kill the small moogles before the big one
is it worth to level up other classes/jobs? or i can stick to one and not lose anything?
whatever you want
Completely optional
That’s from previous expansions
Not so much anymore
It basically only exists nowadays for the gathering class, but it’s still pretty useless for them.
the rainmaker hair gonna be permanent at the gold saucer now?
yes
With 5.5, is there a new alliance raid too?
yup
Some weeks ago someone here told me that I could appreciate more the plot of Nier raids if I've already finished Nier Automata with endings A,B and C. But with the last Nier raid from 5.5, is it needed to get more Nier Automata endings before for enjoying it more?
i think the 5.5 draws more from other neir games
I mean... technically you'd need to play Drakengard too if you want to fully enjoy it
But that's a whole other can of worms
LOL, which Drakengard? 1 or 3?
1
Is it just me or did they increase the 'fluttering' speed of tops such as songbird's?
Like when casting broil or adlo
It flutters very fast now
I have a video before the patch with old speed and there's definitely a difference
do you know which ending from Drakengard 1 ?
E
Any other Yoko Taro game I should need to know to enjoy more Nier Raids? maybe something from the first Nier?
Yes, replicant is also tied in to a degree
ive been told you dont need to play any nier games to appreciate the nier raids because they wont make sense anyway
If you don't want to play through the games but are still interested in the story or other details, I'd go watch video summaries
Having played all the Taro games definitely leads to nice "Ohhh" moments during the raids
But even without that it's still nice
No need to put that kind of time into it
Though playing nier and automata come highly recommended from me
Extremely good games
honestly
I'm playing Nier Automata before doing the raids, but probably will watch the cutscenes from Drakengar 1.
ive never played drakengard 1
I played d1 for like 2 hours
and i still recognized it
Welp, old game is old
the most ive done was read the wiki pages for the nier games and im pretty sure i understood most things except the ||red girl||
but then i just read the wiki for that
yoshida has said he is going to continue with this game for the forseeable future, as it amounts to his life's work
so this game isn't going away
We're taking about drakengard lol
aww cerberus you changed your pfp
To be honest, I have never played any other ff game before xiv, so when I played the ivalice raids they didn't make any sense to me
Nier raids have any reference to Drakengard 3 ?
Same goes for this raid for nier
@wheat plume not nier raids but i think the edenmete scouting/striking headpiece is?
!iglam Edenmete Eye Mask of Scouting
could be completely unrelated tho
It looks like it is related.
Is there any hint or rumor about if EW raids will have crossover with another game for the alliance raids?
No
no
We dony know anything about them
They've hinted that the ew raids will be original
The 8 man raids appear to have something to do with lahabread
All that info is from the live letter announcing endwalker
this isnt the place to discuss it
what kind of mods
theres a bunch of different software for different things
If you want shaders theres a pin in #ffxiv-screenshots
Might be a little outdated looking at it but should point you the right direction
whats the command for blm leveling?
exactly that
some reason, the games not recognizing my gamepad
prefix?
I did a fresh reinstall
!faq
thanks
like its just NOT getting any read off it

tried other games and it works fine
hello around what dungeon/gear level will the gear from Heavensward start to pull past Augmented Ironworks?
like will that gear last me like 1/2 into heavensward or only til like 2nd dungeons?
thats cool, if i mainly jump into it during the roulette for the increased drops
Are the fete rewards from Ishgard gonna be limited?
As in after fetes end, you can't get them anymore besides MB?
also at what point does the sprout icon near my head leave? and does that icon provide any benefit?
Start of Shadowbringers story
do i need this on my ui
@fallen axle after 7 days of playtime and getting to shb
You can get invited to Novice Network
And other important stuff under it
cool
Which you should really go do
thats 7 days
such as?
your job quests
is a catsrum meridianum duty run quicker than in the story ?
yes
which is longer between this one and preatorium, and how long should I expect ? around 20 min?$
thanks
So I am currently a lvl 26 thaumaturge. I am interested in playing as a dark knight, so are there any prerequisites given that I chose thaumaturge as my starting job?
get to heavensward
That is it? I need nothing else?
No prior class leveled
Okay so I can lvl my thaumaturge/black mage to 50 then become a dark knight. Cool.
Getting to Heavensward is the slower part
there is an option somewhere that turns that UI element off automatically when you've caught up/finished current MSQ, and turns back on when there's more added
gotta finish all MSQ for base game and the post game leading into Heavensward too
my dragoon is lv 51 and im still plugging away at getting into Heavensward
must have Ishgard unlocked
Is there an end date on the Ishgard restoration fetes?
no
Yeah I did read that the story takes forever in this MMO. No worries I will just enjoy my time as a black mage until the rest of the game opens up.
i mean story is long but they seem to have streamlined it a lot
Does FFXIV also count the time in the launcher as playtime for /playtime like some games on steam do?
Fetes are permanent
On a "one day on, two days off" pattern
Rip Barding and minion prices
You might as well consider Ishgard Housing to be an event....cause hoo boy, that'll soon turn from Ishgard Housing (Normal) to Ishgard Housing (Ultimate)
shit fete*
Are all the aquapolis drops in the fete rewards? Or is that just unknown at the moment. Oh, nvm it seems okay. Just it’s just that the regular duty minions from ARR and sky builder exchange minions got hit
Why do people even want houses when you just have an inn room free wherever you go most of the time?
you cant decorate the inn room
Can directly teleport to it
Self-expression
it's an mmorpg so..rp reasons, personal reasons, etc.
Quicker access to facilities like market board
Oh, so housing is a long term investment that pays off in the long term, just like real life
we were kinda promised more stuff for FC houses for the members....like the crafting stations, but ykno..
I don't think it ever "pays off". But it has some perks, and what else you gonna spend gil on
The 100+ Million Gil Gold Mounts that are coming
it's a gil sink, like all other gil sinks.. cept it's multi-functional and not just a mount 😛
The what now are coming?
the gil mounts are only like 50 mil
25m/50m respectively, currently
Oh really, that's gonna be a thing? Cool, I'll be getting those.
they are a thing
theyre already in game
Eulmore for the 25mil one. Mor Dhona for the 50mil one
They're a thing already? Where from?
Eulmore.
Golden ronka mount and golden namazu
Nice! Thanks!!
New vendor to the right of the tomestone vendors
Eulmore or Mor dhona, inside the building
It’s intentional, inflation is mega bad in this game.
Why don't they implement a more fun healing and tanking system , waiting in que as dps it took me 30 mins when I switched to white mage I haven't had to wait more than half a milisecond
although i would just spend gil on the augmented hades weapons and frontier stuff
Seby that's how MMOs are.
That's not a question, Seby.
there is always more interest in DPS than healing or tanking
healing and tanking is already fun
People dont want responsibility
also it doesnt matter what they add, people tend to stick to their roles
dps tend to stay dps
Question, what is the difference between console and pc FFXIV. Like which one is better.
nothing
Officially, nothing. Both are on par.
Nothing? It's all the same?
theyre the same game
There's alot of people who prefer controller
loading times i guess
And alot of people who prefer kbm
Both even play on the same servers and can use controller and keyboard/mouse
Makes no difference
console and pc have cross play
There are no extra worlds or mounts on PC than console?
no
no
No
same game
It's literally the exact same game
I need help figuring this out. I've been collecting collectibles with miner and botanist and when I try to go into Aetherial Reduction it doesn't show any of them. I've done them all from raw onyx to amber clover and even when I right click the option doesn't show up. I've done the quest to unlock AR but nothing... What's up?
Wow that's insane. Console it is then.
bear in mind that you're locked to platform unless you buy it again on another later if you want
Aetherial Reduction is only for specific items now.
console and pc have cross play
it doesnt matter what you choose
If it's not one of the specific items you can't reduce it
The only exclusive mounts really are stuff like the Amazon Black Chocobo Mount and the GARO PvP Mounts but those ARE NOT platform exclusives

What should I get. Starter pack or the complete edition.
free trial first
The free trial, ideally
Complete has everything when you're ready
then i would recommend updating from free trial to complete
But ps4 doesn't have free trial
yes it does
it does
Iy doew
demo
It does?
It's listed as a demo
Oh god I feel like this is going to be a game I'm going to be adddicted too, lol.
How do I hide HUD so I can get good shots of flying through the Lochs?
Scroll lock
!faq freetrial
read through the limitations of free trial so you're not caught offguard. it's mostly social stuff but you can bypass some of it with help
Thank you, now I can record B-roll footage using OBS
I searched up Final Fantasy XIV demo but it doesn't say it has a demo. Where do I look.
This is on Ps4
not pc
Final fantasy xiv starter Edition > scroll down > try demo
Open Beta Test
Do mounts get faster? I swear my chocobo feels way faster than before
Where can I see the speed increase at ?
Ah I have a golden star for this zone
Buy it
But its worthless cause yoy habe flying at that time
oh i fly anyways
Gotta do allied hunts to buy the speed 2 map
okay cool nevermind
But flying is always at max speed so it's useless
Alrighty it doesn't say I can download this free trial on ps4 anywhere. Sorry if it's getting annoying trying to help I'm more a visual learner than auditory.
So if anyone is willing to actually send me a video of how I can do that, that'd be extremely helpful. I can't find any on YouTube which is really surprising.
!faq mounts
'When can I get my first mount?'
The quest that allows you to use mounts, 'My Little Chocobo' is unlocked by completing the level 20 main story quest 'The Company You Keep'. The quest is located at the Grand Company base you chose and you'll need to buy the Chocobo Issuance from your Grand Company Quartermaster. You can get the 200 needed Grand Company seals by doing the main story quest that comes after 'The Company You Keep'.
'Are there any differences between mounts?'
Besides looks, all mounts are the same speed along with being able to fly. Some mounts allow multiple people to ride at once.
'Can I make my mount faster?'
Zones have one or two ranks of mount speed that increase the ground speed of mounts. The first rank comes from completing specific quests in the main scenario quests, with the second rank coming from Riding Maps which are bought with either Allied Seals, Centurio Seals, or Bicolor Gemstones. Mount Speed Boosts do not increase the flying speed of mounts.
Top half
is there a storage for gear? or is that locked behind a non-trial version
chocobo sadlebag
nice i forgot about saddlebags
How do I tidy up my hotbar now that I've copied over the settings from my main character to my alt?
Nevermind, it all the sudden popped up with the free trial on the bottom after repeatedly trying this method 50 times. Not sure why they are so vehement on hiding deep in the ps4 store but they did a damn good job.
There we go, much better, NVM
Are there taverns in this game
yes?
There's both in game and player made ones via housing
The inn usually double as a tavern
Alrighty there is just way too much in this game I don't know of I'm just going to stop asking questions and figure this out myself, lmao.
read the tutorials

Nah I'm straight I'll learn.
what do you mean by tavern though? a place to logout safely? you can do that anywhere there is a large Aetheryte and get Sanctuary. a place to obtain quests? they're all over the map
Nah man I mean like a place to chill you feel me. Like a medieval type bar
Like that
people dont gather there
Can I buy any of the store mounts in trial mode or do I need full game?
i mean theres places that give off that vibe
If I'm playing and my crew like the area then damn straight we will gather there. All depends.
i mean sure but other people dont
We don't need other people the crew is big enough, if others come then they come. 🤷♂️
What's a good chair mount that I can buy that will look good for scenes of me talking in lore videos?
flying chair
Do I buy it from any old MB?
or craft it
Thank you. Wow, this was cheaper than I expected, MUCH cheaper
sheesh rich man over here
Goddamn.
200k is cheap in this game
oh that
Thats not alot
thats average for a non crafter
You can craft mounts? Oh shit
crafters have around 50 mil average?
That amount you can get and maintain from just doing Roulettes and treasure maps assuming you don't spend frivolously
Gil is quite useless in this game outside of using it to skip crafts or to skip certain grinds
Anyone know if u can equip costumes in trial mode?
Is there a specific time I should try to register to join the ocean fishing boat? Everytime I try to reigster it says it's full.

you glamour them
!faq glamour
'What is Glamour and how do I unlock it?'
Glamour is the process of changing an equipment's look into a different item with the use of Glamour Prisms. You can unlock the ability to glamour by doing the level 15 quests 'If I Had a Glamour' in Vesper Bay, West Thanalan. Although not required, you can unlock the ability to dye gear with the nearby quest 'Color Your World'. You can get the Orange Juice needed by talking to the nearby Merchant & Mender. Items used for glamouring are not lost upon use.
'How do I glamour? Where do I get more Prisms?'
Glamouring is done by right-clicking (Square or X on controllers) on the equipment you want to glamour and choosing the option 'Cast Glamour'. After clicking this you choose the item you want the appearance on the right half of the menu that opened up. You can get more Glamour Prisms by either crafting them after completing the quest 'Absolutely Glamourous', buying them from your Grand Company Quartermaster, or buying them from the marketboard.
Nah you can't you're a slave in trial mode
Now that I have my flying chair, where is a place where I can sit and look good at the camera? Idyllshire?
You tell me.
dont shitpost in this channel
What's shitpost
joking like that
@stiff skiff not even mount skins?
Joke answer.
@fading aurora you glamour them
Oh sorry mom, won't happen again
It says you can purchase select items on the store but it doesn't say what
mogstation items are only meant for glamour
It departs every 2 hours
Nah man, it's literally impossible
!mute @stiff skiff 1h
If it’s equipable, you can glamour it...usually
So just check by talking to the NPC if it happens on an even or odd hour for you.
you can buy costumes on trial iirc
So you have to have full account to unlock glamour?
No.
No
no
I’m on trial and can glam
@obsidian patio How much time before the 2 hour mark should I arrive and try to register?
You can only register when the window is open.
Right on the mark, you got 15 minutes or so when the window opens
@boreal storm have you bought any skins
So if you want the fullest boats then come a minute or two before
Okay gotcha, so there's only one 15 minute window per 2 hours?
Yes.
And the 15 minute window is before the two hour mark right?
After.
Nope, because I don’t need to
Okay sounds good!
Hey guys I'm a couple patches behind so my iLvl is pretty low for MSQ. What's the quickest/cheapest way to get my iLvl up for 5.4 and 5.5 quests and dungeons?
So if it's at 2, the window is 2 to 2:15
Thanks a ton for the help!
!faq gearguide @bright bane
thanks!
Do Normal Raids for 510 gear, buy it off the marketboard,
thers no page
you go to your glamour dresser or open your plates from the character window
There's no glamour log, you just right click your gear >apply glamour
If you mean like an in-game tutorial go to Active Help > type in glamour in the search bar
I just wanted to know how I equip it, and can I only use one armour skin on one item and then it's gone or can I use it on other gear

HUGE Thanks to my Patreon Sponsors, who make this ...
Equipment doesn’t go away when glamoured.
Infinite use, but you need glamour prisms per use
The appearance just gets copied
Do note the glamour dresser is free per application, but you still need prisms to put gear inside the dresser
I think i might be missing something here. when i went to talk to regana to get my replica talekeeper recollection (the glowy rdm resistance weapon), all she had was the non-glowy version. any ideas as to what's going on? i already have the law's order rapier (unaugmented) if that helps
I'll watch that guide
Need to get the augmented for the glowy 1st stage
Big thank you to Cerberus, I think I just found my story telling spot
you could also get an apartment and decorate it however you want for your background
hello. i cant call support until tomorrow so i hope i can ask here and maybe get some help about my account. sorry if this is the wrong place
Wouldnt that require hours of clicking and selling my soul to the caffeine gods?
where can I get apartments?
@snow roost we arent customer support but you can try asking anyway
What can we help you with?
@cursive abyss the big building in any residential area
talk to the npc in the lobby
Do you pay rent for apartments, just like IRL?
Nope
not when I have Eureka fully done, because bunny spam
Question about DR. Why do some people designate the Warrior as a primary target at the start of the 2nd boss? What am I missing here?
I don't see any reason why you would want to target a specific bot before they scatter and you take them one by one
All my groups just clump them up and AoE them down
Well yeah, that's what I would have thought
I’ve never seen people designate a specific one to burn down
Just sometimes you get the big ol' 1 above the warrior
Hm weird
Only thing I can think of is a dislike for the bomb mechanic
i've seen it a couple of times, but afaik it doesnt really matter since its random which one is first
So they want to get it over with
thanks.i bought and played the game through steam like 4 years ago only one expac out then. i want to come back but for the life of me i cant get my old account back.
Also the bosses automatically jump away when they hit 80% or after some amount of time.
Do you glamour mounts by right clicking like gear? Tutorial I watched didn't show anything about kounts
May just be some people who think it's a fixed rotation for them? idk, I've seen the same
Probably to get him lower than the others since he takes the longest afaik
Mounts*
So burning a specific one generally has no use
Welp, glad I wasn't missing something obvious then
Only the grand company chocobo can be “glamoured” through the companion menu
Is it possible to set up a controller layout on PC and then export those settings somehow to PS4?
Can all skins go on chocobo?
They have specific armor sets called barding
Are you missing your account name and/password? Did you have a digital authenticator linked to it?
you dont glamour your chocobo you just equip the barding
Bardings can be crafted, bought etc
The only restrictions to bardings that you can’t use ones outside of your current grand company, and the ones that want rank 10 of a chocobo role that it doesn’t have
Lets say I bought this mount, will it be a seprate mount from the chocobo?@obsidian patio
Yes.
yup
Ok that's all I wanted to know lol
You can see all the mounts you have unlocked under Character -> Mount Guide
@leaden ginkgo i was able to get into two of my square accounts but neither are for the ones i used in steam apparently. when i use the one i think it is it tells me not valid even though i have the key through steam
A few mounts
It should be the same account regardless of steam. Are you able to log into the mog station with either of those accounts?
this whale is pretty big
Ye I saw someone fly on one and it looked massive lol
just fyi theres a new whale mount coming soon and it will be 8 seater
no lol
Just get friends then?
8 seats for the red and black war version
I mean... even the 8 seater whale can be used by just one person 😄
just letting you know in case you wanted to save for the new whale instead
or buy friends
You don't actually need 8 people on it to fly anywhere
@remote lintel knowing me I'll probably buy all the mounts in the store before buying the actual game
did we know the mount song for the new whale ?
It’s probably the lunar whale theme from FF4
Like the one in the trailer they used for it
nice i loved ff4
make sense
The only thing that caught my eye in store is the bennu mount
inb4 its just the default mount song
Only close thing to a dragon
I don’t think that’s smart, there’s a lot of in game mounts that are “technically” free
oh man im queued for leviathan. can't wait cause i wanna try Machinist once i hit heavensward
anyway whale and dragon are two differents things 
excited for your mech right?
Does the store get new mounts or is it the same old ones
Usually the ones from past seasonal events
im just excited to try another class, a ranged one at that
i enjoy Dragoon but now i want to try another
Non store mounts get more frequently added than store mounts
Is the mount section the only mount store or is there a hidden one aswell
By a lot actually

I was gonna do tank but my friend is about to try tank and if we both run it we can't queue up together lol
For cash? No, mogstation is it
what the name of this mount ?
zu horn is the name of the item
oh ty
it's a Eureka mount iirc?
@fading aurora magic, probably haha
@fading aurora because having some mounts fly and not others got annoying
also theres no hidden section in the store
These days they actually try to make sure that when the mount flys it gets some kind of different animation for that
So it looks reasonable
Rubeus Hagrid would like a word with you
But old mounts don't always have that
💀
dont forget the flying gorilla
Or the flying turtle that spins like a top
the flight suit mount has the sickest flying animation imo
@remote lintel some gorillas have mind powers they are flying using telechinises
closely followed by O12S
Or how ever u spell it
Antelope stag’s explanation is just “Do you have aether, then it can fly”
Is the sleipnir mount a recolor of anything?
no
That's just the horse of a specific boss
Look, the rabbit hole of unreasonable mounts is deep
Guys are there dummies in Limsa? XD need to do a bit of pratice
Summerford farms
Nearest dummy to Limsa is in summerford farm in middle la noscea
Oh nice, thanks!
there is a bed mount too
the bed is great
what can be better for a long travel ?
queen
@leaden ginkgo yes but it shows no characters
Here’s a bunch of different and probably ridiculous mounts that I have:
A dodo
A lion
T-Rex
Basically a giant dandelion
Robot Egg
Deadly Geometry
A pig
Giraffe
Sheep
Car
Tank
Snowman
Fat cat
blm’s don’t use scathe right?
Ideally no
@obsidian patio I'd sure Wana know how a giraffe flies
Magic
it believes in itself
It’s basically for “I’m moving for a long period of time and am out of instant casts”
You don't wanna know how the dodo flies?
theres the really really fat moogle
i love him 😭
That is not a dodo it looks like a fat seagull
there is some clouds mount too, for some dbz vibes
Gokus nimbus I saw it
ask
I have every multi seat mog station mount except this one
Fat chocobos are incentivized to fly with cake
im too poor to buy so i had to best E4S to get my multi-seat
I've decided to get the red hare horse Thanx for all the help guys
How many accounts did you have, just the two? Although a thought occurred to me. A few years back the steam launcher was altered that you have to use the play button in the steam window, not the file directory. Make sure you don't have anything in the launch options edited either.
So I level boosted my Warrior, but I want to wear the lvl50 gear which is the fighter gears. I went to calamity salvage in girdania but I can’t equip not glamour the item. Why? N how can I get the gear glamour?
I wish regalia will come back
you need to unlock glamour
its a lvl 15 quest in vesper bay
the msq takes you there
I already did all that
- Need glamour unlocked 2. Need your job stone equipped 3. Need glamour prisms
use a glamour crystal on the gear?
do you have prisms?
What's the error you get when you try to glamour
You can get tokens for a turn-in at revanent's toll in Mor Dhona. Most of them come from lvl 50 dungeons. I think that's the glam you're talking about
if you have a personal house already, do you still have to camp for an FC house?
yes
Question: friend is trying to get a house for their FC; BUT they're worried that if they get it in shirogane, new people or people without SB can't get there. Can anyone go to shiro with estate teleportation?
anyone know where the CChaser mount is from?
@leaden ginkgo dont need it for lvl 50 AF
@leaden ginkgo i tried all my emails and only had the two, when i start it it asks for the game code i put it in says its already in use
Still unknown
I’m in the post dragonsong quest and I have level 50 and 60 class.
Not available yet
what if you make your personal house the FC house?
do you have to caamp still for your personal house (again)?
i see
If you transfer your house plot to a different one, no
But it can't become an FC house
I only boosted my warrior just save time cause I already know how to play a warrior. I just want to glamour it
you can't turn your house into an FC house no matter what
do you have glamour prisms in your inventory
what does it say when you right click your gear and click glamour
what's the error you get when you try to glamour
Cant*
what does it say exactly
What does it say word for word
Can someone without stormblood use estate teleportation to go to shirogane?
Yes, they just can't leave the area by any means other than teleporting out
Ok so I'm trying to buy a mount but when I click on a payment option I get an error code :s3802
Anyone know how to fix ut
It*
Ah I know what it is, so I do have to buy the game to buy mounts
I guess I'll go buy it real quick
Okay so I cast the glamour but nothing shows so den It says “glamours are unavailable due to equipment restrictions “
Ohhhhh I see duh
It's because you're either not on the right role or job
Glam are affected by class restrictions
no, you should be a warrior
😅 I forgot to equip the soul
you need to be warrior
Not to glamour job gear, only warrior can do that
whoops wrong person

It’s okay, problem solve
blep
I equipped the soul warrior n den my glamour appeared
(it's the other way around btw, without the stone you are a Marauder. With it you are a Warrior)
I only had the gear and weapon equipped but not the soul stone
There's certain gear that can only be equipped by war not mrd
The restriction carries over to your glamour
@fading aurora you can take the complete edition or starter game + shadowbringer to get the full game
It’s fine. I had a brain fart. All is solved.
Found this solution on reddit, see if it helps. "Go into your Documents folder on your PC and then go into Final Fantasy XIV - A Realm Reborn folder and look for a file called FFXIV_BOOT.cfg. Open it up with Notepad and change EulaAgreement and StartupCompleted values from 0 to 1. It should fix your problem."
Thank you though. That question if warrior or marauder helped me find the answer lol. Again brain fart. I promise I’m no noob. I been playing this game since storm blood. Just a returning player.
It's all good, this is the place to ask questions no matter how dumb lol
@leaden ginkgo ill give it a shot. thanks for taking the time to help my friend
jsut realized the bar in Mor Dhona where the Rising Stones is called Seventh heaven
so many references in this game i love it

A friend recently had their install corrupted and had to remove it but they are getting this when attempting a reinstall any idea on a fix?
First time I’ve ever seen that error.
almost every part of XIV is a reference to another FF game. XIV is pretty much FF Greatest Hits
Are the stormblood clan hunts worth doing? I saw a level 70 mark in Gyr Abania but he wasn’t on the hunt board in kugane? Is that mark a shadowbringers mark?
stormblood marks are in stormblood areas
A and S ranks don’t have hunt bills, they always give rewards when killed.
So some stormblood marks aren’t on the board?
Are those certain death alone for a 70 character?
Yes.
yes you cant solo them unless youre overlevel
They're intended for groups
Are there any files left in his My Documents > My Games > Final Fantasy XIV folder. Those aren't all deleted during a reinstall and can cause errors
Thanks, wish the game explained this lol. Didn’t even know HW had A or S ranks
There’s NPCs spread throughout the zones that tell you of the local B/A/S ranks
does anyone have a list of the MSQ from post ARR to get to Heavensward?
trying to figure out how much i have left
80 quests
Usually in their zone, sometimes in the expansion’s hub zones instead
where is the standard file location for FFXIV the non steam version?
does crafter level effect the desynth increase?
why is that no one sells or buys wolf moccasins anymore?
last transaction on my server was over 2 months ago
what replaced them?
Nothing.
Program Files > Square Enix > FFXIV folder. The other file location holds things like screen shots and the like. During any kind of reinstall process it's best to clear everything out
does crafter level effect the desynth in any way like the desynth skill increases by (x.xx)
They were just basic i50 “PVP” gear with 1:1 model shares
PVP stats are standardized so not much reason for them to exist anymore.
AFAIK, no.
Thank god, I was scared for a moment because I desynth'd a bunch of stormblood shield from ex fights on a low level armorer
Any tips for the 030 + 010 pod mechanic in the puppets’ bunker? Watching a guide just stressed me to no end on that part
you can occasional bonus or hq item from desynth if you're overlevel
find the two 10s and stand between them
Why is the Flying Chair mount surprisingly cheap? I only paid about 200k+ Gil for it (286k, to be more specific). I thought mounts on the MB would cost a boatload.
Thank you
try to buy the night pegasus mount
cheap materials probably
Supply and demand
or incitatus mount

More people crafting it now because of the ishgard restoration, so it drove the price down. Supply and demand and all that.
cloudsbreath is pretty cheap plus you can buy the other crafting material from a vendor so
flying chair mount was part of ish. resto?
Just made leveling crafting easier. Why buy it when you can craft it yourself for much less?
I can make that = I'm too cheap to buy it and all that
i wish one day weaver can craft the carpet mount
30’s are the giant circle AoE, 10’s are the line aoe. When they’re mixed look for the two 10’s right by each other
are companions useful at all and worth using?
(unless you neglected any and all crafting on your main char, like I did, but I had cleared Eureka, so money is now not a concern for me anymore).
Hello on which site can i see every single armor set (and not its not eorzacollection) i hate that site actually... there was one better but for some reason i cant find it!
More damage is more damage
how much $$$ did you make from eureka?
No its not this site.
then check the #glamour-discussion pins
didnt realize ppl did eureka for the money
do companions passively attack or do i need to issue commands i have to play on a controller and seems annoying to use hotbar slots for companion
About maybe 6-8 mil from the mount sale. People do eureka for a ton of reasons
Bunnies are good money
@nocturne void they attack on their own
whats a good guide or list of side quest for arr, trying to get the dungeon unlocks done
Companions automatically attack unless you set them to only do healer actions
oh nice good to know
!faq contentunlock
@tribal apex
your amazing
its xivstyle im sure but for some reason the site is down ?
and ill copy that command
yes it was taken down
Xivstyle was outdated
the images from xivstyle were transferred to eorzeacollection it looks like
Stopped updating around 5.1
from legal action?
quick question, been awhile since I last played, but can you level the crafting classes past your main classes?
yes
It’s a lot of effort.
eorzeacollection has the same functions
eorzeacollection is much better
Not everyone wants to take pictures of every new outfit in every race/gender from multiple angles
no.. i click dungeon gear and it shows me nothing
because theyre still updating the images
xivstyle had that?
garlandtools has 3d models in every angle
in fact it's rotateable 3d model
Since I killed Gaius and Lahabrea I'm doing the quests... Moving to Mor Dhona but... What are all of those misery quests that give 5000 EXP? Wtf...
i just want to look the upgraded shiny armor set from eureka but i cant find it anywhere
I'm sick of these quests lol. I'm hating ARR
for example
post-arr quests never gave xp in the first place but then the level cap went up and they decided to give them a little to give some sense of progression
garland tools doenst show glow
It's too low xd
She's pointing to Ivalice, but is the city in top left Ul'dah? Or is that the Doman/Kugane continent?
thats othard
thats dalmasca
not eorzea
the post-expansion quests were never meant to help you level
since it's expected that you've reaached the level cap at the end of the expansion
Do I have to do them? I want lv 58 so badly D:
once you hit heavensward, they will level you quickly again
until you hit level 60
well his alt class has to be at minimum level 50 to accept the exp reward
so it wouldn't really work for alt classes
rdm and sam start at 50
Mmh I knew it was 30
yeah im trying to push through now to heavensward and the exp is literally like 3-6k each quest
i doubt itll improve
AST, DRK, and MCH start at 30
not everyone has access to those classes
So the elemental armor +1/2 or something is there a difference with the latest upgraded one looks wise ?
Another dumb question that I should already know the answer to, can I use my PS4 service account on my PC
once you get to HW, the exp rewards become much bigger
until you hit post-HW MSQ, which then the exp trickles back down again
Is it time consuming to get the elemental shiny version right now ?
i havent unlocked eureka at all
yes
Oh at the end I bought the 40 eur version of the game... cba buying the 75 eur one for just many mounts and some skin xD
waiting in queue for him
oh then you have access to RDM and SAM
if you want you could use RDM and SAM to accept the exp rewards
yes
Mmh
RDM? Doesn't RDM mean Random Deathmatch
anyway it's still giong to be shit exp no matter how much you slice it
red mage
Oh okay.
all classes have a 3 letter abbreviation
the post-paatch quests are meant to be a slog, since they were released in between expansions
post arr questlines are really the only ones like that
^
They're not "meant" to be a slog. That's just how they end up. They were meant to be done in smaller chunks.
that too
that's what i meant, they were designed to take more time to encourage you to continue subbing the game
No
Snack, please stop.
If you don't know what you are talking
They weren't designed to take a lot of time at all.
Just stop
^
They were released 3-4 months away from each other
And in ARR, back then in 2013/14, they didn't have a good handle on the pacing yet
So the ARR post story will feel a bit drawn out
i kind of figured it was meant to last, especially cause each one introduces a new trial/boss to farm
but anyway they trimmed them so how it is now is how the devs want it to be
is iron works gear at lvl 50 the best until level 60 set or is there better stuff in-between?
Best until lvl 55 story
ironworks is good for 5 levels
Give or take a level
lvl 55 story in HW?
yes
Yeah
okay cool
the same for all poetics gear
im close to that then
I'm told that Level 70 Scaeven gear can last longer for tanks and healers
But I am not sure why
Something to do with stat scaling?
i used scaevan til 80 for my alt healers but you probably shouldnt do that
The
showers you with gears and weapons
With
rewarding accessories if you are in need of them
For sharp turn (triangle mechanic in the puppets’ bunker) if the left blades are glowing, do I go inside the triangle in the middle?
It depends on which way the bosses are facing.
you need to pay attention to the other bosses
because they don't necessarily put their blade the same way as your alliance's
If the glowing sword is inside the triangle, go behind the boss.
If it’s on the edge of the triangle go inside.
They all face the same direction and have the same blade out for the triangle mechanic. That's how it's a triangle.
It's just a question of whether they're going to do an inside or an outside triangle.
Okay, thank you
For a visual example, these swords are pointing inwards so you go behind.
I see. Very much appreciated!
Thought I tried that...
Make sure there's no space between the . and the number

Little question about chocobo-colors: Mine is currently Midnight Blue and I want to change it to Soot Black, a Calculator told me that I need to feed 4 Pineapples for that. I did that as shown here. The last 3 all have the message stating that their new feathers are growing, the first one doesn't. Do I need to feed again for that first one or is it normal that the very first fruit you feed doesn't show that message?
you need to feed the chocobo until you get the message that its growing feathers
chocobo dyeing has rng element in it
so feed it a pineapple until you get the message again
so yeah its normal that the first message might not give you the color change message because it didnt give enough points to push over
honestly though i would not feed an extra one
just wait and see what colour you get because feeding an extra may push you past soot black
Wait the 6 hours first
regardless you should wait
because again, each feed gives different amounts
its entirely possible that the last one gave enough points to hit soot black but if you feed a 5th, you may push over
Whats the best way to get a scripter banned who runs 2 alts right next to my house and they craft 24 hours a day 7 days a week
then trash talks my fc sprouts for being poor
Whats the best way to get SE's attention I guess
because it feels like I never see gm's do anything
Your fc members who were personally affected should report
What's the name of the orchestration roll for the Brayflox Longstop (Hard) final boss fight?
What you feel gms do isn't relevant here
Assuming there's chat logs, they're getting a penalty in some way.
SE does not approve of toxic behavior
So I guess the scripting is a okay
Thanks guys, I'll wait and see what happens then. Either way I won't need too many fruits when I under- or overshoot, so it's not too bad if it goes wrong a second time.
Meh, prolly more a question for the boys at #archived-lore-spoilers.
They might not even be scripting
The 3 accounts haven't moved from that spot in at least 3 months
Hello.
I completed a world transfer last night successfully. I had an inventory gil of over 2 mil thats completely gone. What can i do?
I know this for fact, no matter what time it is
just going to add that going for soot black/snow white is definitely a game of chance
Some people just never log out
Does TB stand for anything tank related?
as its super easy to over shoot it
they are crafting the entire time, one account brings mats to them
Tank buster
Tank Buster
Just because they're logged in doesn't mean they're botting
The orchestrion roll you get from Brayflox (Hard) is called "Fury"
Can also be account sharing which is a different can of worms
Crypt ester only drops from savage ?
currently yes
Yes @solid fog
does thunder 2 replace Thunder 1 with single target also? or does it not really matter?
we're not one to judge if they're botting or not. you can voice your concerns in the support desk.
Ahhhh duh, thank you
No, AoE never replaces ST.
Thunder 2 and 4 is AoE, thunder 1 and 3 is single target
T3 will replace T1, eventually.
@forest bronze no t2 is aoe only
They do not stack btw
ohh okies thank you
I'll check it out but I was just saying that's where the music played, where it plays and where you find it aren't always the same 'cause sometime it plays in other places. :x
That particular boss music doesn't play anywhere else.
It's unique to that fight.

Their main stat is Int
In there
Tldr crit > dh > det
You may want to consider a tiny amount of speed to push down to 2.48s gcd
But yeah, basically everyone prioritizes Crit > DH > Det. SpS and SkS are sometimes in there "to tier" or comfort.
That
someone said there was a quest at lv 43 to get one of the boarskin boots i think it was
anyone know where it is?
its main scenario quest
with the thunder 1 proc that means it’ll do an initial hit of 750 potency??
"Better Late than Never" lvl 43 msq
since the dot potency is 40
Alrighty so last question, if I was to play this game on console with a mouse and keyboarrd would it be the exact same experience like it is on PC or different.
Pretty much the same.
Alright thank you.
prob noob question, are relic weps allowed to be sold on mb
No
Most items with a colored background cannot be bought or sold on the MB.
There are some exceptions, but relics are not among them.
okay, now, im lvl 80, do i need to start with the Relic weapons in order to get to the new ones, or can I just work on the newer ones?
You can just start with the new ones.
All relic weapons are independent of one another.
cuz im in the middle of A Relic Reborn. and i'm way past the min lvl
okay, thank you.
so, as lvl 80 smn, i should focus on the resistance weps, correct?
If you want a level 80 relic weapon, then yes. That is the one to do.
okay, thank you!
so i just installed the No more washed out colors reshade template, but it's a bit too intense for my eyes, is there an easy way to dial back how much it changes (like maybe a % slider or something)?
anything i can do in free trial ot spend money on useful tings?
just hit the 300k cap....
Buy materials from crafting guilds?
Otherwise, you don't really have any good options
Doing beast tribes is a good idea because when you rep to max you spend spend your gil on buying their mount and minions
could go around buying gear progression for my next job
But it takes a while to get to that point
There is one in the reshade menu in-game. It's usually the Home button by default. In the list of shaders there's a list of options for them when you click on a particular one. You can adjust it from there
awesome, thank you
ill probably buy some progression armor for next characters, and then idk by then ill consider buying starter pack for now and try to hold off til endwalker
better than nothing but chances are you wont use those gears ... since job quests, and msq, and dungeons give you better stuff anw ...
how MSQ considering ive done all of ARR and almost to Heavensward? there wont be any left
what is starter pack
how MSQ in what sense?
Starter edition is just the base game and first expansion (and comes with 30 days play time)
isnt first expansion heavensward
Yes
so isnt it pointless to get that if u finish those two in the trial? lol
Yes and no
it lifts restrictions
You have to buy it to buy shadowbringers etc
JUST getting the starter edition would just lift the restrictions but you NEED to buy it anyway to get access to the full game, you can't just buy Shadowbringers to get off the free trial
it does but like isnt it better idea to just get complete editionj
and i could pay 60 for complete edition and then pay another 30-60 when endwalker releases
unless we have a concrete price
Is there a listing of which servers are having fetes atm?
really? on playstation its on sale?
i mean on playstation u can get the complete edition for like 20 bucks from gamestop
still says 60 to me
same here ) :
I want to transfer worlds, any suggestions??? Greatly appreciate it ❤
yeah there is no way im paying $60 and then on top of that a monthly $13

is the game gonna on sale soon?
sales arent usually announced in advance
i think it recently went on sale at half off, right?
game goes on sale quite often
i think it did like a month ago
anyway just keep playing free trial, until you hit the end of HW
and even then there's quite a few things to do
for example you can level all classes to 60, obtain all the primal EX trial mounts
beast tribes, etc
actually
those should take you months, until the next sale comes along
my friend is a gamestop manager so he'll just find a store that ahs it
and ship it to his store for me
yeah true im just sick of not being to form parties and access market board and stuff lol
keep in mind that you can play the free trial indefinitely. once you buy the game, you have to sub
do most people just like keep their sub or do they stop it and wait until a new update comes
well it depends on if you have a house
everyone i know who owns a house keep their sub
I'm not really sure what the most common one is tbh but either is fine

those that don't just sub whenever
why if u have a house?
man i only rent an apartment :/
yea it's fine if you have an apartment
lol jk i know what you meant
keeping your sub is mainly for people who own a plot
do peples houses get demolished if they dont sub
If you don't enter your house for 45 days your house gets demolished
