say that I've done 90 fucking runs! 90! I didn't get shit
People are getting like 5 manes in 25 runs
I didn't get 1 in 90 fucking runs
I already hate this piece of shit primal
I'll do my desynths for the mat
On the upside, you're only 9 tokens away from the mount!
I already have the kamui
I'm trying to earn money :/
In that case, risking it all on a gamble might not be the best strategy. After all, as you noticed, gambling is prone to backfire.
It's hard to earn money this seemed easier
And this is why it's hard :p it's not easy.
Until RNGesus gave the middle finger
It "seems" easier but honestly, there's a reason whatever you're farming is expensive and this is it.
So no mat from desynth are you sure?
Going by the GamerEscape wiki, it only seems to come from Byakko's Rod.
I don't know how legit the wiki is
Damn
That means I can't join my FC aswell
Cos people keep talking about how many manes they got and that shit pisses me off
If I'm a level 30 thaumaturge and I switch to arcanist how do I get back to level 30?
You can just equip your thaumaturge weapon and poof, you're a level 30 thaumaturge again!
For your arcanist, you'll just have to level it normally. Do FATEs, dungeons, etc.
No I mean how do I get to level 30 without quests , just fates and killing mobs?
Challenge log is a great way for really low level characters.
FATEs too, dungeons when you're level 16. There's also levequests for variation
How much is the xp bonus for a level 1 if you have a level 30 I herd that u get one
100% extra exp, though I'll have to check what it applies to
So with the server xp 100% do they stack?
The Armoury Bonus applies to the following sources of Combat EXP:
Fates
Leves
Kills
Main Story Quests
Palace of the Dead
Dungeon Completion
I think they're additive, yes.
It should say when you kill an enemy, how much +% exp you get.
The bonus decreases to +50% once you hit lvl 70 though
Are there any classes starting at level 30 or just 50 and 60?
Dark Knight, Machinist and Astrologian start at lvl 30
Samurai and Red mage start at lvl 50
Isn't dark knight level 50?
You need to be lvl 50 to unlock it
But the job itself starts at 30
Anyway, Gunbreaker and Dancer start at lvl 60
Are there any that start when you are level 30 that are different from that starters
No
Ok
The only non starting class you could choose at that point would be Rogue (Ninja)
But that starts at lvl 1
Ok one last question when do I get black magic spells instead of fire and ice spells as black mage
Also all the jobs I mentioned that start at lvl 30 (all the HW jobs) also require you to be able to access Ishgard. So you need completion of the ARR quests up to 2.55
Which can most likely result in you being a good chunk above lvl 50 at that point
BLM gets thunder at level 6
Fire and ice are the black magic spells
You mean spells that are not themed to fire and ice?
Yeah there is thunder
And later some void looking spells
So u don't get any black magic spells as a black mage?
What do you mean by black magic in this context?
Sleep at 10, Scathe at 15, and then it's fire, ice and thunder up till level 50 where you get Flare.
Wait, Flare is fire in this game isn't it?
Black Magic in Final Fantasy always refered to elemental spells
yes
Why not call it an elemneatlist
Some games have it non-elemental.

Because Final Fantasy
Black magic in the FF context has always been fire/Blizzard/thunder
Fire, Ice and Thunder are the staple black mage spells
I played all this time thinking I'll get black magic spells eventually lol
But again you get some spells that look more like what you would probably call black magic
Foul and Despair
Elementalists in FF lore tend to be characters that 'commune with the elements'. Black Mages are more "BOOM BURN AHAHAH"
Despair is technically fire in FFXIV yeah
Just Foul and Xenoglossy
And in FFXIV, that is no different. Black Mages go BOOM
idk if we have 'black magic" as you imagine
They are not "dark mages" or something
I mean, white mages have Stone so
Tbh, summoners would be the ones with the "black magic" he's describing
@_@
If you want the darkness theme you gotta go with Dark Knight
This games classes make no sense sometimes
Dark Knight has plenty of dark magic
The classes make sense in FF lore
Ruin, tridisaster, bio, etc
It's going by final fantasy lore, their own mythology wholly separate from our own. Equating it to real life just doesn't work
Yeah, Summoners actually feel more magy tbh
They study and then blow shit up with knowledge
The vast majority of leveling takes place in instances
if you go the healer route make sure you're fine with healing
ie being there when others make mistakes
I've healed before in world of Warcraft I played a disc priest
Still, the healer mindset is basically "Do as little healing as you can get away with while dealing as much dmg as you can"
But tbh, it feels like I have the biggest ability to speed up instances on healer role
Because tons of healers are bad and don't DPS
yeah, that's the mindset
Or do so utterly ineffectively
It's just that healer dps is extremely straight forward and thus... kinda boring
It consists of 2 buttons
3 if you count aoe
20%? What a waste of 19% that benediction can do.
Well, we can recover fast from that. Healing in this game is not like WoW
Well White Mages have benediction for example which just heals someone to 100%
Is white mage the easiest healing class?
So them letting you drop is actually conserving resources
because they just.... can
Yes, probably.
White Mage is definitely the most straight forward
Their thing is straight up big boy heals
No gimmicks
No
Eh, not really
Ok this is really important how boring is it to level a white mage with not many damage skills?
With dungeons not boring at all
Because you'll actually play the healer role
In the msq? Personally I wouldn't want to do that
But I know people who do and they are fine with it
Healer is imo the less boring job since you have to be on alert on your mates
I always do MSQ as a healer, and love it to bits and pieces.
I've done it as whm, it's fine
Not slow
But Cypher just said..
Again, healer dps is fine
It's just the execution of that dmg is so straightforward that it borders on boring
Each healer has 1 single target dmg spell, 1 dot and 1 aoe
That is basically it
But in instances, I find healer way less boring than say, RDM or other dps
The vast majority of the MSq where you actually need to deal damage is in instances
The other parts are actually scaled based on your role anyway
If it's a solo instance things are scaled to your role
Those are not common.
Like Ropter just said
And yeah that.
And if it's a group instance you actually get other things to do
like playing yugioh on ast or something
in a group instance you have to watch out and repair others mistakes mostly
Group instances will always be 2:1:1 so your role is irrelevant -- except as DPs you have to suffer queue times.
And there's plenty times where a good healer out-DPS's the actual dps in a group. Healer dps isn't bad.
Ye I qued for my first dungeon as thaumaturge and had to wait like 10 minutes
10 minutes is fast.
Yeah, healers don't wait.
I've never had more than 5m as whm while leveling tbf
how to see enemy hp percentage
Is there a chart that shows the most used healing class?
guessing its whm, astro, then sch
Tbh, don't make decisions based on meta. Pick what interests you thematically.
Unofficial census
i dont see sch lately :(
character config -> UI settings -> HUD -> display target's remaining HP percentage
I asked so I could pick the opposite
how important is the roulette thing (trial, lvling, main scenrio)

its good exp and tomes
do i really have to do thm
Great for leveling once a day

If you're just doing msq on your first class you can ignore them
But still, the bonus is great once a day. Emphasis on ONCE a day
If you pick up secondary classes they're pretty vital
whats the name of the 2B hairstyle? and how do i get it
hmmm i see
battle ready bob
I don't remember the name but it drops in the last Nier raid
Drops from the latest 24m raid
enter paradigm breach try not to die, pray u roll 99
oh okay thank you
Roulettes are the #1 most efficient way to gain exp, however, the thousand other ways aren't that much worse- better do enjoy yourself than to torture yourself for small efficiency.
Yeah, the whole raid roles for that one together
If I were to switch to conjurer right now from my thaumaturge can I use the gear I currently have on it or would I have to be the same level to equip it?
chances are slim
2B is battle ready Bob, 9S is scanning for style
The latter
You would need to get new lvl 1 gear from a vendor
Which is cheap though
Plus Conjurer uses a different primary stat than Thaumaturge
u can buy the hair off mb if lazy
Casters use Intelligence while healers use Mind
Most of the low level gear has both primaries, though
Doesn't class quest gear have int and mind doe
Yeah see what Ropter said
Up until lvl 50 or so you tend to have 2 primary stats on one piece
In Heavensward that will change
You still need to buy gear if you threw out your old gear -- it does have level requirements
What's the best rings to level up desynth fast that isn't too expensive
For goldsmith
Welp I sold all my other gear lol
low level gear isn't expensive that's np
Lignum vitae is crp I think, I typed that before you said gsm
Level 1, 45 gil
Does item lvl not matter for desynth
I think you're mixing two conversations
It does matter. Tbh I levelled my GSM passively because most level cap dungeon drops are GSM
I don't know what the option is if you're in a hurry, sorry
Hello, I have a question about Dancer. Why doesn't Bladeshower get proc'd 100% of the time after using Windmill? It combos off of Windmill so why does it only proc around 50% of the time?
Because the chance is 50% for each of those skills
oh wait, yeah got my skills mixed up
That isn't even a proc
You just use Bladeshower after Windmill
Bladeshower doesn't combo if you don't hit any monsters with it
that should be the only/main reason why it wouldn't combo
maybe you got your skills on your hotbar mixed up? Bloodshower has a very similar name
Bladeshower: Combo Action: Windmill
Combo action means it will combo 100% of the time off of Windmill
At least its that way for Cascade and Fountain
Indeed
Like Wynne said, are you sure you're not missing?
both of those aoe skills are melee ranged btw
You have to stand in the group of enemies
Very common mistake I see with new dancers
I tried it on a training dummy, it does the combo proc just fine
Should I join the archer guild it’s next to one of my quests but.. I’m a lancer so I don’t think I should?
In FFXIV, any character is allowed to be all jobs 🙂 joining the guild means you're allowed to pick up a bow and level archer alongside your lancer.
It's a separate leveling track though, you'll start back at lv1
Ahhh ok I see — hmmm not sure
yup, switching classes is as easy as equipping another type of weapon
Once you have unlocked the class anyway
Thanks for answering though, can be overwhelming
Bit of sensory overload right now cus I just started
typical new MMO syndrom
Not weird. Something that might help is that all those quests you see are just for lore, they're bad for exp (but still fun to do).
<- these are important, and
<- these too.
The former is the main story, the latter unlocks various classes/dungeons/other options
I've been playing for years and still have probably a hundred blues to finish
Does bacon broth and tinker's calm stack

One is a food and one is a potion. The effects used to stack, but I can't confirm this for the "new desynth system"
Is the rogue quest by the middle?or hidden can't find it no good guides either
All I see is the dancer job quest
What do you mean by middle?
rogue quest is in the lower decks iirc
should be right here
did you complete the level 10 class quest for your starting class?
You need to complete your level 10 class quest
In fact... always do your class quests
I picked gladiator so I gotta go back n do the gladiator quests be4 rogue in ulda?
You need to complete any lvl 10 class quest before you can unlock new classes
Also do your class quests for any class asap
They unlock new skills, which are important
Guys, I'm lv 45 Summoner but I already want to switch job, cuz I like meele classes more :P but I struggled to kill mobs without gear/equip... I was naked lol. So that's my question: eveerytime I switch jobs, where can I get equip?
There's one vendor in every town selling lv1 equipment. That said, being naked for the first few levels is okay 🙂
at what level will there be coop im lv 13 im lonely
What about lv 15? Same armor vendor?
you can use your racial starting gear for the first 10 or so levels.
Lvl 15 story will give you your first dungeon, Kanna
it's item level 5
For more survivability, remember to use gyashl (I probably spelled this incorrectly) green to summon your chocobo companion to help you in combat
And spec it with some healer skill
gysahl. spelled as it's said
Idk if I still have it... Is it possible to buy it somewhere?
gisal?
You assumed that I know how to say it
yes - there's a trader in every city. Gridania's the most obvious, Maisenta in eyeshot of the main aetheryte
Same for Limsa too
well, for FF15 it's pronounced like "gizzal" which ruined my life.
actually Bango Zango is also in eyeshot of Limsa's
Thanks!
ul'dah's is closer to the quicksand but fuck uldah's layout
Buy some weed for your chocobo
ah, i've never heard it said actually, i assumed it was gai-sahl. TIL.
Aside from gearing and calling out chocobo to help
Just don't go and grab multiple enemies
You just don't have a lot of tools at your disposal at low level to survive a group of adds
does free trail has party?
you can be invited to a party by a non-trial, but you can't make your own.
does free trail has mounts to mvoe faster?
You get speed upgrades and eventually flying
all mounts have the same movement speed
increasing the speed is done by completing the story, using riding maps bought with specific currencies, and unlocking flight.

Is there any point in doing hatching tide event after you get the costume and the house items?
If I started PotD as a thaum, do I have to start from floor one once I unlock BLM?
yes
@mental oracle only if you want more archon eggs to buy more furniture/fireworks with
Hi, can I buy expansion using paypal or crysta?
oh ok
I bought the complete edition with paypal
ah ok
What do y'all find more fun, Gunbreaker or Samurai?
Not joking, both
Gunbreaker is pretty fast paced and the attack animation is very strong and powerful
I'm not even close to the levels to unlock them but they both look really fun
:p
Oh, I didn't realise Gunbreaker was a Tank class
Samurai attack animation feels smooth, precise, and deadly. Very fun to weave in different abilities
it increases the power of your collecting skills until you hit the cap for that item
does your chocobo take a chunk of your actual exp in battle or does it get its own
it's own.
It's own
ok good
Take note that your chocobo will always match your level
The exp it gain is used to rank up
so if i’m fully melded for perception at let’s say 70, then getting high collectibles from level 60 should super easy right
i see, ok other than the girl at idylshire are there any other people that take deliveries for scrips ? ( excluding collectibles obviously)
is there a calculator for the perception needed to get +3 on pick clean on a specific node?
@leaden ginkgo custom deliveries are spread throughout the game https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Category:Custom_Delivery
The Balance discord has this for a bunch of breakpoints.
Note that +3 for Pick Clean is RNG and cannot be guaranteed.
doh_dol_resources, at the very bottom of the ffxiv resource channel category
whats enmity increase?
is it worth upgrading to full game just to remove the gil cap?
enmity is what the game uses to decide who the monster will attack, the person with the most being their target.
Should I be a Fisher just because?
tanks get a stance that boost the enmity they generate, along with a ranged move for a quick increase, and provoke to become the #1 target.
@onyx anchor If you enjoy it? 🤷♂️
Fisher is a lot more of a puzzle compared to Botanist and Miner for figuring out where and how to get specific fish
with different baits, time of day, weather conditions, and sometimes catching other fish beforehand
If you really feel like it, sure. Just remember that once you upgrade to the full game you can't go back to the trial at all when your 30 free days run out.
I mean am I going to miss out on a ton of gil if I keep playing the free trial until the end of heavensward? I just started the 1st quest of 2.2 am currently level 58
This is a less serious question, but... why is Fisher so aggressive?! Like, bruh, I'm wielding this rod like a sword.
Missing some Gil reward is not gonna make or break your gameplay experience
all of the crafter/gatherers use the paladin stance for their animations
you can especially see this in the /battlepose and /victory emotes
i don't have them xD

is the augmented exarchic whm weapon better than the cryptlurker one? :O
cuz i already got the augmented exarchic one for my ast and whm
i have enough to get a crypt one too
Cryptlurker can be further augmented
And become i530
If you only aim to gear up for Endwalker, then augmented Exarchic is more than enough
fair clarification, the cryptlurker wpn may only be augmented via savage raid
you'll be able to augment it through other means closer to endwalker's release
if not ON its release
Augmented Exarchic and Cryptlurker canes have the exact same stats, just swapped in which one is higher.
Cryptlurker is oh so slightly better due to having high determination instead of high piety.
stupid question, where can i fish for harbour herrings?
Is there a way to get HQ high-cordial?
Or can you only buy it NQ at the scrip vendor
ty ^^
Yeah the wiki only tells me where to buy em' but not how to get HQ version... I swear I've seen some in videos too
There is no HQ hi-cordial
you might've seen HQ Watered Cordial as they look similar.
in terms of pure GP/minute, yes.
but sometimes the smaller ones are better if you're doing things like unspoiled nodes
where you don't need the full 400 and just need a smaller amount
hi-cordial shines for consistent grinding of items
depends on what you want out of it.
this shows a bunch of break points for gathering
so for diadem, you would meld your stuff to hit all 3 bonuses, meaning 2740 Gathering, 2642 Perception, and 858 GP
(Food probably needed)
Yeah I think I get it
hey
I wanna ask if im playing FFXIV in Hong Kong. What region is it supposed to be?
tiny bit that got cut off in the main image
I purchased FFXIV through steam and during the square enix registration, it says the code is inapplicable?
what is going on?
@leaden ginkgo Pretty sure you're stuck with the Chinese Client unless you use a VPN.
Chinese client is in steam right?
...I can't tell you. :X
China and South Korea basically run their own separate versions of the game and don't interact at all with NA/EU/JP.
..
that is....
annoying
thanks for the reply
I still can’t buy stuff from mog station with my cellphone, does this happen to other people?
hey, does anyone know something about "Failed to confirm the session key." whenever you try to log in to the forum?
How do I know which doh I need to desynth a certain item?
hello: is there any benefit to promoting at my GC? and are there any cool items i can buy with the GC seals if i grind some out?
or does GC use fall off after you get chocobo and stuff?
You can buy Free Company Workshop materials as well as NQ cordials for a cheap price
It's the easiest way to get glamour prisms once you get gear turn ins as well
Since you can just basically directly convert old/dungeon loot into seals into glamour prisms
this may sound stupid, but what is the main appeal of glamour prisms/
to make all my armor look matching so i don't look like a clown?
Also, some Relic Weapon materials come from Grand Company Seals as well
More or less. Also because endgame gear is a combination of two sets of gear so if you want consistency you generally glamour
... or you can glamour as a chicken. We don't judge.
(See: the Easter event in Gridania)
ah yeah was curious how the Easter event was still ongoing
where would i start it in Gridania?
sweet ill maybe do that while i wait for duty finder to queue me to a dungeon
MSQ progression locked behind this next dungeon
Followup, don't you only need level 30 and irrelevant gear to desynth, like, anything?
More or less. There's not really a point to leveling desynth since it's just "increased" chance of rare loot but the exact rates are still in the air
Unless you're super rich or super bored it's better to just desynth trash when you can
Right, but you absolutely need 30 to actually do it
yes
cool. need to level arm for it.
What's the current desynth cap?
510, I believe?
520

What can I do with tomestone of poetics after completing my sets?
does the fantasia from editor collection upgrade account-wide or character only?
Spend it on lvl 70 gear
I think yeah mine is poetics too lol
Where can I get level 70 gear? I’m still on stormblood level 67 msq
Then you need to do more msq
you don't unlock the vendor till 70
And I’ve maxed out poetics to 2000/2000
the vendor will unlock after completing the 4.0 story
I see
right next to the kugane aetheryte
Guys, im trying to exchange a chest piece for certificates of grandeur and i have it in my armory but it tells me "insufficient items"\
oh so it's useless to do the daily roulettes till I progress msq
no, it's very useful, gives a shitton of exp
You can still buy crafting mats and sell those
to turn it into some gil and stop overcapping
what time each day does daily roulette reset?
!daily
Can also use that command over in #kupo-bot-spam whenever
where do you get these crafting materials? The npc that sells me the gear ask for another currency
Guys how to get chicken suit?
do the hatchling quest in gridania at the amphiteathre
Remind me, which was the glowy Gabriel version?
Alpha or mark 3?
Nevermind, alpha is the non glowy one
And here I thought I had struck gold 
imo the alpha is better looking
okay, so I'm pretty new, and have been making my way through the dragoon questline, and I beat the quest where you get your armor. However, I may be dumb, bc I didn't get the chestpiece. I got all the other pieces thoug. Intentional, or did I do something wrong? lol
ahhh I see. I saw him say something about the fifth piece too, but I thought he meant the weapon......lmao thanks so much! ❤️
np - all classes have this, too
how to level up fast from 59 to 60
i already did roulette
and guests only give few exp
Gubal
Then you really dont need more levels
finishing your MSQ should get you enough exp to get from 59 to 60
Yeah, don't rush ahead for levels/skills/gear, just get the story out the way because those levels/skills/gear will be worthless until you're doing content at those levels
anyone know where to get the new emotes aside from the rainmaker hairstyle?
not out yet
no wonder thanks
what's the walk macro?
?
I remember seeing people doing the slow walk animation
Well you can use gpose and just change movement to slow walk or you can just turn on auto run while slow walking but I dunno what button that is on keyboard

ah
so i got the dragonsung relic, but for some reason i cannot finish the quest. does it save the class i chose when i first accepted it even if i then abandon it and reaccept if later?
nvm, just needed to equip it
I can get all glam for chocobo at Rank 20?
You must turn it on the class you accepted it on
i found out it needs to be equipped as well
where is elemental armor of fending from
Eureka
It's a level 70 thing. Old endgame content tied to the stormblood relics
ohhh
The quests for it start in Rhalgr's Reach iirc,
called something like And We Shall Call It Eureka
ohh i did that quest but after i was done i just moved on
If you've done the diadem in foundation it's like a battle class version of that (very loose explanation)
It does for many people, we can't really diagnose errors. Is there any information in the error message?
Error 403 and 20028
It says network issue
But my ps5 is connected to internet. I tried to restart everything and still same error message when starting the game
Is this the PS5 version or PS4 version? Are you on free trial or paid?
I downloaded the ps4 version
I can't even have a chance to login
Ps5 version (beta) is not available now on ps store
Which region are you in?
Have you already played the game on a PS4 beforehand or is this the first time trying to play it?
on ui setting in hud layout, what does ui element mean
it refers to any individual piece of the ui
like a hotbar is a ui element
or the duty list
but it has like a green bar on top of the scroll bar

what is a good place I can find a group to play with?
I am a returning player that just now returned and havent did any of the 5.4 stuff either and would like to find a group that I could play with and catch up to the current content with and such..
What do dps players do during queues? I just alt-tab, but I feel like I could do something LOL
#recruitment-primal would be an okay place to start
Also community finder
could do any kind of overworld content
Like leveling crafters/gatherers
Some relic questlines require you to do a shit ton of fates
could also do those
Alright. Thanks.
That's good advice, thanks!
what does "move to login notifications" in the "achievements nearing completion" mean?
keep in mind that if you’re doing fates and is a different job, you wont be able to change back immediately
yeah, I've run into that issue a few times recently, because I'm running MSQ as DNC these days, but I'm interested in leveling SAM
ended up having to run from mobs at the speed of light
so bad
That can indeed be annoying

I just go gather stuff for coffee biscuits ... or stuff that are usually sold in 99
Used to be the non diadem stuff for ishgard but not sure if those still sell
It means you will see achievements nearing completion upon logging in to the game.
to put a materia on an item, I right click the item and choose "meld" ?
if you unlocked it, yes. or else you can talk to a melder npc
yes I unlocked it, thx
to unlock samurai i only need 50lv and expansion? i dont have to do story to unlock him? main story i mean
correct, samurai has no msq requirements
question about resistance weapon, how do you guys complete the two 18 memories part? from doing FATEs or Raids?
both, usually
@twilit arch omg, thats great, thanks
do fates while queued for rabanastre/voidark
Grinding FATES while waiting for Raid queues
Or sometimes just doing FATES if I don't want to suffer in rabnastre for the 15th time
but his skills are locked due to some msq quest or just unlocked by leveling?
SAM only has skills behind the 60 and 70 quest due to being introduced in stormblood
hmm, okay
so it's not required to do every job quest until cap if you want to do it that way
*Until you hit 60 and 70 respectively
Help, I can add 1167 attributes to my WHM relic, where do I put the points ?
Crit > direct hit > determination
there's no DH for whm

So 510 crit 510 det ?
crit > det > sps
rest in like spell speed
yes
Or piety, if you're lazy and want to be even more comfy on a mana efficient healer
But that's if you're not chasing optimal
I prefer optimal
Returning player here. I added my credit card, service account should be active (i dont see any 'activate account option. i see a cancel service account option under subscription). Is there a delay in the system, or do i need to do something else?
esp since I'll carry this weapon until next expansion
Don't press cancel service account, you'll need to go to add a subscription
Or manage subscription
Your card details are in but you haven't selected a subscription option yet so they don't charge you until you do
... nope, I'm as confused as you are.
email received, payment through. been 15mins, but still no license error when login
ok
then its abnormal
Wait I can't put materia in the ilvl 515 relic ?
no, the choose your stat stage removes materia melding for relic
no, because you get two maxed substats and then some
That's more than a 5 slot materia weapon could ever give you at 515
I know deliveries are limited to 6/week, but are collectibles exchange limited in the number of scrips you can get per week?
no
Collectibles are unlimited
oh nice, ty
quick question
are you trying to log in thru the steam launcher or regular launcher?
(they used to be limited during Heavensward, but that's a few years ago now)
(last time I played was HW haha)
im getting a lot of crafting material/ingredients from monsters. im currently running only a DPS class. Is there a way to save these materials? or do i just sell them for 1gil apiece
steam launcher
Well, you could stuff em on a retainer
starting ffxiv from steam?
and do you own the game thru steam
If you're on the free trial though, no such luck
Does your Mogstation say full game(steam) or full game
Yes, there's a difference
how do i check that?
on the account page
cant find what you are looking for
Ah, you can't sign into the game via Steam anymore.
Was changed in March of last year
You must use the standalone launcher.
heyy thanks for that
the account type is what we are talking about
will google for standalone launcher
!faq launcher

Kitty
!faq download
Can anyone tell me the name of this hairstye ?
early to rise @ocean acorn
Thanks!
solved, thanks mates!
any way to mass desynth? or any keyboard shortcuts? 😦
What's the best gear available right now ? And second best too
actions > general > desynthesis
it'll open up a menu which you can just mash num0 to desynth stuff
Is there any way to make gil with grand company seals ? I'm currently maxed out on them
Augmented Cryptlurker and eden promise savage gear with savage weapons for the best gear
glamour prisms
ok thanks
default is "Cancel" and still have to check box for unique stuff :/
everything else is kinda subjective and doesn't sell all the time but some stuff is appreciated like FC materials
you can disable the unique check in character options, iirc
but yeah no it's always a hassle
ffs
how do you get the items to augment cryptlurker gear ?
Trade nier raid coins, or hunt nuts, or savage books for them
hunt nuts where ?
Crystarium or Eulmore, by the hunt board
at what time the market refresh? for rates it says today but is it at a specific time?
How do I get Discord to show me notifications in top left corner when I am playing FFXIV?
Can anyone invite me to a hunt LS/CWLS (I am on Aether, Cactuar)
Ty!
MSQ and class/job quests. Most
are good too as they unlock content and features.
are mostly just for extra story and not worth doing for rewards.
is the reward same for 600 and 1000 collectability?
yes
Thank you
What are these eggs at costa del sol? Bunny season decoration?

Just coral I think
Is it really true that some people in ranked pvp feast will stop playing matches to avoid losing their spot in top 100? Wouldn't someone else who is climbing just overtake them and push their spot lower down the ladder?
theoretically, yes, but once the pool is small enough you'll just never get a match due to how the rankings work
Was about to say, with how many people actually play pvp it might as well not matter
If I were mean i would say that the top 100 is basically the entire dedicated pvp community
Hey, so im planning to play final fantasy xiv. i still dont know nothing about it besides it has servers/data bases? Which one is recommended for EU?
Data Centers are basically mega servers. Each DC has several worlds which are like the "actual" servers
For EU you would probably want to choose any world on either Light or Chaos, both are fine
is there a big difference?
Instanced content happens cross world but not cross dc. You can also visit other worlds on the same DC. But is that a big difference? No.
It just affects the pool of players you can queue with, as at the moment you cannot do content across data centers, only within your data center
Just FYI, Shiva has a rep for being a German world and Moogle has a rep for being a French world
If that matters to you
this will change come 5.58 (close to Endwalker's release, give or take.)
afaik EU also only has one preferred world right now (preferred means they have an xp boost up to lvl 70 for new players)
Which is Twintania on the Light dc
im looking for a mostly english or dutch server
hello guys... i can't type @ in launcher to reset my password... any tips? (tried onscreen keyboard... can't paste it... no clue what else to try)
atleast an full english one. And how long stays the xp boost on that server? or is it forever for people under 70?
Not forever, it's X days minimum iirc
Don't remember how long exactly but more than long enough
alright, thanks!
on a preferred server could you stop a class at 69 and swap jobs to maintain the bufff?
It applies to all jobs that are not yet 70
It hides itself when you get to 70
And comes back when you swap
No need to stop at the Nice level
Yeah 90 days at least or longer if the server remains preferred
It doesn't last longer than 90 days
is it worth putting doom spike ony my hotbar if i can't chain it to other AOE?
It just stays 90 days minimum even if the world is no longer preferred 1 day after you create your character
wouldnt it be better to still focus the single target til i at least get the 2nd part of the chain
Yes its aoe damage
It is at 3+ targets
dragoon just gets its aoe combo skills very late
You typically only put disembowel up and then mash doom spike
you'll get 2 more eventually
thanks
to move on to the next quests
The quests are sequential, completion of one unlocks the next
im struggling to figure out good placement for abilities on a hotbar for controller. anyone have a pic or video that has a good one?
You have to do all 3 trials
ohhhh
okay thank you
best way to pex a level 30 dps ? levequests, dungeons, other ?
I do leves and hunting log until 15, a run of Satasha, then leveling roulette every day. POTD would probably be faster but I can't be bothered.
In theory leveling dungeon spam would be fastest but queue times suck as dps
If you have a tank or healer friend though then you're good
if you have a leveled squadron, that would also work. IDK how much the AI slows down dungeons though.
do we know what the Leviathan unreal mount will be
Squadrons have mildly boosted exp to compensate for the shit ai
They didnt add a mount with levi unreal
With the right squadron tactic set up its fine
just a minion and two accessories
What's the animation when you do /cpose as a Samurai?
thx for the answers
The fight itself doesn’t drop anything. All rewards are from the faux leaf rewards.
I would've thought that the animation for Gladiator would fit Samurai more tbh
Oh, is it? I wouldn't know; I've got one male character and I never play him xD
iirc the male cpose is a FF7 reference
All jobs have 2 cpose 1 male 1 female
Mmh I have the same problem with leveling: I did all scenario quests and the next one is for lv 49 xD I am 48, already did the daily Duty Roulette... Levemetes seem they give low exp
What else?
just do Aurum Vale dungeon or something
I can't start a dungeon... Is it because I'm free trial? xd
is it possible to disable mount music?
You can start a dungeon, just go to the duty finder and if there is an issue the game would tell you what it is
Mmh I can't select the little square next the dungeon name
bottom bit
Npc is nedrick iron heart in vesper bay
do you already have a roulette selected or something?
@wintry chasm thanks
Oh true xD
hello , there a guide or something on how to reach the highest possible rank with GC ? my squadrons are stuck at lv 60 and idk how to advance them
Thanks ahahah
Do the flagged missions
Captain is the highest rank. To reach it, your squadron must have completed both flagged missions and then you must take them through and clear five unique command missions (dungeons)
To unlock the 3rd you need to complete 5 unique command missions
ohh and about full version of the game, after buying complete edition, i wont be able to play after subs ends right?
what's the current highest ilvl requirement ? without/with savages
530
For both
You can augment Cryptlurker without savage now
Minus weapon so you'll settle with diamond EX weapon
I mean ilvl requirement for instances
Also second ring
Savage required is 500 for first two. 510 for last two
ok ty
510 is current highest requirement
then at 501 I'm soon able to go there
Even for extremes
what gear do we get in eden's promise, outside savage ?
510 from normal
thanks, that's good enough for me I guess
how do i recognize flagged missions , i dont see any in my squadron missions tab.
i forgot

i dont have any of those
hello got a question its bugging me

above my hotbars there's a section where some skills are just there, almost like to show me the cooldowns stillon them
how do i change which skills are there?
i tried but it isn't changing anything, my UI layout claims its bar 3 but when i edit bar 3 there's nothing on it
If your squad has already cleared the flagged missions, then you can just take them through five dungeons and you should be able to unlock captain rank.
ill just look around the UI some more
the mission should be literally named "flagged mission" ?
Yes
Yeah they appear at the top of the squad sergeant’s menu
hmm ok guess i only gotta do the dungeons then , thanks. does the lvl matter ?
No

Only your level. You need to be able to access that dungeon to enter it.
@raven burrow did you check all the mission tabs?
yeah
are large plots (the ones that cost 50mil) rare to vacate? i'm planning on buying one but i suspect people don't let go of it as easily as other plots lol
Yep
are lower-classes large plots more common to vacate? or also very rare?
Its all rare
no, large plots in general are going to be super rare
mostly due to the fact that there are so few of them
argh. i think i'll settle with a medium then
i just plugged in a mouse and drag/drop was easier
than messing with the settings lol
Its rare to find a house in general but large houses are hard to come by because most of the time people get them by upgrading
Id say settle for anything less than large rn then upgrade
makes sense. thanks!
best way to farm allegory? with the exception of expert and lv 80 roulette
Hunt trains
lol pf dead always on hunt trains
Cause people tend to invite in zoned
Just run roulettes as a lv80 also 50/60/70 roulette gives 100
How much is DRK damage increased when I have Darkside?
10%
Hunting usually relays through linkshells and discords. You should try and join a couple of those.
can u upgrade ur house, from small to large?
By relocation
and u need still to click endlessly for tens of hours?
Trying to get dyeable 80 gear for dnc, anyone willing to help?
Yes for open plots
As long as you HAVE A HOUSE you can upgrade or downgrade
Nope, relocation bypasses the invisible timer
And no recloation is an instant buy
The clicking game is only once if you don't have a house
You need to run memoria, your best bet is probably PF or recruitment-primal
And I suppose there isnt so much people doing relocation at the same time because u lose all u had in ur prev house?
you don't lose anything from your previous house. Everything moves into the storage of your new house
And storage is temporarily doubled
what should i spend tomestone of poetics on
why dont put a timer too there? just asking because curiosity, if its almost the same thing
it's 2000/2000 and im lvl 59
!faq poetics
thank you!
Its to prevent bots from waiting at a specific time to buy a house
Buy shire if you havr accesd to Idyllshire
That's why the invisible timer is there
instead bots are clicking on the placard for hours, what an upgrade
invisible time wasn't to prevent bots
Its a dumb safety measure but oh well
it was prevent people from selling houses for grossly overprice
It was to prevent house flipping
So that the players couldn't monopolized the housing market
harder to sell a small plot for 30m+ when you can't assure the plot will be available
do i have to finish heavnsward first? or just arr
nice, thxs for the info
HW
idyllshire requires you to be around lvl 58~ in the msq

You shouldn't need 60 gear before idyllshire
You could start an alt job and buy the ironworks gear in advance
You gear for your story level
Not character level
Which is why its pointless to be overlevelled
Character level and MSQ level are.
Different
Everything revolves around msq
what to do with older ranks of materia ?
Grade 1-4 you could save for zetas, 5-7 is kinda useless
Not necessarily
6s are free stats
Since guaranteed retrieval
7s are for overmelding
a congested server does not allow new char creation, but allows char transfer into it?
do i still need to be at least lv38 to complete it/receive rewards?
at the very least, you have to be in the same class that started the quest to accept the rewards
ah damn okay
figures itll be hard to exploit a game thats been updated over 10 years lol
so if you start MSQ that is lvl 38, it checks for your lvl? if lvl 38, proceed to do so. no way your level drops, so yes to your qns?
ya i dont think you can do a quest in lvl 70 mage and collect it as rewards for lvl 32 warrior or something like that
erm. this was memory from 1 year ago >.<
As long as the class is at or above the quest level, it can complete it
Best way to farm bozja cluster ?
bump. just had a successful transfer to tonberry, which was a congested server 1 year ago? does that mean players get purged to open space in congested worlds
just because it was a congested server a year ago doesn't mean its a congested server now
server status changes with every major patch/maintenance. tonberry is current a standard world
Not necessarily. People delete their accounts, get banned for unrelated reasons, transfer out, etc.
I have a question. According to this link. https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Chimera_Mane
I need an item called Althyk Lavender to trade for Chimera Mane. Where can I get it?
ok, but its actual decrease to the number of players that i get a chance to enter
i see

whether a server is congested or not is decided by SE
Gardening
who has the actual player numbers and decides whether the server has too many players or not enough
I have Botanist which is high enough to get it
sometimes the audio just completely cuts out until I restart the game, does that happen to anyone else?
Wait. It says that I can get the seeds with Grand Company Seals
what about them? audio is working everywhere else
when I got to dig a map and have a party, the first player from the party who opens the chest keeps all the items?
FFXIV really doesn't like it when you swap audio devices
