lol I know!!
That's a level 49 weapon
No wonder you can't do that
That's terrible.
it's the best one I could find
Please for the love of god replace that shit
hahaha
Seriously, just get the Ironworks one.
ok
Tried to buy one on the market board?
No no no
Wouldn't bother, ironworks is easy enough
Don't bother with the MB
Sometimes you can get cheap weapons for like 10k
did you do the msq on a different job?
no but these are all great suggestions I should definitely try
MB weapons aren't going to compare to the Ironworks gear at that level
Just use poetics.
ok I'm gonna head to ironworks first... you get those poetic thigns from dungeons right? I might not have enough
From MSQ roulette, 50/60/70 dungeons, and Alliance raids.
level 50+ content/roulettes
How do I get more megicite to upgrade the element board
ah ok cool
You get 500-600 poetics from MSQ roulette your first time per day, so I'd do that if you're short.
500 if there's no first time bonus, 600 if there is.
I'm curious and I kinda ask what Kael asked again, have you done the MSQ as another job? @wind dragon
The question I'm on isn't MSQ, it's a WHM quest
No no there is a reason we are asking
MSQ roulette only gives me 300, what do I need to do to up it?
Do Krile's quests.
Yes, but if you'd been doing the MSQ as WHM, we're wondering why you weren't struggling before this.
oh
do the primal triaals (garuda, titan, ifrit). very often you can get a first-timer bonus which gives you 60-70 bonus poetics
You get 300 bonus + 200 base
that and the fact that MSQ would have given you white mage canes way better than your 49 stick
I was swapping between samurai and white mage, but I think the game was super easy because I was way outlevelled for most of the content
Ohh, I see! Never knew, great. Do the other roulettes also give "base" poetics?
"Base" poetics means from the instance itself\
it''s strange though because I wasn't really struggling that bad in dungeons
Oh I see so you just never chose the white mage weapon rewards from main story lol
for heals
Do any other instances also give poetics?
your level and item level is sync'ed down for all the story dungeons, so your actual level doesn't really matter
50/60/70 dungeons
50/60/70, Alliance Raid, and Normal Raid all give baseline poetics/tomestones depending on which ones you're doing.
that's one of the weird thiings about ffxiv
Some of the Trials also have a baseline poetics rewardd
oh interesting
But not all of them
anything that was old level capped instances will give poetics
Aha, that is really good to know. Give or take how much? Or does that really differ depending on what run you get?
it depends on the instance
Depends on the instance
all of that information is shown on the instance's duty finder page
Can anyone recommend savage raids/extreme trials video guides that are really indepth? I feel like a lot of guides I've seen don't go into enough depth sometimes and also use stock footage that doesn't show clearly what is actually happening.
mtq capture
^
Mizzteq's guides are very in depth
also clear voiced
Yes
the format is really nice
if you can get over her puns
ah yes
She breaks down fights nicely by mechanics, and shows them in slow motion as well, so you can see what to look for.
She also explains what the mechanics actually do rather than ‘stand here when this happens’ and not telling you why
yea i never realized Scylla had so many mechanics in Syrcus Tower
joonbob is really good too, clear diagrams of how to handle most mechanics interlaced with ingame footage, though they don't post a guide for everything
Most people don't seem to. But really there's only like, three things, and they're all related to the tethered orbs.
MTQ saved my sprout ass for the Crystal raids
tbh tho, you really dont need to know anything going into the crystal raids. just do what people tell u
you also generally dont see any of the other mechanics nowadays
I mean... the CT raids are pretty faceroll at this point.
i only see the tether orb mechanic and the puddle
but mtq mentions so many others
Even if people don't do the tower mechanics on Scylla, you can still clear the fight, for example.
apparently you don't have to do the mechanics for the final boss of lost city of amdapor either
A lot of MTQ videos were made at the time that content was new and you actually had to do mechanics. A lot of those mechanics can be ignored now.
you dont have to do any of the doors
Yeah, that's true. It hurts, and an unprepared healer might not thank you for it, but I don't think I've ever actually understood the mechanics on the last boss in Lost City.
me neither ¯_(ツ)_/¯
I would’ve been a complete deadweight idiot if i didn’t watch a video lmao
Angra Mainyu is a raid killer even if most people do know the mechanics there.
WoD is a bit of an exception. I see a lot of runs fall to that first boss
agraa mainyu is the reason why WoD can take up to 50 minutes, instead of 20
Also Get Behind the Ice makes so much sense NOW for Amon but as a sprout? No way
Sprout looking at mechanics was me, running away from literaly everything
the quaaga/levitation thing never made sense to me until
I mean, inevitably if you run away with the levitation target, half the raid will yell at you after you die.
Yeah, but only after
But they'll let you run off and die first.
CT and MTQ was the saviour
Nobody's going to chase your ass down.
i really dont see anyone yelling at people for not doing the quaaga mechanic
this is getting a bit more #general-discussion
This is true.
in short: MTQ is great and can save your ass from literal satsasha to savage shit
I wish I could practice on my own lol, my first attempt at them is going to be rough and people are probably not going to be happy
I do check comments too though, just because she might miss something
most dungeons are pretty self-explanatory. it's just when you get to the level-capped dungeons, trials and raids, where mechanics become a thing
so, obscure question, but does a character count as a party of 1?
the levelling roulette has a new function to limit your dungeon to within 8 levels of your party
I've tried using it, and it doubles or triples the wait time in the roulette, so I assume you are a party of 1
but when a dungeon finally popped, it was well lower than 8 levels below mine
As long as you say you’re new, no one will be too harsh
no
its for premade groups
that option that is, so if you're 2-4 ppl you can use it. can't use it as 1 person
And some Shb dungeons have... actual mechanics only ones that’ll kill you personally tho
Are you expected to get those dps overlays for raids?
I wonder why it seemed to affect my queue time
No
Addons of any kind are technically against TOS, so they are never expected from anyone.
PS4/5 players raid without them, so...
SE tolerates them, however, provided that you don't harass people with them.
PS4 players raid? o.o
Of course they do.
I have a question, im new to the game and i'm not sure if i should pick the chaos or light server
leviathan is best o.o
Doesn't really matter. Just pick a server that looks good for you.
sounds like confirmation bias to me since that option doesn't affect single person quques
Just be aware that Shiva is a primarily German server, and Moogle(?) is primarily French.
Wouldnt be a stretch to say the majority of the playerbase is console players. PC gaming straight up isnt a thing in Japan
That would be a stretch, actually.
<---- was joking. I dont raid either
Japan does not make up the majority of the playerbase.
And PC players definitely exist in Japan.
this is a more serious channel so jokes like that are pretty much going to be met with serious answers
ok yeah the issue was 100% my item level.. I just bought the ironworks staff for WHM and beefed up all my gear at the the market place and quickly got myself to ilvl 124.. then I went back and the quest was much much easier.
conga rats!
Did you bought NQ gears?
Do the NPC companions also scale? I noticed they were fighting better after my iLVL went up
When in doubt,power up
they weren't dying as fast
I mean that might be your healing or regen but maybe?
Is the "Oriental Striking Dummy" can only be crafted? Someone said purchase with seals?
I don't see it listed for seals. Only crafted.
crafted only
ok ty
When I talk to krille she says nothing
Something about how far I can go
I'm almost element lv 16 but idk what I should be doing I'm only doing challenge logs
@strange coral
Do you only have one magicite or did you get more from her previous quests?
not the channel for that @pulsar osprey
Oh, she's tell you to go find it
she's directing you to the area to find it
Anyone know what day in May they reveal new job?
Go northwest as she says
eureka does not have your normal quests
Ohh
you have to pay attention to her text
Probably during fan fest
Northwest where
they give you a general idea of where to go to find it
Ohh near the observatory
may 14th and 15th is when fanfest is happening. job reveal will most likely be on 14th
Do I have to assign a skill to a hotbar for my chobo to use it? Or will it use heal skills automatically
it will use skills it knows automatically in free/the appropriate stance
it will cast choco regen if you're below 90%, and choco cure if you're below 50%
Ah okay because the wording confused me saying "Order" the chocobo to cast regen
So cool one less thing to worry about in rotation
Thanks :)
I have a question regarding the screenshot sweepstakes thing that SE put out
For what you need for the sweepstakes it says:
Take a screenshot of your character in your favorite location using the in-game Group Pose function. The screenshot must include the text stickers: Character Name, Date/Time, and Duty Name.
^
I can't find anywhere in the gpose where you can apply this. I've looked at every option carefully. Can I get some help with this?
What is the end-game zone for stormblood where I can buy poetics gear? Trying to work on the post-storblood msq but my item level isn't able to hit 300
Rhalgar's Reach
can also buy it in kugane
the vendors in rhalgrs unlock at the same time as the one in Kugane
What Eden run is better for helmet, waist and shoe? Umbral or Litany?
!faq edenloot
the sticker mode in the second "tab"
then text > switch the thingy like in my previous pic
Which ever one you find easier tbh since they give the same amount
Ah thank you so much! ❤️
E10 will drop all three though.
so does e9
I've already got chest arms and something else I can't remember
i'd personally go e9 because i apparently can't remember right from left
That one still confuses me too 🥺 I've watched the run on YouTube so many times
how do i get the "built up" experience? i remember the game told me early on, but i forgot lol
you mean rested exp?
if you stay in safe areas (big cities and areas near aetherytes) you'll slowly gain rested exp
this includes the time you spent offline, so generally you should log out in safe areas
okay, but does it get turned into normal exp just by staying there too, or do i just get more of it?
or am i misunderstanding something
It applies a bonus to the exp you earn until that section of your exp bar is filled
ahhhh okay, thanks 😄
If we got whm or diurnal sect ast in-team, and i use nocturnal sect, should i prioritize heavily on shield? sometimes i got insecured putting up only shield... especially when another healer seems not to take action. or should i just play diurnal sect to double the healing
!faq job
To unlock your class' job you need to be level 30, complete all of your class quests and the main scenario quest 'Sylph Management' (lvl 20 quest) to be able to pick up your job unlock quest. Once you've done the initial unlock quest, you will be given a soul crystal which you must equip to become your class' job.
unlocking job, does that mean like a gladiator turning into something new?
Marauder's guild
Are you doing prog content or just in general, like duty finder stuff?
where si that
Yes, gladiator becomes paladin.
is it smart to do once you reach level, or can i wait?
So I just bought the complete edition, and I can't actually download it, it stops and throws up an error 30437, anyone have any idea what I'm supposed to do to fix this?
cause i need to do that if so lol
Same place you've been getting your class quests. You said you already did them.
you should be getting your job the moment you can
You should do it asap
ok thanks, i should do that now then
you're hurting yourself if you don't because you're missing out on a chunk of your skills
Yes
now it just general content, but if possible i wanna know if it a must to have healer+shield for late-game raids too.
How many protean crystals do you need for an anemos weapon
I've 1256 on me
general content, you dont need to go nocturnal
can just double up on regens with whm
Does doing the quest to unlock the beast tribes in ARR also unlock the tribes in Heavensward? Or is it a separate quest? And is that quest locked behind MSQ?
for harder end-game content, its generally ideal to go nocturnal especially when you're progging a fight
seperate unlocks @fallen axle
tyty @twilit arch
all beast tribes have their own unlocks. some of them only require msq, some of them have side quest requirements
Are they good exp? Like while I’m queued for dungeons on my Lv33 MCH would running those be good?
ARR beast tribes are ok exp, the dailies have set levels so their exp doesn't scale
Also, is there a simple guide for earning GC bonds and promoting? Until I hit the point I can apparently donate armor to them?
Expansion beast tribes tho are pretty decent xp, they do scale within their level range
Hmm cool. Yeah mainly looking for stuff to do on MCH when I’m queued for dungeons
Do your grand company hunting log (you'll need this done for promotions), can also do fates while waiting in queue to help with seals. Daily leveling roulette also helps with seal generation before you're sergeant second class
Fates reward GC seals?
yes
😎
Awesome thank you I’ll look at the hunting log also
But is there a small guide about GC or beast tribes? Or am I better off watching a YT vid?
not aware of any guides for them, since they're pretty straight forward
If i recall it correctly you need 1400 Protean Crystals
yes you need to do your marauder class quests to unlock warrior
Ok, so I finished the Hard version of Ramuh’s trial, does anybody have an idea of how much longer I have until I get to ARR
you're about the half way mark of post ARR
Hello. I'm a fairly new player in general, and was looking at some advice on how to setup a controller, and well... I only got so far before I was unable to set skills and actions to some of the hotbars. Is anybody who players console willing to help me out with this?
I want death.
you're going to be starting the lead up to HW
does anyone know why it's so hard to find people for delubrum reginae savage? I've been on party finder for three days, no success :/
trust me, its going up from here
post ARR is very good actually, story picks up
Use Discords. #resources should have some links
I'm so tired of downloading 10gbs, thinking I've fixed it, only for it to happen again lmao
!faq controller
I know Elemental DC now organises DRS in a Discord now
@stray osprey not a controller user but this guide might help
I play controller, how to put actions on hot bar is step 1. Go to actions and traits by clicking the menu button step 2. Go to actions or anything u want to add step 3. Click square on the action step 4. Hold R2 and press the button where u want the hotbar to be
Okay so I've 1450 protean crystals on me
What should I do now
Do I make murgalis + 2
@rich bay
That only works for the basic hotbars and crosskeys. Extended hotbars from double clicking or simul-clicking don't come up when choosing actions and traits, nor do custom hotbars.
Do you think you could find out what the discord is? I've been running DR for days just to get Cerberus and now I can't make the last step T_T
Idk that Datacentre I'm sorry!
Oh I know, I’m just fucking exhausted of doing these small extras and just want to get to the Expansions cause I know they’re good
😦 ty!
Hmmm I’ve been playing for a while now but Idk wat u r asking tbh I’m sorry, the only things I know abt the hot bars is adding actions and traits and adding another hot bar another set of hot bar but instead of two hot bars showing like PC u have to click R1 to keep switching
I'm planning on leveling my DoH classes... is it a better idea to level them simultaneously or grind each class to 80 individually?
hi, is there any trading channel in this server ?
generally recommended to level them together
together is more comfortable considering gear, if you level everything at different levels you'll have inventory full of gear
There is a setting to enable extra cross-bars by double clicking the trigers, or clicking them at the same time. This gives you even more options. BUT, I can't figure out how to set actions or traits to them like you can the default crossbars. If anybody can help with this on controller, I'd appreciated it. Thank you for trying to help, @dapper trellis
Wxhb and extended hotbars look at different cross hotbars, so you put actions on those cross hotbars for it to refer to
You can change what hotbars those look at in character config > hotbars > custom
ok i am resetting up my hotbars for all my jobs and some reason when i try to slot thunder1 onto hotbar it turns into thunder3 any reason why
Wow I did not know abt this💀
Because thunder 3 is an upgrade
!trait Thunder Mastery
When Actions and Traits ask you to click what hotbar and then you just hold R2 or something and set the skill. Why doesn't that same function allow me to double click R2 to access the extended hotbar? Why is this so complicated?
You assign the skill to the cross hotbar the extended/wxhb is referring to
Its not hard
yeah i just realized that now after wlooking this is what i get for being away too dang long
If your double tap r2 is referring to Cross hotbar 2
You put skills on cross hotbar 2
Then it shows up
It just sounds like gibberish to me what you're saying, I'm sorry. If I go into Actions and Traits, then click on a skill to assign it, I can ONLY ACCESS THE DEFAULT CROSS HOTBARS. The ones access via double clicking or clicking both do not work when setting actions and traits.
Again, double tap triggers and holding both triggers LOOK AT YOUR DIFFERENT CROSS HOTBARS
WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN?!
They look at
Different cross hotbars
Gor what they show
If your double tap trigger hotbar is looking at Cross hotbar number 2
The double tap right trigger is set to look at say the left side of crosshotbar 9
It's all in your settings
You assign skills to cross hotbar number 2
Then it shows up on the double tap trigger hotbar
Again
You can check and change this
Im character config > hotbar settings > custom
To see what hotbars those extra hotbars are looking at
okay, so my tiny brain is finally figuring this out. It doesn't CREATE extended hotbars for you to set skills to, it just creates a visual copy of an existing hotbar that you normal switch to with the bumbers. So to set things to extended cross hotbars, I do not do it directly, but in the source hotbar.
That is way too complicated.
In company crafting, do HQ components give more quality?
So double check what hotbars the Extended and WXHB are looking at in the character config and assign skills to those hotbars
FC crafting? No, sorry
you trade excharnic i510 + items from allergory for augement i520, right? You can still overmeld?
That's like, displayed somewhere in the screen that I put it
No
To show lioe cooldowns of.skills?
yes

Turn on a regular hotbar via Character config, then use the virtual mouse (L1+r3) to drag and drop skills onto it
Augmented crafted aren't technically crafted items anymore since they were trade ins
the virtual mouse is just the touch pad, right?
so if u min-max, you still go for the non-augement one?
No, more mainstat and vitality is still better
I didn't know about this
You can use that as well, i find using it via L1+r3 easier
you've been a huge help
Remember to toggle hide Unassigned in Character config > hotbars for a clean floating hotbar
510 isn't bis anyways for any job
My inventory got filled with sharlayan cabinets from lockboxes
I can't even trade these nor sell in mb
What do I do
Toss them
Oh
Or sell to vendor
Sells for like 150 gil
Anyone know the best way to make gil?😭 crafting and gathering have been a struggle for me so anything else besides crafting or gathering?
Without crafting and gathering, best bet is to sell stuff from Tomes (both poetics and allegory), sell stuff from seals and get lucky with treasure maps
Ooooo okay okay thank youu
How do I cycle through members on pc? Just wanna ask
You can set scroll settings in character configuration to soft target your party list
Does the Dragoon get any TP restoring actions?
F1 to f8 on keyboard also hard selects party members by default
Tp doesn't exist anymore
They dont use mp
dragoon doesn't use mp so no
you do
It shows on all jobs for consistency
they just don't require mp
And dark knight
Any advice on making spells easier to click on? I dont feel like manually doing it each time
Don't click them with mouse, add more keybinds to your hotbars
Like ctrl and such?

Yes
Hmm..might take awhile to get used to. Considering I gotta move as well
Clicking skills with a mouse is generally not advised since it's not as precise
Use keys near your movement keys as well
!faq altleveling
And they apply in combat only right?
No if your skill is targetless you'd be able to use it out of combat
Like holy or stuff
What's the most efficient way to farm Skybuilder Scrips as of right now?
Lv80 crafts
also fetes
Not expert
Apart from Fetes of course
So the 80 crafts then? Thanks 🙂
Fishing for the mats get a good amount as well
Can someone help me make a dragon sight macro that targets the 6th person in the party
/ac "dragon sight" <6>
Fishing for the mats, as in.. go into Diadem, fish a lot, get scrips?
Thanks
You desynth the fish once approved for mats
I do enjoy fishing, sounds like my way to go. Thanks.
About the crafting 80 thing, will the white scrip gear (ilvl 500) be enough to get max collectability?
Yes, i get it in facet
If you're not fishing for specific mats, I recommend using diadem hoverworm on swirling cloudtop (small, circular island SE of the starting point, way down)
Thanks, advice taken.
and mooch the fairy things for the little thalaos
Gotcha, thanks. I thought I might have an issue since the stats is way lower than pentamelded aesthete iirc.
does anybody know a good Dragoon hotbar setup for controller that isn't outdated? Something that kinda groups the rights skills in the right cross hotbars or maybe has a good skill rotation?
hi guys question if i play through stream do i still need to register a square enix account?
I mean, hotbar setups are kind of a personal preference thing.
#protips-and-ui People here help with such questions often 🙂
steam doesn't handle account management
For mine, I like to group combos or skills with similar effects/uses.
all it does is the source of how you purchase the game, you still have to make a mogstation acct.
what data center is on the steam?
PS5 now too whoop
Hello, I'm not sure if this question is fit in here
But gamerscape says that only Byakko's Rod desynthesis have a chance to drop a Byakko's Mane
Is this correct? Or Someone else got the mane from other weapons/shield?
how do i get the free trial account?
the desynth page is often not complete
oh makes sense
Generally if you can get it from one of the weapons, you should be able to get it from all of them
yeah I tried to desynth a bunch of shields but no such luck
then again it's rng after all
Are there any classes that can double-level like SCH & SUM?
no, sch/smn are unique
thx
@low moth launch the trial on steam
Mogstation, Your Account page, there's a recruit a friend banner image
are you using the trial launcher
iam using the launcher from steam
screenshot the game page in your library
that's not the trial
is there a bonus xp cap
ohh it says here free trial
!faq freetrial
afaik you can use this download also and when you upgrade to full you can choose steam.
he would have to create a new account for that launcher
not like he's gotten very far as it stands
none
ok ill try to create a new account again
you >should be able to play just fine with the already made account for sure
it worked. i tried to launch the game from the one i downloaded instead of steam
thanks thanks
Wait so the steam launcher doest work?
yeah i think so
There is, but you don't hit that cap often.
At daily reset

does anyone have a link to the aether hunts server?
thanks
How many different beast tribes exist in the game?
I have Amalj'aa, Sylphs, Sahagin, Ananta, Namazu, and Pixies
Anything else I'm missing?
14
shadowbringers tribes are dwarves, pixies, and qitari
Expansions have 3 each and ARR has 5
stormblood are namazu, ananta, kojin
Ahh fuck
heavensward are vath, vanu vanu, and moogles
What is Bozja?
a realm reborn are ixali, sahajin, amal'jaa, kobolds and sylphs
I'm curious how long the Heavensward expansion is compared to A Real Reborn? Is it about the same? 20% shorter?
its the zone tied to the shadowbringers relic quest chain
but also used as a catch all term for the shb relic in general
And the Bozja relic weapons are the strongest so far?
the relic for shadowbringers isn't complete yet. 5.55 will be releasing the last step, with that it will be the strongest weapon ye
anyone know why I can't get a replica bozja weapon after I've done the step
any profession csn craft glamour prisms right?
if you're talking about the recollection/laws order step, need to augment law's order before those replicas will appear
@forest bronze all but cul
okies thank you :P
ah
I've got an ARR relic weapon that I want to use as a glamour but it's not letting me?
i assume you're trying to put it in the dresser?
Are you trying to apply it as a glamour to a lower level weapon or a weapon for a different job?
Is not a replica relic weapon I'm not sure how to do it

you can't put the normal relic into the dresser. it has to be a replica
It said something about the level to low?
what's the weapon you're trying to put glamour onto
You cannot glamour a higher level weapon onto a lower level one.
So ARR relics can't be glamoured onto anything under level 50
Other way round I would like to put it on a higher level weapon
I can keep looting the cosmetics in this raid right?
Yes
ah ok
Which relic are you trying to glamour with and what are you trying to glamour it on to. Specifically?
So is there no orchestrion sheet for the song that plays for the False Idol :L
It should be one of the possible scrolls that drop at the end of TPB
There are like 8
But only 3 drop per run, and it's random.
No the only ones are "Song of the End" "Song of the end 8bit" "Mourning" "Emil (Depsair)" and "Kaine (FFXIV Mix)"
Kaine plays during Her Inflorescene
Hang on, let me confirm which song plays during the first phase of that fight then.
I've looked up each of the names and none of them match False Idol's
Is that possessed by disease?
I think you might have got it in the quests leading up to it or something
I dont think so since we get that from the quest before unlocking TPB
Lemme check if so imma be hype af
yeah, but it’s the same music I think?? Get back to me on that
I remember also liking first phase music
sounds same to me, from listening to the automata ost
and I think that was it
Yeah, I knew it was one of the scrolls you could get. I just didn't have a specific recollection of what the song sounded like.
Had to go listen to it.
hehe
My lazy ass didn't bother listening to them because I was like "THeres no way they'd give us orchestrions for a song that plays in a fight we haven't done yet"
can someone give me an estimate on how much gil i need to save for housing? something like a really fleshed out L or M plot
They were really good about making all of the OST available through some method.
It’s cuz I’m pretty sure it’s base nier music
At least 300M
min plot price for mediums are between 16-20mil, larges are 40-50mil
lol

i would say aim for mediums because trying to get larges are basically impossible
thats way more than expected
The plot alone is a big investment, but then fleshing out the house and getting all the furnishings is even more.
an apartment is 300K
the cost of decorating the house itself though is going to vary depending on whether you've got crafters leveled or not
being able to make your own housing items will reduce cost significantly
Yeah but you can decorate a house slowly over time
Because some furnishings can run you into the 10s of millions
and you don’t have to worry about logging in it maintain it
The true big purchase is the plot itself after that you can either craft the furnishing or farm it
I'm still trying to figure out whats selling right now I wanna upgrade to a medium 🥲
alright thanks
Actually heres a question, whats the main thing to look out for on the mb to start making some gil
Tell me your secrets capitalists of FFXIV >:)
basically look at the sales history of items. see whats selling consistently. can also give the "heart" items a look see
But funny enough for me
since those are items people have put on their wishlist and keep an eye on
Thats what I normally do but I always get that one person who undercuts me every other minute for 3 days straight and I don't feel like keeping up with that
What does this mean? I thought marketplace is world wide https://i.imgur.com/pfmyBEa.png
Uh, different tax rates
your retainer can't sell items while you're interacting with them
so they're not visible on the market until you stop interacting with them
oh taxes
When you summon a retainer who is actively selling items, they temporarily pull your items from the market.
Does travelling between areas reset the Mana on RDM?
Yes
Yes
Changing areas resets all stackable resources for all classes.
You can check retainer vocate for tax rates
that message has nothing to do with taxes though
I for one don’t know shit
And lilies and ast seals and aetherflow and kenki 🥲
Aight, ty
any type of class gauge resources gets wiped
not me not being able to think of a word other than resources
I miss when you could travel to the city state and item was being sold in and it didn't deduct taxes fro myou 😦
Sorry got pulled into a run Im trying to use the Thyrus as a glamour and have it on any weapon that I've equipped, right now that's Ingrimm
Uhh, I'm not 100% sure on this but I don't think you can glamour over a baseline Ingrimm relic?
You can, I used the Makai WHM wep over Ingrimm for a bit
there's no reason why you wouldn't be able to glamour over ingrimm
You're probably trying to glamour Ingrimm on Thyrus by accident? You rightclick Ingrimm and press cast glamour and not rightclick Thyrus
@buoyant sorrel Are you using the glamour dresser to do so or manually casting it?
you definitely can, I did so when i didn't want the tree
Ingrimm is the Bozja relic weapons thing in the line
I know what Ingrimm is.
I thought that the base relics couldn't be glamoured over.
But Kael said I'm wrong on that.
So that's not the issue then.
Anything can be glamoured over
@open coral I currently have the BLM Relic glamoured over
But there are restructions
That's when I thought i might need the Thyrus Repclia to use for a glamour instead
If you're manually glamouring check to see if you some how accidentally put a glamour onto Thyrus
Would playing on the server with the xp boost ruin my first experience? The game recommended it to me but i'm not sure
Honestly I'm 90% sure I'm right here but yeah a screenshot would prove it
does anyone else know what this problem is and how to fix it? i re-downloaded ffxiv through the free trial page in order to reinstall it, and after i sort english in language and region, it doesn't move. it flickers and doesn't do anything
Nah honestly recommend getting that bonus, it's just so helpful
@patent shuttle You'll be overleveled but it other than that not really
You'll be overlevelled if you only do one job. You can level other jobs to soak xp
Not at all. It will make you level a LOT faster, and you'll be well above the quest levels for the entire MSQ, but it won't ruin the experience in any way.
Ok thanks :)
It can help if you choose to swap classes in the middle of your MSQ so that you dont get level locked if you find out you enjoy a tank class more than lets say a dps or vice versa
I'm using Discord mobile atm and it's buggy af adding photos and attachments im soryy for all the confusion
Oh my God you were RIGHT..
O.O I'm an idiot soryy everyone T3T
It was the only logical explanation given the error you had thrown at you once you said what weapons you were doing
F
Thank you, and sorry 🙏

There are servers with exp boosts? Can you world jump to those?
Sad
Just got the leftside gear at the end of the role questline, what's a good way to pick up accessories?
In my short experience its either dungeon drops or player market
Can you use ARR hunt currency for ishgard?
No
Sb and hw hunts share currency though
oh ok
Arr and ShB have their own currency
Eureka question: i tried walking past a sleeping dragon with stealth enabled and it aggro'd on me??? Does stealth just automatically trigger the dragons? I was walking at like half speed thanks to the ability, which shouldve let me slip past it.
is 2 star ground speed same as flying speed?
Are there some parts of story more important than others? Im trying to get into the meat of the game so im wondering what is skippable/what shouldnt be skipped. I mostly pay attention to the instanced stuff/actual custscenes.
!faq mountspeed
nothing should be skipped
It's all important really and it's not very easy to neatly mention what is less and more important
Flying IIRC is just still slightly faster but it's fairly close
oh ok
Idk I recall delivering tea to lookouts. I am a servant and not the protagonist. Unless there was some huge meaning behind that I missed.
youre going to be doing that throughout the entire story
Is there an accessory equivalent to the lv80 role gear you get?
important part or not
the accessories from the first few 80 dungeons drop accessories of the same ilvl but no there is no just easy grab for accessories like there is actual gear
Idk some of it seems worth sitting through more than others. It already takes long enough to get caught up with story. I am nearly double my current story missions lvl req.
I found the job questline more interesting than some msq stuff
Dungeon farm it is, thanks!
then pick up another class
Honestly that seems true
Msq only really got interesting nearing the end of arr
Okay well I shall lead into my next question with that. If I want to play dark knight as main tank job, what is a good starting job choice? Glad?
Would anyone who's played on some different Crystal Data Center servers have info on what each server is like? The only people I'd know I could play with are on Balmung but it's likely not going to be easy to create a character there.
any class
ARR is a lot of world+character building.. you can prolly skip most of the fetch stuff like tea and such but generally speaking...your first playthrough maybe you should attempt to appreciate it, it gets way better after post-arr
Yeah I have a hard time slowing down and appreciating small story moments. I generally try to eat up an entire as fast as possible. Speed run to end game and beyond. I guess that's my issue
I skimmed dialogue on most fetch stuff
Also like, what you're doing now does actually have a purpose and like, who the fuck gives a shit who you are? Gotta be nice to people to get information from them
even the small stuff, like tea or wine or grapes can play a role in story eventually
speedrunning to endgame is how people get burnt out
Yes it is
ffxiv isnt like other mmos where there's like endless endgame or whatnot to grind tbh lol
i havent seen a single person who rushed to endgame play for more than like a month
Idk im coming from guild wars 2. That story doesn't take very long AND most of it is presented during gameplay such as fighting dialogue.
yep
This game is like the exact opposite of that.
meaning it is VERY VERY story heavy
final fantasy title first, mmo second
Story takes a long time.
Oh my bad my bad my only other final fantasy was 15 and that was half baked
with a lot of dialogue

eck
Yuck
15 was only good at the ending
Yeah it was stinky
one of the worst FF games
^
Only good part: Flying car.
play a good one like X
Thats it
that's in ffxiv
I despise noctise so much
the regalia
yeah yeah just had to add plz play X is good
Shallowest RPG i've ever played
Yes they said so
yes tahmeed
What ehat
no date mind you
¯_(ツ)_/¯
but soon™️
I hope I don't miss it
it's speculated to be within this content lull before EW but..who knows
Hope It's before EW
EW is far
it's very likely
They might give us an event date or at least a timeline during FanFest in a few weeks.
How can I skip story
not promised, but very likely they wouldnt take thunder from EW
Buy a story skip
There's no button.
😦
You have to pay to skip.
Why the hell is arr so long
if you skip it then you wont understand any other expansion
because the devs made it that way
You also lose your free fantasia
ARR is long because they needed an entire base game in order to continue funding the project beyond 1.0
I can skip cutscenes
Not stories
Unless you buy it
How will I become a catboy like half the playerbase 😂 . joking relax
Just watch the stories
Trust me it gets good later on
Bitch please it's all catgirls
Or you'll get lost and won't connect to certain characters
Oh yeah wrong gender
Catbois are an endangered species
Curious because post arr is almost as long as base arr. and I’m starting to lose my mind
You'll get a free fantasia after ARR story
No it's not
You can be a catboi then
Ok half then. It feels like it
Catgirls and bunnies to be exact
they even nerfed it by a third of the quests... it's long but trust it gets worth it
What do Goldsmiths make?
Arr patch is admittedly a slog. The finale is amazing tho
precious metal things
Jewelry and fancy/intricate weapons like rapier and astroglobes
yep, it's the longest by a lot
I’ve been told that but I honestly don’t think the ending to that story or the prelude to hw is going to make it worth it for me. Especially since I’m here for raids and dope ass classes
ARR killed most baddies in meh fashion tbh
Starting out I was like "Cool im a novice adventurer!" and then they told me to deliver doughnuts or somethin
patch ARR has like, the most amount of plot it's absurd though. SO much shit happens in there it's kinda unbelievable and it's all mega important
At this point #general-discussion
then dont play the game i guess
yeah but raids and dope ass classes dont go away or anything either, the game is balanced around a casual playerbase because that's 90% of them
My bad I started this wave of text
Is there a trick to spawning pazuzu in anemos
This will be my final warning on the front of take it to #general-discussion before I start bapping peoplinh
Or is it random
1 year ago there was a button to convert equipment with 100% spiritbond to materia. it is gone?
its called extract now
Pazuzu is spawned at night if his window is open
thanks
the gear isn't destroyed int he process any more
you don't destroy gear in the process now and what Kael said
He has a window?
Yes
!pazuzu used to be a command
Gear used to be destroyed for extracting?
Yes if he was killed recently there is a respawn timer
ah yea there it is
Ohh
ye it sucked
yes it did, ziel
what? continuous extraction of materia? cool
I need to be atleast element lv 19 to get feathers?
essentially yep
Wew thank shiva they fixed that
Every time you get your spiritbond to 100% yes
Yeah it's surprising how many shitty elements were only removed relatively recently
When does anemos story ends
Like when can I progress to pago's
At what element lv
check #resources for the eureka discord, they have hella info
Its recommended to stay in anemos until 25
17 is the final quest but....its generally recommend to stay til 25
Why
because pagos is annoying as fuck
and you make your life a bit easier going in later
Oh
easier to transition into pagos
Pagos has a lot of higher level stuff
I see
mobs in anemos are low and you can still do the challenge log
cant remember atm but pyros is 3rd area followed by Hydatos
I'm sure this has been asked quite a bit but have they ever said anything about working on Hrothgar/Viera models so that we can put more headgears on?
So pago's is third area?
No
Second*
pagos is 2nd
Not specifically.
pyros is third
Is there a list of uh.. "features" that were added sorted by patch? Like, when which dungeons/raids/trials were added.
anemos > pagos > pryos >hydatos
Is pyros the one with the bunny fates
is the order of the zones
oh
The duty finder segregates stuff by expansion
pagos has bunny fates as well
!faq contentunlock @jolly sorrel
Damn. All I want to do is have my Hrothgar wear a top hat ):
There's even a faq, nice. Thanks
I got SAM and RDM, is there anything else you unlock at Level 50?
Honestly it's a pretty low priority kind of thing, but if they do make modifications for Viera and Hrothgar to wear helms, it wouldn't be in the run up to a new expansion.
I mean, like, any other Jobs
ah uh not til you reach ishgard
DRK is 30 right?
Technically all of hw is level 50 content but you can't access it til you finish the arr patch content
it starts at 30
Oh! Wait, no, that's a lie. BLU also becomes available at level 50.
Ye
Can't access the area it's in til you start heavensward
it doesnt unlock until you reach Ishgard MSQ so..well after 30 though
gotta finish 2.0 though
But you have to be at least level 50 for that 😄
So i've seen this a lot but I have no idea what this is, what do I do with this?
How limited is Blue Mage?
/lookout
yeah but you can be 50 and not do the MSQ Aura
these are Vistas for the sightseeing log
It's a sightseeing point.
Get to it and lookout to add it to your sightseeing log
means it's a locatoin in your sightseeing log
lol
oh.. thanks xD
what logos do you recommend for Bozja on a black mage?
Capped lv70, cant use duty finder without a full premade party, can only do its job quests for quests
I'm almost 15, but can't use lost flare
Flare star (or banner od Noble ends/Sacrfice) + font of magic with Skirmisher essense
Use auto ethers as well
Ah... that's a lot of limitations
As compensation for all that, BLU can use any learned spell in any level content, and have a buff to xp gains from killing enemies.
Which makes them incredibly OP with very little effort.
They have a few spells they can learn which are literal insta-kills.
and percentage based damage
Is scholar a good job for a new player w/ Arcanist role or should i focus myself on Invoker?
whatever you want, just appreciate that scholar is an entirely different role so would need to adjust a little to new responsibilities
I honestly wouldn't recommend either SMN or SCH for a new player, as both have a particular complexity to them, but neither is a bad job to play.
besides scholar and summoner share the same level so it doesn't really matter
ah?
honestly it's best in this regards for a new player because you're getting worked into it better
Because they share the same base class (Arcanist) SMN and SCH share experience.
They're the only two jobs that do.
do you know what drops the auto ethers?

lf first-hand yes or no answer, can you desynth to get celestial kimono remnants
How do you guys manage all these skill keys? So many skills and combos and etc.
controller or KB?
Kb
by rebinding hotkeys and rearranging hotbars
3 hotbars with modifiers
what is the process of buying a plot? do you just keep passing through all the plots in all the wards checking if any of them is empty?
And good hotkeys
Yes...keep checking then go camp an open plots spam buying the placard to see if its available
No. It drops directly into inventory
that was changed with 5.5
Is FF14 also add-on heavy like WoW? Any recommended add-ons?
and there's a few posts on the subreddit 2mos ago saying they got it from desynth
you can check which are empty from the teleport access menu - however that does not guarantee it is currently purchasable. nothing does that
addons are against ToS
and not necessary in the slightest
Oh?!
You can still use them if you keep it hush hush
if you need the equivalent of DBM to clear any content you're probably 90% root vegetable
Just don't talk about it ingame and you're good
!faq act
Advanced Combat Tracker (ACT) can be used to view and record combat in real time to see player damage, healing, etc. ACT logs can then be uploaded to FFLogs to compare your performance with other players.
Please note this software is technically against the FFXIV Terms of Service and should only be used for personal improvement. Mentioning ACT/Parsing in-game, particularly to harass other players, is likely to result in punishment against your Square Enix account.
why would a plot be empty but not for sale?
stealth timer. stops people flipping plots for gil
when a plot is relinquished, an unspecified amount of time must pass before it can be purchased
Which just means people camp in front of empty plots
i see
short answer, yes against ToS. However, they also can't know - they have no way of checking files. A good amount of people use ACT for parsing, and the visual mod community is fairly large
but it's on a strict don't-ask-don't-tell basis
admit to using mods/addons/parsers ingame and expect to be banned
I see
there are next to no functional feature addons though
I guess I will just find a way to key bound all these skills little better.
in the end all jobs need roughly 3 hotbars worth of space
there is like. 1. mechanic in one fight in the entire game where some people might admit 'yeah using a callout addon for this is basically fine'
just so you can plan ahead
Also modifier keys are very helpful
So you can reuse 1 as shift +1 or ctrl + 1
So I never did the coils of Bahamut, I just went to straight to heavensward. Is there any gear worth it theee? Or is it worth doing to unlock more stuff for the roulette?
Its not in any roulettes
And I’m guessing that part of the story is important cause it involves bahamut
And the gear it drops is outdated
If you're already in HW then there is no gear worth getting there
And judt glamour
The story wraps up 1.0 stuff
Oh and if it isn’t synced I need to be in a party but on trial I can’t use PF.
The story is by no means essential knowledge though
Oh well I’ll revisit it when I buy the game
Still, it gives some nice insight into certain characters
Most people just solo it once they hit 80
Ah
Is there a way to test ping on PS4 or would it be the same as my computer? I tested on laptop and got 68 - is that good?
It should be thr same as computer as its the same internet connection
68 is pretty good
if anything using wifi on your laptop gets you a slightly worse result
(assuming you do use wifi)
can you turn in these for GC seals?
Okay, cool. I’m on the East Coast and was just wondering since I know the servers as West Coast
Super noob in DoL and DoH. First time hitting >50 lvl do they get the equivalent Ironwork gears lvl?
I'm currently wearing grey gears
one blue mining pick
What's more important, Craftsmanship or Control?
CP
?
The third crafting stat, Crafting Points, the most important because it lets you use your abilities more
CP is more important
How long does it take to transfer a character to another server?
You only need as much Craftsmanship and control as the receipe calls for
You can't upgrade that with gear tho, can you?
you can with the accessories
also melding materia in the gear I guess if you count that
Yes
Anyone saw my questions?
fairly instant?
Usually not long
Tonberry/kuja for English people
All of them are pretty popular though, it has the most worlds for a reason
Do you just get Aldgoat skin by killing them?
How is Ninja class? It seems tricky with the combos to weave the signs and stuff
pretty straightforward actually
just gotta designate some braincells to remember the mudra combos
which are not weaved anymore
They are just straight up gcds
yes have fun making them extinct
Hehehe
also shit like this is why retainers are nice, you can send them out to fetch materials for you
saving yourself a lot of effort
^
realllllly recommend getting on that sooner rather than later
@glossy flare ah they revamped it? I must have been looking at an old article
maybe, mudras aren't ogcd anymore, just a really fast gcd
Wayyy better
That’s cool I might give that a shot too. MCH is cool too though I’m so torn and not enough time in the day
and they changed the potencies to compensate
speaking of retainers, i was actually able to get a glowy weapon from a quick exploration venture (the auroral set), which i didn't thinnk was possible
Starting race’s base stat difference makes any meaningful difference in the end? Like a race with low dex end up becoming dex class would be suboptimal or something?
To summarize NIN's feel at 80 though: Basically everything revolves around the trick attack window that comes around every 60s.
In that window things are pretty fast paced since you cram as much dmg as possible in there. Outside of that window however you mostly just do the basic 1-2-3
race doesnt matter
So it has a sort of up and down feel
That’s nice though sometimes
racial stats dont matter
only gear stats
Instead of feeling pressured with 100% uptime
Got it.
And needing to stay super focused
The racial stats are 1-3 stat points where we have currently hundreds
I mean hitting the basic 1-2-3 outside of the TA window is still crucial
in endgame gear gives like, for example +500 strength, where your starting racial stats differ by as much as 3-4 at most
It's just not as fast paced with barely any weaving
Almost all the weaving is during TA
Lol. Got it. Thank you.
Yeah but that’s mindless so it nice
