@remote lintel Can you get me the limitations for free trial players, like the faq menu thingy? Sorry for the bother, just don't know how to do it myself
!faq freetrial
Ahh thank you
grinding is what makes obtaining the item more rewarding in the end
if you didn't have to work for it, you would be like meh
If you have the PS4 version of ff14 will the ps5 edition be a free upgrade?
yes
Alright awesome! Buying it now, no more level 60 trial cap haha.
So I accienatally sold my summoners loinclothe by accident for GC seals
i have heard people experiencing lag with the ps5 version though
How can i get it back again?
calamity salvager
i would ask around to see what ppl's experiences are with the ps5 version before diving in
It's smooth as butter for me, no lag at all since it was released on the ps5. Thanks for the help guys!
thank you cereburs!
"Free Trial Players can purchase select in-game items from the FINAL FANTASY® XIV Online Store during the Free Trial. Not all in-game items are available for purchase by Free Trial Players (e.g., in-game item gift codes)."
Bit confused here, so does this mean I can pay for my mount on the FFXIV store? It's not a in-game item gift code.
if trial players cant buy something then it should say so on the store page

If I buy a used copy of the complete edition will it still have all the expansions unlocked when I get it?
I tried /(x10,y8) but that didnt do anything
wym use coordinates
It's < pos > I think
@leaden hedge only the seller knows
I tried copying and pasting the claamity salvager locatioj
*location
and i wasnt sure how i can use it to flag mark
you cant copy paste coordinates outside of the game
<flag>
ohhhh
After placing a flag on their location
dang then now how am i supposed to find it then
@remote lintel Gotcha, so with the complete edition it had codes to use for the expansions?
Yes you can buy cash shop mounts while on the free trial. Forbidden items are, like, story and level skips.
If I die, do I have to run back to where I die or something??
if I cant even use the coordinates 😦
if you die you respawn at your home aetherpoint
there are coordinates on your map
of your location
@leaden hedge not sure about that
Under your minimap there's an XY of where you are
Thank you, that's all I wanted to know 😂. Tryna get that motorcycle.
Shows coordinates where you are/where you mouse over
Ctrl+right click on the map to set a flag.
What are the green circles you see on the map.
I'm searching around but it doesn't let me interact with anything.
levequests?
yes exactly
thats where you initiate the levequests
Select the leve in your journal and initiate
Got it, thank you
crystarium doesn't have a housing district does it
wish u could at least bring 1 person in ur inn
at which level do monks gain their
dragon ball
thing
They're all the same though so...
54 or so, IIRC
No they are not all of them have unique design
!action meditation
If you get an apartment you can let visitors enter.
And you can customize your apartment however you want.
Inn rooms are all the same, just depends what zone you're in
Everyones Chrystarium inn rooms are the same
one skill says u get leaden but theres no explanation to what it is
When will we be able to trade in our diamond totems for the mount 6.1 ??
What's chakra o_O
!action bootshine
O_o
It's an effect of a trait, iirc.
O_O
It’s part of monks gauge
what is the monk move called where the monk does a handstand and does a wheelbarrow kick in the air?
But your buddy won't respond to what server he's on..
Chakra is MNK's stackable resource.
What's it primarily used for tho? Some abilities cost chakra or?
@manic flare 4 point fury?
Yes, certain abilities use up your Chakra
!action the forbidden chakra
Delivers an attack with a potency of 340.
Can only be executed while in combat and under the effect of the Fifth Chakra. The five chakra close upon execution.
Shares a recast timer with Enlightenment.
※This action cannot be assigned to a hotbar.
uses all chakra
Btw,i got everything i need from gear with white scrips, what should i buy with white scrip ? is there anything important i need for crafts or something expensive mat to sell
Ok. So so many abilities create chakra and assuming stronger or just more important take it up
!action enlightenment
Delivers an attack with a potency of 220 to all enemies in a straight line before you.
Can only be executed while in combat and under the effect of the Fifth Chakra. The five chakra close upon execution.
Shares a recast timer with the Forbidden Chakra.
the forbidden chakra and enlightenment are your two chakra skills
Those two abilities use up your Chakra gauge to execute those attacks.
Ok so I can basically relate that to those who have played it. Warriors or Valkyie's in Tera
might be a dumb questions but do the bozjan earrings affect how much exp u get from skirmishes and CEs?
the forbidden chakra is the hadoken move ?
Stack a resource. An powerful ability takes that resource
Something like 5.58, based on 4.58
it's a move you can do in a city
thats the only move where monk does a handstand
Lazy way: whichever crafting materia sells the most
you can do four point fury in a city
it's neither tornado kick or 4point fury
isn't there a move where the monk spins their leg in a circle in the air, parallel to the ground?
6 sided star?
its 4 point fury
4 point fury is the only one with the exact animation you're describing.
it looks like this yes?
yes
then its 4 point fury
how do you do it in a city?
form shift
oh nice ty
So i went to the calamity salvager and for some reason
they dont sell the level 60 summoner caller set
is this supposed to happen?
yes
you get it from doing hunts
the 60 set was also a tomestone set back in heavesnward
so where can i rebuy the callers loincloth again?
forgotten knight
whats the npc name?
It's the Centurio Seal exchanger
yolaine
thank you!
if I see a gliderskin map and I don't want it can I still find a the other map I'm looking for if I decide not to pick it up
For the gathering job quests requesting n high quality mats, I'm assuming there's no real shortcut to gathering hundreds of times till you get enough?
yes, just go to the next node and hope its a zonureskin
cool
can just buy them off the marketboard if you dont want bother gathering
Some aren't tradeable later on
And in those cases, no shortcut
can i use level 50+ skills in level 50 dungeone?S
Can only use skills unlocked up to the lv sync of the dungeon
But still 😂
Thanks. As trial player can't use market either lol
do the bozjan earrings affect how much exp u get from skirmishes and CEs?
potency is only a general indication of strength
if i unlock a hairstyle from the online shop, is it only usable on one character or throughout my account?
the character you unlocked it on
How do some titles appear below the name and some above
depends on the title
the titles have different orders
you can tell whether the title is going to be above or below character name. ...<title> is below. <title> ... is above
Amazing -> "name"
it hass
3 dots
"Shadowbringer"->Name
Name->"of the sunless sea"
Cool o.0 many games dont do that

any place that sells cheap food so i can stack up?
and do I need any quest requirement to go to gold saucer?
How long will it take to finish 4.1 quests until Shadowbringers quest?
Complete the lv 15 “X Envoy” quest, pick up “It could happen to you” in Ul’dah
you can buy boiled eggs at vendors in limsa/gridania/ul'dah.. limsa is the most accessible i think
depends entirely on how much you play
assuming you don't skip and account for queue times? like, 10-15 hours, maybe.
Probably less, but there are some chunky cutscenes.
has anyone submitted a support ticket with a different contact email than account email? does that mess up any potential help?
Hmmm..... :
@modern kiln it will probably make the process to getting something fixed lomger
Longer*
should I just make a new ticket with the matching email then
Try it idk , I don't message support haven't had any problems
there's a lot of anti-fraud measures with SE so..prolly best you just use the account you need help on to submit tickets.
Is there a list of all Bozjan actions?
Thanks!
Can ||hansel & gretel’s|| bloody sweep mechanic have 2 swaps? (As in, resulting in the same safespot
if the swap is inside to outside then safespot is in between them
if swap is outside to inside safespot is away
I know, just wondering if it’s possible to have 2 swaps as a bluff of sorts
which vendor would have it?
What time do roullets and stuff reset
!daily
Why does daily reset so late
thats early in the morning for NA
you can eat 2 to stack the buff to an hour duration btw
damn thats awesome
So maybe a nooby question, but if I buy this current expansion, do I have to also pay in full for the new one coming in 6-ish months?
yep
Ahhhh
I maxed out on fishing and the 🚫 sign is taunting me..
the expansion is 5 months away
aaaaaaaaaaaa
sounds about right
Has the expansions always retained the same price or has it went up with each one?
I might actually cave in because of the level cap LOL
same price
ooooo
50 bucks is it?
40 usd
Oh ok
hnghn
Is the lv 80 white scripts crafter's set better or the one on the mb
Asthete something
Aesthete with materia melded is BiS.
Ohh
So no
Full aesthete or mix
To make the expensive stuffs to sell on mb
I should buy the bis set then
Crystal a decent enough data center?
Or make your own. No biggie though. Only do it if you’re actually gonna go hard on money making
I c
all of them are fine choices
Crystal is the roleplay community hub, and has a smaller raid community.
It’s a significant enough difference that if you’re dedicated to raiding I’d recommend aether or primal instead.
But it’s a fine data centre
Gotcha alright ty

Eh well starting because my buddy is on Malboro I'll just start here and assuming I enjoy the game I'll just pay money and swap shit that's fine
@vital ruin imo, since we are mere months away from Endwalker
You are better off getting whatever is cheap and reliable for now
And commit to crafting in lvl 90 endgame
And practice crafting while you are at it
Isn't Endwalker like 5 months away
There is not much meat left on the bone anymore
Learning how to craft properly
And then gear up later in Endwalker
I'll take as much meat as possible
Imo, is a better investment
What's the most expensive crafted glamour atm and how much is it
frontier
I assume it will be the hades crafted weapons
All of the good one are RNG
Otherwise their price won't get jacked that high up
Anyway to make money via mog station?
Nope
uh... you can but not worth
allagan stuff can sell to npc
it's official RMT way
xD
How much
Lolol
RMT illegal
you can buy job skip / msq skip
and get free allagan to sell to npc
but
it's not worth
Just say no
unless u are rich boi
Respectfully, I'd just say no
The only way to acquire most thing in this game
Is to grind it out, one way or another
To get EX trial materials, either you grind the trial
ye
Or you grind Gil from crafter, then buy them from marketboard
our FC has weekly Ex and Treasure map run
you can find any group that do sth like this
pf may be a bit tricky tho
mostly end up ffa
Nope, just flavor/RP reasons
Pretty much
Ok ty.
Well fuck me, misclicks do happen. I wanted to sortr but accidentally clicked discard,. Didn't really see what it was I discarded cause there was no prompt as there usually is. Turns out it was my Exarchic weapon >_>.
Why can't I discard old shit easily or give it to the basket but this can happen with 1 misclick?
At the very least, if it's on a set, ask first?
GMs can recover important lost items, if necessary
Not important enough to cry about I think seen as how "a little gil" solves the problem but still...
Do you have the "prompt rare items on discard" setting turned on?
It prompts me 99% of the time so I would think so but maybe not
Where's this setting btw?
Well that's 300k down the drain. At least I don't have any need for gil atm so it's fine
I.. hmn. Can't find the setting, only one for prompts when selling items.
Interesting, thanks anyway. I'll try to be more careful.
@fading helm well that's basically what they are really. Small toys that follow you
Anyone know what to check on Windows if the game is lagging but packets and speed are fine?
They can also sit on your shoulder
Wired or Wifi?
i thought they were real
Wired
Server that is far away?
How do I un register an aetheryte as a favored destination
You can change your inventory settings to keep recent obtained gear in inventory instead of Armoury
That's even worse imo. I hate when I'm full and it goes to inventory instead >_>
I think you can only set a different one as your favourite, "replace it" as it were
https://i.imgur.com/VBw3mvr.png
Task Manager is the default windows tool to check if your hardware is keeping up
Considering you say your internet is fine

Uhm
Really stupid question
Where the hell are settings located in the menu?
Because I'm looking and either overlooking it or I'm just stupid
Are you on PC?
Console
Heck, on PC you just press ESC to locate them
nooo my friend quit ffxiv ) :
he got bored of it lol i keep telling him to just go through ARR but oh well
Check the System submenu
Closing Chrome helped
It has Character Config and System Config
Do I need a certain gear level to enter potd lvl 11+
Says I don't have enough strength
you need aetherpool
aetherpool gear
you gain by doing PotD
Pick up the silver chests
Does the gear have aether in the name?
When you enter PotD, all your gear is automatically replaced by "Aetherpool Gear" for as long as you are inside PotD.
The only way to make it stronger is to open Silver Chests, or to beat 10 floors.
Any setting recommendations?
Silver Chests randomly upgrade either weapon or armor
And you need both of them to meet the requirements
Ok thank that's all I needed to know
Actually one more thing
Do I just reset untill I have the gear?
To go back to lvl 1
Correct
Ok thanx
Hey
I don't know yet how Hrothgar naming is
A slavic name like Vladimir is fine for a hrothgar?
In this post, we’ll be sharing with you the linguistic and lore-related conventions that dictate the names commonly used by the Hrothgar race. We hope that it will be helpful in naming your characters and developing a more complete understanding of the world of FFXIV!
Forenames
Hrothgar forenames are similar to old Slavic names, though certa...
What happens if you try and change class in a Dungeon? Like, SAM to RDM?
Nothing happens.
you cant
Ah, ok
I was curious as I kinda wanted to see what RDM was like in a Dungeon and then switch to SAM
Guys I can't find the outlandish man, and I'm at the exact location
Any idea where he is
did you already pick up the quest
No
I don't think so at least
@remote lintel I just looked up the quest chain looks like I did it already
You're helpful. Where do I go to make my chatbox smaller?
In game
Can't find it
click and drag the corner?
There's a thing in the corner of the chatbox
Thanks
Thank you
Noob ok
Hush
Am learning navigation currently
Which is uh...slightly tricky for a noobie
Did ya find it?
I did thank you
Another question. Is there a way to basically delete a bunch of the UI things or how to I get them not on my screen? Just make them smaller and throw them in a corner?
Since I'm on console like the hotbars 1-10 and so on
controller only shows 1 hotbar at a time?
In your System submenu you can also find HUD Layout
that allows you to move, resize and hide any number of hud elements
Hey is there anything that I should be doing before I hit heavensward ???
Controller has a cross hotbar
the crystal tower quests
!faq contentunlock
We do not have the same setup pc uses where it's stacked hotbars
yes, it's not showing you 10 cross hotbars at a time
I know but I'm wanting to move or get rid of all my all the UI customization I don't need/use like the normal hotbars and so on
If that makes sense
Point is. There's alot of stuff that is cluttering my UI customization menu
Does Nature's Minne only increase the healing actions of the party member it's placed on? Friend says it wont increase healer heals if placed on a tank
your target
It increases healing received by the target.
^
It also works on ogcd heals unlike many healing buff skills, so it can be pretty helpful.
Ah I see, thanks!
How long are average ques for labyrinth of the ancients?
Quite fast. Slower if you’re a tank.
I've been in que 15 mins as dps
What's the Cape Westwind skill level restrictions?
That’s a normal dps queue for most content yeah
Shouldn't it be faster for this one, I mean there's 15 dps slota
@modest igloo this is the time I game at lol
I'm a night owl
its wednesday
Err, it’s synced to level 50 if that’s what you mean
I have no work tomorrow
The same can’t be said for most of the playerbase
not the rest of the playerbase.
I'm so close to level 60 and idk what to do to speed it up
But you should still be able to get lota to pop
not at your msq
Done your daily roulettes?
Then run the Vault or PotD floors 51-60
10 am reset isn't weird
I need to farm the other potd levels to get there
Also Vanu Vanu and Vath quests
It lines with 12am jst
they are in ARR
I've never seen a reset that late, it's always been 00:00-3am
..... then you don’t need to be level 60
Which makes sense for a Japanese published game
@jade quartz I Wana play dancer lmao
And weekly reset is 3am for us
So I was looking for ways to hit 60
Just wait a couple more days and do it through roulettes
It would be painful as you don’t have access to content that level. Just wait
it would literally be faster to go to sleep and do roulettes tomorrow
Doing MSQs and Dungeons are a good way to get EXP
Get on at a busier time and progress PotD or do PvP

@onyx anchor I've done msq I'm stuck in ancients que
Don’t spend 16 bucks on this, seriously
you are in post-ARR msq from the sounds of it where msq does give less xp
If you do only roulettes then two days at most, if you do the other stuff then a matter of hours after roulettes reset.
I'm getting like 7k xp per quest which is nothing when u need millions
well, thats what happens when you try to rush
because when they were current content they were not meant to level you
I saw that potd level 1-11 gave me like 300k xp
I might just farm potd
And get higher
Oh NVM ancients que is up
Cya guys later ty again
by comparison the very first HW quest gives you 96k xp
For the answers
Just curious: How long did it take for you to farm all the lost finds in Bozjan?
Open question to anyone.
Does raf subscription reward count for multiple subscribers or only first one?
multiple
Is there a leveling guide for doh and dol? like an updated form of the leveling parts of this doc? https://docs.google.com/document/d/1L1aDMxZOjhdmzsilToDvsrwqfcUOs6NKxhsCBa1IwVQ/edit?usp=sharing

Quick query: Hiring extra retainers past the first free 2, are they account wide extras?
Yes.

that is outdated AF and the guy has actually been removed from The Balance and Teamcraft iirc
how do people keep finding this 
Oh okay thankyou!
Thanks :3
Navigation is gonna be the hardest thing to get used to
what is this? it looks like an aethercurrent but i have all of the aether currents for this zone
What’s the name of the music that plays throughout the last NieR raid? (Between bosses)
thats a sightseeing point
ohh ok
stand on it and type /lookout to register it in your sightseeing log
its usually /lookout but can be weird ones like /pray sometimes
Bit of a spoiler so in the WHM 80 quest, ||who was being mentioned in the second choice: the tale of a woman who flew in the face of everything... I feel bad but I can't seem to recall who it is ||
Henlo. Is it a diff color in every area? Also what colors per area
Never really farmed memories in bozja before
yellow bottom, blue mid, red top
they're all in the general drop table so you usually just get a party or two together and start chain pulling between two to all 3 zones

yes, but it's RNG more often + doing bozja content, which grants both clusters and Lost Action crystals
so instead of 1 every 5 minutes, it's closer to like, 10-15 chances a minute
(assuming you do the fast farm method)
Fast farm method?
having 1-2 parties spread across all 3 zones using lost slash with a reassembled machinist on max lost focus
basically one stops 90% of the mobs
You can have two parties?
you only need to have someone in the party to hit the mob to gain rewards upon defeating a mob
so yeah you just make 1-2 parties and split between the zones
skirmishes are the slowest way to do em lmao
yes
nah, memories are in the general loot table
there's specific paths to follow if there's particular lost actions or clusters you're going for though
I currently have one DoH and DoL jobs and I do my daily quest from my grand company to get alot of exp if I start another class will I have to pick one or can I do for each?
For the Grand Company delivery quests, you can do one of each
Thank you!
Can Augmented Exarchic gear be turned in for Eulmorian vouchers?
no
What's the sorta loot PoTD can give, if any?
variety of glamour sets, minions, a couple furniture pieces, a hairstyle
for 1-100 the hoards are usually fireworks, potions, sometimes a minion, samsonian locks hair is the rarest thing iirc, then 101+ you get the more lucrative stuff like crafted HW primal weapons, nightmare pegasus mount at 150+, generally more valuable stuff
!faq hairstyle
It's the Samsonian Locks
also weapon glams
Yes
Aint that specific floors?
looking like the ones you use in potd
Or random
It's split into brackets of 50
Ah
Eh that's cool but HAIRSTYLE
1-49, 51-99, 101-149, 151-199
hey, I agree 😄
Hmm
I like the red ones
yeah
for the resistance remembers quest line, how much memories do you get for alliance raids?
The glow ones make my eyes burn
They're Floor 50 or something, right?
1 per run
Least u have a constant night ligh
So (more sprout talk incoming) when u get to lvl 60 dont u get his gear at that moment?
Like bis
'His gear'?
"his" gear?
I meant Bis
Gotcha
You get your job gear via the job quests
which is... okay-ish
But once you beat the 3.0 storyline you can buy shire gear
For 60 lvl content at least?
or even slightly before that point
Yeah thats what I meant Shire gear
once you have access to Idyllshire
You don't just automatically get it, you have to buy it
Is it hard to get? Far as resources for it?
not at all
which gyr abania location has good fate farm route/clear
just costs poetics
And poetics are rare to get right?
nope
you probably have a decent amount right now
press ctrl+C and check your currencies
Best source of Poetics is doing the daily Roulette's.
There are a lot of sources for poetics so they are really not hard to come by
You basically get them by just playing the game
Most people did Lochs from when I did it.
Is the earliest a gatherer can go into the Diadem lv10?
Why is ARR so long ;-;
They cut out quite a bit already
Cause it's the vanilla game that has to get you 50 lvls, not 10.
eh, the expansions are kind of comparable in length though
yes
it's just post-ARR that is longer than the other post-expansion quests

what to do at lvl 70 (just started Shadowbringer) besides msq and roulette
is it just me or are the fates in resistance remembers have lower chance of dropping memories compared to previous ones 
It's the 18/18 one right
i swear i got a memory every fate in the last line, this time its like one memory every 4 fates
Hmm so first impressions
oof
Still better than running alliance raids 36 times

Like the game so far. Navigation between the menu's and controls on controller are a little weird
things we do for glam
Gotta accommodate a full "traditional" hotbar setup on a dualshock 4, it could be worse
I mean tbh...I still prefer Tera's hotbar setup
And it's not necessarily the hotbar thing
It's more so just in and out of menus and selecting things
But so far I'm enjoying the game. Got lucky and the server my friend plays on is an XP boosted server
I mean 2 and a half hours spent on the game but I got to lvl 13 which idk if that's good or not lmfao. But I was spending alot of time fumbling with menu's, getting lost on them and messing around with UI a bit
Still gonna need to figure UI's out a bit more. Where to place shit and what will actually be useful to see
New here, do I need to set my datacenter anywhere?
you can in #612757637813239808 , but it seems that you already have
JP datacenters don't have specific channels since the english speaking population on them is relatively low compared to eu/na ones
Okay so sprites spawn due to certain weather conditions in eureka
Does ashkins have similar criteria
Or do they only spawn at night
i believe they only spawn at night iirc.
Ohh nice
Whats the best way to level an alt (Without MSQ)
!faq altlevelguide
how many manufactured coin can i get every week?
ok thank you
Yes, just gotta do Seal Rock
It's one of the 3 pvp frontline modes which rotate daily
So the best you can do is just spam it when it's active
no, that's how it's always been.
I wonder as Tank, what to do when waiting queue dungeon? My PLD is lvl 51...but I noticed thats it is slower to find a dungeon then a healer but fastwr then dps... so I wonder what to do?
you wait in queue
There's always a universal healer shortage so there's not much you can do
Unless you want to spam palace of the dead like 30 times
but you know sometimes I could wait like 10-15 mins
that's normal for tanks
hunts too, if they're not too high
I really new with job I dont know how they work and dont know which one to do.
Ideally all of them at the same time
They all work into each other so doing it that way saves a lot of resources
They also share gear
So which one should I start? I mean DOL or DOH?
tl;dr you get materials, you make shit, you turn in shit for an EXP reward
Looks like you have both the JP and primal tags. If you're queueing for stuff on JP, make sure you have J selected in the language options. If you're queueing on NA, it's rather early in the morning so queues can be a bit long/weird anyways
I'd say DOL first, especially if you're on the free trial
Since you can't use the marketboard for easy access to leveling materials
Just wanna make sure you're not missing those, since tank queues generally are quite fast
Yeah, it's also a good distraction from waiting on the queue to pop
Just roam around and collect stuff

😫 thats true because when my time afternoon to evening, they all midnight I guess.
Prime time for NA is like from 2pm to 2am pacific time
Hmm...so btw can anyone share with guide of job like YT? maybe I should work on NA midnight.
😅
You mean like basic guides for specific jobs?
I guess...because I dont have anything open yet
just to be sure, you mean for crafters and gatherers I assume?
gathering...I love go around then standing and making like afk.
grab the doh role then and check the pins in #doh-dol-lounge
copy
Tl;dr the ultimate goal of dol and doh is to make High Quality products with as few High Quality items as possible. There's also collectibles which follow the same idea, but turn the Quality into a Collectibility stat instead of being a % chance to be High Quality
Do mission affinities make chemistries activate even if the requirements aren't met?
yes, the affinity makes it always activate regardless of the condition
ty!
Hello, I have just come across FFXIV and have been watching a couple videos on it to see if I would be interested. Could someone tell me a bit more about it in terms of player base and what I could expect?
I have never played a FF game before fyi
it's a final fantasy game first and MMO second, most of the time
You won't be regularly queueing for instances in parties unless it's for the story, and even then it's pretty easy for the most part.
a single player RPG with co-op dungeons
For the facet crafting quests, can I assume it will always ask me for six items? Doing some gathering preplanning
Yes, six crafts' worth of items to be precise. (For food f.e it'll ask for 3*6)
Perfect, thank you.
Compared to other popular MMOs such as WoW, the game is a little more weighted towards story and world building than high level group content. Not to say there isn't any.
Everything requires you to do the story, which is an easy 100 hours of playtime give or take in itself. The classes are pretty varied, and overall complex enough. The playerbase is also pretty friendly to newer players, albeit as a collective somewhat more casual than other MMOs
however, if you do have experience in other MMOs, if you go in expecting a story-weighted MMO you likely won't find a lot that will throw you off
pinned messages in this channel has some info as to what the classes, free trial, and advice for making a new character entail
Hey I have a question since I'm getting desperate. Anyone knows if running the minimum ilvl option increases mount drop rate? I've tried googling but I only see posts from 3 years ago saying it only increases orchestrons and craft mats but not mount
doesn't increase mount rate, almost certain
orchestrion i can personally verify
mat seems about right
The drop rate is just stupid low and I suspect the RNG system they use is slightly fucked up in one way or another
that's news to me. in regards to what?
i have felt the droprate of emerald ex hasn't actually increased
I'm 49 runs in, I've seen 2 dragons but ofc rolled stupid low and I've heard tales of people who ran it like over 140 times to get their dragon
So I was wondering if running min ilvl will prevent this fate
That’s ridiculous but I think it’s just that horrible
This is purely armchair developer talking with some basic knowledge of how normal programming languages handle RNG but I feel like it's somehow tied to server ticks because of how meld successes worked before they allowed you to mass use materia at once
Speaking of, what’s the drop rate for hades auracite? Same as dragons?
Basically you could get a string of successes and even more failures which averaged out to the percentages given
No one knows specific drop rates for anything rng based
I got lucky last night with dragon but did five runs and didn’t see a single auracite
damn
I'm just being an armchair dev, we don't know exact rates or how the servers manage RNG yeah
It’s kinda painful though, I wish they’d tell us the numbers
I just wish with such ridiculous rng we could at least exchange totems for mount upon release...
I just want an auracite for the love of GOD... sob
but then you wouldn't have the prestige of being one of the few to have a mount early
Then you lost the bragging right
This is just an educated guess but due to its length hades probably has higher drop rates overall seeing as it also gives 2 totems per run
Screw the prestige, I just wanna be done with that trial ;-; to get it you'd still need to run 50 times and it's quite a long fight
sadly, the only way to calculate the exact rates is to average out like, 100 runs of hades minimum
More if you want a smaller standard deviation
Help me please 🥲
Haven’t seen an auracite drop in my life though
wow fuck you smh /this is sarcasm, congrats on getting your dragon so soon qwq
No I felt so bad
I didn’t even do that well, scuffed clear
I outrollef someone by one
Restart your PC or just wait, there's not much you can do for directx errors tbh
But yeah I don’t know the RNG and I was really just there for mats
was hoping to get numbers but 😔
I saw first dragon around 8 runs in and person who looted it left after 1 more clear (mmmm party finder) and the 2nd dragon I've seen was yesterday around 47 runs in
FFXIV is like Kerbal Space Program before they updated the physics, looking at it wrong can just make it go kaput
I've already restarted my computer several times and it's been telling me that since last night :/
I guess you gotta reinstall then
I would’ve stuck around longer if they didn’t disband
Ffxiv is a fickle beast
For me, I got my mount at around 30 runs of titania and innocence respectively so that would put my average at around...5%, give or take a few percents.
Again, exact rates are dumb since nobody in their right mind wants to do all the runs for the math
You need a massive sample size to definitively call it on the drop rate
Yeah, 100 fights isn't close to a large enough sample size

Are the eureka fates down atm
I don’t know why SE doesn’t release the rates?
You might be in a dead instance
Dead instance?
Whats that
I've been waiting for like 20+ minutes there's not a single fate
when the instance locks and is effectively "dead"
Also a lot of people fate grinding left
They have a spawn timer that goes into effect after they despawn
But this is peak hours
Whether killed or fate time runs out
Where is the timer
do i have to do crafting missions?
only known on the server
Hidden, as with everything else
when leveling up e.g mining
Your class quests?
You usually know when the instance is locked when new people stop joining
And you'd have to ask for that particular instance's tracker
Is a respawn timer over 20 minutes?
Yes
1-3 hours, give or take
Fuck
no, crafting missions
I just need 9 crystals 
Levequest?
As in...your GC dailies? Be specific
He means the crafting job quests
If there's no weather involved in their spawn condition, it's 2 hours
I asked he said no
Oh fuck nvm
You can just leave and re-enter Eureka and hope you're dropped in another instance
Yes u need to do them
You fucking should it gives so much stuff
god dammit, so many quests ;D
Useful abilities like Manipulation are locked behind your Stormblood crafter quests
okay, thanks
If you don't want to cry. Please do them.
Also shards and crystals that you need to even start crafting and XP boosting items and materia
!trait quality assurance
just an example
!action Manipulation

It it quite solo friendly?
Oh yeah
Most story stuff is going to be fully solo
But there will be dungeons throughout it that queue you into 4 or 8 player content
With a matchmaking system so solo friendly there too
^
Dungeons are a necessity to advance the story. But they're no real challenge, and the rest of the story sequences are solo-oriented
Will I need to go over any sort of other FF games/stories to understand this one?
no
the game is full of clever little tongue-in-cheek references to other FF games, but nothing that doesn't make sense if you don't 'get' them
the FF series, by and large, occupies different narrative universes in each game
but effort is put into this game to ensure that the referential content stands on its own
actually, i would say the one thing that would be beneficial to understand is what happened to FFXIV 1.0
for long term. Is it worth investing a lot of time into FFXIV? (Does the game seem to be going down hill in any sort of way? Do you think the game will be here in another 5-10 years? etc
Yes
i believe the devs have a roadmap for 10 more years
It's not declining
and essentially, FFXIV 1.0 was a quite bad game, so the developers canned it with an ingame end-of-the-world style event, and it's useful to bear in mind that you enter the world 5 years or so after that
the current 10-year arc is ending next expansion and a new one is starting in the next patch after its release
They're getting set up to start a new long-term story arc in the upcoming Endwalker expansion, so I would say it's not likely going anywhere for awhile.
this played at the end of 1.0, it's worth checking out just to get a sense of context for where the game 'starts' now https://youtu.be/39j5v8jlndM
Witness the end of an era as the Eorzean Alliance clashes with the Garlean Empire in a bid to deliver the realm from certain destruction.
The saga will continue in FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn.

thats crazy that they planned 10 years ahead. Makes me want to play this even more now lol
if you're familiar with WoW Cataclysm it's a similar yet much larger scale of 'the old game was kinda bad so we blew it up and remade it'
only it’s very literal
Games like this they always have to plan that far in advance because it's a two year development cycle for each expansion, and if they don't know where they're going with the story, it gets disjointed and confusing for the players.
They didn't literally plan 10 years ahead, games like this are always subject to their own popularity
Though... no problem on that front. Game's alive and well
The biggest MMO I played back in the day was Runescape. I did play WoW but only for the free month and then didnt end up paying monthly. I am just looking for something to invest a lot of time in again. The last game I did that with was runescape.
ffxiv is at a perfectly popular time, it's ticking along extremely comfortably
especially with wow's recent dip, but that's another story
Honestly, the story planning is one of the biggest strengths of XIV.
maybe they didn't plan 10 years ahead, but they plan for the future while also looking at any loose threads from the past that can be woven into upcoming story
True, there are always some loose plans
I mean you can write a story without physically planning it to take place over ten years
Pacing and writing might be different teams
that aside. the story cohesion is one of the game's strongest points
I always heard FF games have some of the best story lines, theres just so many of different platforms.
Apart from story telling, gameplay and fighting combat is smooth?
Well on the bright side, FF games are rarely directly connected. You have the occasional cameo or reference but for the most part games stand on their own
XIV included
I'd say so, yes
Gameplay and combat is very smooth, yes. It starts out slow at early levels, but by level 60 or so all classes have smooth and unique-feeling rotations.
This person in anemos said he'll summon pazuzu in 37 min during the gale weather
How do you even summon him like that
you can get a small sense of combat gameplay from this https://youtu.be/k_vH-1WZQ3A

04:16 Samu...
The combat is pretty solid, what is really great though is the balance between the classes
and also some ideas
Is there pvp in this? If so, how popular is it?
It's okay
There is PvP, but it's not really all that popular.
There is, but it's not popular at all
yes, and dead as dead can be
I just cleared my first Extreme raid (Cloud Deck) and I'd like to be able to put down the waymarkers (on all 4 inner corners). What do I do to be able to do that?
Popular? No
you need to place them after the fight is cleared, before you leave
Most popular is relative.
ahh, is there a way to save them after doing that?
That is difficult to answer, there are lots of things people sink their time in
There are lots
same place as anemos but you gotta unlock it by going through all the previous zones and leveling up/doing the eureka storyline quests
you gotta finish the story for the previous 3 eurekas
Be it raiding, housing, crafting or whatever
there's a lot of things. some people spend all their time crafting/gathering, some spend all their time doing high level raids, some just run dungeons all day, some design houses
etc. etc.
XIV is a very PvE game, so there's all sorts of PvE type things to do, from high-end raiding to crafting and gathering.
on the waymarker placing UI, there's 5 slots below it for saving layouts
Mount farms. Raids. Glamours. Eureka. Relics. So much more
click a + and it'll register as cloud deck ex
What you spend your time on is pretty much up to you, as long as you've completed your 
amazing, thank you very much!
from then on, click that to replace the markers
Can you just summon pazuzu anytime
Not at any time. Has to be during the right window.
you can prep for pazuzu anytime
What's the prequisites
during gales, at night, and obviously when its timer is back off CD
pazuzu only shows up when theres gale weather. You also have to kill some 20-ish ghosts monster in his cave
to "prep" it
ghosts
i mention night because obviously those are only there at night
the ghosts only spawn at night yup
but pazuzu can appear in the day
as long as the ghosts are killed the night before
yeah, if you do the prep killing at night it can appear in the day
in his cave
yup its those lvl 21 ghosts
Oh
and pazuzu will spawn in the next gale window
there are some orange kinda rave ghosts outside the cave where pazuzu spawns
What if I miss pazuzu
those need to be grinded to spawn him, just as any other NM
gotta wait for the next one
then, uh. tough shit? wait for the next window
Do I have to prep all over again?
You can trade crystals for pazuzu feathers too
yes
Oof
yea, nowadays people just buy his feathers
300 crystals for 1 feather
That's way too much
Especially since I need crystals for the weapons too
if you can't be bothered to stick around/prep pazuzu, it can be a decent investment
you'll get it eventually
you'll have that much by accident if you're on the nm trains
Nm is barely spawning today idk why
could be a cleared instance. did you kill mobs to spawn the NMs?
all the NMs have to be spawned by killing mobs
Nope
all of them need to be triggered by killing their spawn
The big question want to ask, is the game p2w?
nope.
No
Nope
Not even by a slightest
i dont think its even possible to p2w
The closest thing to P2W that this game has is extra inventory storage and marketboard sale slots through extra retainers
it does also sell level boosts for jobs but uh
U can get extra fav tp via the app :)
it don't make you any fuckin good at them
Might make you worse at them :)
but by default you're given 350 slots worth of storage and 40 marketboard sale slots (AKA 2 retainers), which is usually more than enough for the average person
note, retainers are unlocked as you advance in the early story
Will they ever expand the glamour dresser or plates?
They did expand the glamour dresser, not so long ago.
ask yoshi p
Huh
I am just downloading the trail right now. Is there a guide what to do after?
!faq newplayertips
check pins also
They're so many glamours and only 15 plates 
Do multiple trick play from NIN stack?
No
Figured just wanted to confirm
Beginner guides
Most buffs of a shared name don't stack

yep!
