This game is old and tons of stuff to do. So I didn't think I can catch up fast enough.
Nah most of y'all be OD'ing on this game homie no cap.
U hit the expansion zones pretty fast
Is it bad that I have 45 hours of play time in the last 4 days
I think you level very fast so you gotta do some alts if you want experience the game fully
but you don't save any money by buying the complete edition vs buying the base game and then buying the expansion sepeartely right?
No
@wheat lark I switched classes like 5 times and they are all close to 60 or over
Its the same price
Depends on you... Are you shamed about your time spent? Lol
Nah lol I have more than you. I've been OD'ing on a whole other level.
Intentionally
Depends? usually not but depends on where you get it from and stuff with deals?
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Well sales may make the prices different
If you find a deal on either combo, that will be cheaper
Before I started working more I had games in which I had 20k+ hours in lol
But typically complete is the same pricr as bother
So should I be ashamed
I see. I will look around for any sales.
@devout crystal I'd say play trial untill u hit the end game of trial and by then you will probably get a discount on expansions and stuff
Cuz apparently it happens sometimes
When they make stuff cheaper
I don't understand, why is the starter edition is on a price of 20$??
Isn't supposed to be a subscribe ?
U also get a free 30 days sub for buying the base
B2p with sub
I will buy the game the moment I hit level 60. lol
God it's a scam like you have to pay 20€ + 10€/month + the high price of the dlc
😦
Lmfao a scam
I'm dear
its common in like all other mmos
Dead*
its 60$ all together
Even world of Warcraft has the same thing
which is the price of a regular AAA game
never played WoW, only free MMO.
And their expansions are 60+ dollars sometimes
Call it what you want but this isn't the channel to discuss that
Free mmos are typically pay to win so u low money either way
However, if i buy a key in a shop, does it work if i put it on Square enix shop?
Lose*
You don't put keys in the SE shop, you put them in Mogstation. Two different things
Like if i buy the starter edition on G2A, can't i put in on my SE acc ?
Mogstation, the MMO account website and the SE store are separate
dont buy it from g2a
Dont buy from g2a
i mean the MMO account
Its a known key reseller
But yes you just put it on Mogstation, all keys go on mogstation
Except IIRC PS4/5
That goes on PS store
only if you buy ps4 digitally
if you buy physical copy you still would have to put a key into mogstation but regardless
everyone goes thru mogstation
I usually buy on Gamivo or Kinguin, G2A was just an exemple
neither of those are authorized third party sellers
Only buy from trusted thirs party sellers
and you're putting your account at risk by buying thru those sites
Which are ?
steam, greenmangaming, newegg
My SE account ?
yes
SE will ban your account if the key is found to be purchased with a stolen credit card
If they find out your code was gotten via illegal means, like stolen card
Insta banned
if you buy from an unauthorized seller and your key was found to be stolen then you will be banned
Immediately
How do you think they can sell things cheaply and turn a profit
they dont use their own money
Seems logic now i'm thinking about...
Anyway, looked on greenman, found the starter edition 10€ less than on the website, look much better
and more interesting aswell
why can't i see who has aggro? 😮
because theyre not appearing on your screen
like, i'm not looking at them, or because there's too many people and they don't exist for me
btw once the game is bought, how do you repay every month ? You have to go on the website ? it's automatic ?
you can make it automatic or not
Do people hate Dun Scaith? I have not done and have been trying for days to get a run in lol 1hr+ q times
I want to do it because I want to see all raids but it is it even worth it?
It’s old content also it’s annoying at times
And slower than other alliance raids so
Aight
Compared to the free trial, instead of the PVP and the lvl limit, what does the starter edition offer else ?
Hello. Doing my first savage run (E9S) and there seems to be a lot of focus on animations, but with everyone on my team's ability, it can be quite hard to see if she's glowing vs. the orbs, etc. Is there a camera angle trick or sth I might be missing?
Access to expansion content beyond Heavensward and full access to the market board and various social features of the game.
Is it a pre req for any future raids? Or if I skip will it not matter so much?
Starter edition
Oh, right. Starter.
I didnt realize this was an option. Awesome, thx so much!
Everything I said except content past HW then.
No, dun scaith is the final void ark and ends that series
Starter edition just removes trial limitations
That's it
Starter edition doesn’t have Gil cap
!faq freetrial
It removals all limitations listed above
i see, is there a 2 authentication system ?
any way to remove this part of target line?
where do i put it on ?
mogstation ?
What is the market board ? sorry for all the question i have
@abstract vapor no
thanks
"Free Trial Players cannot create or join a Free Company during the Free Trial."
Oh well guess i go buy the starter right now. FFS...
They're a social thing
i mean, it's better if i want to play with people
Espacially for roleplaying cough
And whatever two buffs they're running
rewards for hunts are based on how much threat you did, right? so as a DRK should I spam Bloodspiller/normal rotation or keep spamming Unmend?
@abstract vapor You can't get rid of it, but you should be able to move it as a HUD element.

and so, how do i enable the 2AF system ?
Where do you buy Glamour Dispellers in Ul'dah?
from your gc headquarters
well here we are, starter edition have been paid
I just did a dungeon, where I had to pay attention to different messages in the chat. Is there a better/easier way to get these messages? For mechanics
Those messages would also just pop up on your screen, not just the chat box
does it mean Heavensward is enable?
Yes
HW is part of the starter edition
depending on the mechanic and if you already know it, you can probably just see what the enemy is casting as well and just know what to do for the mechanic
noice
(but i'm still crying for help about the A2F system 😭 )
That's back in Limsa...
You could make them yourself but that costs money
Is SMN slow at lower levels? My DOTs takes forever to hit enough damage. And Ruin is too weak... I only picked it because of the white magick. :/ Considering changing to Thaumaturgh. I'm 17.
Roarich at Ruby Road Exchange also sells it apparently @onyx anchor
@limpid tartan https://square-enix-games.com/en_US/seaccount/otp/token.html
Welcome to the official SQUARE ENIX website. Find all the latest news and updates about your favourite games and upcoming releases.
all classes are slow at low levels and fast at high levels
Ty
dots tick every 3 secs
For me is better to spam Ruin than casting 5secs of DOTS (during cooldowns).
also summoner doesnt use white magic
Not healing and ress? I'm new to FF lore xD
they have a rezz but you dont use it unless its an absolute emergency
and their heal is garbage
theyre a dps
their job is to dps, not take care of the party
specific FF interactions aside, SMN does not use restorative magics
don't be deceived, it should never be used to heal anyone
if you want to use white magic then be a white mage
Cause physick does fucking 200hp out of 10k at 80
100k you mean?
If you want to heal as a Summoner, Scholar exists
Your dots take over ruin's damage if they're up for at least 9s in the early level...plus they buff Festers damage
Always have your dots up
How long does it take to get to floor 50 potd so I can unlock hoh?
Should you solo it? Or does the duty finder work well for it?
a matched party does decently, although florr 41-50 is a bit of a struggle imo
It shouldnt takr long unless you wipe cause people cant avoid obvious bad
lv 60 gear cost same amount of poetics as lv 50 gear?
yep
@modest igloo thanks
hey guys, idk how or why but when i open the map in bozja i can't see any fates/CE's or even my own party members. idk if i accidentally pressed something...
Are you zoomed in too far, maybe?
are the macros saved in the cloud with the character settings?
you can make shared macros
not zoomed in too far at all
what is A2F?
I think they meant 2FA
whoever though losing mettle was a good idea should be fired
2 authentification system
One of the little icons on the left panel of the map hides/displays certain elements like text and icons
While #rants would definitely be a more appropriate avenue for this, I will take a moment to point out that the xp loss system is fairly common in MMOs of Asian origin.
Even games like Everquest employ it.
In eureka specifically - are you penalized for partying with people that aren't the same level? What's the range of difference in party members before the penalty gets too severe?
Imagine thinking mettle is important lol
what does it do
It's like xp for Bozja
Lets you rank up in bojza
is there something like mettle for eureka?
Its kinda piss easy to farm
u need lvl 10 to keep going on relic quest so yes its imp
Anyone tryna craft me a black tanktop by any chance.
what's the name of the item
just buy it
I can't..
yes you can
can buy it from those 3 npcs
Maisenta?
the npc
they should be near the main aetheryte
where the red flag is
Have you done the quest to unlock dyeing?
What level are you?
just do the quest when you get to vesper bay
Lvl 26
So go to Vesper Bay and do "Simply to Dye For"
Color your world*
if youre on free trial you should also rank up a crafter so you can craft the dye
how long are dps queue times usually?
Oh, sorry, Simply to Dye For is a later one.
Okay, will do. Y'all know any pants that look similar or just like Cloud Strife's pants from FFVII?
depending on the instance/time of day, usually 15-20mins~
!iglam strife bags
damn, well guess I'm staying on tank and heal
unless you mean the other outfit he has
You can literally get Cloud's entire outfit for being subbed for... 6 months? I think?
hes got 2 outfits
Are there shoes that can actually tuck the pants inside them.
any shoes that cover the ankles
Cloud has 2 outfits? Which 2..
he has the regular outfit in the game and he has the advent children outfit
The one with the tanktop turtle neck??
thats his regular in game outfit
yes
I've never seen anyone with that outfit though.
Wait! I can become Cloud?
yes
Veteran rewards
Most active servers in Asia?
Can I become FF8 guy also?
Squall's outfit is in-game too, gunblade too
Squall? Yes
Cool
its a veteran reward
Nah so you're telling me I can get that exact same outfit of cloud in the picture I just sent?
no
Cerb was saying yes to Horan
Hey Chocobo fights with me?!? Holy cow! This is cool. He heals me. I am gonna 😂
So the strife bag pants are only obtainable by being subbed to the game for a specific amount of time. Are there any other look alikes that I can get without doing anything crazy.
Nvm then, it is what it is. Lol, bit of an off topic question but you seem to know every question in the world so here is one. Is FFXIII a story game or is that a MMORPG as well.
Only FF MMOs are FFXIV and FFXI
story definitely
Also story and MMORPG are not exclusive to each other
all final fantasy games are story based
well all the numbered ones at least
idk about the spinoffs
FFXI?? I've never heard of FFXI
#video-games-general if you want to discuss this more
can you not please, thanks
So uptight
Strictly moderated channel. No offtopic discussion allowed.
We have rules here, so yeah.
wow... why ididnt get my fete gift i did 6 points on the last one and then switched to a GNB and received no gifts
cos you switched to gnb
Because you swapped
Those are crafter gatherer events
Alright but it's a question like chill out it's not that deep, lmao. As easy as it is going to another channel as easy as it is letting a bit of an off topic question slide.
you need to remain as a crafter/gatherer to get the rewards when the fete ends
i would call bs but alright
I let the question go dude, and then politely said that if you wanted to continue the conversation to do so in #video-games-general
Do you think ishgard celebration will stop on 5.5 part 2 ?
No
doubtful
hey there demons, its me, ya boi
Ishgard restoration is permanent
back with another question
yeah but im talking about the celebration event
they might change up what kind of fetes are done
Its not an event
It's not an "event"
What channel do I go to, to ask about amaurot because I wanna learn more about it's lore.
just ask here and spoiler tag it
The fetes are literally just so those restoration fates dont go away

But that's because they weren't nearly as common as the fetes
Just correctly flavoured
So im currently doing the free trial on my PS5. My friend from gamestop managed to procure me a PS4 complete edition (bless him) even though the website didnt let me buy it. if i try to insert the disc to my PS5 will it just prompt me to link me SE account when i first log in to the game?
So if i do all 12/12 of them every time until they remove fetes will i be able to get all scrip mounts ?
if you have the free trial on ps5 then your ps5 should already be linked to mogstation?
They're not gonna remove fetes
Okay cool so when i put in the complete edition disc itll just download/unlock the Stormblood and Shadowbringers expansions?
SE doesn't do time limited content (outside of seasonal events/temp cross overs)
and convert my game/account to a regular subscription one?
probably
but they wil make a fete that doesnt say when its gonna pop
unlikely
a random one idk
Ok then i dont have to worry about the items on the vendor
cuz this is the only scrip farm i want and have and its easy
oaky cool ill guess ill see what happens once I pickup the game from him
for current relics is it only the 36x HW and SB 24 man spam you don't need to redo
Yes, HW/SB 24mans aren't repeated
alright thanks
Hm, I finished the hatching tide event for the chicken suit at least but
I don't recall getting the housing items..uh how do you get those two ?
those are bought from the dreamer next to the quest npc
I think I gotta find nonotta but I don't think I've got a quest active for it
oh did you not do the second quest yet?
Yeah I don't htink I did
nonotta is at the botanist guild
should i get the rest of the ironworks accessories or the armour?
ahh okay thank you !
should prioritize accessories since they are your lowest ilvl items
Replace your lowest ilevels first
aight i just need the ring now
Is there a hide headgear during cutscenes option?
there's a hide headgear period option
at the bottom of your character screen
the second icon from the left under your character
i don't think you can hide it specifically in cutscenes
Got it thanks
So which server has a lot of people day and night?
there will be no server that has no off hours
just by how they are organized by real life regions
Hmmmm
are there any allagan node types other than spherical, cube and egg shaped?
Are Alliance Raids good for Poetics?
In eureka if there's an NM much higher level can I still tag it for rewards if a group is fighting?
Yes...You'll get reduced rewards but still worth to take part
I got told off for being a new player that knows about lore in one of the expansions, how is that okay? Smh.
because youre actively looking up spoilers for yourself and ruining the story
Is it possible to marry in the free plan for the emote and hairstyle, immediately divorce, and much later marry someone else with a paid plan?
Why do you care though? That's the thing, me learning about lore won't affect you.
I just want the freebies, and later the option to get married again
Is it possible?
its not recommended for a new player to skip ahead in the story, because this is a heavily story based game
if you want to look up spoilers then sure go ahead and do it
should be able to yes
but people in #archived-lore-spoilers generally dont like explaining every single thing that the main story literally tells you if you just played
tyty!
if its the one given for the unlock quest you'll just have to do it
Im trying to as well but it wont even give me the option or requirements to do them either
oh are you looking at the "leves of x" quest?
are you in the green circle and initiating the leve?
Did you accept an actual leve or a "Leves Of X" quest?
yeah...you're looking at the wrong thing
theres not even a initiation button
you ned to go to the bottom of the journal
the leve is separate
leves are in their own section in the journal
how do i remove them from the journal?
you can click abandon on the leve page iirc
because ive got so many new quests i cant accept any new ones with these obselote ones clogging it
I still cant find the abandon one on the leve page in my journal
can you screenshot
Press retry then it should br abandonable
i cant even try to do them, nor can i even abandon them
yes but the other one from what i screenshotted earlier has no buttons
like this one for example
Cause the leves of X aren't leves
because its tied to the leve
I talked to the leve giver and they didnt do anything either
That's just the quest to tell you to go do that leve
Because they're asking you to complete that quest
Which tells you to do that leve
alright lets see if it works
if there's a eureka NM train should I join it even at low level? They give less xp than regular mobs and the 3-4 I've tried haven'tdropped the protean crystals
I'd try to spawn low level NMs
Does Peloton and Gear that increases your movement speed in city states stack?
Not that i know of.
You got the Strider boots Knightshade?
No
I was just wondering, since there were a few gear pieces you get from Eureka NMs that increase movement speed in city states
What's the deal with exiting perfect balance now? If I exit PB with no LF, prior to the rework I'd just double DK, but now double DK gets me nothing, wastes me a gcd and also i don't crit my next boot. what do I do now?
The only one that increases it are the Strider Boots, it increases sprint duration by 10s to 30s.
And yes, it is from an Eureka Anemos NM.

yes, that's what i thought - however, i'm confused why in practice this does not work
unstanced DK followed by another DK does not seem to grant LF
DK is better damage than Bootshine stanceless
Guys as an elemental rank 37 should i keep doing pagos even if i finished the relic step or do i go to pyros?
Pyros
nook question, but on what do you type to change your typing from /say to /area or /shout
Start having fun with logos
oh its yell
And one more question: How many logos actions can i do with just the astral array? Cause i'm sitting at 24/50
isnt there an area shout too?
shout is zone wide
Non Marketable?
/shout is weird and won’t let you do it as a default chat channel
You can't permanently change to it
So you need to preface all text with /shout or /sh
oh it's not available on the free trial WHAT
That too
No
And one more question: How many logos actions can i do with just the astral array? Cause i'm sitting at 24/50
It's like 25/50 and then you need umbral array?
Feels like 30-40 talk radius
/say is people close to you
You can make all the actions with just one array
The umbral array just let’s you make two actions at the same time, letting you use both together
Is there a doc with all the combinations?
Website
man, i suppose i'll just go up to some randoms and ask if I can join them, feels so invasive Lol but I literally know no one who's playing on Odin
Same one that people use for NM trackers
Is it possible to do zurvan extreme solo as a gunbreaker ? I keep searching on youtube, no results. I keep getting my cheeks clapped by wave cannon
never mind, got my techs muddled. that wasn't my answer, but i found my answer
Probably not? GNB doesn’t have great sustain
Omg why is it so hard to target players on ps4/5 version of ff14
I might switch back to PC, this is unbareable
Left/right dpad and cycle...or virtual mouse
Ok but even if i superbolide , i won't be able to invuln it because the time its up for passes when wave cannon happens. While in wave cannon i cant press anything
Im guessing other tanks have longer invulns
Ahh thats how tysm, I was looking online and people were saying to to filters and character config, was so confused. It's still a little finicky
DRK/PLD arw both 10s of invuln
Plus the one hp superbolide wouldn't help even if i survive lmao
just to verify, the concept of Earth's Reply off of Riddle of Earth is dead and buried, right
Yes.
Riddle of Earth is basically a variant of True North now
Im confused, as bonus class i get more exp or those bonus poetics?
the top half is the daily roulette bonus
can someone invite me to the novice network please?
the bottom half is bonus for being the role in need
ohh great, thanks
Should I hold on to anemos crystals or convert them all into protean ones?
You'll need 99 for the last krile quest in anemos
gotcha, convert everything after 99 then 🙂 Don't I need 7 or 800 of the protean ones?
For relic stuff
yeah, that's all I"m in here for is the top level relic
sorry to be so noob at the ps4 version, but ive targeted someone, and hit x and it doesnt bring up a menu
can i not talk to others in the trial version
Hit square to bring up the dropdown menu
trying to send a tell
Not x
oh ok lemme try
You can't send tells in trial version though
No
join the novice network lol?
Someone who has a sub can invite you though
well this isnt a verion good experience of the trial, considering im trying to get used to the ps4 version but its finicky compared to pc
!faq freetrial
ive played up to some of the stormblood content so im not new but this ps4 trial is yea
Limitations are listed there.
ah cheers
You don't have a lot of access to chats on trial.
Bruh so i timed the invuln and i died when he smacks me into the ring of fire lmfao
That's just how the trial is designed
I'm confused though. You have the full version on PC?
Then you shouldn't be able to do the free trial on the same account on PS4
i'm not on the same account
well i say ps4, but im on the ps5 version, i set up a new account so i could experience what the new ps5 version is like
That's... gonna cause problems if you want to get the full version and use your main account on PS4 later.
i don't care about my other account
Ah, okay
i know it seems baffling but i love to restart and it's been so long that I planned to, my old character is kinda tainted, without getting personal its one i used to go on with my ex/old friends Lol
so i'm fine with never touching it again
i might just go back to the PC version tbh
theres just no comparison, an mmo feels right on PC
if you plan on getting a ps5, the ps5 version is great 🙂 i can run it better on my ps5 than on my pc
ahah thats why i'm trialing it, I got a PS5 a month ago and thought i'd give ff14 a go on it
but i'm struggling with the controls, i've never played an mmo on a console before
hm yeah it is certainly getting used to it
and always played ff14 on pc so this is like, feels odd
i could see myself getting into it, but most social features are restricted on the trial, i could play up to the duty finder and join one that way
you can buy both version, ps5 and pc, you can then play on both, thats what i did
i feel, if i find a good group on ps5, il lstay here
dont you have to transfer your character to the PC version?
well thats good to know
with the same account
oh wow
Its shared between
Most popular server in Japan??
ok i feel alot better now Lol, i didnt wanna carry on playing on the ps5 if id just stop and restart on pc
thats reli cool actually
i can switch anytime
yes but you have to buy it on both platforms
For english speakers Tonberry or Kujata
yea, im wondering where the hell my purchase copy was on PC, i cant remember where i bought it, thought it was steam, but its not in there Lol
Does those servers has Japanese people in there as well?
looks like i might have to buy it again
Is there a way to setup a waypoint ? if i have coords x y
twice on both
Of course, not to mention the data center at large
Hmmm I might transfer there.
Thanks for the information.
hey I want to start playing ffxiv but it keeps asking me for the registration code, not quite sure where to find that
(im not on steam)
Can you press next without introducing it?
nope :(
Sounds like you didn't download the free trial
!faq freetrial
tytytyty
Try that
what country are you from? each server has their own unique community, and draws players from certain countries more than others
Canada but I want to go beyond the community of my area.
take this as a rough guide
https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/bg78ct/a_comprehensive_server_guide/
Tonberry and Kujata, and more broadly the whole Elemental datacentre, is the English-speaking hub of the Japanese servers.
Interesting.
but in general most servers have pretty high english speaking populations tho, no?
Not in Japan, no
And I wouldn’t necessarily put much stock in that server guide
Individual server communities have mostly disappeared at this point
^ not to mention it'd be biased as fuck and also 2 years old
And that list is just some people sharing their anecdotes
Where do you sell this for 10k?
Very interesting. Thanks for sharing. 👍🏿
Means you buy it for 10k
It costs 10k
In a shop
ohh
Like I said, I wouldn’t put very much stock in this at all.
Still... it is a good ressource none the less.
try to sell it on auction house you could earn money
It’s not really...
says market prohibited so im guessing you cant put it on the market board
oh
That info is largely biased, anecdotal or completely useless and obsolete (stuff like “hunt community” and “PvP community” is completely obsolete and was even obsolete at the time that post was made. It’s all cross-server.)
or is the auction house diff?
another thing you want to consider is the market for that server.
since you can't travel to other worlds to sell stuff, you want to set your home world/server that has a seller's market
did you already put in your house ?
y’all I’m sorry to interrupt what is this called and how the hell do I get rid of it lol (the item things)
False advice like that isn’t helpful.
thank u !!!💕💕
Please do not consider it a resource there is no fact checking for the "information" listed there
Also @manic flare stop listing it as something people can refer to
my mp is 10000 lol is this a trial special
No
Everyone's MP is 10000
That's everyone mp
i dont remember it being this high
It's actually 100.00%
When you unlock redmage, at what lvl does it start?
MP got changed as a whole
The removed TP and fixed MP at 10000 back in SB

do a lot of people use a macro for salted earth?
Placement macros, yeah
i cant remember if people say always accept money from beginner quests or was it equipment
money or equipment?
Also for things like WHM's Asylum.
it really doesn't matter, but probably equipment
if the gear is better than yours then take the gear
cool thanks
it does matter
If you hit Gil cap since you’re on trial
You can usually sell quest gear on the marketboard for more than the gil value of the money reward tbh
i doubt ill reach 300k
You will just by doing main story
are you on free trial?
yea
300k very much is not a lot
he can't use MB anyway
you will will hit 300k cap in a month playtime
Ye I was going to bring that up before they mentioned 300k lol
You'll hit it just by doing the story
no you really have no idea, main story literally by itself gives you that much. More than that by a lot
maybe to me it always felt like you never get any money even by mainquesting, since id always spend it
on my old account
you get more from higher level quests obviously
msq alone gives you like a million
one leveling roulette gives like 10-15k on lower levels
main story quests
The story alone gives you a few mil
im quickly adapting to using a controller
and you if you try to level multiple classes, you will hit that 300k really quick
i remember ages ago when i was trying so hard to get to stormblood to play with my friends, then they patched it with all that extra

they were past it before the patch
you get so much free money in this game it's pretty crazy. that's why stuff on MB is so expensive
ah
because there's no gil sink?
Not just that its because people don't understand the market as well
Those gold mounts are meant to be one
They don't list things at fair/reasonable values
Ite only 75m gil sink
remember when old ff14 1.0 had collision detection on, the marketplace rooms was literally tons of people crowding round a single npc tryingto click on him
lol, only. how much gil do you carry?
ff14 1.0 was quaint, i played it
well I did say meant, to a dedicated crafter that's pocket change
Who is Solus Zos Galvus?
the founder of the garlean empire
but wherr im at in 4.4. Hes..... not old. lol
🙃
itll be explained
You'll find out why
Just do the MSQ
You'll see why just play
firstly spoiler tag thanks
hehe thanks
Don't worry about it smile :)
its bolus bos galbus, his evil twin
lol Cerberus

As a legacy member, the story is interesting.
Thats the point
you played 1.0?
you cant buy money in this game can you
not legally
Not without being ban hammered
what do you mean? like buy allagan coins?
I was there yes.... before the calamity.
like through an official in game store
no
No
Hi, just checking before I keep trying but
just curious
but does the floating NPC glitch still work ?
Tutorial for how to float NPCs at ANY height.
HUGE thank you to Mercy#0831 on discord for figuring this glitch out for us!
FINAL FANTASY® XIV: A Realm Reborn™
https://store.playstation.com/#!/en-us/tid=CUSA00288_00
ah so you are one of the lucky few who has a permanently discounted sub, among other benefits
Yup 😉👍🏿
Im trying to float a namazu mender
im curious, you don't have to share, but how much is the discount?
i think its like 11$ or something
5.5 fixed some collision related stuff so it might not be working or much tougher to do
Around that yes.
ohh noo T_T
damn that's like 5 retainers/month
I... don’t think 5.5 touched housing glitches
would any table work if the glitch still works ?
Collision stuff is how housing glitches work
The collison fixes were 5.5?
Yes
They said they would try to make sure housing glitches weren't touched but the overall update to collision may broke a few
The extent they were fixed isn't quite known
i dont understand, why dont they just allow floating in the first place?
It allows for more creative use of space
hm..I'm gonna try the glitch and if it works..I'll document it here
but if anyone else can get it to work, plz inform too thta'd be appreciated 😄
how do i hide ui for screenshots?
And it let's you do things that the furnishings didn't allow
scroll lock
you can also press scroll lock to make the whole UI disappear
cant i get myself to first person?
but the screenshots aren't as nice as they are in gpose
Home key is first person
they really aren't snack
gpose opens up filtering and lighting management too
oh i meant aren't
anyone know what this error is? https://i.imgur.com/IKcm0LV.jpeg
the video idea is basically..I just click Place from the storage , and after I click on the gender/namazu color, I cancel asap and if it works, the npc woud be on the table right?
I've been doing it and the namazu does'nt want to be on the table T_T
tried with other npc and not working either
either it's really hard to do or it doesn't work
it says that I am not eligible to transfer. What do I exactly really need to do to transfer to another server?
Are you:
- on free trial
- trying to transfer from a preferred server
- on a character created less than 90 days ago?
^
Nope.
@leaden ginkgo what's your current server
Unless. Do I need to remove some stuff? I am in a FC. My server is behemoth
Yes, you will need to leave your FC
you cant transfer if youre part of an fc
Ah! Allright thanks
You will also need to relinquish any property you own
757 gold, gonna be rich soon
guys where do you buy the "naked" armor skins again?
vesper bay
from the naked store
you should spend that all in the gold saucer csaino
Lol
thanks cerb
oh verper bay lol, with the chocobo ride
you can get there by ferry from limsa
but teleporting to mor dhona still easier
Are there any achievements attached to the firmament fetes?
Just one, for getting gold for 10 fetes
Which takes 2 sessions of fetes if you gold all of them
ooh the floating npc glitch works still yay
aren't Fetes here to stay permanently?
Yes
oh i thought they would only last a month :0
Why would they ever be temporary
Ishgard restoration is permanent
Everything about it (except the changing of the area with the build up)
its possible they may change up the fetes to be different activities down the road, so that there's variety in them
but yeah they're here to stay
you think the fete rewards will change?
probably add more rewards ye
Is there a way someone who didn't sub for a while can get free days? Someone said when my sub was active that i could return to the game for 3 days if i was away for more than month or two so how does that work?
If they do a callback campaign
they run free login campaigns every now and then
also callback campaigns
but those are the only times you get free days, and neither is currently active
I see. I'm fully aware of these campaigns but that person made it sound like it is something 24/7 active
Nope
So if I want to salvage equipment for materia l have to have a crafting class right? No way to salvage equipments to get rid of it?
What's a good YouTube channel for FFXIV story/lore? I'm finishing up HW and am kind of confused about some stuff, but everything I google just shows Shadowbringers spoilers
Its related to spiritbonding
Ethys asher is one of the main Lore guys
As long as sprit bonding is 100% any class can extract materia from the equipment?
Yes
are the fetes good for leveling DoH/DoL jobs?
If you have any questions can also just ask here with spoiler tags. Would be easier to get an answer than trying to scroll through vids
I like watching this guy:
Here I describe in completely accurate detail the history and lore of the Miqo'te in Final Fantasy 14. Did I perhaps mix them up a bit with cats? Nooo.... This is totally true.
Image sources:
Toxoplasma gondii

Cat images
https://www.reddit.com/r/MadeMeSmile/c...
doesnt exactly go through msq tho
Yeah those vids people recommended don't really talk about msq
just ask here
Oh I see. You can extract materia from equipment with any class after the unlock quest as long as the spritbonding is 100%. It is the insertion of the materia that require crafting skills. Right?
Only if you want to self meld
it requires a quest to unlock
The #archived-lore-spoilers channel also has some good videos pinned for MSQ
Otherwise NPCs will meld for you
not particularly, but it isn't 0 exp
Naturally need to unlock the ability to use said melders
Meld = inserting materia?
How do I unlock melding?
Complete Forging the Spirit (materia extract/npc melding) and Waking the Spirit (player melding) in Central Thanalan.
How can I get my gear melded?
To meld visible Materia slots a NPC melder in any major city will do (marked with a Blue Materia icon on the map). To overmeld gear you'll need to request another player to meld your gear or to do it yourself.
Why can't I meld this Materia to my stuff?
Every Tier of Materia has a minimum item level requirement that gear must meet to allow melding of that Tier. Tier 6 Materia requires an item level of 290 while Tiers 7 and 8 require an item level of 420.
Why is my meld giving +0 stats?
Every item has a maximum amount of stats that can be given through melding and the natural stats found on the gear. This can be seen at the bottom of the Materia Melding menu, as seen in the picture below.
The secondary stat with a higher number is already at the cap and cannot be further melded.

Guys. Windows doesn't let me type in Japanese in the game.
If I have no crafting class I can’t even get the melding unlock as a combat class right?
No
you can
you need specialized software to input japanese characters
Hmmm. I dont recall getting the melding quest. I will check back later.
Looks like I need DoH lvl 19 for the melding quest. No wonder why I couldn’t get the melding quest after the extracting unlock quest.
Yes that's for player melding
Spoilers until end of HW
||Okay, what exactly is Hydaelyn? Why did she choose your PC? What is the recurring cutscene with the 6 crystals in a hexagon around you?
Is Eorzea the continent, or the planet, or what?
Did the Garleans summon Bahamut? If so, why?
When you kill Nidhogg the second time on the bridge, why do the PC and Alphinaud throw the eyes off the bridge as opposed to destroying them or keeping them for safe keeping? They get retrieved like two quests later and given to an antagonist.
What exactly is the goal of the Warriors of Darkness? To get more primals so they can kill them to.... Do what exactly? To save their planet, but how that accomplishes that isn't clear.
For that matter, why are primals a big deal to the Scions? What happens if you just let them be?||
Forging the spirit is to unlock the NPCs
I see. I was so confused. 😭
I can type in Japanese but it's not using the romanji input. 😑
Eorzea is an area, specifically the continent of Aldenard, and the islands of Vylbrand and surrounding smaller islands
||What is Hydaelyn and why did she choose your PC - keep doing MSQ. That's explained... in Shadowbringers.||
hydaelyn is the goddess who gave you the blessing of light
eorzea is one of the 3 great continents
yes, the villain of 1.0 summoned bahamut because she was tempered, even though the other garleans were like "wow we shouldnt touch that"
because they didnt know better
||the warriors of darkness believed that by killing you, they could save their doomed world, because the ascians lied to them that it would cause a rejoining of worlds and work||
primals temper people, which is basically mind control, because primals require worshippers for power
yeah but she wanted to free him
yeh
free willy
Honestly a lot of the questions you're asking have been answered by the current point in 5.5
primals also suck the aether from the land
Primals also drain aether from the planet to sustain themselves
If you let Primals be, they drain the lifeblood of the world basically
Nevermind. Fixed!
also i wouldnt call tempering mind control...exactly
i didnt know how else to describe it
makes them overly fanatical to the primal ig
What does that mean?
primals require aether for sustenance
they drain aether to keep their form
the land is made of aether
Primals absorb huge amounts of aether from the world around them.
aether is the planet's life essence
Leaving them alone means they basically kill everything
it's kinda similar to the FFVII lifestream
Yeah but if they eat all the aether what happens
Interesting conversation I see here.
then
things die
the planets dead
I don't really get the stakes of anything I do
If the aether is gone, life cannot persist.
plants die, people die
we should be in lore spoilers but oh well
the earth literally dies
Aether literally sustains the life of the planet and everything on it.
This is perfectly fine place to ask about it because its really not going super indepth
if you wanna be a mod snack you should've applied
also you'll see a area in stormblood where the all the aether was drained
Any good lore/msq summary all the way to the most recent update? I prefer reading over watching youtube.
Why did the ||warriors of darkness think that summoning primals would save their world||
because the ascians manipulated them into thinking it
theres a document pinned in lore spoilers but it doesnt go up to shadowbringers iirc
||They were lied to||
I see
What is the cutscene with the 6 crystals you see a million times
Well no not entirely
it goes up to stormblood ye, but i think rommy intends to update once shb is done
there's some good pinned g uides over in the #archived-lore-spoilers channel
Your bond with the Crystals of Light
||also they didnt think that summoning primals would save their world, they just needed to create chaos on our world, which is what primals would do|| @tropic bear
What are those
The purpose of this document is to compile the story of Final Fantasy XIV so far for new players who wish to understand the lore but need more detail than the official website offers or players who wish to review the story quickly without having to replay or rewatch it. Final Fantasy XIV takes...
Thank you!
But you get the crystals when you killed certain bosses in arr, she didn't give them to you
thats basically how she gave them to you
you're less being given them
The Crystals are like... essences of the things you're doing? idk how to really explain them well.
and more earning them yourself
They're kind of a legacy thing that shows up in Final Fantasy games in general.
Okay, and what exactly do the crystals mean or do for you?
they mean youre a warrior of light
shadowbringers does cover the crystals a bit more
They bolster your blessing of light
Never played any other FF
What does that mean
what msq are you on?
kinda like divine protection
that only goes up to storm blood tho
Basically, in Final Fantasy games, the Warriors of Light, the chosen warriors who are out to save the world, are given the Crystals of Light to show that they're heroes.
Also why did you just||chuck the eyes of Nidhogg off the bridge instead of destroying them or holding onto them||
The Crystals bestow blessings on them that make them harder to kill.
It's a little twisted but essentially ||by forcing the primals to summon primals and ultimately creating a calamity/rejoining in doing so they would rejoin their world to ours and in doing so everyone on their world will die but their aether and souls will like, become one with ours. A fate better than total complete annihilation in all respect. Their plan was to never save their world in the traditional sense because they believed it was impossible, it was more to give it some sense of living on||
people in the lore-spoilers are hard at work writing the ShB lore guide
||last person who held them literally turned into Nidhogg. Also worth mentioning below the bridge is a constant storm of aether that no living thing could survive really||
also if you did the keeper of the lake dungeon it tells you more about the crystals
||yeah holding onto the eyes any longer would be detrimental and no one expected a bunch of ghostly beings to collect the eyes in an aether storm||
there's a lore explanation, but really it was for the sake of story
I'm away from my comp ATM but I just had the cutscene where ||the Asian gives Griffin the eyes of Nidhogg that you needlessly got rid of||
Last person who held both, why not destroy them or separate them
I do think at this point though, if you need more detailed answers its probably best to head to #archived-lore-spoilers
Who was a lady(?) at the cut scene of “the house that the death built”? I died to level 10 boss and kinda ditched that dungeon. But very curious.
||Under the bridge was a extreme aether storm of ice and wind no human would survive, it was the safedt option||
Is there a way to find out what hairstyle I have and do not have? Is the one with blue icon next to the hairstyle?
Do the level 50 quest to unlock Tam-Tara Deepcroft (Hard) and run that dungeon.
Where does it tell you that? Basically assumed it was a big ravine
The lore for PotD starts there.
||theyre eyeballs carrying a fuckton of aether in them who knows what would've happened if they attempted to stab the thing right then and there||
Oh cool! Thank you.
It's here and there
They mention it at some point during that sense i think
But its mentioned
Almost like a passing comment
@viscid fossil the aesthetican shows you which hairstyles that aren't default you currently own. they have like a little blue icon on them
!faq hairstyles
I think this might be the first time i've seen Vinyl Tails comment on lore
have to save this for posterity
has a list of available hairstyles so can check against this
Also that's a good point- wouldn't ||keeping the eyes mean you could kill Ascians pretty much at will? Seems like a really moronic decision||
no
I know lore
Vinyl comments on lore sometimes. Usually they do it in the #archived-lore-spoilers channel though.
To a point
||killing ascians requires specific things||
Play this game long enough, and everyone picks up a bit of lore here and there.
I know, just never seen you talk about it, ever, until now
Rommy's the real expert though.
Btw, red mage. Fun? It's a balance of magic and melee right??
didn't Rommy leave again?
most of the time you're going to be casting. melee is not very lengthy compared to casting magic
RDM is a caster that happens to have a melee combo
also in regards to the crystals you have, ||there is that one scene where midgardsormr stabs you and your crystals go gray, so he basically suppressed your blessing of light and you could barely hear hydaelyn, and then you needed to regain your crystals so you could hear her again||
Thank you @twilit arch
oh she is still here
RDM is mostly a caster class
the melee combo is jssut for artistic style
Interesting.
are there any optional dungeons between level 35 and 41 that I may have missed?
yeah i have qarn, was just wondering since i dont want to do it until 41
i'll look up how to get cutters
its in ul'dahs market area
anything to do with duplicate triple triads cards or discard only option ?
Sell them to the gold saucer
sell them to the TT vendor in the gold saucer
Fpr mgp
thx
Was there a level 49 dungeon that later got axed
I am lvl 40 as a marauder and can’t find the job quest. I guess it’s because I am not at level 30 msq yet?? I wanna be a warrior. 😦
sylph management is lvl 20 main scenario quest
that said, your warrior quest will be at the marauder's guild in limsa, so if you dont see it there then yeah you need to progress msq if you've completed all of your marauder quests
are you sure you just didnt equip your job stone
