yes
ohh okay
If you're not on two already
i usually type 'reset' in chat at that part cause it seems a lot get confused there
ty
what does it mean when a pf title is yellow o:
you must have duty complete to join it
or wait
that one means it's hosted by someone on your server i think
i checked other pfs hosted by ppl on my server and theyre still blue tho
(it doesn't matter really, i'm just curious!)
Are there any new Bozjan "open world" areas other than the first one?
iirc its the loot tag
no akira
Not yet
nah the one under it has the loot tag too
kk
Wait does it mean someone accidentally hosted a non-crossworld party?
most likely yes
Yeah
usually you see map parties as that color
so i just finished ARR and was looking forward ishgard restoration later
but i heard it is over? is the event rotating event or is it just fully dead now ?
I think you still need to finish HW to start the restoration

restoration is permanent
The construction itself is over. The activity is still there.
Its not an event
You can restore a nation you haven't liberated yet lol
just means that when you enter the firmament, it'll be fully restorated. just wont see the zone change
that's all you missed
But yeah, the haha EXP go brrr thing should still be there forever
I Ishgard Restored all my crafters to lv 70, and now I don't know how to continue lol
you can youtube the various stages if you really want to see how it built up over time but ye
do it to 80
There will be a new one in 5.55
The mats to Ishre up from 70 to 80 feels too expensive
world hop to find better deals but also can gather them lol
Yeah... I think I should actually go do the regular crafter stuff
collectables then
I never completed the custom deliveries yet lol
I cannot find the entrance to this cave i'm supposed to be in anywhere
which quest Soul
are you looking for bats
Final fantasy has a world festival?
@halcyon radish
You can choose any spot, because each spot spawns 3 bats.
^^ The following spots will each spawn 3 bats: Northmost spot (x:37.7, y: 21.6) and two southmost spots (x: 33.5, y: 35.6) and (x: 25.0, y: 35.5)
Where is minions at am i blind?
under NPCs
Thank you i was going insane lmao
it always says "down" when I hover over the orange circles though...
use the bait there
hmm.. try each of those coords i listed up there ill search a vid
ok i got it to work
It can be in a cave, but it is possible you need to look more down.
The Arrow is quite sensitive.
for some reason I couldn't find any of the little purple smoke clouds you need to be standing directly at to do it
Keeper of the lake
ahh yea the destination markers
also, it's not in a cave.
After all these 8 man trials and 24 raids its weird queuing for a 4 dungeon
Idk I’ll give it a run but I’m queued up for the last crystal tower raid, world of darkness
I was queueing while pushing MSQ so that I’m efficient lol and now I have both this and lake dungeon to proceed
Cid has a locket hanging around his neck, do we know what's inside the locket?
Picture of the enterprise
hey im going to resub soon does anyone know if there are any resub offers or anything like that
nothing currently
there's sometimes free login periods
we had one recently so there probably wont be another one for a while
😦
thanks
ok one more, i played about four years ago and i think i skipped all the story and only got to lvl 56. should i start a new character or is there a better way
hey penguin i got it figured out from yesterday! had a third forgotten email
Ah, that makes more sense. Glad you got it figured out
thanks
also a quick question, since it is truly first time i played this type of mmo (pso2 has simpler combat)
is there no way to disable clicking allies in fight, it is hard to click the enemy properly sometime if there is tons of enemies and it is full party
or just welp, git gud i guess
I'm not sure if it affects clicking, but you can hide other players name for during combat
you go to this set of menus and can adjust from there
As far as I know, you can't. However you can use the enemy list to target certain enemies, or you can use TAB to cycle through the targets
I’m having trouble picking a job. I did MSQ as white mage but I’m not entirely sure I like it.
I think I’d quite like to play DPS or potentially one of the other healer (defo not rank at the Mo) but I can’t settle on one and it’s hard to know if you’ll enjoy a class play style as you can truly experience it until near max. I’m also paranoid I’ll pick a class that will struggle to find a static to do and game 😩 is there a way to know which class are more useful/needed and/or to try them out in some capacity?
...uhhh what UI lmao i am confused
can make that bigger and put it near the center of the screen
UI is your User Interface. When you attack an enemy a list will show on the left hand side of the screen
Is tornado skip the current fastest way of clearing EX byakko?
yes
i know UI, but i dont know which UI is being talked
also ohh
those ones
aight i guess i rely on tab more
For PF rules, does someone press need? Or do we all greed it? (Mane material)
depends on the PF listing itself
what is lootmaster only?
closest thing to trying out classes is to use them in palace of the dead, which lets you "level" them to 60 inside, independently of their outside levels
Lootmaster = Party Leader manually decides if people can roll on an item or give it to specific people
It has a bad rep since the PL can just give things like mounts and materials to themselves.
It’s such a struggle. I’ve tried summoner but I feel like I have too much to track/press? Idk 😬
chocobo racing is only hold R1+L1 until LATHERED appears, then release until it disappears, right?
Maybe I am going old
SMN is one of the more complicataed classes at level 80
what level are you on?
Summoner is definitely a bag of mechanics that can sometimes clash with itself.
This is very true, and lootmaster should be a red flag for most parties.
It's been a while since I've done chocobo racing, but that's the basic gist of it.
I was 71 as summoner, I got the general gist of rotation on dummy but once you start throwing boss@mechs in then it’s tough
SMN rotations change drastically at level 70, and again at level 80
it's not a beginner friendly class
so don't feel bad if you aren't getting it
That's part of the learning curve. You get used to your rotation and then you focus on mechanics
just watch wesk alber video guide
can i customize chocobo for racing?
change stats, or skills/items? I've seen people use stuff at beginning before touching boxes
Fair. I just hope that I pick one and can find groups nicely. I tend to play for the group so try to pick more in demand classes when I play games
your chocobo learns a skill once hit hits ...10 iirc?
it can also inherit skills from its parents
Assuming you’re max level, rule of thumb is to just press your egi assaults if they’re nearing full stacks, keep them if you need them for movement mechanics, and if you have less than 4 stacks of further ruin. Other than that make sure to weave efficiently, read AkhMorning’s guide on the job, it’s beautifully packed without being too convoluted
Can use an item to make your racing bo unlearn the skill its learned and teach it a different one with manuals
you can also give it feed to bump up their stats slightly, but I only recommend using the gil feeds for the early pedigrees if you think it's needed
And for changing their star rankings for each stat that requires breeding
Guys when I press m in game to open map it opens a weird menu
But key is still bind to map

rank or rating?
Sounds like there's two keybinds for the same button. Check your keybinds
rank
@leaden ginkgo I clicked the map with my mouse and now it seems to be working
That was weird
is there a way to make the LEATHERED red word appear no in the bottom,, when I'm running sometimes I keep wasting stamina for some seconds because I dont see the word, because I'm watching the road or the boxes
What are mounts under in market board?
Miscellaneous
They start appearing at 200-300 or 300-400 in the item list
The first one is the Zu Horn
Is there a way to filter it out? Do they all have horn in the name
nope to horn
what's the difference between rank and rating in chocobo races? and how to I make them increase
rank is basically your chocobo's level so to pseak
rating is like how good of a racer they are, sort of
Rank is the pedigree and decides how much their stats grow with level, to an extent
higher rating means bigger pay out for the races
Dhalmel?
Can I enter Bozjan with lv 70?
Dhalmel Whistle
rank and rating increase with winning races?, or is there different stuff to increase each?
need 71 for bozja
no you have to be 71 @ripe hound
kk
Damn on my server they go for 140k
rating increases with races, Rank increases with offspring
;-;
offspring u mean mating chocobo and having childs?
you have to have a rank 40 chocobo in order to retire it and breed it
rank caps at 50
For red mage do I need to be character level 50 and have the lvl 50 msq done?
so you can think of it effectively as your chocob's level
just need a lvl 50 job and own stormblood
Rdm doesnt have msq requirements
Oki
Does the Critical Engagements in Bozjan give normal EXP?
Yed
yeah
ok, rank is lvl , caps at 50, and it gives more attributes the higher it is?
Nice
Always breed racing chocobo's when the bird gets to rank 40, unless it is your final chocobo.
(Breeding doesn't pass stats of the parents, it only passes the base stats.)
If my queue says More than 30 mins... should I wait or try something different?
One last question can u preview items in market or do I need to look them up
yeah basically it raises your 'bos stats as it increases in rank
what are you queueing for @sage mist
Why is triple triad drop rate still shit thought they buffed it ??
With "stats of the parents" u mean Atributes or PEdigree stars?
if its gear, it can be previewed but for things like minions or mounts you'll have to look those up @fading aurora
Minstrel's Ballad: Hades's Elegy
The Crown of the Immaculate (Extreme)
The Dancing Plague (Extreme)
Pretty much SB Extreme's
@twilit arch
Even the barding?
Oh so do PF
Yes
ahhh ok. Thanks 🙂
@wheat plume breeding uses the stars of the parents of both mates to decide the stars for the offspring
even barding, there's no way to preview that
All extremes are via pf
in game
Put up learning parties
AKA the grandparents decide the stars for the kid
the individual stat points don't pass on
is also why its recommended to use the cheaper feed when you're still in the low pedigrees
Rank and rating increase of the same way? Or there are different things to increase each?
ideally only want to use grade 3 feed when you're working on your pedigree 9 bird
ranking is increased by racing, rating is basically the average of your 'bos stats. so in way they sort of increase hand in hand though rating will increase slower if you don't feed/use lower feed
so rank is like lvl and rating is like ilvl
kinda yeah
nice
I've never given food to my chocobo, my Pedigree Level is 1.
Pedigree level affects stars too? or stars are only changed when breeding?
stars will only change with breeding
What's the use of pedigree level?
Are you using speakers or headphones?
Its ok ill just skip the cutscene that did this to me
kind of goes hand in hand with rating. higher pedigree means higher possible rating
Can some help me level? I’m lvl 37 monk
pedigree 9 is the highest, which means the most available amount of stats. that's generally where you would focus on getting the "perfect" bird
what exactly do you need help with
nice, so stats are increased by lvl and by pedigree level
and by stars
Getting to lvl 50
If this happens again, unplug your speakers from their power source for about five minutes, then plug them back in. Or see if you can update or reinstall your audio drivers. It's having a problem with your sound.
Do POtD
Ok thanks
pedigree level basically increases how much stats you can have. so a pedigree 9 bird with 4 stars has a cap of 500
Potd?
lower star/pedigree bird will have a lower stat cap
Palace of the dead
if its your first time playing, you should be focusing on your main scenario quest
^
So story missions until I can’t?
generally msq gives you enough exp to get to max level
but yeah, story + class/job quests should be your main focus
Usually leveling dps alts do palace of the dead
Ok thanks, if I can get to the palace I’ll try that too and finish MSQ

can someone help me find some HW SPOILERS ||hauchefant death memes, like that one pokemon one|| my friend just beat the vault
/micon "Target to Attack 1" enemysign
how often should i be buying gear for my gatherers?
every 5-10 levels?
ty aril
Oh yea, Attack1 works too
hm i'd say when you start feeling the pain without gear
try asking in #archived-lore-spoilers
5-10 though is generally a good idea
@shadow oyster my personal favorite before you ask over there ||https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Kenend5iHE||
I'm going to Eorzean hell.
usually yeah but i would also double check the marketboard, especially at higher levels
there's a chance it might be cheaper than vendor
okedoke
@obsidian patio lore spoilers is an 18+ channel
It's just like that because Discord doesn't have a proper spoiler warnings for channels
so NSFW is used as a substitute
You won't see any actual NSFW
squadrons, do they allow me to do msq dungeons without having to play with humans in the party finder? Or is the feature mostly useless past lv. 60 and it would be a giant waste of time to even bother with it even I could just get msq dungeons done in 20mins with OP human randoms?
How do you unlock triple triad from stormblood NPCs?
MSQ
Thanks
trying to do the miner quest "the hole truth"
the adamantite node just... isnt here
Can also try perusing r/shitpostxiv on reddit
It's an unspoiled node, on a timer.
its not up yet
how often does it appear?
12am/pm ET
well thats stupid
19 mins away
can always buy the ore if you dont want to wait
oh, i assumed you actually had to mine it
imma just buy it then
nah, 1-60 can be bought and turned in
61-80 stuff though has to be mined by you since they're not tradeable items
f
though iirc the sb/shb stuff shouldn't be timed nodes
there are a ton of timed nodes out there, and there's nodes that are hidden behind buying special books
wait no 70 is definitely a timed node
Whats the best way to do extreme dungeons for the first time w/o pissing people off
Make/join learning parties
Create a party in Party Finder
I seared shitpostxiv
yeah i knew that, i just feel that having quests gated behind them is a design flaw
couldn't find any HQ memes
Also check guides for them
for that scene
yeah that's annoying. just buy it off the MB 🙂
Extremes are thr point you REALLY should read the guides
for the most part, the timed nodes aren't too bad since for expac ones, they generally spawn twice in one Eorzean day
worst you may have to wait an hour
Do all dungeons give the same xp? Or are they different the higher level u go
Is 7 DPS 1 tank the optimal way to run byakko EX? Or does it depend on the players’ gears?
its the fastest
dungeons give appropriate exp for the level range they are
so if you're lv 71 doing sastasha you're going to be getting exp that's shit for a lv 71 because its intended to give appropriate exp for 15-18
is summoner weak? at level 69 just looking at the raw numbers it feels so weak
That's all I needed Thanx lol
no, smn isn't weak
Does it have more room for error, or can you just brain dead DPS it while dodging? as in, do we die from normal stack marker AoEs?
we use 1 AST, 1 TANK , 6 DPS for safety. about 1:20 minute per run.
Alot of yhe damage isbin its demis
@soft flicker summon is one of the top dps
i guess im confused, each ability seems to have such low potency
looking at raw numbers doesn't necessarily indicate a job strength, but also as vinyl said a lot of the dmg is on your demi (bahamut and phoenix)
Tanks solo took them when it was current
oh, i don't have those yet
yeah the tank just needs cooldowns for the stack, if that.
before demis, the bulk of your dmg is mostly going to be thru your dots
Summoner is basically a ton of different sources of damage piling up
your pet, your dots, and ruin spam
especially my aoe, it feels so low compared to other classes ive played
so individually you're not hitting super high outside of the demisummon's big hits, but you're doing a good amount overall
looking at just the numbers really doesn't give a good indication of how strong a job is tbh
is there a macro to put waymark for diamond extreme
im just looking at my meters while hitting a dummy and im doing basically exactly 2k dps, which seems really low for level 69
but maybe im wrong
i would also note that SE really doesn't bother trying to balance numbers during leveling
nope, but you can save waymark presets for fights in the waymark menu
so expansion jobs can feel really strong because they kind of are at low levels
gotcha gotcha
2k sounds super low if you're using level 68-69 gear
but if you're in shire gear that's pretty average
im in shire
yeah then that's on par.
guess it just feels low to me then, ok ty ty
like dnc hits like a goddamn truck because 1200 pot aoe is pretty strong, but that doesn't necessarily mean you're going to be doing super big dmg at 80 (though standard/tech step are still strong aoes at 80)
yeah like my aoe is 70 potency, is that not craaazy low?
keep in mind its 70 pot x however many targets
yeah im just comparing it to the other classes ive played
because potency across jobs is not a 1:1 translation
and ^
each job has its own internal calculation for those
!action Equilibrium
When do i get to hear the song "what is like when you pull back the curtain?"
should i be using garuda? im using the fire person
Garuda is for aoe
Equilibrium is 500 potency higher, but assuming both jobs have equal gear they heal roughly the same.
oh i should swap when not on bosses?
Definitely
What dlc i mean
didnt know that, gotcha
Garuda wins at 3+ targets
OH MY GOD YES
swapping pets for SMN is instant cast and free
YESSSS ive been dying to do the fight lmao
so it's easy to do
i just figured there was one "best"
ill try it a bit in a dungeon, ive just been hitting a dummy
Can I forbid my party members from needing on all coffer items? I really don’t want someone stealing stuff then leaving, especially when it’s hard to get players at this time
@twilit arch
Am i close at all?

Ifirit for 1-2, garuda for 3+, titan for burst aoe and survival
ehh
Lootmaster i guess but everyone hates Lootmaster
no. you could try a lootmaster party but those are generally frowned upon
Ok... time to gamble my luck, then
almost half way thru HW, but you'll have to progress thru post HW a bit before you can start doing the side trial series
Heck
you get box with gear when u get jobs to lvl 80? like it happened in 50,70?
Thanks for info
you can buy a set of gear once you finish shadowbringers/role quests similar to those of the job quests
Gotten from Grendolt in the tempest
I'm not there yet, but what's the name of RDM lvl 80 gear?
they transitioned away from job quests in shadowbringers, into role quests instead so there's just a different means of getting it
Weathered Estoqueur's
thxs
As stupid as it sounds, I just have to ask it for the sake of not messing up.
If I bring all materials to a crafter, do they craft the item for free? Or is it a new concept in this community?
people busy with content or different time of day who knows
they can. it's upto them whether they want to ask for donation or not, best talk with them prior
this is going to depend on the crafter
you should talk to them first, but for me personally i'd make it free of charge
if all mats are provided yeah there's usually no charge from my experience but crafter dependent
ok, ty
some people will ask for a fee, some will ask only for like the cost in crystals
Hair cut guy, forget his name but it starts with a J
Ooofff man this has been a fun night
it would be in the facial features option assuming that race/face even has facial hair as a option
Those raids and trials were awesome
Think Male Highlander is the only one that gets a beard and I think it's only for certain faces which kinda sucks
midlanders do have a face that has a beard option, its the older face
thats the class i am
but yeah the facial hair is fairly lacking for most races
the facial hair each face gets is different
mhm
Hi all, I know how to assign skills to hotbar but I can't figure out how to add skills to the cross tabs - the option to edit isnt appearing? What am I missing? Thx
Ooh maybe that's a different hot bar?
Is there any price difference in buying Zodiac weapon materials directly from the marketboard compared to getting someone to craft them for me? Sorry im very new to this
so im kinda new at this game, i love gunblades so i started off as a gladiator. just reached level 30 and idk if i really like the tank role. is Gunbreaker the only class that uses uses the gunblade?
No difference other than price.
Yes
Yes. Only gunbreakers use gunblade. Gunbreakers start at lvl 60 so you can level any job to 60 to unlock it then try it out.
And its still a tank
Would you know roughly how big the price difference is or does it depend on too many things?
people have been very helpful in game i just dont if i really like the tank role. i hear gunbreaker is a tank but plays like DPS. i think id like that a bit more. thank you for answering my question
its kind of hard to say. but its possible that asking someone to craft it for you may be cheaper as they may ask for a smaller fee than what the mb is selling for, or if you bring the mats to them they may make it for free

It really depends on your server yea.
Thank you to both :) Ill probably gather the mats i can get and pay for the rest then, gonna get that first zodiac
you obtain scrips by getting collectibles correct?
Yes
just brought up the minigame for the scrips, looks like im gonna have to watch a tutorial on this. ty
!faq dolcollect @junior fog
thanks
i dont get it i cant play triple triad fairly
all these NPC cards are too high of numbers
The npcs don't follow the same card limit restrictions so that they can be harder
Part of the difficulty. You have to make decks and wait for rule sets to change to get an advantage
Means making good card decks
And being smart about your placements/using rules to your advantage
The trick in Triple Triad is to play defensive, if you do that you have more chance to win. Never try to capture cards from opponent in the first 2-3 turns, unless you are forced to do so.
@fading helm 
It's one of those things that takes a lot of trial and error really. You'll lose a lot, but you get better at it
Hey guys! I'm hoping someone can help me with this. I have to complete the Crystal Tower raids for my MSQ, I've tried party finder and duty finder but it's only me in the que waiting for hours (I'm level 60 tank/warrior).
I've read that I should try queing in peak times but i don't know when peak times are for Hades server. Does anyone know? Or does anyone have any suggestions on how to get a party together for these raids? Thanks so much! :)
peak times are evening
make sure you have JP enabled in launguages
in the duty finder settings
Its stat capped
Is it trying to tell me its at its max potential?
Ohhh ok ye
Thats what i thought
Thank you :>
You can see it behind that window
Japanese time evening? I'm in australia
At the bottom of the meld window
@broken star both
Okay thank you I'll try, I have JP enabled in party finder but not sure about duty finder so I'll check. Cheers!
@broken star
If you are Australia, i suggest to home transfer to Tonberry on the Elemental DC that is the unofficial AU server.
Oh really? I didn't know that, do you have to pay real money to transfer?
Yes unfortunately
Yes, $18 for one transfer.
Kujata is the 2nd server with AU players, but less then Tonberry.
Tonberry is always full anyway
It is not Congested now.
Okay that's good to know thank you, I'll comsider it but I'm gonna save that as a last resort lol
!status Tonberry
On hades server the longest wait time I've ever had to log on was 10mins after the patch update, but it's usually only a few seconds
Would check ping to the server first before swapping, sometimes you can get better ping to NA servers than JP
wow. First time its not congested in months.
Can any fish be desynthed or is there only certain fish?
Does congested mean i wouldn't be able to enter?
@broken star
As most say Tonberry is often considered congested and Kujata too, so better to transfer to Tonberry asap.
Congested means that it both locked to world transfer and character creation
Hmm okay...
that said since tonberry is the main EN server for JP servers, its often temporarily locked to character creation
Every fish can be desynthed but not all of them desynth into nice items. Its almost always sand.
The last time Tonberry was locked was 5.3. Since then it hasn't been congested
@whole wasp Okay gotcha, so should I keep every fish from fishing until I level up crafting to get desynth?
Currently level 40 fishing and I keep reaching max inventory, no idea which fish are okay to sell and which to keep.
I believe you replied to the wrong person
honestly, no its not really worth it
even then you can just fish up higher level fish and desynth that to level it
Guys I was doing msq and all of a sudden I got some healer gear out of nowhere?
So say if i was to transfer to Tonberry, would I frequently not be able to enter because the world is full? Or is it more like once you transfer over its okay?
Any idea how
Hi everyone. Im trying to purchase an outfit on the site but I cannot because my country (Canada) doesn’t have an option
most fish are really not worth much
Whoops fixed it now thanks!
Correct
@broken star there'd likely be a small login queue
but you would be able to log in just fine
It asks for state in the US
Okay thanks! So just to be safe, should I just sell any fish that isn't green rarity/have sparkles in the picture? (Lol sorry idk any terms just yet)
pretty much
i honestly wouldn't hold onto any low level fish
since most of the useful ones right now are high lvl ones
Anyone from Canada that tried to buy anything from the shop?
But you can also try an NA server, sometimes that is better then Elemental DC to JP. There are even AU players in the EU DC.
But Elemental DC (Tonberry) is your best bet in the first place.
excluding ocean fishing, what else are the best ways to grind fishing?
leves
especially since they function similar to crafting leves, where you just turn in the item requested
i consistently forget leves exist
@junior wind any chance you can help Colish?
Okay, that's good to know, I think I'll try a little longer to get a raid party together cause I'm not sure if my duty finder settings are set to JP, but if that doesn't work I'll do the home transfer. Might be better in the long run anyway hey...
I bought shadowbringers from the US shop and used a fake address. Not sure if its the same for mogstation.
@rich bay @twilit arch. Thanls for your help! :)
actually..why am i pinging flie.. @little swift you've bought something from mogstation store no?
Yeah, Tonberry is also great because of timezones!
(And because there are a lot of people there that speak English!)
No problem!
It would be nice not to have to fiddle with the auto translate haha :)
Hi, I'm new to FFXIV but It seems to be pretty interesting to me. I was wondering how much of a time investment this game is.
I need help
@broken star
I heard more then 50% of the talk on Tonberry (and around 30% on Kujata) is English. So much English some JP players want to "delete" it! 😂
Anyway, glad to help.
Same lol
as much as you want. its not a race. the only thing is that its a monthly sub so that might influence how much time you spend on the game to get your subtime worth.
With what do you need help?
I personally got my fsh to lv 80 with 99% job quests and leves only when pushing from X0 to X1 to start next expansion Job quests
Pop the manual and hook those HQ fish
Well until they give us an Australian server they can't complain haha
HQ fish gives ridiculous xp
Im trying to make a purchase on the store but it asks for U.S state but I live in Canada. I guess they don’t include Canada to the North American section?
Is fishing fun ?
you won't know until you try
You mean the Square Enix Store itself?
Yes. Theres no actual in game shop right . Well the outfit shop site for the game
Its called "The Online Store"
i think its mogstation
For console?
Its mogstation but under "optional items" tab
You have to do it on PC
On PS4 its possible but its really annoying to navigate
Best to use Paypal then, if i recall correctly, it doesn't ask for an adress that way.
You can't use paypal thru mogstation
You can use paypal for Crysta but not directly use paypal
True. I meant buy crysta with paypal and use that.
The US FF14 online store checks CC data if it is an US native one, if it is not, it refuses the payment.
Paypal > Crysta will work afaik.
yah and
Ok mog station just leads me back to the online store
You're trying to buy an outfit right?
Right.
then the online store is where you buy them
I literally have the item in my bag but before that I need to enter name, postal, State*
USA state but im not in the states
Like how do you not include Canada in the information entry
@mild wind
Add Crysta to your account via Paypal and then buy the item with Crysta. I think that is the only thing you can do. (1 Crysta is $0.01)
As far i can tell, the site doesn't ask for an adress if you add Crysta via PaysafeCard or Paypal.
(You can add Crysta via your global account settings in Mogstation.)
Anyone have any recommendations for good VPN services to use with XIV?
I kinda hate it that the NA store thinks NA is only the US for credit cards.
Im trying to figure out where to go on mog
Yes
wait this is the wrong channel
congrats regardless
from the mogstation login page
what do you use ocean fish for if anything?
Leveling up fisher
leveling fisher, achievements, and if you have good rng, scrip farming
also just to relax lol
no like the fish themselves
Desynth or sell to vendors
Is it because my account type is free trial?
And aquarium if you get ones that can go in there
Im playing the ps5 beta
i dont think it should, cuz i know i used crysta to upgrade my free trial to full
I cant even email or get support either
To send a simple ticket why do I need an address?
Other games don’t ask you that
You can put in a fake address
Just write it down somewhere if they ever ask for it
Only works on account creation, when you made the account, you can't change the country anymore.
What can work, is adding crysta via the Square Enix store itself.
So not on the FF14 online store, but the store where you buy FF14 itself.

Ill do that now
@mild wind
This how you can add crysta via your account itself.
I just realized
When I get to heavensward I won’t be able to fly anymore right
Or is it permanently unlocked for all regions
Not right away, no
you'll have to earn flying in the heavensward zones, yeah
It's per zone, and you don't have flying for those zones yet
its a by zone basis for expansion
hi guys, quick question about gathering. So im checking out custom deliveries and lookin for a way to get white scrips. Is it only possible to farm em once you reach lvl 80 ?
Yes
Do need to finish the story again like in ARR?
White scripts basically replace experience at 80
Flying is unlocked differently in expansions
sort of. with expansion zones there are 5 quest currents (the last one is generally going to be msq) and 10 open world curents
you need to gather them all
you can see how many currents you've collected in the travel > aether current menu
It still asks for State
sounds good! thank you for your advice
@rich bay im not comfortable adding a fake address and zip tbh if that’s what I have to do
Don't know it anymore then, maybe other ppl have an idea?
Is there a contact support email
Thanks for helping but i tried that already. Even sending a ticket needs an American address and zip
Is this for the online store for in-game items?
https://pep-sqex-us.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new You could try this
Lol the graphics looks great on ps5 but I cant buy anything because im stuck in North America and they didn’t think to add Canada.
are you certain that its only for american address because some of the state/region choices are very clearly canadian ones
these are all canadian province abbreviations
Where do you get there. Im only seeing Alaska to Wyominh
they're literally at the bottom of the list for me
Not for me @twilit arch
try a different browser?
where is the armor vendor that sells it by level tier?
like they have 10-19, 20-29, 30-39, etc.
Market district of all three major cities.
Can a full cryptlurker WHM solo byakko ex? PF is dead
what to do with augmented exarchic gear that you don't use anymore? desynth or npc?
Retainer
Same thing with a different browser. Am i at the right location?
not the same class tho
hm dunno what to tell ya unless @little swift can offer something different since afaik shouldnt have issue with canada addresses
@twilit arch this is just sad but let me know if you get that person to dm me. I appreciate everyone’s help.
@mild wind im canadian and my addresss is set to canada
I see aether currents has 3 slots... with 6 missing locations does that mean every dlc has 6 locations?
When you create an account it only asks for region which is North America. I never got that option
well all im saying is that there's definitely a way. just gotta find it. not gonna lie, creating an account for this game is quite difficult. keep working on it you'll figure it out
It's been a while so i can't recall the exact steps or i'd tell you for sure
I already have an account but I just want to make a purchase without it asking for American address and state
you can always contact support and ask what to do
No I can’t do that either because they also ask you for American address and state
just type a random address
the drop down menu i showed with canadian provs was from the support request form
so not sure why you're having this issue tbh
Is the jet dragon for collecting all gwibs
yes
This is really niche question, but in O11S when program loop 1 starts, does that count as a end of combat section and can BLU learn a spell during then?
Hi! Can anyone point me towards any gardening and chocobo stabling resources?
Very new to this
Hmm mainly what to do and what sort of stuff to feed
that is the best resource for dyeing your bo ^
but for training, it doesn't really matter too much. you can use krakka roots but they might be expesnive
Thanks!
if you have the vath unlocked, you can buy feed from them
Ah I see thabks! Yes I do have vath
Does anyone know how to find PlayOnline ID?
do i have to augment each gear to use glamour on it?
or when i just want to change the glamour?
PlayOnline ID is for 11, not connected to 14
I cant progress with my ticket without it

you're on the wrong ticket site if you see that
Nvm
augmenting an item doesn't affect its ability to be glamoured on

Whats the correct one
No
The combat ends when the boss is dead
The SQUARE ENIX Support Center is a centralized support site that provides product information and solutions to the frequently asked questions and issues with our products and services.
Aight, so BLU wouldn't be able to learn a spell during that small intermission?
what gonna happen to me if i can't login before maintiance and i'm in a major city?
nothing?
you'll probably just have to wait until main is over for that area
Literally the same spot
it says they'll be "unavalible"
before you can log in
will i get just get moved out if i'm in it while logged out
no
kk i'm prob overthinking it its whatevs
is there a maint tonight?
for specific areas
ah
basically the starting cites and housing areas
did they state a reason?
lodestone post doesn't say
kk
Are the beast tribe side quests worth doing?
theyre mostly for exp
There's some cool cosmetics from them
I was curious about alt jobs. If let’s say I switch to archer could I still do quests I’m currently doing or will I have to level it first
you have to be the appropriate level to turn in
you need to meet the minimum level to take quests
Anyone have any advice for targetting? I'm fairly new (just started this week) and am having difficulty clicking enemies in dungeons when everyone's names are overlapping.
F1 to F4 for party and tab for enemies (iirc)
hey guys, i just started astrologer what circumstances would you use undraw?
thought so, thank you
Thanks! I'll give it a try.
should be able to
Hey I was wondering if I should buy the dlc now since I haven’t completed the game yet or if I should wait till I finish the story
that's up to you, though should note that the next expansion is going to be releasing in fall so if you can wait til then you'd save a bit of money
Are you still on ARR?
Yeah
If you’re on trial, waiting is the obvious choice imo
ARR will last you a long time, personally I took a couple breaks throughout it
I’m on PlayStation so I don’t have a trial I just bought the game
@twilit arch it happens that my region/country says America which i was positive I selected Canada
During the first time I created my account
🤷♀️ mistakes happen
It must have chosen America by default
@twilit arch how do I change it
Afaik SE support can't change an account's region
Ps4 has a trial what do you mean.
It does!? I had no clue😅
think ps4 shows it as "demo"
hm no ps4 should also have the demo
If that’s true I couldn’t find it
It's kind of hidden awkwardly but it's there
Hello again, i'm a relatively new player (level 60 tank/warrior) and I was wondering how important it is when pulling a boss not to 'spin' them? Like if I have to run to the side to dodge a boss AOE should I then run back to my original position? I just don't wanna piss off any DPS because I've read that they need to be in a certain position to the target in order to cast spells and stuff i think
There's no reason to be spinning the boss unnecessarily. if you're dodging aoes, then that's fine
but basically running around the boss so its constantly spinning is a huge no no
I know it's like they're so vehement on hiding the demo that players can't find it.
Basically be mindful of where you are positioning the boss' butt so its not sitting in aoes, which can hurt melee as they have positionals to do
after i dodge aoes i tend to go back to my position
Okay thanks guys, good to know!
Where is the red mage guild located?
there isn't one, but it's unofficially located in mor dhona after you finish the job quests iirc
There's no real guild, but the job starts in uldah if that's what you mean
Where do I pick up the quest to become it?
Uldah
free trial player here, i'm leveling a few classes to 60 so i can b ready for my sub. i've picked up astro and i have to say i'm not really feeling the heal role, should i stick it out till 60 or just focus elsewhere?
On one hand, most classes play very differently pre 50 so you're not seeing the full picture
On the other, healing might just not be for you.
this is true, i think i'm just gonna grind through it honestly
if you dont want to play it then dont play it

@shut panther where in uldah, does it say red mage on the map like the others or something different
its just a bluequest in the markets
quest is "taking the red"
Steps of thal, it’s on the right side of the map
Oh it only shows on the map where the quest is if you are on that area of the map
Thanx guys
I found it
does flare use all your remaining mana or 10k? im a bit confused i see it after 2 fire 2 casts and you wouldn’t have 10k mana then
all remaining
okies thanks :P
a 400 potency attack with a 75 potency 60 second bleed DoT is better than a 600 potency attack right
nightbloom is great for bosses, both ends is better for fates
but in most cases nightbloom is better yeah
are people in ffxiv friendly unless wow is brought up?
People getting pissy about wow being brought up is a meme
What you may want to note is flare (and later its single target cousin despair) require a minimum of 800MP
I mean some people will get like that but that goes for just about anything that people feel strongly about
It's not a guarantee just because it's wow
I think ive played this game to much i went to my next destination without even looking where to go anyone ever did that?
Is Diamond EX harder than the previous EX in the weapon series?
It's subjective, but I think it's easier than Emerald
kk
I didn't bother with Ruby so I'm not sure there
ohh okies so both expend all mana but minimum requirement to cast is 800?
Correct
nicee the rotations down nice for me now and the main issue will be positioning my self during fights and stuff now xd
It's not important with flare, but it's something to keep in mind with despair
noice thanks for the info! :P
Yes but you shouldn't use it again untill you need to refresh the dot
^
What gear is Eden Normal again? 510?
DoT is a tick every 3 seconds so the math there is uh
400 + 75 x 20 which is a lot. Not really sure what skills you're comparing, assumed you were looking at samurai iaijutsus but your potencies are wrong @fallen niche
That would be it yes
kk
I'm trying to equip a saw so I can start doing crafting again, but I can't equip the main hand item. This ones lvl is like 19 but I'm that high in carpentry. I don't know how to equip my saw. Anyone know how to fix this?
Do the characters you converse with ever end up getting voiceovers?
I don't know what that means
Like if i'm playing the main story I get cutscenes
Oh... you're asking another question not answering mine. I'm sorry.
Are you sure your crp is level 19?
Right click the saw and “equip”, it’s in inventory not armour chest

I bought the lowest lvl saw and I couldn't do it
He has it
Nothing on this screen implies that so I'm asking
You can just make gearsets and rename them
What lvl is the lowest lvl saw you have?
Buy a lvl 1 saw
Buy a lvl 1 saw from the venders
I bought a lvl 1 saw and it worked thanks
I thought I was higher lvl then I was
Thanks
Np
Was comparing BLU skills, Nightbloom and Both Ends
Also couldn't you get aetheryte tickets with centurio seals
I ain't seeing them
But I might be crazy or blind
Main characters do, as in the characters that show up during the MSQ. NPC's outside of that don't. If they were, we'd probably get something akin to Skyrim with one or two people voicing the same npcs
You get them with allied seals I believe
As long as they didn't touch them
Yeah you can get them with both
Oh ok fair enough
Yes, there are more and more voiced cutscenes the farther you get into the game. Voices are pretty sparse up until lv 50.
I'm still in arr but.. Maybe do 6 runs in levelling roulette with the appropriate class.. I get almost 10k as bonus gil
I already did my roulette daily
"on Limsa Lominsa Upper Decks, Old Gridania, Ul'dah - Steps of Thal, and areas inside houses on all Worlds. During this period, affected areas will be unavailable. Please move to a different area, or log out before the maintenance begins."
Does this count housing areas like Shirogane?
Many of the entries in the Challenge Log give gil as reward
Adventurer in need is repeatable, just gotta be the appropriate class
including the ones like "do 5 challenges"
How do I unlock challenge log
it's in Limsa in the bar
Rising to the Challenge
Challenge log resets with the weekly reset, which is in about 2 hours
It's saying the inside of houses, so yes
I'm just talking about the outside, not actually inside of a house, but the housing area
Alright, thanks
Might as well ask, but are apartments also affected?
or just houses
I think you're just gonna have to wait to find out tbh
Okay, thanks 🙂
No one technically knows more than you do just from reading the notice since we don't even know what they're messing with
When is maintenance?
Roulette bonus is once per day
adventurer in need bonus is not the daily bonus
Adventurer in need is repeated, but not worth caring about beyond the first roulette
but like ropter said, AiN is generally not worth it
The exp bonus is a drop in the bucket and the seals will be crushed by simply doing a high level dungeon
I guess it might technically be worthwhile for the Gil?
The guy before needed fast 60k gil
Oh, I didn't know the full context. Fair enough.
If you have a levelled up crafter, crystarium levees are very easy vast piles of Gil.
is that in ishgard?
Crystarium
oh a new city

Hey all! I was told that turning off "display error messages when actions fail" will turn off the sound as well but it doesn't seem to work
IE: invalid target
Is there a different setting?
Character Configuration - Log filter settings - Log Filters - Announcements - uncheck error messages. Is that what you did?
Yes, that's right! 🙂
Will it only work if I am in combat?
ah okay. It works if I am in combat or have a target
/actionerror off - see if that works
Yeah, same thing. Still hear that sound if I am out of combat or do not have a target
will everyone be logged out for this upcoming maintenance or only those in the affected areas
the affected areas will be unavailable
I may have an idea on how to make this work. Once I get out of this alliance raid I'll let you know
ooo ok thanks
Does Ishgard have its own inn rooms?
At the forgotten knight
Huh, wonder why I never noticed?
Hi, I had some questions
Hello Everyone, I heard that ffxiv is one of the best MMOs currently and I had some questions regarding the pricing and regions.
I am from India and I saw this game on steam. I wanted to :- where to buy it (steam or square enix store) and how to pay for it monthly.
On fall 2022, I might possibly move to Canada, and I heard that India is PAL region square enix. So I wanted to know if I have to buy ffxiv again for the NA region or what exactly happens.
How is the combat in the game exactly ? Like Is it similar to ffxv and ffvii remake or is it different. If so, can someone explain ?
How friendly is the community. I am currently on a discord break (just here to get some questions solved) till June so I dunno how helpful the community is. So I hope the community here is helpful.
Should one buy the starter pack first and then buy the expansions later or do people buy the complete edition all at once.
This game is a huge investment for me and the game seems interesting I just hope it keeps me hooked for a long time
Ah okay! Thank you! :)
As for the "keep you interested for a long time part", here's a hint on how that goes for most people 🙂
lol, yeah that's good to know
I just am worried because the total cost comes around 3600 rupees + 971 rupees monthly (entry) or 1120 rupees /month (standard)
you could watch some videos to see what the combat is like
it's closer to WoW than other ff games
I see, based on what I have seen, it seems like there are multiple tabs below the screen and you press the hotkey and use those skills right ?
Excuse me, I'm about to order(buy) the game with master card now, but I never buy anything online before, and I live in Thailand(steam banned) and there is no Thailand in country option in ordering what should I do, or should I contact square-enix support directly?
It's generally not hard to complete the Bahamut raids now casually right? If I need help just PF for a few more people?
@junior condor you could try buying from square enix directly, not steam?
Are there any particular long cutscenes in the bahamut raids?
All of them
:D
D:
I guess I can just try solo it... and if that fails, PF and ask people to leave after completing so I watch cutscenes slowly by myself
I guess that could work
Yes I'm going to do that my country are not on list, should I contact them?
whats with the maintenance
From Apr. 20 7:00 to 7:30 (GMT) / 8:00 to 8:30 (BST) (its 8:36) here in the netherlands, meaning it would be starting now?
@ripe hound in total binding coils has about 1.5 hours of cutscenes
do i just not go to limsa for this or will we be signed out
kk
Is Binding coils in New Game + now?
Anyway, I'm worried that the Coils will be harder to solo once 6.0 hits... since the stat nerf
@light lintel it said only the affected areas will be unavailable
I'm contacting them thanks for answer!
is this a good score ?
hello
for the HW relic light grind
what is a DF friendly duties i can spam?
That's more than enough lol
I see, it's surprising that it was lagging so much even with an rtx 2060 graphics card
mmos are cpu heavy
....
not gpu
I have an i7 10th gen processor
My gf has a 2060 and gets about 10k i think
I run it with a rtx 2070 super and it doesn't lag lol
those are fine

I am contacting the repairman to see if I have a fan issue
FFXIV is deceptively CPU heavy
I use 2070 super too, 1440p and 120FPS without an issue
or a thermal paste issue
You may have a 10th gen i7 but if it's a mobile or desktop chip also makes a difference
whats your temps Jay?
yeah, it's a laptop cpu
I am using a laptop
oh laptop
yeah that would do it
Oh laptop yeah
big change there.
Does anyone know which is the cutscene where the Argrius gets blown up by Midgardsormr? I cant seem to find it
errr
one second
its early in ARR
like after you get introduced to the garleans i think
I just dunno what to purchase and how much is the size of the free trial
if youre going from free trial to buying the game then just get the complete
^
That laptop i7 can't be worse than my i5 3470 right? I dont lag even in 24 man raid
your resolution and graphics settings matter too
I think I'll just wait until tomorrow when more people in #archived-lore-spoilers are up in the morning. I thought about getting it off of YouTube but I can be patient.
i have an i7 9th gen RTX2060 at 1440p and get around 60 fps with dips in more populated areas
Am I the only one who thinks that the Cutscene book could use a bit of a rework/redesign?
Unfortunately, it doesn't look like it's possible to disable it. I checked around in some of the files and it doesn't look like there's an option to disable it from there. Sorry I couldn't help.
