I recommend a junkmonger for dyes, material supplier for materials and a maidservant/butler for housing items. Maybe a mender.
Thank you!
Thank you! I'll take a look at those, you sadly don't have any preview ingame.
I got sick of always having to check what all the NPCs look like before picking one, so I took pictures of all of them so that I (and other people, I guess) will never have to check again!

Oh WOW, perfect! Thanks again!
that was quick
Does kupobot update market info at specific times or intervals? It's very far off for something I'm looking for at the moment - just wondering if there's a specific time I should check again
It updates when someone with the xlauncher plugin checks the price ingame
ahh thanks
Uhh.. i wonder why i cannot find any parties for satasha using duty finder..
It takes time especially as a dps
so 1 hour is normal?
not really
are you on a server which main language is different from yours
because then yeah
you need to allow other languages in df
Just checking, what time is it over there?
when this 'road to 70' thing gonna expire?
weird question but would anyone be willing to wish me an outfit and i pay u back twice the price
90 days after character creation or when the server stops being preferred, which ever happens last
90days minimum
since im country locked
Longer if server stays preferred
Whatever you want, they have no relation
hmm ic
server time is GMT
i just left my room after that MSQ how do i get back, in gridania
its 11pm in JP
that said tho, 1hr for sastasha really isnt that normal even super late at night. usually the DF language settings is the problem, esp on a JP server
i see..
Question; my wife and I both okay on Aether. I'm on Adamatoise, she is on Cactuar. We are wondering if she can transfer our "home world" to either hers, or mine. Is this possible? Is it free, or cost money? Are there limitations to what gets transferred?
Does everything transfer? Items, gil, etc?
your blacklist gets cleared out, for whatever reason
Okay. Thank you. Much obliged. šš
Lol
š
Now Iām trying to decide if I cna handle the MP and Blood balancing on DRK on top of normal tank stuff lol
Hmm
I really like DRK in general. FF4 was my first ever FF game
Also why I started with DRG lol
I mean you go from spending all your mp and gauge
to spending MOST your mp and gauge
as long as you have 3k in the bank when tbn's off and you're good to eat literally every tank buster in normal game content
So Iāve been trying to figure out how to socket materia. Do I need to go to a specific place to do it?
its like this right?
Noooo
Turn off undersized party
Thats the "enter solo" option
Basically turn off everything except the languages at thr bottom
And like Join in progress i guess
Materia melding requires a sidequest completion to do yourself. You can go to a materia melder in a town to get an NPC to meld materia in materia slots but for overmelding you HAVE to get someone else to do that by rightclicking them and "request meld" or do it yourself which, again, sidequest locked
Is Ala Mhigo not in roulette or something? Even for morning "work hours", 30 minutes in queue as a tank seems a little much
Its in 50/60/70
it is a bit much, but I've had some pretty long queues recently as tank, esp when I was doing last SB dungeons - but 30 does sound too long
even when not high time
Ah okay--
do all tanks use the same armor type? like all healers use the same armor type?
Any bard main that play on controller can send me their hotbar plz
how about dps? do all dps use the same, or it's split between ranged and melee?
and magic
No
its split for dps
Monks and samurai share, sharing accessories with dragoon
No
dragoon currently is the only that uses maiming gear, ninja scouting. monk/sam share with striking
Ninja is their own, sharing with ranfed accessories
Maiming
casters share, physical ranged share
Ranged dos share
oh wow that sounds complex for dps
dragoon doesn't have its own accessories
it shares them with monk and sam, as vinyl said
Maiming casting scouting striking aiming
melee is just split between striking and maiming, but the rest are each role has one type
you're forgetting ninja with that idris
lol
No clue
Because
Well, at least with 6.0 Dragoon won't be the sole maiming job anymore
that's true
True
But I imagine it's mostly because of what primary stat they use
... what about scouting
Ninja uses light armour, dragoon uses heavy
They had sort of originally thought of dragoon as like a suedo off tank, so its gear design is often either same look as tank or similar ish
oh yeah then ic ic
And different primary stats
ninja is different because its main stat is not str, but rather dex
Samurai/monk is light armour but use strength
Drg share a lot of gear with tank aesthetic wise
More medium armor
That's basically light
Hey, i have a big problem and i need help š Last main story quest i did was "the least among us", after that should come "a time to every purpose" but for that you need to do the crystal tower series quests. I did all 10 of them, (i have a picture if needed), but the npc doesnt have a quest to give to me? My bf had the red mark that its unavailable, but for me she doesnt even have that, theres nothing (im lvl54 if that info matters). And im confused what to do
Heavy, light and cloth
Among us
what's the last quest you did for the crystal tower series?
can i send a pic here?
yes
You need to do the whole chain to A Light of hope
and what's your main scenario quest tracker show?
Done hard mode primals as well?
i talked to the blonde woman (forgot her name).. i did the least among us, then she stopped having any signs of quests to give, like theres nothing
ah i need to log in to the game, sec
There's a split in the MSQ several quests before that. Then it comes back together for A Time to Every Purpose, requiring both splits of MSQ to be done
You need to do that then. Clicking it should direct you where to go
Clicking on it showd the location
okay that was so confusing because with google all i got was "do crystal tower" lol, but thanks ill head there now

You'll also need hard mode primals soon as well
okay looks like i just speed ran the main quests too fast and missed that one lol, but cheers problem solved
sorry for asking a lot again
This is a question channel. Don't be sorry.
awww thanks
if you can log in square enix games website and it say "You are subscribed to marketing communication from Square Enix."
please wait a moment I'm just kind of need to translate in my brain
is that mean I'm not on free trial anymoree on ffxiv
what is the blue face next to the health bar for enemies
because I try to enter register code and got Error Code: i2501
and I contact them in chat
and they send me that I'm subscribed to marketing communication from Square Enix.
but my ffxiv account is still free trial
I
I'm confused
That just means they can send you emails to advertise stuff like "New Game is released. Check it out!" It shouldn't have anything to do with the trial.
There's a checkbox when you create an account that says something like "YES - I would like to receive communications regarding upcoming products" or whatever.
That's what that's about.
These?
I understand now
oh i thought it was a pack link or something. I attacked one passive and two more started going too
For packs when you mouse over the mob (or target it I think) you'll see little yellow links moving between them to show that they are connected.
yeah a pulsing line ok
when i goto my āHUD layoutā i canāt changed if the hot bar is invisble if itās in use and other options and such xd
you can right click on the hud element to disable it
no i mean like if the slot doesnt have anything slotted the slot is invisble
That's a setting in character config in the hotbar section
ohh thank you <3
Oh, there are different icons, gee. What is the difference between those six aggressive level icons?
They just denote difficulty of the mob
Is it plainly a "this one is 4 levels higher than you" thing?
They were meant to give you information on mobs at the same level
So a more nuanced indicator of difficulty than just going by lvl
But yeah... nobody cares about them
Just know if its wayyyyy over your level don't get near it
Neat, I see. Alright.
Unrelated, with the new Triple Triad changes.. am I correct in thinking that the only change is that instead of four 3* and one 5*, we can now have four 3*, one 4* and one 5*?
I'm trying to help a friend make a trial account and got error code i2501. Does anyone know why we got it or how to fix it? Square's FAQ isn't helpful since it's saying it's a potential problem with payment info, but we haven't even gotten the account email verified yet, let alone given an option to enter payment info
hey ,this years moonfire will be in august too ?
iirc three 3* and either one 4* and one 5* or two 4*
Well, its an improvement anyway.
should be yes
alright , thanks
Say I complete e9s and e10s and then raid with my static again
Will they be getting 1 chest in e9 even though Iāve done e10?
nevermind, I did it from mobile and it worked
My brain hurts
Hey Im doing Bojza, and I am at 300/300 for my rank up but talking to the commader does nothing
Do i need to do all the side quest first or something?
I just read the beginner tank and healer guides on that saltedxiv link
It does require some side quests, yes. I don't remember how far exactly
That healer guide is so in-depth. So many numbers. And variables to consider.
It's easier in practice ^^
Probably
Do all your
at all times
What's the best sink for Allegory right now?
Wasted, since Bozjan gear exists.
That'll depend on your server
Spirit extract, I'd imagine. Or alt gear -> GC seals.
Belts + accessories

what are the hairs called that drop in delubrum?
Early To Rise
The bozjans were ahead of their time: no belts
Yes you'll only get 1 chest in 9 and 10s
Yes
Where can I read recaps of beast tribe stories? I've completely forgotten why the anantas are doing their thing.
Last chests
ah good to know š

Anybody know a place where I can stay on top of property that goes up for sale in game? My FC has been saving up for a place for months.
For the jet dragon are all trial trivial now? Can u brute force them
what do you mean, like as in they reduced the difficulty of the trials?
Yeah like just dps and skip mechanics and kill them in 5-10min
Diamond says hi
Do you ever actually get to have a chocobo as mount or is it just a porting system
i think the only thing they did was increase the drop rates of mounts, mats. maybe vinyl tails knows more
You get q chocobo later
You do when you unlock the mount system
Yeah I imagine it is. The way he wrote the guide is like he wants you to be aware of āefficiency, no waste, at all times, if you arenāt casting youāre a wasteā and itās just a bit much lol
!faq abc
I imagine itās written more toward the end game raids and harder runs of things where that can make/break it
Rule 1 of the game
But like at least now Iām more aware of the stuff that tank and healer has to consider in every fight
Plus I learned something about my damage mitigation on my DRG that I obviously misread and was under using it lol
But hey we all learn eventually
It is but as long as you keep most of those basics in mind you will be better than about half of party finder by default, every instance you do will go smoother as a result
For some reason when I read the tooltip for Feint I though it decreased the enemy STR and Defense. Didnāt realize it was DEX
So I was using it before my buffed skillls thinking I was increasing my damage
Not realizing STR and DEX affect physical damage inflicted lol
Dex is only for ninja and ranged dps
It might be that they have large eyes turned on which makes their pupils pop out a little more
all miqo have cat eyes
Cool because that's my goal get that mount.
Which subrace are you?
ahhh thanks i found it
i think diamond weapon might be the only one that has a low(er) drop rate than the others
The way the guides were written implies that using them mitigates damage because it directly lowers the enemy stats? Unless Iām reading it wrong
I got that gwib I need the others
seekers of the sun have slits
That regards Feint and Addle
keepers of the moon have big cat eyes cos they're suppose to be the nocturnal side
/shout vs /yell ?
Shout is zone wide, yell is larger say
Is there any mount farm discords?
zone wide, got it. Is there global chat?
Yeah thatās what I meant. When I used feint I misread it
No
rip
Linkshells, novice network and FC chat work globally but there's no real proper public global chat
Thank god for that
I already get spammed moving through major cities lol
been seeing some memes about monk on ff subs, what's wrong with monk lol
First real experience with an MMO. I have been playing for 2 days, level 11. I hit 1 story quest that had some semi-compelling character speech. I was hoping for a bit more than this overall. I feel like I'm just fetch-questing all the time, and the UI is a level of complexity that I've never seen before in typical single player action RPGs. It was, and still is a bit overwhelming and clunky for me to navigate. Making small headway.
Just trying to ascertain where the story missions are, what the icon is to denote them on the map, and perhaps how to trigger them more efficiently?
the meteor icons are for the MSQ
Story missions are
and also appear on the main scenario tracker in the top left corner of the screen
Your current main story quest will always be shown in the top left
Can click on it to see where it is
What's the fastest teleport to a glamour dresser?
Probably Gridania
Also donāt forget you can go into your HUD layout and rearrange it to suit your needs
Hmm, I have a n icon of flaming footprints and another Exclamation point sub quest below that. No MSQ icon as yet...
You can make things bigger, smaller, change location on screen. A lot of customizable options
Maybe the quest is taking you to a new zone hence why you canāt see it
You can go to options and map and then pan around and look for it
That is it. In this example Close to Home is the MSQ. Way of the Gladiator is a class quest.
Like, I have to progress to a certain level before each new scripted MSQ is activated?
Ahhhh.
I see.
So if you press start and go over to your Journal you cna see all accepted quests already and if you hit it twice you cna select the map function to see which map/zone itās on
Also above journal in the same tab there is a Recommended section and I think it usually mentions your current MSQ from there
You can't mark manually on your map?
The icons are marked on your map by default
Like manual waypoint markers?
If its in another zone, then the zone transition will have the mark
Ah.
Ctrl+click will place a flag on the map. Not sure about controller though.
Its like L1+r1 or something
The controls are shown under the map when its selected
Not major like wow
There's a few but not mandatory and just small quality of life
and they are illegal
what are they?
^
Like in most games
is that true of WoW as well
No
wow doesn't care
In WoW addons are supported
However, as long as you're not cheating or getting an advantage, SE is lenient to an extent
SE is condoning it for personal use, but is actively banning people who use addons to "talk down on people" like saying on stream that someones dps sucks
Aka dont be a fucking dick
Play nicely with the toyd and daddy SE wont take them away
so add-ons that help you out by giving call-outs would be technically more illegal than say, graphics mods?
has SE banned anyone for using add-ons
SE just can't detect it without doing their own illegal things
that we know of
Yes
All illegal, all hush hush, SE doesn't care unless you use it against someone else.
SE actively discourages NSFW mods?
yes
Yes
they discourage all mods
ppl who use nsfw mods are weird af anyway
like moreso than other mods
because it's actually illegal in japan
They discourage all
They are afraid of getting sue
so SE would get legal action against them
It's bad press for them if NSFW screenshots of their game goes around
No
Any and all addons are against ToS
I deleted my account but it still appears on my account on ps4 and i cannot remove it
All third party stuff is against ToS, however as long as you're not cheating, harassing, doing illegal things or getting an unfair advantage they'll be lenient to an extent
I think you have to contact support to unlink your ps4 account
They have no way of knowing you have it unlesd you bring attention to yourself
So basically, dont be asshole
so basically, don't cheat and dont engage in RMT stuff and you should be fine
They crack down hard on that
right?
and don't talk about mods
bots are banned in waves
i wish contacting them was easy
What's Carpentry for?
Some accessories
@faint dune I saw like 10 bots in 1 minute selling gil
Ah yes, a wooden sword
The other day
they make bows
Bows, staves, etc
Stave...?
Staffs
Staff
a short staff
carpenters also make spears
Guys every since I went to red mage I can't open any cophers with wepaons
don't ask me why
Why is that?
Ah, ok
but most of the spears are crafted by carpenters
wrong class probably @fading aurora
@remote lintel but they are from msq
Only i120+ stuff
and red mage didn't exist in ARR
Oh ye they start at lvl 50 I forgot
so you can't open ARR stuff with them
There's no global chat
Itd primarily Linkshells
Unless you go to Limsa
I expected this game to be kinda dead when I joined but then had to wait in que to enter servers and main city is so full u can't see yourself

Do classes like Carpenter and Fisher have jobs or do they just stay classes?
I bought 1 year sub so I'll be staying for a while
classes
They start as the job
I plan on joining a hunt train tonight, which has so may people in it that I canāt even see the enemy weāre supposed to be fighting
it's not peak time right now
Game is not dead
wait until 6-11 PM in your timezone
Fight the people too
Do Standard and Technical Step stack?
Hm... why does Hotbar 4 stay the same through all my classes/jobs but Hotbar 3 doesn't?
Neat, good to know.
@faint dune if you are on the xp boosted servers the gear will probs be bad to pick
Not really u get better ones from dungs
Its shared
Character config > hotbars > sharing
@remote lintel I've been doing msq and the gear becomes usless after a while because everything u get from class quests etc is better
if its an upgrade, you should be picking it. end of story
^
yes
@leaden ginkgo you were agreeing with kael
thanks
Mmorpgs don't benefit from higher hz than 60 @leaden ginkgo
Only shooter games
U won't notice it
you can notice 60 vs 144
Not in mmorpgs
you can definitely notice higher hz than 60 in mmorphs
this isnt the place to discuss it
rpgs*
the question was answered
anyway i have a question
do people have to clear emerald ex to get diamond ex unlocked
no
no
ok ty
you just need to clear normal mode of diamond to unlock diamond ex
only the normal needs to be cleared in order
Ahh, ty!! Now I don't have to update it for each class :D

Hi guys and girls, I switched from a tank to dps yesterday, I really wasnāt feeling the tank role however I am enjoying Lancer. I eventually do want to move forward with Dragoon. My question is, I would like to dabble in crafting. Is it worth it and should I do leatherworkers guild or Armorer?
What accent does Wesk Abler have? It feels so familiar and I canāt place it and Iām getting distracted trying to watch his content
To elaborate on Vinyl's answer a little - we typically suggest leveling all DoH/DoL classes at the same time because they are intensely interconnected, with each of the DoH professions requiring materials made by others, as well as things collected by Botany and Mining.
Thank you. I appreciate it.
It's a standard American English accent. It sounds like he just has a slight lisp, and takes extra care to annunciate his words.
Maybe itās the extra enunciation that is throwing me off. Typically thatās found in multiple language users in an effort to make sure they say it correctly
Which is why I was fixated on figuring it out. Thank you! Iām watching his WHM video to prep for when I want to heal
Heya , a friend has a medium house and wants to get a small one instead , is it possible for her to get some of the money back that she spend on the medium ? relocating dosent work she says from medium to small
It's also something you see (hear) in people who have a pronounced speech impediment and have had speech therapy training to overcome it.
Relocation works, you get a discount on what you payed
If you want a proper refund, you need it to br auto demolished after 45 days for 80% back
Also means you have to suffer thr invisible timer
why would you want a smaller house? is there a monthly rent or something? or just cosmetics
No
Dont really know why she wants a smaller house š
To each their own really. Could be that decorating the medium feels like a massive slog in comparison and would rather spend the extra 15m on glam
Different strokes/folks
estimated drop rate of loathsome memories for CEs?
do i have to use glamour on each piece of gear that i want to use glamour on? orrr do i just have to use glamour when i want to change the glamour set and doesnāt matter if i change the set im using?
You apply glamour to the gear
so you change gear, you need to reglamour. you can make a glamour plate at the dresser, in the inn rooms, to easily/quickly reapply glamour
ohh okies thank you :P
Learning to use glamour plates will save you so much time and effort, highly recommend if you're planning on glamming yourself at all
why wouldnt i glamour is the true end game
and afking in the big cities to show off the glamour that no one looks at which is 70% of the 3k hours played people have :))
Is there a dyable version of this pants, but for casting?
nope
your only option for those as caster is aurum vale, but theyre undyeable
could try using spring shorts if you don't mind them being a bit longer
does gear matter in crafting? just started and i'm naked with pickaxe ;D
Yes
Yes, gatherers and crafters have their own stats that affect their ability to gather or craft
Explicitly
so there is separate gear for crafting?
Yes
and can be bought from vendor in main city?
They even have their own endgame gear
Or sometimes "Fieldcraft" and "Tradecraft"
at early levels you can get away with being naked, but later levels yeah you need to make sure you're somewhat geared
well, by 15+ you should ideally have a set of gear. but with crafting/gathering you can for the most part hold off on gear until you start feeling like you really need it
its not like combat jobs where you generally want to keep your gear up to date.
great
makes it easier ofc if you do
yes they have their own endgame glowy weapons/tools

i just checked my gear and to be able to craft my whole set i need more than 1 discipline?
yeah
its not like i need leatherworking for light armor?
ugh
gonna stick to gathering disciplines then ;D
its why its strongly recommended to level all of them at once. because you share gear, you're going to need materials from other crafters
Yes, not just for the gear itself but the intermediate materials as well
but dung gear is better anyway right?
no dungeon gear for crafting/gathering
HQ crafted gear is the same strength as similar ilvl stuff
what are the skysteel/relic versions of the tools for gatherers?
so not stronger not weaker, equal level
unless you're talking combat jobs, then yeah generally dungeon gear is going to be better than crafted
skysteel is for both crafting and gathering
Current crafted combat gear Exarchic is the same strength as Eden promise normal gear
Both i510
Good catch up though
How do you find and join a lfg linkshell? don't see many in community finder
Ask for invites to a specific type
shouting in city?
Or other populated area Yes
I'm seeing people fly over me with dragons, chocobos, other weirdness... When does that start becoming a viable option?
'How can I unlock Flying?'
Flying is unlocked through the collecting of a zone's Aether Currents, with every zone having ten 'green' Aether Currents found in the overworld and five 'yellow' Aether Currents obtained through the MSQ and side quests marked with a plus sign. Azys Lla is the only zone to not have any green Aether Currents. You must collect all Aether Currents in a zone to be able to fly.
Flying is unlocked in A Realm Reborn zones simply by completing the level 50 story quest 'The Ultimate Weapon'.
'Where can I find the green Aether Currents?'
Upon obtaining the Story Quest 'Divine Intervention' you get the Aether Compass, which is a key item you can use to locate the nearest non-quest Aether Current. This can be set to your Hotbar for ease of use. Alternatively, you can use this website to show the location of all Aether Currents for a zone. http://heavenswhere.com/
Tldr: do story
why is it saying i have no fieldcraft levequests available in wineport ?
(and aether currents for expansions)
Heyyy I just reached lvl 60 on Samurai š What gear should I get? I just got to heavensward btw
Oh level 50?
Nome cause you dont need it
We's a way away, lol...
Ohh I can just stick to my lbl 50 gear?
shire gear
Lv5p for arr flight
You gear for your story level
Not job level
There's no reason to overlevel or overgear
It doesn't help you cause syncing is a thing
Use gear the story gives you until you get to Idyllshire for shire gear
they just got to heavensward
they do not have access to shire gear
Even vendor 60 gear is better than ironworks
Is that universally correct? Don't buy gear at all from vendors?
Post 50 Yes
Overpriced, underperforming?
for combat jobs, its not ideal to buy vendor gear
Vendor gear is weaker than any other equal ilvl gear
since its normal quality crafted gear and those don't have maxed main stat
There's often cheaper alternatives too.
Normal quality gear has lower stats than others of the same ilvl
for crafting/gathering classes, you can get away with vendor gear
Even for retainers its fine too
If you need to pad iLvls and you're rich, its fine too.
Less ideal but fine
But the stats are just straight up worse
Definitely don't pad ilvl for combat jobs with vendor gear
I see. I was only seeing very slight incremental increases to gear from vendors. It did make me wonder...
I needed to pad some ilvls to enter the lv71 dungeon with trusts, totally fine.
because vendor gear is always NQ
and has inferior stats compared to similar level dungeon gear
HQ gear is the prescribed ilvl
not to mention, you will get HQ versions of vendor gear from quests
NQ is similar to something 20 to 30 ilvls below
if i buy Tales of Adventure: A Realm Reborn do i get any class up to 50 or not?
no
No
obviously if you can find hq gear from the mb its better but at least on my server leveling gear usually sold at an absurd premium where its not worth it lmao
wait im blind, i see only tools for gathering, cant see armor etc
Story skips dont levrl you
wrong vendor?
And tael don't encourage that kind of play its poor advice in the case of someone entering matchmade content too with said gear
well im already 41 ill just get her to 50 with the 70 buff then buy it
I agree, if you're going to enter dungeons with other people you want proper gear. But that has nothing to do with padding iLvls.
id rather not play all the filler quests again
Don't pad ilvl with shit gear thats really it
Why would you pad iLvls with good gear you're going to ditch within 20 minutes after?
You have access to better options and should use those instead
At 70 vendor is still surpassed by augmented scaevan
i was told earlier to do the blue quests with plusses does that include levemente's?
Poetics are harder to come by than a bit of gil.
@primal ravine no
Pff no way
Vendor gear doesn't surpassed it until at least 75
making sure, those are just dailies for the area of some sort?
They're repeatables
theyre repeateable quests
They're trash for combat
noice
Poetics are easy to earn
But good for non combats
i've heard that scaevan gear lasts quite awhile in ShB even post-level 75
I agree that vendor gear is bad, statwise. I agree that there are much better options for proper gear. I also agree that you shouldn't run dungeons with other people using crap gear.
scaevan lasts you until lv75
It does snack but if you have access to better stuff you should start replacing pieces by 75
If you agree then don't suggest that it can be used to pad ilvl for combat jobs
Its fine for retainers but not OK for combat jobs
It is OK for combat jobs. Its not OK if you're playing with other people, and it's not OK if you need the stats.
NQ vendor gear is aboslute trash for combat jobs
Buying NQ gear loses a lot of item levels worth of stats
That's what I'm saying, yes.
you are a hinderance to the rest of the group being undergeared in any content
Indeed.
if you are using it to pad ilv then you were super undergeared to begin with, because leveling dungeon ilvl rquirements are insanely generous
Correct.
and you're only hurting yourself by getting NQ vendor gear
so there's no point to arguing this anymore
If its not ok for all those situations then don't use it for whatever cursed situation you have here
Thats it
I'm still struggling with the map, waypoint navigation system. Like, I can see the MSQ at the top left corner, but when I go to map, I'm not seeing an icon or even a zone transition point indicating that I have to go through that zone transition point to get to the icon. It is currently the most frustrating aspect of the game for me, lol. I'm using square to see my mini map and also start + travel + map to see the broader map. Was/is this an issue that people take offence to, or is it just my general unfamiliarity with the game, lol?
I'll just drop it.
just use the NQ gear for your retainer
snack
since the stats dont matter, only ilevel
let it fucking drop
I know this might be a wrong place to ask but anyways, does anyone know or can recommend a linkshell that is active doing content like mount runs or active like dungeon,maps,etc? Community finder seem to suck for excalibur
look for an orange circle on the map
that sounds like largely an unfamiliarity with the game and zones.
also may be that you're using the overworld map which may not be able helpful as the zoomed in zone maps
@rose oak have you tried #603040697884475393
Might have fcs or something that do something like that
Worked out the zoom maps fuction.
Or even the subreddit
Just feels very clunky and tedious when trying to get from point a to point b, lol.
you can use the arrows in the top left corner of the map to zoom out to the region map
and see where you are and where your goal is
It seems mostly are statics but I'll take another look. I have been browsing reddit but I have a static I just want something for when I'm not raiding. Like IDC about how many colors you have swap on your chicken suit etc
Interestingly enough, sidequests and later on aether currents really help in learning to navigate a map and where all its landmarks are.
Maybe I'm too used to waypoint fixturing and more intuitive fast travel.
can only fast travel to places youve been before
True.
What is the discord for extremes synced
Just hard to get my head around its mechanics this early on, lol.
do the team assignments for cerebrus really matter for WoD? when im dps, i go into the stomach everytime, regardless of the team i'm on
Tired of PF people joining and crying about synced
No
all dps should go into the stomach
faster the adds in there die, the faster that phase is done
What is the extreme synced discord
!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
Check #resources for your datacenter
Check #resources
No one would be willing to do old extremes or savage synched
@wispy parcel you say that but every extreme I done has been synced so far
Next to the quest name
So you're wrong buddy
not this convo AGAIN
I will.never clear an extreme unsync for first clear fucking boring ass gameplay
@open ember not venting just commenting on what he said
most people in PF are trying to farm, not looking for first time completion
that's why people prefer unsync'ed
Snack stop
that question has long been answered
Oh I know lol idrc though people have been joining for god trio progs all week synced
well im already dropping this i am not going argue anymore
Whats a mentor roulette?
a roulette for mentors
Ditto.
it's a roulette that unlocks after you've completed every single duty in the game and when you're a battle mentor
It had everything but savage content in it
Oh I see
is that the only two-seater mount in the game that's not bought off mogstation?
No
or need a friend
4 seater from eden 4 savage
Friends 
what's that called?
you can "buy" recruit a friend on reddit
Skyslipper
The mecha dragon is also 2 seater
which you can get from getting all of the gwiber mounts from shb extreme trials
Wait is it similar to wow's recruit a friend system?
Maybe somewhat? You can read about it here: https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/special/friend_recruit/
RAF you just give a code to someone who hasn't paid for a sub yet and they put it in their mogstation
Ah
What's the best gear to have at the moment?
Augmented Cryptlurker and eden promise savage gear
Do the story
Its mandatory for ANYTHING
It literally locks the entire game
You need eden promise bits a pieces to trade to get augmented stuff right?
There's ni point rushing levels
Augments for Cryptlurker drop in Savage yes
You can also now buy them for sacks of nuts and the 3 nier coins
Does not doing your "rotation" count as being carried? Or just sucking
Ive been wondering
ive been levleing up a conjurer at level 27
And im almost done wiht my wondrous tails
It counts as being bad
Whats a good level to actually use the wondrous tails exp?
Its half your xp when you turn it in
because i feel like using the journal exp at level 27 feels like a waste
the journal becomes invalid every week. dont hold on to it
WT exp scales, so use it on your highest level, but not 80, job. You'll get more out of it.
Wondrous tails typically expire 2 weeks after you've gotten them
you have 2 weeks to turn in a book
Sucking AND if your team is good enough that you are getting through content regardless then you are being carried
My highest level thats not 80 is my dark knight at 71 ish
so should I just not use it on my conjurer?
Can someone help to explain to me how you can sell Allagan Silver in enclave for more price than they are sold in local shops? Or did I misunderstood?
or ratehr whats a good LEVEL to use on my conjurer
doma enclave buys items for a mark up
Thr enclave gives you more gil, a percentage more based on their gratitude
so if you donate the allagan silver pieces for the week, you get more gil
200% at maz
Hmm..cuz I'm kinda scared lol. I know its only 60 for me but I dont wanna be like a liability ya know
Weskalber for levelling rotations
So once I complete restoration, I can sell everything there for 200%?
Yes
Up to 40k a week
Thank you
hm maybe google has an answer or the balance
Until you get to the actual endgame and are trying to clear or farm hard content, people are incredibly lenient.
Wait I did that but when I give the girl the silver, she never paid me anything
I don't understand what you're asking here
I just gave Allagan silvers
if you've hit the cap for the week you won't get more gil
No I meant I finish restoration already
Im asking whats a good level to use the wondrous tails exp
A while ago
because I Feel like I rack up levels really fast on lower levels
so im not sure if using it while level 27 is a good idea so i want to know whats the ideal level to use WT
the higher the better
Like people said, the highest job you have, and don't sit on it or you just lose all the exp anyway.
i was hoping to find a sweet spot
Doesn't exist
ill just use it on my dark knight
A higher level job. On your conjurer, you'd get maybe 50k. On your dark knight you'd probably get 6mil. (Estimating the exp)
Or rather, it's level 79.
i dont really play my dark knight anymore which is why im so hesistant
since i maxed out paladin
Then use it on what you want to level
If you don't care about efficiency, just use it on the job you use.
i think level 35 is a good place to journal
If you want to do some weird micro-optimization, use it right before the reset and get as much levels in before then through other means.
It's probably not worth that effort though.
Uhhh, my hot menu just changed up on me. Seems like it transformed to emotes from basic commands. How to change back, lol?

is there a way i can obtain Hellfire Armor of Fending Coffer a second time?
you can buy with poetics
^ in Idyllshire
ohh thx
you can buy them in ishgard too
Right right
Not sure I follow? Hotbars don't just do that
The only thing I can think of that would cause that is some quests will override your hotbar to give you actions specific to the quest.
Which is temporary when it happens
^ or like, mount skills or your pet hotbar?
Or ran a macro copy and pasted from somewhere that messes with the hotbar
uhm i can only upgrade or augment the gear in idyllshire
Wrong vendor then
Hold R1 and cycle through custom hotbars with D pad and face buttons.
Worked it out.
Hismena
Sure, his mena 
ohh thx ā¤ļø
there's a guy that sells hellfire gear right next to the main aetheryte in ishgard
might be a cheaper option if you don't want to teleport to idyllshire, which can be quite expensive
bust still cost 540 poetics right?
yes same price
i assume you cant buy weapon upgrades with alliance raid coins right now?
Ninja or Monk? š
it's just less annoying to get to than the vendor in idylshire
because i can never remember where hismena is
hey guys, it's my first time playing through, is it worth joining every guild that i can?
....teleporting costs nothing
no. just join one
They're different jobs
No, not weapons. But everything else, yes.
no, but the cost of it is still a minor annoyance to some people
Unlock all the classes if you want Cis
odd, iirc you could do it before day 1 but i could be wrong. will they add it in later possibly?
older rpgs money was very hard to come by, so some people still have a habit of not spending gil when they don't have to
It's always added later
To keep incentive for raiding
hey guys im trying to go to the mist but the ferry isnt working?
guess i remembered wrong then /shrug
It might have been different last time? Since that tier was way longer than intended
I don't remember though
5.31 added it for the last tier. So maybe 5.55 for this tier.
Is the newer zones better looking graphically? Like ARR is pretty dull, not seen to much improvement in the beginning of HW. In WoW for instance it's a wast difference in graphical quality in the newer zones and content vs the old zones/content. Can I expect this going further into the game. Stormblood/Shadowbringers?
which ferry are you trying to use to get to the mist
the one near fisherman guild
have you done the quest "where the heart is" because that unlocks the ferry in limsa/aetheryte travel to the mists.
I have yet to get an Alexandrite drop from a FATE (weapon is equipped) - how rare are these? Are they all FATEs from any level, any location?
Don't do fates for that step
just buy mysterious maps with poetics
you get 5 alex per map
does drg or nin have more personal dps / group utility ?
Ah okay. I was saving poetics for umbrite because Iām simultaneously working on anima weapon, but I really want to get to nexus first
you can used allied seals to also buy alex
Actually on that note, is there a limit on how many of each material you can trade in for crystal sand, or can I just do the whole thing with like moonstones?
look up il meg for a look at ShB zones
can do the whole thing wth moonstones if you wanted
Cool
does doing pharos sirius hard with squadron reward green memories for the relic?
should
hello can anyone help me
just go ahead and ask
in what ways is it not working?
i registered myself for the free try
then i saw the fist second of the game but it was in french so it closed it to change language and now i cant make it work anymore
i put my password and all but when im in it sayes that finalfantasy doesn't recognize my account or something and ask me to go to the kupo assistance site
but it doesn't help people using steam for the game and ask me to buy it all pver again
plz help its driving me crazy
whats your first language @glass dome ?
Whatās that currency you get from arr raids?
Trying to remember
To google something that I could purchase it with
Allagan Tomestones of Poetics
i want the voices in the game in english
that's not what i asked lol
How long would the iron work armor sets last? I have arr and hw
french
Lv55 story/dungeon
@glass dome moi aussi, tu veux en parler en francais en prive?
Thatās a pretty decent amount of time
oki
Since level 50 to 60 is a long ass to@e
Poetic gear always lasts 5 levels of story
Guess gonna go farm for those
hey question, when you buy the game on steam. do you need to separately create a square enix account? how does steam link into mogstation?
It links when you put the code into Mogstation
when you buy the game on steam, you're given a cdkey?
whats rdps ?
!faq fflogsdps
- RaidDPS (rDPS) is: Your TotalDPS minus the damage from buffs you received plus the damage from buffs you contributed
- Personal DPS (pDPS) is: Your TotalDPS without being adjusted for buffs.
- aDPS is: Your TotalDPS minus single target buffs applied to you (devilment, dragon sight, astro cards, etc)
so he would then create an account on square enix and put i nthat serial, and it would detect it comes from steam and link?
thanks
Can I do dps role as a tanker class?
You can't
No, you're a tank
You're meant ti do as much damage as possible as a Tank
But you're a tank, end of
Oh I see. I was thinking WoW where tanker classes have DPS build as well.
There's no hybrids
I see.
And no builds
Which quest gives you the 500k after finishing ARR? I got nothing yet
No quest gives 500k gil.
Iām pretty sure the quest with the highest gil reward is the level 50 Fisher quest for catching 6 frustratingly hard and annoying big fish, and that only gives 50k.
So people meant the total amount of money I would get from quests by finishing ARR?
500k
Probably
There's the road to 70 500k but idk where you get that
if you buy the story skip you get 500k
Or the money you get by boosting
Or was it less than that
that could be the one you mean
I can't rememver
oh ok
I am watching YouTube and it seems warrior looks pretty cool and has satisfying skill effects and sound. Too bad I can't do dps role with it. lol
Tanking isn't hard
Tanks also put out damage decently close to DPS
If the average DPS was a 100, tanks would be around 60-70
Are dungeons hard to navigate? A lot of prep work required? Do I have to search for a walkthrough for each dungeon before tanking?
Only the 1-49 dungeons need any actual navigation
They're literally straight lines
ff14 doesnt have hard dungeons like wow
ARR dungeons tend to be wind-y but just use your map and follow the group
Past that they all become glorified hallways

Put stance on > walk forward > hit things > use defensive cooldowns
Well done you've tanked
What is this symbol over the Miqo's head?
And dungeons are the lowest overall content in terms of difficulty
It's on my minimap too when I walk away
it means you can pick up a quest item from him
Oh 
Or a mount or a quick travel over a boarder you cant cross
It's probably to re-mount the magitek walker
Basically means if you forgrt you can talk to them to get back
In case you get off
whats the quickest way for an item be to be soulbound to me?
Did the game give people free sub days?
I had 30 for buying the game and now it says I have 44 today
???
you get 15 days for reaching lvl 30 on a preferred world
Oh
Is there a place that lists all of these things lol
I have random stuff happening all the time hahha
Its only that
I have two MSQs taking me to two different areas in Gyr Abania
Is this a common reoccurence throughout Stormblood or is it just at the start
The MSQ splitting happens from time to time, but it always comes back together at some point
Whats an MSQ?
Main story/scenario quests

Get in combat with anything
Or use it for glamour
ty ty
I many quests out there but I am in the preferred world so I level up faster than the quests that are out there.
I end up doing low-level quests compared to my character level.
Yes. That's pretty common, particularly in ARR and HW.
first, yellow sidequests are not great for leveling
you wanna focus on msq and blue quests
By the end of HW/end of SB you'll usually catch up to within a couple of levels.
also, if you dont want to waste xp, you can pick up another class on the side to lvl
A realm reborn, Heavensword
ARR = A Realm Reborn - the level 1-50 content.
HW = Heavensward - the first expansion; level 50-60 content.
Oh I see. Thank you.
Basically though, MSQ
should always be your priority, as the majority of content in the game is locked behind it in some way or another.
So basically, don't bother with the yellow side quests? Focus on the main quest and the blue quests?
yep
quests are basically just lore
Yellow is for.lore
story quests>job quests>blue quests
Anything on/under the main scenario tracker is top priority
unlock a variety of content, including other jobs, additional dungeons, raids, and an assortment of system things like glamour and the hairstylist.
I have a bit of OCD so it bothered me to see NPC's with quest mark over their head. lol
