"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.

remote lintel
#

if trial players cant buy something then it should say so on the store page

remote lintel

remote lintel
#

#

After placing a flag on their location

frozen wind
#

leaden hedge
#

@remote lintel Gotcha, so with the complete edition it had codes to use for the expansions?

jade quartz
devout crystal
#

If I die, do I have to run back to where I die or something??

frozen wind
#

if I cant even use the coordinates 😦

#

if you die you respawn at your home aetherpoint

remote lintel
#

@leaden hedge not sure about that

tame elbow
#

Under your minimap there's an XY of where you are

stiff skiff
jade quartz
frozen wind
#

ahhhhh

#

jade quartz
#

Shows coordinates where you are/where you mouse over

#

Ctrl+right click on the map to set a flag.

stiff skiff
#

What are the green circles you see on the map.

#

I'm searching around but it doesn't let me interact with anything.

remote lintel
#

faint flare
#

You probably have a leve

#

In that area

stiff skiff
faint flare
#

Via the journal

remote lintel

sterile mauve
#

might be a dumb questions but do the bozjan earrings affect how much exp u get from skirmishes and CEs?

#

lapis lagoon
#

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?

twilit arch
cloud lake
#

And in those cases, no shortcut

twilit arch
#

the stormblood and shadowbringers ones, yes correct

hollow briar
#

lapis lagoon
sterile mauve

remote lintel
#

potency is only a general indication of strength

livid oriole
#

if i unlock a hairstyle from the online shop, is it only usable on one character or throughout my account?

twilit arch
#

the character you unlocked it on

solid fog
#

How do some titles appear below the name and some above

remote lintel
#

depends on the title

sterile mauve
#

the titles have different orders

solid fog
#

Oh wow now i get it

#

the title goes together with the name

#

"name"-> the destroyer

twilit arch
#

you can tell whether the title is going to be above or below character name. ...<title> is below. <title> ... is above

solid fog
#

Amazing -> "name"

#

it hass

#

3 dots

#

"Shadowbringer"->Name

polar hound
slate arrow
#

assuming you don't skip and account for queue times? like, 10-15 hours, maybe.

open ember
#

Post SB is long

#

Even if you ignore optional content

modern kiln
#

has anyone submitted a support ticket with a different contact email than account email? does that mess up any potential help?

leaden ginkgo
fading aurora
#

@modern kiln it will probably make the process to getting something fixed lomger

#

Longer*

modern kiln
#

should I just make a new ticket with the matching email then

fading aurora
#

Try it idk , I don't message support haven't had any problems

polar hound
#

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.

ripe hound
#

Is there a list of all Bozjan actions?

polar hound
#

i'm sure the discord for it has something

ripe hound
#

Thanks!

leaden ginkgo
#

Can ||hansel & gretel’s|| bloody sweep mechanic have 2 swaps? (As in, resulting in the same safespot

little swift
#

if the swap is inside to outside then safespot is in between them

#

if swap is outside to inside safespot is away

leaden ginkgo
#

I know, just wondering if it’s possible to have 2 swaps as a bluff of sorts

little swift
#

no

#

it shouldn't be doing that

fading aurora
#

What time do roullets and stuff reset

unborn geyser
#

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?

modest igloo
#

yep

unborn geyser
#

Ahhhh

delicate field
#

Worth it lol, don't wait to buy the game

#

It's many months away

unborn geyser
#

I maxed out on fishing and the 🚫 sign is taunting me..

remote lintel
#

the expansion is 5 months away

unborn geyser
#

aaaaaaaaaaaa

remote lintel
#

sounds about right

unborn geyser
#

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

remote lintel
#

same price

unborn geyser
#

ooooo

delicate field
#

50 bucks is it?

remote lintel
#

40 usd

delicate field
#

Oh ok

unborn geyser
#

hnghn

vital ruin
#

Is the lv 80 white scripts crafter's set better or the one on the mb

#

Asthete something

modest igloo
#

yes and no

#

better ilvl, but without the abibly to meld its not as good as MB gear

jade quartz
#

Aesthete with materia melded is BiS.

vital ruin
#

Ohh

jade quartz
#

So no

vital ruin
#

Full aesthete or mix

jade quartz
#

Full

#

White scrip is poverty gear to bridge the gap to getting melded aesthete.

vital ruin
#

To make the expensive stuffs to sell on mb
I should buy the bis set then

hollow briar
#

Crystal a decent enough data center?

jade quartz
#

Or make your own. No biggie though. Only do it if you’re actually gonna go hard on money making

vital ruin
#

I c

modest igloo
jade quartz
#

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

hollow briar
#

Gotcha alright ty

hollow briar
#

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

warped nest
#

@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

vital ruin
#

Isn't Endwalker like 5 months away

warped nest
#

There is not much meat left on the bone anymore

#

Learning how to craft properly

#

And then gear up later in Endwalker

vital ruin
#

I'll take as much meat as possible

warped nest
#

Imo, is a better investment

vital ruin
#

What's the most expensive crafted glamour atm and how much is it

earnest wraith
#

frontier

warped nest
#

I assume it will be the hades crafted weapons

vital ruin
#

Anything that doesn't require trail mats

#

I'm done with rng

#

Trial

warped nest
#

All of the good one are RNG

earnest wraith
#

pretty much everything is cheap

#

if not relate to rng

#

:/

warped nest
#

Otherwise their price won't get jacked that high up

vital ruin
#

Anyway to make money via mog station?

warped nest
#

Nope

earnest wraith
#

uh... you can but not worth

#

allagan stuff can sell to npc

#

it's official RMT way

#

xD

vital ruin
#

How much

warped nest
#

Lolol

boreal storm
#

RMT illegal

earnest wraith
#

you can buy job skip / msq skip

#

and get free allagan to sell to npc

#

but

#

it's not worth

warped nest
#

Just say no

earnest wraith
#

unless u are rich boi

warped nest
#

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

earnest wraith
#

ye

warped nest
#

Or you grind Gil from crafter, then buy them from marketboard

earnest wraith
#

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

hollow briar
#

Uh. Does character date of birth change anything?

#

Does it mean anything?

leaden ginkgo
#

Nope, just flavor/RP reasons

hollow briar
#

Gross

#

Kk

#

Patron deity?

#

Same thing?

leaden ginkgo
#

Pretty much

hollow briar
#

Disciples of Magic are which jobs?

#

Conjurer is Scholar and Summoner?

eternal musk
#

arcanist to summoner/scholar

#

conjurer to white mage

#

thaumaturge to black mage

hollow briar
#

Ok ty.

lethal mist
#

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?

jolly sorrel
#

GMs can recover important lost items, if necessary

lethal mist
#

Not important enough to cry about I think seen as how "a little gil" solves the problem but still...

jolly sorrel
#

Do you have the "prompt rare items on discard" setting turned on?

lethal mist
#

It prompts me 99% of the time so I would think so but maybe not

#

Where's this setting btw?

fading helm
#

why are a lot of the minions called like wind up

#

are they toys?

lethal mist
#

Well that's 300k down the drain. At least I don't have any need for gil atm so it's fine

jolly sorrel
#

I.. hmn. Can't find the setting, only one for prompts when selling items.

lethal mist
#

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

wispy falcon
#

Anyone know what to check on Windows if the game is lagging but packets and speed are fine?

lethal mist
#

They can also sit on your shoulder

fading helm
#

i thought they were real

wispy falcon
lethal mist
#

Server that is far away?

azure hound
#

How do I un register an aetheryte as a favored destination

earnest wraith
#

You can change your inventory settings to keep recent obtained gear in inventory instead of Armoury

lethal mist
jolly sorrel
#

I think you can only set a different one as your favourite, "replace it" as it were

hollow briar
#

So uh

#

Are there no sliders with character creation?

jolly sorrel
#

Considering you say your internet is fine

hollow briar
#

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

finite topaz
hollow briar
finite topaz
#

Heck, on PC you just press ESC to locate them

hollow briar
#

Like sound settings and so on

#

Effects etc

fading helm
#

nooo my friend quit ffxiv ) :

#

he got bored of it lol i keep telling him to just go through ARR but oh well

jolly sorrel
#

Check the System submenu

jolly sorrel
#

It has Character Config and System Config

fading aurora
#

Do I need a certain gear level to enter potd lvl 11+

#

Says I don't have enough strength

remote lintel
#

you need aetherpool

finite topaz
#

you gain by doing PotD

jolly sorrel
finite topaz
#

Pick up the silver chests

fading aurora
#

Does the gear have aether in the name?

shut panther
#

No, it's literally gained from chests within potd

#

It's not "gear" per se

jolly sorrel
#

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.

hollow briar
#

Any setting recommendations?

fading aurora
#

Oh I know what u mean now

#

But don't need it on both arm and armor?

#

Do I*

jolly sorrel
#

Silver Chests randomly upgrade either weapon or armor

#

And you need both of them to meet the requirements

fading aurora
#

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

shut panther
#

Correct

fading aurora
#

Ok thanx

fossil bloom
#

Hey

#

I don't know yet how Hrothgar naming is

#

A slavic name like Vladimir is fine for a hrothgar?

remote lintel
#
onyx anchor
#

What happens if you try and change class in a Dungeon? Like, SAM to RDM?

jolly sorrel
#

Nothing happens.

remote lintel
#

you cant

onyx anchor
#

Ah, ok

#

I was curious as I kinda wanted to see what RDM was like in a Dungeon and then switch to SAM

fading aurora
#

Guys I can't find the outlandish man, and I'm at the exact location

#

Any idea where he is

remote lintel
#

did you already pick up the quest

fading aurora
#

No

#

I don't think so at least

#

@remote lintel I just looked up the quest chain looks like I did it already

onyx anchor
#

hm

#

Is the first RDM quest as hard as the first SAM quest?

hollow briar
onyx anchor
#

In game

hollow briar
#

Can't find it

remote lintel
#

click and drag the corner?

onyx anchor
#

There's a thing in the corner of the chatbox

hollow briar
#

Thank you

#

Noob ok

#

Hush

#

Am learning navigation currently

#

Which is uh...slightly tricky for a noobie

onyx anchor
#

Did ya find it?

hollow briar
#

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

remote lintel
#

controller only shows 1 hotbar at a time?

jolly sorrel
#

In your System submenu you can also find HUD Layout

#

that allows you to move, resize and hide any number of hud elements

ivory jolt
#

Hey is there anything that I should be doing before I hit heavensward ???

hollow briar
remote lintel
#

the crystal tower quests

little swift
#

!faq contentunlock

zinc orbitBOT
hollow briar
#

We do not have the same setup pc uses where it's stacked hotbars

remote lintel
#

yes, it's not showing you 10 cross hotbars at a time

hollow briar
#

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

remote lintel
#

what tael said

#

system > hud layout

slender sphinx
#

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

remote lintel
#

your target

jolly sorrel
#

It increases healing received by the target.

jade quartz
#

^

#

It also works on ogcd heals unlike many healing buff skills, so it can be pretty helpful.

slender sphinx
#

Ah I see, thanks!

fading aurora
#

How long are average ques for labyrinth of the ancients?

jade quartz
#

Quite fast. Slower if you’re a tank.

fading aurora
#

I've been in que 15 mins as dps

onyx anchor
#

What's the Cape Westwind skill level restrictions?

jade quartz
#

That’s a normal dps queue for most content yeah

modest igloo
#

#

fading aurora
#

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

modest igloo
#

its wednesday

jade quartz
#

Err, it’s synced to level 50 if that’s what you mean

fading aurora
#

I have no work tomorrow

jade quartz
#

The same can’t be said for most of the playerbase

modest igloo
#

not the rest of the playerbase.

fading aurora
#

I'm so close to level 60 and idk what to do to speed it up

jade quartz
#

But you should still be able to get lota to pop

fading aurora
#

Do you guys know any ways to go from 58-60 fast?

#

In like a couple hours

modest igloo
#

not at your msq

jade quartz
#

Done your daily roulettes?

fading aurora
#

Yes

#

But apparently they reset at 10am

#

Which is weird

jade quartz
#

Then run the Vault or PotD floors 51-60

little swift
#

10 am reset isn't weird

fading aurora
#

I need to farm the other potd levels to get there

jade quartz
#

Also Vanu Vanu and Vath quests

little swift
#

It lines with 12am jst

modest igloo
#

they are in ARR

fading aurora
#

I've never seen a reset that late, it's always been 00:00-3am

jade quartz
#

..... then you don’t need to be level 60

little swift
#

Which makes sense for a Japanese published game

fading aurora
#

@jade quartz I Wana play dancer lmao

little swift
#

And weekly reset is 3am for us

fading aurora
#

So I was looking for ways to hit 60

little swift
#

Just wait a couple more days and do it through roulettes

jade quartz
#

It would be painful as you don’t have access to content that level. Just wait

modest igloo
#

it would literally be faster to go to sleep and do roulettes tomorrow

fading aurora
#

A couple days???? I might just buy the level booster theb

#

Then*

jade quartz
#

No

#

Two days at most but probably less

onyx anchor
jade quartz
#

Get on at a busier time and progress PotD or do PvP

@onyx anchor I've done msq I'm stuck in ancients que

jade quartz
#

Don’t spend 16 bucks on this, seriously

glossy flare
#

you are in post-ARR msq from the sounds of it where msq does give less xp

jade quartz
#

If you do only roulettes then two days at most, if you do the other stuff then a matter of hours after roulettes reset.

glossy flare
#

So once you hit HW you will notice things picking up again

#

really fast at that

fading aurora
#

I'm getting like 7k xp per quest which is nothing when u need millions

glossy flare
#

see above

#

post-expansion (or base game in this case) quests are always low on xp

modest igloo
#

well, thats what happens when you try to rush

glossy flare
#

because when they were current content they were not meant to level you

fading aurora
#

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

slate arrow
#

so instead of 1 every 5 minutes, it's closer to like, 10-15 chances a minute

#

(assuming you do the fast farm method)

brave vine
#

Fast farm method?

slate arrow
#

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

brave vine
#

You can have two parties?

slate arrow
#

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

brave vine
#

Sooo

#

You don't need to finish skirmish?

slate arrow

Just mobs?

yes

Ohh

I meant Bis

ah

and no

Gotcha

glossy flare
#

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

strong saddle
#

For 60 lvl content at least?

glossy flare
#

or even slightly before that point

strong saddle
#

Yeah thats what I meant Shire gear

glossy flare

once you have access to Idyllshire

You don't just automatically get it, you have to buy it

not at all

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

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

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

gilded crypt

is it just me or are the fates in resistance remembers have lower chance of dropping memories compared to previous ones paissasquint

#

It's the 18/18 one right

gilded crypt
#

i swear i got a memory every fate in the last line, this time its like one memory every 4 fates

hollow briar
#

Hmm so first impressions

slate arrow
#

It's roughly a 20% drop rate give or take

#

Pretty low

gilded crypt
#

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

gilded crypt

slate arrow
hollow briar
#

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

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

leaden ginkgo
glossy flare

could level DoH/DoL

#

could do fates for various reasons

slate arrow
#

that's normal for tanks

glossy flare
#

hunts too, if they're not too high

leaden ginkgo
glossy flare
#

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

leaden ginkgo
slate arrow
#

tl;dr you get materials, you make shit, you turn in shit for an EXP reward

raw solstice
#

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

slate arrow
#

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

raw solstice
#

Just wanna make sure you're not missing those, since tank queues generally are quite fast

glossy flare
#

Yeah, it's also a good distraction from waiting on the queue to pop

#

Just roam around and collect stuff

leaden ginkgo
slate arrow
#

Yeah nah right now is just dead hours on NA

#

so if you want faster queues, prime time is like in 7-8 hours or so

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

slate arrow
#

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

gritty oracle

Yes, six crafts' worth of items to be precise. (For food f.e it'll ask for 3*6)

jolly sorrel
#

Perfect, thank you.

agile laurel
# leaden ginkgo Hello, I have just come across FFXIV and have been watching a couple videos on i...

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

agile laurel
#

doesn't increase mount rate, almost certain

#

orchestrion i can personally verify

#

mat seems about right

slate arrow
#

The drop rate is just stupid low and I suspect the RNG system they use is slightly fucked up in one way or another

agile laurel
#

that's news to me. in regards to what?

#

i have felt the droprate of emerald ex hasn't actually increased

rustic stump
#

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

pulsar escarp
#

That’s ridiculous but I think it’s just that horrible

warped nest
#

Nope

#

It's plain old RNG

slate arrow
#

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

pulsar escarp
#

Speaking of, what’s the drop rate for hades auracite? Same as dragons?

slate arrow
#

Basically you could get a string of successes and even more failures which averaged out to the percentages given

warm snow
#

No one knows specific drop rates for anything rng based

pulsar escarp
#

I got lucky last night with dragon but did five runs and didn’t see a single auracite

#

damn

slate arrow
#

I'm just being an armchair dev, we don't know exact rates or how the servers manage RNG yeah

pulsar escarp
#

It’s kinda painful though, I wish they’d tell us the numbers

rustic stump
#

I just wish with such ridiculous rng we could at least exchange totems for mount upon release...

pulsar escarp
#

I just want an auracite for the love of GOD... sob

slate arrow
#

but then you wouldn't have the prestige of being one of the few to have a mount early

warped nest
#

Then you lost the bragging right

warm snow
#

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

rustic stump
#

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

slate arrow
#

sadly, the only way to calculate the exact rates is to average out like, 100 runs of hades minimum

pulsar escarp
#

That’s probably accurate

#

... yeah

slate arrow
#

More if you want a smaller standard deviation

pulsar escarp
#

I got dragon two clears in but my luck is uh

#

Good?

quaint sequoia
#

Help me please 🥲

pulsar escarp
#

Haven’t seen an auracite drop in my life though

slate arrow
#

wow fuck you smh /this is sarcasm, congrats on getting your dragon so soon qwq

pulsar escarp
#

No I felt so bad

#

I didn’t even do that well, scuffed clear

#

I outrollef someone by one

slate arrow
pulsar escarp
#

But yeah I don’t know the RNG and I was really just there for mats

#

was hoping to get numbers but 😔

rustic stump
#

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

slate arrow
#

FFXIV is like Kerbal Space Program before they updated the physics, looking at it wrong can just make it go kaput

quaint sequoia
slate arrow
pulsar escarp
#

I would’ve stuck around longer if they didn’t disband

slate arrow
#

Ffxiv is a fickle beast

pulsar escarp
#

I mean we were mainly there for mats anyway

#

but uGH

slate arrow
#

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

warped nest
#

You need a massive sample size to definitively call it on the drop rate

oak ice
#

Yeah, 100 fights isn't close to a large enough sample size

Will I need to go over any sort of other FF games/stories to understand this one?

agile laurel
#

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

It's not declining

agile laurel
#

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

open coral
#

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.

#

thats crazy that they planned 10 years ahead. Makes me want to play this even more now lol

agile laurel
#

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'

pulsar escarp
#

only it’s very literal

open coral
#

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.

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.

agile laurel
#

ffxiv is at a perfectly popular time, it's ticking along extremely comfortably

#

especially with wow's recent dip, but that's another story

open coral
#

Honestly, the story planning is one of the biggest strengths of XIV.

green grail
#

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

glossy flare
#

True, there are always some loose plans

pulsar escarp
#

I mean you can write a story without physically planning it to take place over ten years

#

Pacing and writing might be different teams

agile laurel
#

that aside. the story cohesion is one of the game's strongest points

leaden ginkgo
#

I always heard FF games have some of the best story lines, theres just so many of different platforms.

pulsar escarp
#

cheer yep!

#

XIV is solid even for an FF game

leaden ginkgo
#

Apart from story telling, gameplay and fighting combat is smooth?

glossy flare
#

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

agile laurel
#

I'd say so, yes

open coral
#

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

agile laurel

The combat is pretty solid, what is really great though is the balance between the classes

agile laurel
#

and also some ideas

leaden ginkgo
#

Is there pvp in this? If so, how popular is it?

vital ruin
#

It's okay

open coral
#

There is PvP, but it's not really all that popular.

glossy flare
#

There is, but it's not popular at all

agile laurel
#

yes, and dead as dead can be

tacit terrace
#

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?

vital ruin
#

Popular? No

agile laurel
leaden ginkgo
#

What is the most popular thing to do?

#

How do i get to eureka hydatos?

open coral
#

Most popular is relative.

tacit terrace
glossy flare
vital ruin
#

There are lots

glossy flare
#

Be it raiding, housing, crafting or whatever

agile laurel
#

etc. etc.

open coral
#

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.

agile laurel
vital ruin
#

Mount farms. Raids. Glamours. Eureka. Relics. So much more

agile laurel
#

click a + and it'll register as cloud deck ex

open coral
#

What you spend your time on is pretty much up to you, as long as you've completed your msq

tacit terrace
agile laurel
#

from then on, click that to replace the markers

vital ruin
#

Can you just summon pazuzu anytime

agile laurel
#

gales, night

#

i believe those are the prequisites

open coral
#

Not at any time. Has to be during the right window.

whole wasp
#

you can prep for pazuzu anytime

vital ruin
#

What's the prequisites

agile laurel
#

during gales, at night, and obviously when its timer is back off CD

whole wasp
#

pazuzu only shows up when theres gale weather. You also have to kill some 20-ish ghosts monster in his cave

#

to "prep" it

vital ruin
#

I haven't seen a single spawn in my entire time in anemos

#

I c

agile laurel
#

ghosts
i mention night because obviously those are only there at night

whole wasp
#

the ghosts only spawn at night yup

#

but pazuzu can appear in the day

#

as long as the ghosts are killed the night before

agile laurel
#

yeah, if you do the prep killing at night it can appear in the day

vital ruin
#

So you kill a bunch of ashkins during take and pazuzu spawns?

#

Night*

agile laurel
#

in his cave

whole wasp
#

yup its those lvl 21 ghosts

vital ruin
#

Oh

whole wasp
#

and pazuzu will spawn in the next gale window

agile laurel
#

there are some orange kinda rave ghosts outside the cave where pazuzu spawns

vital ruin
#

What if I miss pazuzu

agile laurel
#

those need to be grinded to spawn him, just as any other NM

whole wasp
agile laurel
#

then, uh. tough shit? wait for the next window

vital ruin
#

Do I have to prep all over again?

warm snow
#

You can trade crystals for pazuzu feathers too

whole wasp
vital ruin
#

Oof

whole wasp
#

yea, nowadays people just buy his feathers

vital ruin
#

300 crystals for 1 feather

#

That's way too much

#

Especially since I need crystals for the weapons too

agile laurel
#

if you can't be bothered to stick around/prep pazuzu, it can be a decent investment

whole wasp
#

you'll get it eventually

agile laurel
#

you'll have that much by accident if you're on the nm trains

vital ruin
#

Nm is barely spawning today idk why

agile laurel
#

nobody is killing

#

nms do need to be spawned you know

whole wasp
#

could be a cleared instance. did you kill mobs to spawn the NMs?

vital ruin
#

Oh wait

#

They don't spawn automatically?

whole wasp
#

all the NMs have to be spawned by killing mobs

whole wasp
vital ruin
#

Ohh

#

I already finished my challenge log I don't wanna kill mobs for tiny exp :/

obsidian patio
#

all of them need to be triggered by killing their spawn

leaden ginkgo
#

The big question want to ask, is the game p2w?

obsidian patio
#

nope.

vital ruin
#

No

whole wasp
#

Nope

vital ruin
#

Not even by a slightest

whole wasp
#

i dont think its even possible to p2w

vital ruin
#

Nope

#

I tried MiqoteDepressed

obsidian patio
#

The closest thing to P2W that this game has is extra inventory storage and marketboard sale slots through extra retainers

agile laurel
#

it does also sell level boosts for jobs but uh

vital ruin
#

U can get extra fav tp via the app :)

agile laurel
#

it don't make you any fuckin good at them

vital ruin
#

Might make you worse at them :)

obsidian patio
#

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

agile laurel
#

note, retainers are unlocked as you advance in the early story

vital ruin
#

Will they ever expand the glamour dresser or plates?

open coral
#

They did expand the glamour dresser, not so long ago.

green grail
#

ask yoshi p

vital ruin
#

Huh

#

I am just downloading the trail right now. Is there a guide what to do after?
