i mean you can save the currency but it wont be worth anything next year
Where do I go to purchase the replica? My weapon is currently the dreizack recollection-- the step after augmented.
no, the items are untradable
well
regena is the one who sells the replicas
this is useless to me then
I meant augmented law's order
I was able to purchase the recollection from her as well, thank you!
How do I promote to first lieutenant in the grand company? It doesn't give me any quests or anything to do
Squadrons
squadrons
squadrons
you need to get them up to a certain level which in turns ranks them up
once you hit a rank, you can get an upgrade
its not really that bad
you get people
you send them on a misson
you afk forget and check in the morning
they level up
profit
basically you do challenge logs to potentially recruit new people, once you get 4 you send them out on missions
its like a little more involved retainer ventures tbh
except they don't bring you back that great of loot :d
tbh im only doing it to rank up so i can hold more serpent seals
I used to be constantly almost capped on Serpent seals
So how do I check how many I have?

then i discovered people were lazy and would buy glamoru seals constnatly so now im almost out of glamour seals
*prisms
https://latetothepartyfinder.com/ffxiv-squadron-guide/ breaks it down pretty decently
hello, so i have a question, im doing anima quest 60, and the long phase where u need 4x10 item and 4x4, i have done that on my whm already, but im doing anima with pld, can i skip this or do i have to do all the farm with pld aswell?
You can see how many recruits you've got in your squadron room. they hang out there. on the table is an intractable which lets you see any new potential recruits you've got
for a new weapon, gotta start from the top
you have to do that stage with your paladin as well
@modest igloo what u mean from the top
like, from the beginning
does GC teleport reduction buff work in another world?
yes, relics are a grind. its what players who have done everything else do
Yes, as it's a personal buff which happens to overwrite the equivalent FC buff
@azure skiff gives capri-sun
i don't have anymore
I wanna become an arcanist. Where can i find it's guild? Ok used to be lvl 16 on arc, but then i wanna switch to spellcasting. I haven't played as a spellcaster for like months
Limsa
Are there any other means of storage besides the retainers and chocobo saddle pack?
Ooof is it far?
lvl 15 MSQ
Msq?
not really, you can by more retainers tho for cash
Main Story Quests
Oh ok
free company chest if you have access to that, but not very secure unless you're in a small/single person fc
Aw okay, Im trying to set up a system of organization for crafter and gatherer mats and misc items, just bits and Bob's all over the place
welcome to the crafter/gatherer life
It just reeeeally grinds my gears 😬 I gotta have a system or I might die
Hello. So this is a question towards healers (who preferably played WOW). I played a Discipline Priest on WoW and I want to try healing in FF14 as well. Compared to WoW Healers which class corresponds to which job? Or what makes each healer "unique"?
Mainly just resource management or if you like playing card games
white mage is straightforward reaction healing, scholar is proactive healing and leans more towards shields, astrologian can be both and also buffs party member dmg
you can level and play all 3 on one character and find what you like
also in this game healing is 80% dpsing
White Mage it's just straightforward healing, scholar leans towards strategic usage of aetherflow, astro is basically white mage with cards
you can do nier raid once/week?
For gear
You can obtain loot once a week
In the tower
Specifically, one piece of 520 gear
You automatically get materia and the coin on the first clear a week
so only one coin from each raid/week?
so loot = weekly for all raid, coin = weekly in tower raid
No
ONLY tower is limited
In coins and gear
Puppet and copied are unlimited on all fronts
Only current content is ever weekly locked
ah ok
Thanks for the answers. Other than healing I've been looking at ranged physical DPS, which of the 3 is the most "supportish"?
Dancer has the most buffs
Dancer, then Bard
dancer and bard
Machinist has like one support ability
what's third?DRG?
Dancer gives one guy a basically permanent 5% damage buff
And some better cooldown buffs
Lol, Dragoon is a melee dps, but it hilariously does have more support ability than Machinist (ranged Dps)
You can have 8 retainers in total if you by more yes?
10 iirc
ayep
Mobile app?
the companion app
The ffxiv companion app
where is hall of the novice
Near the inn of any 3 base game city states as well as near satansha
plus a few other low level dungeons
Fastest way to make money in this game?
playing the marketboard
im in limsa lominsa on a quest called "it's probably pirates" im near the ferry skipper
Or get into crafting and get really lucky
Look for the sprout symbol on the map, they'll have an option called halls of the novice or some
need to go to western la noscea then, which is the aleport option at the ferry skipper near the fisherman's guild
how do you get glamour prisms w/o the gc again...? i forgot xD
oh ok, i know what you're talking about
ok i just swapped from pugilist (lvl 18) to rogue, how do i level up now?
Hunting logs
!faq altlvlguide
You mean that 3.7 star app? I thought it was a scam or something, you can get a retainer through that thing?
if you pay for the premium sub yeah
Unless you're terrible with inventory management though you don't really need extra retainers
or you're an insane crafter
Its rated poorly because the app doesn't really do much
where do i get some exp buffs early level?
But you also get the /tomestone emote from it
the only real exp buff is the Brand New Ring from the Halls of the Novice
Yeah it looks real shady To me but I might just have a looksee
Its not shady its run by square enix
Your FC can also throw up up to 15% exp buffs
honestly, unless you're aiming for all 10 retainers, don't bother with the companion app
its just a meh functionality app
its 5$ monthly sub for the companion app, a single extra retainer is 2$
I'm getting close to it.. Lol
You can't use it when logged in since it's effectively a mini client on its own
Buy some boiled eggs jeffren
So it's semi-useless as a companion app when you're actually playing
I only have the app for the emote and the extra favored teleport
damn. i need help then

That sounds like a you problem.
so, quick crafter related question, does using stuff like Basic Touch effect anything when making materials?
step 1: sell literally everything. Unless it's immediately relevant, sell it.
Step 2: enjoy a cleaned up inventory.
Then get rid of the crafting materials is the first step
!action basic touch
i like the way alot of armors look in this game
i actually have very few mats
where do i buy foods for exp buff?
Quality increases your HQ chance upon completing a synthesis
Boiled eggs in limsa@terse kindle
A culinarian, usually in the shopping district of a city state
Sounds like a you problem then :p
i like all the sets u get from hall of the novice and from the ARR dungeons
Can always get thoseagain
Don't ping me, I literally can't help.
I need some help with setting up my hotbar
how do i queue for a dungeon?
im a dragoon and this is my f
sorry
@terse kindle at the bottom right hand corner
how am I supposed to progress in the story if nobodies joining my dungeon queue, it's been 20mins
are you a dps @brazen cypress
tank
What dungeon?
Duty (!) Button on your Main Menu in the bottom right or U on your keyboard, > dungeons > the dungeon(s) you want to queue for
^
That's normal for a DPS
theyre a tank
Dps queue times 
i dont have the duty finder option available
That's also normal for a tank, usually. Depends on the healer more often than not
did you unlock any dungeons?
Progress the MSQ more, since Duty Finder is unlocked when you unlock your first instance
i need help organizing my dragoon hotbar for my lvl 64 account
for which platform
hmmm but the leveling guide you sent me was saying to do dungeons but i dont have them available yet, what should i do than?
Controller or Keyboard
PC, this is my first mmorpg
Do your MSQ. the leveling guide is for subsequent jobs.
this is an alt
Alt jobs
alt jobs, not an alt character
Not alt characters.
and im kinda stuggling with using shift and or control to access the other hotbar
You have to be at least level 15 to use the Duty Finder...
!faq altlvlguide
This tells you what to do until level 15
Step 2 Have friend follow you around and 1 shot everything for you while not in a party that you tag all the way to level 10 or 15. Start in the area where your hunt log is so you can kill those too, or just have your friend help you with the first part of your log so you get the bonus exp. This takes 10 to 30 minutes tops. If you don’t have friends you get to do PotD for the next 3 hours or fates. ```
its for the 1-15 step
i have no friends.. T-T
then do what the last line says
do hunting log, fates, challenge log
or do your hunting log/fates in the zones
but ill just level up myself
That is what you're supposed to do yes
Woah this is a helpful guide, gonna save that thanks!
Is there any tank swaps for Diamond ex?
is 3% exp boost noticeable? for example on bdo you can get like 1200% exp boost so i wonder how's exp boost here
During lizard phase yes
Is see, just tank swap normally right?
Does coil flows represent encounter or area?
3% adds up
Encounter
Is there anything else other than the tank swap that I need to know to tank Diamond EX? Assuming I know everything I need to do as DPS
make sure to migitate the flare
Wait what Flare?
Oh, and keep stance on at all times
Nothing else of note happens other than lizard phase and the flare marker
The autos target 1 and 2 on the aggro table
Right, what was the flare again?
you can't miss it, it's placed on the 1 and 2 of the aggro table
No other mechs happen during it fortunately
Wait do you mean the auto attacks? For the Flare?
Anybody know what set is this?
Both target 1 and 2 on the aggro table
The autos, and the flares
Not at the same time
well it targets 1 and 2 on the table, which should be the tanks
ruby cotton, its lvl 62 crafted set @honest ocean
yes

Always felt like "not my problem" so I just ignored it lol
On extreme with a 510 tank it will kill you unless you use migitation so
For the love of your party at least use rampart and a smaller cooldown
Jokes on you I'm a 506 Tank!
I feel like I shouldn't start tanking it yet...
lol
Thanks
I guess I should probably at least upgrade my Crafted gear to 520 first...
Well there's cheap crafted gear on gilgamesh atm
Still waiting 🙂
Like 80k a piece
Yeah, I already got crafted, I just need Allegory to upgrade
👍
Wait crafted is already 510...
We told you it would take up to 24 hours
It's only been like, 3
I see I can buy some random crafted access then
please dont posts gifs
Say less 😉
Alas, that's not funny.
If I'm not doing Savage yet, best gear is usually just mixing Revelation gear (which is weekly gated) and upgraded crafted gear (which is not weekly gated) right?
Oh and throw a diamond weapon in the mix
i died but my respawn is REALLY far away, will someone come here and revive me or should i just respawn?
best is augmented crypt
The best non savage gear is augmented crypt yeah
if youre not on free trial do /shout rezz <pos>
You can try, but it's probably faster to eat the rez and just teleport back over
Yeah... Upgraded Revelation is 530. If I can't afford it yet, just fill in rest of the slots with 520 upgraded crafted gear right?
the only small aetherytes are in big cities
to get around them
everything else is a big aetheryte
more or less, yeah.
520 is a little overkill, since savage was designed for 510 minimum
But that's what the odd catch up patches are for
I see
I just feel a bit unready to start actually finding a static yet
Or maybe I should try e9s in pf a bit? Before finding a static?
if you're feeling brave, there's always party finder. Just ymmv
you dont need a static to do savage
Just watch a guide, go in, and do it like your everyday Extreme right?
yeah
Yeah
I do recommend to hit a dummy so you know your skills on your job are up-to-standards
Pots are meh on learning
Well nah, pots are meh on Party Finder actually(unless parse party)
did you do most of if not all of last tier akira
why are you waiting
just go try it
then youve already done savage
then don't do savage its optional anyways
if you're burned out then just don't lmao
True lol
no one came to rez me 😦
Yeh, this tier doesnt matters as much too
It happens.
then (A) let go
Because next expac, new level cap, you dont need this savage's gear in order for the next savage
Usually if I joined a static, I shouldn't PF savage anymore right?
Since the loot system
yes
you could but only for parse parties
I see
only time i did was when i felt i could clear a floor but my static couldnt and it was nearing reset
and i cleared it
whats a static?
a set group of people who raid together
Premade raiding group
a group of 8 people that raid togther
I guess it's usually fine to convince static mates in a casual static, that if we are like still progging e10s, feel free to clear e10s with PF or something
If u are fresh join static. You might end up progging with PUG in pf when you have free time.
Can't wait to get the complete edition soon at gamestop so i can join a FC and start building friend groups
is there a place for FC recruitment? both in game and here?
I mean, you could have casual rules where you're only going after the book
!faq communityfinder
recruitment channel and community finder on lodestone
the community finder website is a good pace
Right
also makes it easier since you can get fully geared people looking to do the fight again for parses or fun
I see
but that's just one style
To look for a static, starting with https://discordapp.com/invite/mMVbkZx is fine right?
Depends on your DC but yes that's one possible one
Yeah I guess I will start
Tomorrow 
Let me procrastinate a bit more before static hunting
Turns out that free trial users can't buy mounts. You can buy it but you will never receive it.
the more you wait the less likely there will be learning parties
True
that sounds very illegal but ok
Tomorrow 
Imagine being misinformed in a chat strictly for help?
Free trial can buy some stuff
?
i did mention that you needed a license to receive the mount
since it didn't detect any characters
It says on the page if you can or not
Where?
On
Do you have a screenshot?
Where does it say anywhere that the item can be bought by free trial users or not.
I suggest you contact SE support about your complaint
we literally can't do anything.
I was under the impression that free trial users couldn't purchase items on the mogstation in the first place.
Free Trial users were granted limited FFXIV Online Store access after a patch.
Does dying an item bind it to you?
It shouldn't, no.
nope
FR however does bind the item so
I believe it's in ul'dah Sapphire shopping district whatever it's called
which will then take you to central thanalan
that's desynthesis
melding is unlocked in central thanalan, at the bonfire. "Forging the Spirit" unlocks extraction and materia melder npcs, "Waking the Spirit" unlocks materia melding and "Melding Materia Muchly" unlock overmelding
ty
ah right, now i remember
one of the crafter quests (for all of them) tell you that you can learn how to meld in central
is 977.3 dps for dancer bad or good
for what level
60
Kind of bad
If its not 80 then we can't say really
don't even worry about parsing until end game.
They increased level cap for BLU?
Anyway to power level alt jobs?
Y
it's been at 70 for a while yes
Yes
!faq altlvlguide
omg I thought it was always 50
They upped it to 70 at like 5.4
Oh sick
thats because they're using standard step on cooldown, probably
standard is just that powerful
60 was like 5.1 or something
when is best time to use standard step?
on cooldown
Immediately
Literally on cd
Whenever its available
ahh after the 30 seconds?
Its your strongest hit
Yes. Every 30s
So use that shit
Can you que 70 and below roulettes as BLU?
you inflict 1000 potency every 30 seconds
No
rip
i guess that makes sense
Blu is still limites
no, must be premade or undersized party
oh and no roulettes yes
is there a Kupo FAQ for DoL/DoH and leveling it? Also, im thinking Botanist is lucrative cause the materials are used often in potions. Is Culinary or Alchemist also lucrative or are they money sinks?
depends on how much you want to play the marketboard
there's people who craft 24/7 selling up to 200 99 stacks of food and pots
okay, and would Botanist directly support Alchemist only? or also support the materials needed for culinary?
alc need some miner and botany materials both. specifically this tier uses Hard Water which is a legendary miner node material
really you will want both botanist and miner. mats use both of them interchangably
usually requiring mats from either or
fsh is kind of.. well its there
Also you do need Fisher if you don't want to buy crabs off the marketboard
ah okay
because you need chili crab if you don't want to spend extra time getting HQ materials
not alot of recipes require fsh, so you can just leave that for last
Mainly botanist for herbs and organic stuff
Okay I kind of want to work on a DoL when i want to just kinda relax and vibe out
Some miner for salts and water
but ill wait a little til i get the complete edition cause i want to be able to sell the stuff i pick for cash
Do any of you know if I buy the game and go to the website, I'll be able to assign the product to that account.
Or will the account be on it in the first place.
ask SE support
we haven't dealt with a lot of free trial users trying to buy stuff on the Online Store because it's so new
how hard is ruby weapon compared to the other, last one i need to clear then farm
Lmao, yeah I will. Since that's the only option I have, won't be misinformed that way.
and most people usually buy the game before looking at Online Store
Easy but people are stupid with meteors
All the weapons are really easy
But there's always that 1 mechanic people are just braindead on
So Joey, I don't know if this helps but
Do you see anything like this when you click on your mogstation account
LOL
nvm won't leave that there, thanks for the help with the DoL stuff
Here I'll send you the screenshot that appears on my screen
So I believe the entire issue is that your character doesn't exist, according to the site
which is weird since I'm also a trial player
It exists, I'm just on the free trial which on another discord server I got a totally different answer with people saying that free trial users are NOT allowed to buy items from the mogstation.
A friend is having a bonding ceremony. Another friend of ours is currently on the trial. Are trial ppl able to attend the ceremony or would they need to purchase first? (Please do @ me if you answer so I can be sure to see it)
they cant
Ohhhhh ur right
Thank you
Guess someone might be getting a gift copy soon ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Shiiii ya boy done fucked up.
What did you do?
Bought an item without getting the full game like a dumbass
What item did you buy?
cloud bike
The SDS Fenrir
When did you buy it?
Wtf? This orange guy typed that in a millisecond.
Like 4 and a half hours ago.
Isn't that one of the account bound mounts?
yes
Those can take awhile to be delivered
which means those have a tendency to take longer than usual to be delivered
Just be patient
and more importantly, the FFXIV Online Store didn't issue a warning about it. So I assume it'll eventually arrive. Joey here is just impatient :p
Yes but that other guy has his account bounded to his FFXIV store account, it has nothing to do with being patient
no, it does.
And he is on the free trial
What other guy?
this one
Coeurl, he sent a screenshot in chat, just scroll up a bit and you can see that his account is linked.
"being patient" means "not being snippy with my mentors when they're trying to help you"
Your behavior has not been impressive
speaking of mentors is novice network always so chaotic?
depends on the server
highly depends on the NN attitude on said server
most are usually helpful but otherwise it's treated like a global chat 9 times out of 10
NN is unreliable at best, complete troll chaos at worst
The mentor system in general is just a giant meme for awhile now
I think it's the same as /say
Same as say i think...or at least yell
If someone is using /ems in an area, does it have the same range as like shout chat?
Ah
Nice
I don’t have to worry about anyone being bugged about it halfway across the map
lol no
Balmung would be even worse if it was lol

Yeahhhhhhh I’m on a date and I’d feel bad if everyone in the Lochs got their chatbox filled with /ems of our characters holding hands lmfao
OH /EM
That's cute kinda
the s was throwing me off
Does anyone know if the 300 collectables required for trade mentor is the combination of gathered and crafted collectables?
either or, I believe
Trade mentor is a thing????
its 300 gathered
yes
100 crafted
121
Man sometimes I wish it could stay night forever in this game
Should i queue for all 3 ff3 raids for the resistance weapons quest or with only one is fine?
You can just spam Syrcus Tower. That's the shortest one.
do i get less queue time if i choose all?
Probably not
"yes" but due to item level cheese you'll likely get Tower or Labryth anyways
gonna do it with a tank btw
tanks have the longest queue due to only having 3 an instance
1 per party
(due to a tank shortage in ARR which resulted in the permanent change)
Are 24 man raids required aside from the crystal tower series?
no
for bozja, yes
only the tactics one
no idea what bozja is yet but I just finished Heavensward base game so may not have run into it yet
end game content
Bozja is a level 80 special zone that's required for the level 80 relic weapons
hey guys, new player here, had a few questions before solidifying my purchases, which data center should i go to if i want to eventually go to end game and have a somewhat easy time finding parties? specifically ones that are nicer towards new players
and healers?
and if i wanted to have an much better experience, what cash shop items should i buy?
Any datacenter is fine for endgame.
2/2/2 per party so relatively normal
DPS have the best though with 5 per party
its the only roulette to have DPS in need more than a minute at a time
being a tank in 24 man party gave me so much anxiety I switch to DPS for it
The only cash shop item I would recommend is the SDS Fenrir (Cloud's motorcycle), which has a base movement speed of "one star", even when you don't have upgraded movement speed in a zone.
so Crystal -> bryn is fine? i was browsing some old reddit threads and people were saying aether and primal is what i should aim for, but idk if thats just outdated or actually true
But practically speaking, cash shop items are cosmetic-only.
Are you on Lamia?
Yes, Crystal is fine.
wish it was the daytona bike instead tbh
Practically speaking, those are gonna be moot in a few months time, given Datacenter visit will be a thing in a few more patches.
But yes, all DCs are fine for raiding
Ah alright ty both @open coral & @slate arrow
kinda bummed about the mount tho, thought it'd be ok if i bought the peacock
motorcycles aint my thing
the motorcycle's bonus isn't really that make or break
if you like the peacock then...buy the peacock
Yeah. You get "one star" movement speed upon completing every zone. The motorcycle just gives it to you as soon as you when you get the ability to ride, regardless of whether you've finished a zone.
It's nice in the early game, but not really a huge deal at the end of the day
No. I'm on Leviathan
Ah ok, thats interesting, thanks for the help!
Do the other expansions also have aether currents?
yes
Is there any way to tell who someone is EB'd to?
no
I can hear my heart breaking
It's not as bad once you get to the current expansion
all open world mobs ignore you once you get to 11 or more levels over their level
so it's pretty easy to get em once you get past that
Only the Stormblood ones are really annoying.
HW and ShB they're more or less where you're going for quests anyways.
Luckily can have a friend carry you to victory for SB's
This is true

You know why I asked that Azura
Yep, Leviathan's NN shouldnt be that bad
If u ask a question, you should get an answer
Instead of a 4 lines paragraph on why NN is an authoritarian technocracy... the shitpost is normal, cuz NN is prettu much treated like a World chat
Coolio, now i got a question myself
Any idea how long SE takes to reply.
Does Tank stance affects Provoke aggro gain?
Between 12 hours to 2 business days, im afraid
considering it's 7pm PST on the West coast, they'll probably reply in about 13 hours, unless they don't work weekends, which they probably do.
no
You would think it'd affect the emnity overtime that provoke has now
Provoke has enmity over time?
No, it's just to max plus a boost
anyone knows what happened with the new 24 man raid? I've been in queue for almost 20 minutes and still shows me as the only one in the party recruitment
I still find myself able to rip off aggro right after a provoke tho
Its probably the hour, also newest raid isnt in any roulette
Well, it's between 7pm and 10pm in the US, on a Saturday night.
It'll fill eventually, just be patient.
Also the day of the week
it's in alliance raid roulette
It is? Tower?
yes
Ye
you don't usually get it in roulette because of all the cheesers though
but it exists
Well TIL, just sit there and be patient, especially if u tanking/healing
thanks guess i'll wait
lol the numbers suddenly changed from only me to just missing 4 dps, weird
You know how I paid for the bike and it didn't say that I had any available products right. That's because I didn't use my ID. I should have used my ID to make it pop up. I'm not sure if it's possible for them to transfer a purchase from one account to another.
🤦
How did you even make the purchase then?
FFXIV Online Store allows you to make purchases without signing in now
So they have a code for the Cloud Bike but can't redeem it on the Free Trial account
where was Gunmetal Black dye from, again...?
Since you no longer need to sign into mogstation to access the online store portion
Skybuilders Scrips/Fete tokens in the firmament
or the marketboard
The quest at the beginning of Shadowbringers are boring. When do I get to the forest with the nice music? 😛
Question! If I am playing on a new computer is there a file I can grab that has all my Keybind and UI info on it that I can send in a zip to the new computer?

These CHR folders have all that
If you have access to your old computer, you can upload your character settings to the server once a day
Infinite downloads thankfully
Oh perfect.. where do I do the upload? Via in-game? or Mogstation?
And I do have access to the old one
I think it's on the launcher
the person/cogwheel next to back up character settings, cogwheel next to new character button to back up client settings
awesome! I'm gonna jump around to go check that out now
64 or 74?
74
I guess I will take my time with the expansion. 😛
Is there a way/macro to target the nearest party member that corresponds to an arcana as AST?
Like if a SAM is in the party, then give it to them
no, macros are extremely simple
since im planning on doing ruby weapon ex, curious, what do "no rotate" mean
I'd actually like to know this too
The mechanic when you have to get up on the ground tendril things
You don't rotate to a specific one
There's a version where you rotate clockwise based on your spot/tole
Depending on whether it's short or long
Rotate is when you go one spot clockwise if the short tentacle isn't on the melees' clock position
ok so you just stay in your clock position you set at the start
mhm
simple enough
Loses uptime on melees
whats the best way to bait bits as a melee
well were a couple patches in, not concerned about uptime in phase 1
You just stand a bit to the side and then move to the safe spot when they show up
having a bit of a hard time using Shukuchi with the controller. or rather a hard time aiming it quickly
is it very useful to normal NIN gameplay or not really and dont go crazy trying to make it feel natural
Am I still eligible for a free Fantasia on a new character?
Thank you
could try macroing it so it targets whatever you target so you can just use the skill while targetting a boss to get there instantly.
do most people still get their memories for the ilevel 500 relic weapon from Heavensward fates, or from running around bozjan?
Both, I guess
depends on if the instance is kind
Because if you can get mob farm parties going Bozja is faster
HW fates are faster, but doing Bozja gives the other shit on top
nah, they're pretty easy to solo since most DPS jobs are overtuned for HW anyways
okay, So I have returned with bad news? I don't think any of the restores worked. I log into the old computer and everything is still the same which is good but I even did the manual back up and brought the file over to the new one for the restore and nothing has changed. Even did the in game (character selection screen) option with no change in results.
Should I just copy all the files and bring em over in a zip?
Are you trying to do it on different characters or the same character
same
You did select upload saved settings right
yup
are any of these "Tank-specific Materia" for the purposes of the Squadron Chemistry?
Tank specific is only tenacity, iirc
thx
what lvl are you suppose to be able to ride a mount?
!faq mounts
'When can I get my first mount?'
The quest that allows you to use mounts, 'My Little Chocobo' is unlocked by completing the level 20 main story quest 'The Company You Keep'. The quest is located at the Grand Company base you chose and you'll need to buy the Chocobo Issuance from your Grand Company Quartermaster. You can get the 200 needed Grand Company seals by doing the main story quest that comes after 'The Company You Keep'.
'Are there any differences between mounts?'
Besides looks, all mounts are the same speed along with being able to fly. Some mounts allow multiple people to ride at once.
'Can I make my mount faster?'
Zones have one or two ranks of mount speed that increase the ground speed of mounts. The first rank comes from completing specific quests in the main scenario quests, with the second rank coming from Riding Maps which are bought with either Allied Seals, Centurio Seals, or Bicolor Gemstones. Mount Speed Boosts do not increase the flying speed of mounts.
yeah those are the steps I followed.. I'll try again I suppose
Using the Server Backup Function
Is the section you're looking for
Yeah, I did both manual and the in-game version
thank you
Ohh I think I see what I did.. Thank you.. I hope I'm right in my mistake
someone here told me that scaevan set is good for stormblood up until level 75, about to start stormblood with level 74 & item lv of 380, is it still worth spending all the tomes on scaevan, or should I a different set for stormblood?
get whatever your lowest ilvl is with as much as you can
The Scaevan set is a worthwhile investment for jobs that you're bringing into Shadowbringers.
It's not like poetics are hard to come by.
what do you mean?
What dye would you guys say replicates clouds soldier outfit the most.
get as many as you can
Scaevan is the best gear u can get on stormblood, so i'll assume you meant Shadowbringers
like dark blue or something?
You think so? I was thinking the same after I wasted gils on black dye's but it just didn't look right.
you realize you can try on dye
I realized that after I wasted gil on it.
then try the dark blue
where can you buy the diamond gwiber trumpet when you have 100 totems?
and then to crystarium set for shadowbringers?
I think Fathard on Eulmore, Glorious Gegaws
Nah, on ShB you just progress with whatever you get from MSQ
It's the revelation set which will be the best come Endwalker
After you reach endgame, you slap on the gud stuff, but its gonna feel like horizontal progression
it's not there 😦
you mean cryptlurker sets?
I'd say the shadow blue dye probably. Still not entirely sure.
Oh wait you meant Diamond
Its not for sale yet i believe

I've been having this issue where the game sometimes crashes when I quit and the only solution is restarting my computer. Has anyone else experienced that issue?
Are you getting any error messages, or does it just quit?
When tanking, do you just AoE to set all enemies against you?
No, you spam AoE to deal a lot of dmg too
AoE is 150 base potency, on 3 enemies thats 450 potency, the more you pull, the more potency you throw at em
Tanks are designed to AoE(basic AoE Vs. Basic singletarget) on 2+ targets
Yeah, spam AoEs as GCD and slap some oGCDs
Does immortal flames rank stop at flame captain for now?
When there are 2+ enemies(3+ is the nobrain)
yes\
Every GC stops at there, sadly
Nobody knows
they have said they only want to add new GC ranks when we have something to earn along side
I can’t figure out how to get the last two ranks. Not sure how to start these adventure squadrons
My hotbar looked like this after targeting a single dummy and I don't know if I'm meant to be activating some of the skills xD
you need to do challenge logs, you have a chance of recruitting a new recruit whenever you complete one
Thanks!
It goes to black, then flashes something from my earlier play session, and refuses to actually close
No error messages. Can't alt + tab or alt +F4 or anything
Anyone know how to remove this returner flower temporarily?
Press O>Edit my search settings
kk
Change to "Online"
its the social menu default keybind
Found it cool!
Also is there a way to disable other people's Returner/Mentor icons?
I'm in Bozjan, and it's hard to tell if people with icons, weather they are in a party or not
Is this quest related to everything I need about resistance relic upgrades, and the new Derilium dungeon thing?
As far as im aware, no. You'll just have to try and send them an inv or wait for them to hit ya with a "LFG"
I see, thanks
Currently the max is 515
Its bis for ultimates and i think it's bis if you don't have 530/535 weapon
Hotbar setting is unique to each class?? Does FF14 remembers each hotbar setting per class? Or it wipes out when I change my class?
Hun, I didn't know it's Bis for Ultimate
So I have to do challenge log until I get 3 recruits to fill a team then do flagged missions crystal recovery for first flame lieutenant and dapper strike for flame captain?
But yeah, I think Diamond weapons are 525 and really easy to farm.
Crafted upgraded is also 520
Oh shit you're right. I forgot about diamond
Wait does the minor stats of Relic cover like 5 to 10 ilv?
Character config > hotbar settings > shared
Not really right?
That let’s you decide which hot bars are class specific or shared between all classes
Cool! Thank you!
What are bozjan bronze coins for
Relic lets you change the substats so i think its better than emerald and 520s
For this step of Resistance Relic, do you get to choose your stats? Or is it still just only one set of minor stats?
Buying the i495 Bozjan gear and augmenting it
Cool, you can customize substats this tier, nice.
Also I think saving a few thousands and pray something new releases 5.5
Dps: crit, determination, direct hit, skill or spell speed
Tanks: crit, determination (i think?), tenacity, skill speed
Healers: crit, determination, piety, spell speed
That's really odd. The only things I can think of are outdated drivers, vram running out, or there's something running in the background that's causing it (looking at you razer game booster)
Is asking me for gold coins though
You have around 1100 or 1300 points... I dont remember clearly. But you can max 2 stats and have a little bit left over for a third stat
I see, that sounds nice
1167, to be exact
Thank you
the weights you apply will be the same weights at the higher item level
kk
so if you max crit, max dhit, and a little det, it will still be max crit, max dhit, little det at 530/535 in 5.55
Does anyone have a good benchmark for video cards for Angelic Tea. I suspect it may be having issues
The normal bozja coins are traded inside the bozjan southern front. Silver/gold coins in gangos
do note those are for the level 70 ultimates and yes
Oh cool
due to how sync scaling works
nvm then
I check again but I could swear gangos guy wanted gold coins
For regular Savage content, Just go max Crit Max DH right?
more or less.
the balance uses those specific spreads due to how level sync works
in order to max out DPS
Also I did not know UWU is also called The Weapon's Refrain lol
I thought it was the name of the resistance weapon lol
I think I luck out and got 2 solid CLL
Inside the bozjan southern front, not gangos
whats the current end game crafting gear control craftmenship
Ok
I disabled Nvidia's overlay so it's not that and I update my drivers regularly and frequently. As for running out of VRAM, I have a 2070S in my PC so I doubt it's that, but I'm not going to completely rule it out
ty
are any of the Primal Discords linked in #resources good for looking for peopel to run Dragonskin Maps/Aquapolis runs?
(Behemoth in particular)
I'm not entirely sure what it could be. You could try asking over in tech, they might have some better ideas.
btw can anyone tell me why ppl pick Aesthete's tools over fecet if fecet has higher stats didnt play for long time
Can’t meld fecet
my fecet frypen is melded
Can pentameld aesthete

I think all the tools are bugged
Facet has higher stat than Aesthete?
No.
aesthete stats vs facet
Maybe if you compare pentamelded to non-melded
That's what Replica claimed
because he was most likely looking at non-melded vs melded
o crap i was looking at wrong item
Or accidentally compared to NQ
thanks
sorry
i was looking at hq facet and on market normal Aesthete's picture instead of hq
Any healer mains on?
whats up
that's fine
oh? thats good then okay phew..
Did you try ctrl+alt+del to open task manager and close it?
So you don't have to restart everytime
I also get a black screen when closing the game but if I keep clicking inside the window it closes itself
guys im doing my lv 50 paladin quest
it says follow jenlyns to snowcloak but ive never been anywhere there
its all unattuned how do i get there
fallgourd > travel west
snowclock is in the north west portion of the coreathas central highlands map
north shroud
the MSQ brings you to the Coreathas central highlands at level 35 or so, after the limsa primal arc
oh so can i not go ther enow
no you can still walk there
oh ok
assuming you did the level 15 quest, there's no travel restrictions on most ARR zones
yeah im msq lvl like 28
What's the exact name of the food Samurai wants I know it's like kicking something I can't find it on the market board
am i over leveled? lol
smoked chicken
perhaps
Thank
Are you on exp boosted server?
do bitter memories drop even when you don't have the relic weapon equipped?
Is there any spot here to get help with a ticket?
yes, you just need the quest active
I’m still a little confused on the last two gc ranks. I don’t have a full squad (says I’m missing one). I did 5 challenges in my challenge log and didn’t get another. Is it more rare than I think? And when I get them, do I just do a few command missions for the last two ranks?
its rng whether you get a new recruit once you complete a challenge log or not
nvm
well i guess not. dang :/
and no, you'll need to level your squadron up to rank 40, which will then unlock the flagged mission for 1st lieutenant. probably wont able to do that immediately when its unlocked as you have to meet all 3 stat requirements for it
i just completed my level 50 paladins quest
how do i get the cool like paladin shield and stuff
is that later?
captain requires you to run 5 different dungeons with your squadron, as well as be 1st LT, to unlock the flagged mission
if you're asking about like a support ticket then no, we're not an official discord for the game.
oof. ok thanks. guess ill just say bye to my account
would there be any regret in trading away all the irregular tomestones for magicked prism (job mastery)
like there'll never be a chance to earn more of them right?
also going to note that SE support doesn't work weekends
job mastery is the "permanent" moogle tome event item
they haven't repeated tomestones yet so
but yeah the moogle tomes always change each time the event is "reran"
with my luck they'll repeat the tomestones or allow for other uses next patch
ah well, ty, cheers!
exceptionally unlikely that they're going to repeat esoterics
can already see new moogle tomestones in the files
if i get a flying mount before i reach the flying chocobo part in the msq will the mount not fly
It wont
All mounts fly
the black chocobo (which im assuming you're talking about) isn't...exactly tied to unlocking flying
for ARR zones, its unlocked with the msq itself
Flight is unlocked in ARR by completing one of the earlier lvl 50 msq
For HW onwards, you need to do quests and find aether current on the maps
for expansion zones its tied to gathering all of the aether currents in that zone which the msq that gives you the aether compass to find them is the same quest that gives you the black chocobo
It’s not
nah its extremely simple
The short version is: you can't fly until you reach certain milestones
Do the last 2 gc ranks do anything important? Trying to decide if I want to put in the effort haha
there's 2 sets of currents you have to find. Open world currents which you can find with the aether compass (gives you a general direction and distance), and quest currents, which are either
or from msq
not really, there's the captain weapon glamours and higher gc seal cap
but that's it
Is there a way to permanently change my starting screen to another expansion? I keep getting shadowbringer screen but I'm not there yet
Yes, but no
XIVLauncher > Plugins
Yes, you can, but it doesn't carry over to next time
SimpleTweaks
Last question... roughly how many hours does it take to get eureka relic and bozja relic?
Just looking for ballpark
is that a modded launcher?
Yes
oh then nvm

When they increase the memory drop is that all fate memories
later
what is the drp rate for the ruby and emerald gwibers now?
or relativley compared to diamond now
¯_(ツ)_/¯
It’s all guesstimating
People assume drop rate doubles each time it gets buffed
whats better savage aim materia 2 or heavens eye materia 2
crit
ty
Will ix and x materia come with 6.0 immediately? Or like, 6.1?
Immediately.
Sch need to manage more heal resources imo .. between gcd heals, fairy heals, and aether heals
SCH's HP heals are all tied to it's unique mechanic, aetherflow.
You could use MP, but uh... Your only good MP heal is physick when Emergency Tactics isn't on cooldown.
It's the same as cure mashing, it doesn't feel good at higher levels.
Grant you the Aetherflow status, which is basically just a resource.
You get 3 every minute normally, but you can manipulate that a little with other skills
!action Recitation
Gotcha, so you're playing around that mechanic
!action dissipation
Orders your faerie away while granting you a full Aetherflow stack. Also increases healing magic potency by 20%.
Duration: 30s
Current faerie will return once the effect expires.
Summon Eos or Summon Selene cannot be executed while under the effect of Dissipation.
Can only be executed while in combat.
aetherflow lets you use most ogcds
you get 3 every minute and you decide how to spend them
is overleveling bad ?
anyone who knows?
Directly, no.
Indirectly, there's no benefit since you're synced for the vast majority of instances.
Oh ok
its just less efficient
