basically, if boss is casting something, use TBN just to be safe
yeah
raidwides also always use castbars
(Some are delayed mind you, the cast will go off but then the raidwide will happen a lil bit later, like in Mem Misera)
ok, so if name is a big hit, it COULD be tankbuster, if name says something of wide reach, it COULD be raidwide
Yeah pretty much
haha, nice, I didn't know that
Dont be ashamed if its yer first time and you dont know the name of attacks
we've all been there
Just do yer best, and people are sure to take notice
yeah, I wanna learn things that all fights have in common
Uhm guys, cosidering the custom deliveries are limited to 12 a week, should you focus 6 on one region only?
or should I use it on shadowbringer+ stormblood
thxs for all the info, it has really been a big help
Just fyi, tankbusters at the VERY early stages of the game sometimes have no castbar at all and just happen instantly
But that also means you can do absolutely nothing to mitigate them as a tank so whatever
Healer's responsibility then 😅
haha, thxs
@light monolith in terms of best scrips only focus on the 2 newest ones, both of which are part of the Firmament story
so not the one in eulmore?
cries in every sirensong run
@obsidian patio is that in a patch 5.1+ mainquest?
IIRC no, you just need to unlock the firmament in ishgard and do the quests in there
They do relatively the same dps and both are viable in end game raids
@obsidian patio eulmore is fine to do right?
yeah
Where's the inn in ishgard
Inside the Forgotten Knight
o
@obsidian patio Also quick question, Yellow scrips gatherer, what do you use those for since it's gear is pretty much meh.
materia for selling/melding
you can also use them to get the master recipes
(old master recipes)
*folklore books
Master recipes is crafting
OH Gatherers, my bad there mate
Hello everybody, I have been experiencing an in-game issue with increasing frequency this past week and I wanted to ask where the best place to post it might be. Do you think I should try to crowdsource it via r/ffxiv or just make a post on the official forums? (*' - ')/
You also use yellow gathering scrips for the new gathering books, if you dont have them yet.
And be sure to stock up on like 1k cordials or something
I mean, you're here now, can just ask here first
Is there any differnce when it comes to the cat race, seekers of the sun and keepers of the moon or just lore?
lore
all racial differences are effectively just lore
im not sure about the miqotes admittedly
I've been told to spend COmpany Seals on tickets to teleport. Thing is, I assume it's those "Twin Adder Aetheryte Ticket" but they're only for First Lieutenant and up. How do I reach that?
It was a technical issue involving the game crashing so I wasn't sure if it was the right spot.
there are some differences between appearances
i know between the two roe races some have access to certain hairstyles that the other doesnt
Like?
for miqote, I think one of the subraces gets cat eyes and the other gets fangs
no, their teeth
fangs are in the mouth
In my humble opinion, just ask here, reddit and the main forums all at once. No harm in asking.
skin tones and available facial markings are different too
i wish i could make the tail go away
same with au ra the dragon race
There is no way to right?
Outside of maybe mods, nope.
Oi the tail is part of the charm
gotcha
Funny enough the Alphinaud outfit thats new on the mogstation had a bug where it would remove miquote and aura tails, but I think it got fixed.
If I'm looking for a text guide for rotations where would I wanna look thats resourceful?

Well okie. So, I have been receiving t h e e x a c t s a m e e r r o r this past week. The last time I had a dx11 crash was at least over a year ago, but I have gotten 4 within the week, exactly at the same moment: when I dismount my chocobo
Any error codes or a clean crash to desktop?
That would be claws lol
First time, 4(?) days ago? Then two days later.... and now twice in the same day! Yes yes! @_@
Ace
that's a graphical error...
Nope, not that I know of
my GPU was doing auto-Overclock and that would give me that error, but it wasnt as constant as yours
This is weird indeed... and out of my area of expertise
Again, my computer has given me like... 3 dx-related errors since 2.0 came out until now
It's be extremely good to me
Now it's the same error
Its a super generic error, so its gonna require some oldschool troubleshooting. Stuff like, playing on lowest settings for a while, reinstalling video drivers, perhaps files are corrupt somewhere and requires a new download?
Just trying to gather more clues to pinpoint the issue.
Yeah...the problem is that I can't force it
It just.... HAPPENS
Some combination of...something, when I dismount, makes it lock up
Exactly 🙂 its the worst kind of issue. There are hundreds of possible solutions for your specific issue on the internet
but no clear cause or fix
Could be a driver issue, could be a corrupt file issue, could just be a bad patch on SEs end. (if its the latter, tomorrow theres a hotfix, may be worth waiting for it)
Perhaps try playing in dx9 mode, see if that changes anything. Internet frequently shows overclocking as the issue but.
Well, I at least know it isn't a driver issue. There was an Nvidia driver update recently so I waited to see if it occured only on the previous driver, but the most recent dx error, #4, means either both drivers are bad, or it's not the driver
Another common issue seems to be game overlays. Steam, discord, ACT
I have none of those :)
is paladin hard class to play
trying to switch classes got back 2 days ago
red mage or pala
Have you turned off the discord overlay? Considering you're using discord right now, and the overlay is turned on by default
I currently have Youtube in Chrome, Discord the app, and FFXIV running
Oh it's off, I'm picky :p
Then that's not it either.
Reinstall to fix corrupt files, playing on low settings/resolution, dx9 mode are still paths to take?
People sometimes dunk on it for being straight-forward, but I enjoy it for the extra support playstyle options. It's pretty reasonable to learn, yes yes :D
^ red mage and paladin are often said to be some of the simplest classes there are 🙂
Hmmm :|
Paladin is not harder or easier than any other tank
i used to main dragoon but i dont feel like relearning it
i always had to look at combos
well Paladin has 2 combos too, or rather the same combo with 2 finishers
I might wait until that maintenance then. I'd need several days, apparently, to likely encounter the right combination of variables
what is gunblade doing different compared to pala
more combos 😄
it has a regular 1-2-3 combo
Which generates cartridges that you then spend on another 1-2-3 combo

Which has a different combo inbetween every step (just one button though)
is there any way i can start over on steam by removing my account?
It sounds complicated but gnb is actually pretty straight forward once you get the hang of it
thanks for help to bad i got back late missed the crafting rush >_>
the thing that sets paladin apart is the magic phase btw
where you cast spells to deal dmg
System Settings -> Mouse -> Use software cursor -> Change size to whatever
Thanks for your replies! :)
btw where is the new gathering area coz i cant find ppl in any major city
Depends on the server I think. Limsa and Ul'dah are always busy on Balmung at least, yes yes :)
Do I have to clear E9-11 before I can do 12 each week?
At the point where I don't need gear from the first 3 floors
Savage?
Yes
Not each week
you can jump into 12 parties, but you lose loot for previous floors for the week
But you will relinquish the gear/book from previous ones if you do
Ahhh I see thanks
Thats fine, my group has limited time to do reclears / prog and we're all geared up just need to complete 12
Thanks Azura/Lycilla
/cwl1 /cwl2 etc.
Oh. I tried /cwls. Thank you!
anyone tried this viera hat mod ?https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/lniv78/square_enix_0_modders_1_aka_theres_now_a_mod_that/
trying to change around a gear piece or two (currently ilvl 516 DRK) to up my skill speed to a more comfortable level, but all gear pieces that would supplement skill speed are a lower item level on the mb... is it worth it to drop a bunch of Crit materia to up skill speed (from 2.41s to 3.38s). I think my latency/ping is stopping me from double weaving at times.
yep. it clips a little, so you may want to consider modding some hairstyles, but it's a thousand times better than the alternative
(of not having any)
gotcha. i've never moded, but considering using my fantasia to change viera. is this kind of stuff bannable?
Nah
Technically yes, practically it doesnt happen.
Just don’t tell random players you’re using it and you’ll be fine
technically yes, but there's no way they'd be able to tell
not really sure how mods work. how wouldn't they know? this mod is just local file changes?
exactly, it only changes stuff on your end
others can't see it and the server doesn't know the difference
gotcha thanks for all the info guys :D.
does anyone know how we can validate if this mod is safe?
This is the general modding discord that people use. https://discord.gg/ffxivtextools
Just uhh, be wary of what you might find in the NSFW section of mods.
Plenty of people have used the mod just fine.
im doing the feisty chocobo quest line but idk how to make it so the chocobo follows and fights
Do I need more than one of the same bait? Like if I use it, could a fish take it and swim away with it?
Right click > use gysahl greens
Some mods are still broken post 5.5 especially ui mods due to the new 4k ui setting so be aware of that
Bait is consumed every time you catch something
Yes, bait is used by catching fish. Exception is lure type bait
thank youu
Lures can still break when failing to catch, though, so get a few spare.
Lures are reusable but can still be lost so having 5 of them should be plenty
Gotchaaa, so I was probably confusing with the lures, oops
You'll want like 30+ of a specific bait if you're looking to catch something
Yeah I pretty mcuh was taking 20 actually lol. Thank you
I received some armour parts from eden trials, what do I do about them? Exchange for goodies?
Yes, with the Mord vendor in Eulmore or in Mord Souq.
Oh nice! Thanks! They took space in inventory I really want to get rid of them.

Just noticed the augmented exarchic can't be overmelded. Is pentamelding just not worth the investment for combat classes? Better to just go for the thing with a higher ilvl?
So is pentamelding mostly for people trying to do world's first or something?
i cant do my MSQ until lvl 49 and im 47 but i did all the side quests in this area what should i do
Duty Roulette
precisely
Thanks
I forget what level certain duties unlock, but you should have duty roulette leveling, that gives good xp. Frontlines, the pvp game type, also gives a lot of xp.
Do a daily leveling roulette, unlock and run the level 47 dungeon Aurum Vale
And dont be intimidated by pvp, no one really cares in Frontlines.
Exactly
You need to do a side quest to unlock it. I think it should be where your grand company is?
Quest "A Pup No Longer" at your GC headquarters to unlock PvP
Then the quest "Like Civilized Men and Women" to unlock Frontline PvP mode which is the mode people actually play
And the one that has the daily roulette.
yeah thats at uldah for me thank you
how do i trade tokens for sand here? "trade" can't be clicked :|
It gives like a 1/3 of your xp bar, pre-requisite is to be lvl 30 and have a job.
Click on Blue Crafters' Scrip Tokens?
a job?
Also confirm you are actually speaking to the NPC Ulan, and not just looking at the list in your key items inventory
Yeah, a job stone. So if youre only 47 either: scholar, paladin, warrior, dragoon, bard, black mage, summoner, white mage
Base classes upgrade to "jobs" at level 30
i might be forgetting one
oh im bard
Scholar 
then youre good
sorry for the stupid questions im still new
its cool
That's what this channel's for
been a while since ive had to trade crystal sand, does clicking + not do anything? or maybe right click the token?
thanks, thats what I was messing up
nvr mnd then. i didnt even know you could look at the list from your inventory
Yeah you can't buy them without going to the NPC, but the list still shows a "trade" button for some reason
¯_(ツ)_/¯
also second question, for the anima weapon growth stats, they don't really matter right? so just dump it into crit and determination as a DRG?
Since the weapon is ultimately just a glamour these days, yeah doesn't matter in the slightest
hell you could dump it into useless stats if you want to
trying to change around a gear piece or two (currently ilvl 516 DRK) to up my skill speed to a more comfortable level, but all gear pieces that would supplement skill speed are a lower item level on the mb... is it worth it to drop a bunch of Crit materia to up skill speed (from 2.41s to 3.38s). I think my latency/ping is stopping me from double weaving at times.
What’s your ping?
If it’s higher than 100, i’m fairly certain you cant double weave regardless of sks
2.41 to 3.38 seems like... a massive change. Unless you mean 2.38. Also if your problem is double weaving wont a higher skill speed make that even harder?
I would guess it's a typo and they meant 2.38
lol i tried to correct a typo and typo'd myself, yeah meant 2.38
oof pvp says more than 30m waittime
oh yeah youre gonna have to get a feel for the sweet time to queue for pvp in your server
if you cant do pvp, keep redoing the highest level dungeon you can do, at 47 it should be aurum vale if you have it unlocked
im half way through 48 so i guess i should wait
frontline roulette is only really active right after daily reset
So I’m a newer BLM player that doesn’t have any eden gear yet and only a few bis 530 cryptlurker. I’m trying the high speed with tome build on ahkmorning, but have no combination of material to get me to 3600 sps, as I’ve focused on trying to get the jp opener (stuck around 3530). My DH is significantly less (around 2400) and the guide says long term to get them both to 3600ish. My question - to maximize dps short term am I better off scaling DH with SPS (eg 3000/3000) rather than trying so hard to hit 3600 sps?
yeah ppl only rly do frontline after the reset
i dont have that one unlocked
Guys is Hyadatos like dead? Seems really empty compared to Pyros 😦
i think its an optional dungeon, should be unlocked with a blue quest
for crystalline crafter quests, do HQ items get any extra reward?
yes
yea it's usually 90 - 180 😦
Afaik sps to your desired tier has the highest stat priority for BLM. However it won't affect anything unless you jump tiers since that's how sps works. I'm not sure where the thresholds are though, but lemme check
wiki says quest is "Going for Gold" in western thanalan, i dont remember if it has any other pre-reqs
woops yea that was a typo
2.38
ill go get it thank you
the sps is as much about unlocking rotational possibilities as it is the raw output speed
so I suspect getting the sps in place is more important than low DH
It is
DH is just a linear damage increase anyway so
But since it works in tiers it might not be worth putting too much time into it in the short term
Which is what the guy was asking about
- @glossy flare thank you! So it sounds like focusing purely on sps until it hits 3600 before investing in DH is the right move?
In the long term, yes
How about short term... that’s where I’m stuck
yeah, that's what I was getting at. I'd get the sps to unlock the rot you want to play first
Wondering if I can help static more by going from 2500/3530 DH/sps to 3000/3000
As I work towards eden gear
again, DH is just a linear damage increase so you're not going to somehow have massive damage problems if it's low
dropping down to 3k sps would be bad
it might be different if we were talking crit
I wouldn't do that
Gotcha. Thanks so much!
so yeah, don't worry too much about it -- get to 3600, and just bring up your DH as your gear gets better
sps is especially important for blm since all your dmg comes via gcds
So get on that asap
i would argue BLM is the only job that actively wants SpS
Thank you so much for your time and help!
I wonder if the best sps food can give me that 71 I need to get to 3600
Looks like Pineapple Ponzecake only gives max of 22 😢
Isnt Zefir the best food for sps blm?
So if I equipt a Tomestones gear to retainer
I won't be able to store an extra of that piece in it's inventory?
No cause its techincally in their inventory already
Oof
I just came here to correct myself after researching it. Zefir can give me 143!
guys did they add any place like palace of the dead for lvl 70s+ ?
Bozja
bozja
thanks
i think it should work if you put it on your saddlebag?
Ya I just wanted to store it in retainer 
I have 99 stacks of a bunch of allagan bronze and silver pieces
They're taking up like 15 inventory spaces
Where do I convert/sell them
And I'm in Shb msq and I won't be getting anymore allagan pieces right?
I'm getting nightworld instead
Sell to the doman enclave for more money than other vendors
Ohh
I have a bunch clear demimateria for it
But ig I'll use up the pieces for now
Shb doesn't give any allagan pieces right?
are the haunting and vexasious memories only a chance drop from gyr abania and far east fates?
Yes, it's like ~20% give or take. You can still do like 5 in much less time than it takes to do one HW of StB alliance raid.

true
im still queing for raids to be less stagnant
and im getting terrible lulck it seems lmao
guys, hows the rate for memorider drop via fate farming on gyr abania / far east fate?
i done like 15 fate without drops
i just asked that
Does scholar get more pets like summoner or are the fairy pets the only ones u get
Just the fairy.
oh my bad. i'm so pissed off that i'm not realize there is totally same question above me.
20% feels like 5% for me 😦
Do they get upgraded at all
lmao same its why i asked too
also eos/selene is all u get
there is a level 80 temporary upgrade to the fairy
you get seraph at 80 but it's a temporary thing
It probably averages out to about 20%. So you might get a string of drops some time, maybe.
Can you buy lv 50 doh primary/secondary tool with yellow scripts
No, as scrips were introduced in Heavensward
Oof
Okay so GC has lv 50 doh/dol primary tools
Do I have to buy/craft the lv 50 secondary tools or can I get them from somewhere else
Craft. Or marketboard.
Rip
There's a reason why most guides skip over 50 gearing and tell you to skip straight to 51/52
Can I get 51/52 doh tools without spending gil
if you ask nicely and get the materials, maybe
how many vexatious and haunting memories do i need
the purple and yellow
nvm its 18
holy fuck
why is teh drop rate so low
to "encourage" you to do void ark/rabanastre instead

Because welcome to relics, they're a time sink by design
if you have blue mage leveled at all, consider doing the fates as blue mage
spamming chocobo meteor with your chocobo companion out makes things go a bit faster
i dont have BLU but BLM does well enough
and getting some sort of exp at it too lmao
Ask who
other players, presumably
o nvm
my recommendation is to run a level 80 class and do fates in the highest level area you can - for haunting, for example, I did them in the lochs. that's because the fates scale you to be 4 levels above the suggested level for the fate, and since the fates in the lochs are 69 it scales you to early shb stats which makes them a lot easier
I was able to solo boss fates as a gnb pretty quickly, and they barely hurt me
guys is blue mage legit class or is it more like side class for fun
side class for fun
more like a side class
o
^
Say like fate farm for relics
also can be good for farming mounts/old ex's
yeah
It has insane burst to blow shit up

!action basic instinct
Increases movement speed by 30%, and healing magic potency and damage dealt by 100%. Also ignores the damage penalty inflicted by Mighty Guard.

A behavior learned from certain species of coeurl, the caster rises to the challenge of losing comrades by tapping into a feral survival instinct. When all seems lost, or when simply treading where a lone mage was not meant to tread, unrestrained ferocity is sometimes the only way to win through.

Hey I'm looking to purchase XIV on Steam and am transferring from PS4. Do I just need to buy the starter edition and I'll keep access to Shadowbringers?
You must buy all applicable keys for the platform you want to play on
In that case, buying starter only gives you access to ARR and HW. you still keep access to the jobs, I think, but you literally don't have stormblood or Shadowbringers downloaded so you can't log in to those zones or queue for those instances. It's a little weird.
4 lv 80s should be enough to solo zurvan ex right?
definitely
Yeah
1 healer 1 tank 2 dps?
Any comp, really.
Need a healer for that add phase
I'm sure some of the 4dps also have healing if it's like, rdm for one
or fuck it, throw a warrior at it all
I'm sure it's fine
I c
1/1/2 will certainly make it easier
In trying to mat farm wanna make that weapon
But 4 80s shouldn't struggle.
a few can be like, soloed
I think the only way I've ever really struggled on Zurvan was trying to solo it as WHM
with difficulty but they CAN be
That didn't go so well for me.
lol right right
o
there was this one site that had all the unlockable things, what was that cuz I can't find it
What dps class is easiest to play? Got two tank classes at max but never played dps before and trying to pick up a simple one so I can do dungeons with friends
dancer, probably
Are there items on mogstation u can sell for gil in game? I could really use 12 million for a mount
💀
@normal breach dancer litterly tells u what to click

It's really easy
I found it
dancer aka "4 buttons + rng"
No that'd be silly
I forgot this isn't black desert online
I could still use that 12 mil gil so does anyone have any good gil making tips?
do crafters + gatherers, and treasure maps
Could do treasure maps, getting into crafting is a good method too. Otherwise it's just roulette Gil accumulation and whatnot
I suppose if you get into the nitty gritty aspect of gardening that's decent Gil too on the side (also assumes you have a garden)
I don't have a house yet
Something about me u don't know is that, in every mmorpg I play I'm addicted to getting every mount so I normally put that before everything else lol
I'll probs have half the mounts before having an apartment or house in game
Considering a lot of mounts are time locked to pvp seasons, good luck with that
I mean if you have an FC house that works too
what is the waterside/highland/woodland exploration thingies
basically just retainer leveling things
Use em for if you're leveling or chasing specific venture loot for retainers
Is it worth it to buy market gear when u hit certain levels or just grind the dungeons
I want the odder otter which comes from those
there's a lot of items that retainers can bring you so you're better off buying it
It's almost never worth it to buy gear off the MB or from NPCs

thamk
good question, didn't think about that
it is on the mb
How much is it
on my world it's about 44k rn
Oh not toobad
damn on my world it's 170k
Ouch
World Visit :)
Ye items are different on every server, I looked up a yt video and on that guys server a mount was like 20k on mine it's 199k
Which sucks
eh whatever already bought it
Lol
Is otter a pet?
Google it, it's cute. Odder otter
the other one is called Abroader Otter
I don't like having pets on I don't know why but they always walk infront of the npc when I try to talk to them and I always click on them by accident
Unless there's a way to prevent it I won't be equipping pets
Hold down X
you can hold down X (by default) to make anything but NPCs unclickable
helps with player crowds too
If you disable minion name tags does it make them less clickable or no diff?
you can still click their model
though the clickable area is technically smaller since the nameplate is gone I guess
^ can confirm able to click my minion
Yeah i disabled minion names and never accidentally clicked it, probably makes a difference
._.) So uh, I'm a low-level tank (40ish)... What does it mean when a healer has to spam heals? Does that mean I'm not using my cooldowns correctly?
anyone know where the quest goin for gold is im in western thanalan but i cant find it
@olive totem how many groups do you pull at once
I never really had to spam heals to keep a tank alive, so I'm not sure if it's just me or did the healer blow their ogcd
@delicate field idk. I pulled the whole map probably
At that level range healers often don't have much ogcd healing available
Lol yeah ok
From Nedrick Ironheart at Vesper Bay. Requires level 44
I stayed alive but I was just curious
so spamming the gcd heals is the only thing they can do when doing big pulls
I see
I mean... are you using your cooldowns correctly though?
Yeah he was probably spamming cure 2 non stop
Like rotating them one at a time?
I'm not a scholar yet as I'm leveling summoner. Is it had to just spam all your heals at once?
using all your heals at once is pretty dumb
Yeah, they healer wasn't doing bad. I don't think that happened to me often to where I had to spam gcd. Then again, I'm on patch 3.5ish
As ast
Yeah i think on the lower level maps when tanks pull lots, healer will spam heals
But we get used to it. Was he a sprout?
How are you using your cooldowns?
Tanking in this game isn't like other mmos
I mean play dk
You're usually expected to pull a ton. New healers don't expect it
Yes? 😄
can someone help me really quick
I use the 10%, then the 20% mitigation, then shadow wall

I don't remember the name
Yea, then you're fine
As a healer of level 40s dungeons with tanks who pulled half the map, i had to use sprint, insta cast and stuff to keep up and heal the tank
order doesn't matter too much, just don't use them all at the same time
I repeat that process
how much is 180 days for member

anything new tanks should keep in mind i was on few years break and i used to play dps but now im switching to paladin
keep your tank stance on, boom you are now tanking
Literally can't lose aggro now, at least to dps
!faq tankguide
o ty
Just standard SOP, keep stance on, face mobs away from the group, use mitigations wisely. Watch for tankbusters.
When I get around 70% hp, I pop a cooldown and then I go dps
Where can I get dragoon lance, like on artworks? I got full armor set after lvl 50 dragoon quest ending, but no weapon
just curious how do you level up after you do the msq as the first class you are?
Why not?
Because you're wasting effectiveness
Don't I suppose to space them out?
@high otter That is the Gae Bolg, the DRG early relic weapon.
Yes, but you dony wait to start using them
the dmg you take at 100% hp and the dmg you take at 70% hp is exactly the same
so that 30% you lost could have been 20% lost
Once you stopped pulling, you start using cooldowns
man i miss my company they all quit 😦
I see. Where can I obtain it?
so more mitigation
!faq altlevelguide
It takes longer to get to 70% hp if you use a cooldown
Thus you take less damage overall
Thus healers can dps more
Thus stuff dies quicker
I see now
also sprint is mitigation too while pulling
can't take dmg if the mobs don't touch you
There is a whole quest chain that starts off in Vesper Bay, once you have completed the 2.0 storyline and finished your level 50 job quests.
Sorry I thought Vinyl said like when there are no enemies around to pop one
I finished lvl 50 quests, but still doing storyline. What NPC should I check to obtain the quest later, do you remember?
The quest giver is Nedrick Ironheart and the quest is called "The Weaponsmith of Legend"
If you've finished the quest "The Ultimate Weapon" you're done the 2.0 storyline.
whats the button for screenshoting?
thank you
FYI, relic quests are a huge time investment and grind
and the gear they give you is not worth it anymore
except for glamour of course
That's the ultimate reason
I'm just saying, be prepared for grind
He is right. It is a huge grind, especially the Zodiacs which are probably the most tedious even for level 80s.
It is strongly recommended that you put off doing old relic weapons until you're max level, as several of the steps can then be trivialized by unsyncing instances required for them.
The content is still tedious, it just goes a tiny bit faster.
I see. I was thinking of doing this stuff until my trial is expired, but I guess it's not possible to do with lvl 60 being the cap for now
It was designed for level 50 and there is no time limit on the trial so you can do it, just be prepared for a very long haul in the process.
Oh. I thought it's like a month or something
It's all ARR anf HW content with restrictions that paying players don't have.
The free trial is basically the same as having the Starter Edition of the game, but without being able to utilize most of the social functions (most chats, FCs, MB).
And has a gil cap.
But once you start paying you're locked into it and can't go back.
if I have helmet hidden, is it hidden for everyone or only me
Hide helmet is a universal function
Because the option to hide your helmet predates the glamour system
If you want to show helmet sometimes
If you want to have only one set with the helmet hidden and can't be bothered to click the button every time you switch gear, you use the Emperor's New Hat.
i'm a new player, at what point should I consider trying a differnt job?
lots of people say to wait till I have "flight" at level 50
Maybe I mean class?
oh okay, cool. I don't want to burn out trying new things too early in the game
by trying to level everything up
i'm guessing different cities have different jobs?
Flying just helps you get around easier, for your other jobs. You can start whenever
Yes
If u wanna unlock them yes. Just talk fo the class npc
cool. i'm a lancer and i think bow is in my city
Ofher jobs I mean
so maybe I try that out. I'm only level 20
Expansion jobs start at higher levels
okay cool
Dark knight is free via heavensward. Gotta be lvl 50 or 60 iirc
thanks all! i guess i'll try out another class here soon just to screw around
i guess i should keep all my gear and be able to swap gear
Yes, save gear sets
You have to be able to enter Ishgard to unlock Dark Knight
For easy swapping
Yeah thats what i meant
cool, i'll make sure to do that! is the little "recommended" gear thing good to use?
It works well enough
Many classes share gear, so saving is good sometimes
in terms of leveling gear, yeah
awesome, thanks all
Is crafting gear at low level worth it or no
If your other crafters are low/aren’t unlocked
You can get some level 25 gear from your GC, the quests have some gear, and you can probably fill in the rest for dirt cheap from vendors
is there just no hairdresser in shadowbringers inn?
!daily
oh nice, thanks
whats a good way to power level a alt job?
!faq altlvlguide
Do house tenants get access to the cheap aetheryte for the house? And can you be a tenant on someone’s house if you’ve already got your own housing (FC room, apt, personal house)?
Yes and Yes
hey, if I'm trying to level up my retainers, is it ok to use the lowest level missions the whole time? (I want crystals lmao) or should I be sending them on the hardest missions they can handle?
Awesome, thanks!
Quick ventures if you can login a lot a day
yeah, but like level 1-5 or should I be using level 6-10 ones
But if you want crystals the MB is the easiest source haha, they are cheap
Higher level ventures give more xp
ok bummer thanks
I leveled my botanist up to lv. 20 just doing lv. 1 shard missions in not much time
Question, (also good morning) does it mater which Grand Company you join?
You can send them out on lower stuff, will just take forever
No
Quick ventures can reward items that sell for thousands of gil, then you can buy crystals off the MB with the profic @warm zinc
Do they all offer the same thing?
Yes
Yes, only difference is look of gesr
The only difference is location and armor color
ohh ok
The only difference is the color of the gear you can buy
There's no functional difference
thanks guys!
Also after a certain rank you can switch between them.

Has anybody else encountered a bug in the influencing inquisitors quest?
i'm stuck because one of the 4 NPCs wont give me the dialogue to advance the quest
i've looked around but all the reddit threads i've found about the bug are like 5 years old and the solution seems to be "restart the game", which i've already tried a bunch of times and nothing happens :C
Nope. Msq generally are bug free as theyre pretty proactive on progression blockers. Make sure youre in the correct area
Look a vid up make sure youre at the correct npc etc
i am sure it is the correct NPC
What is the NPC's name?
joellaut
this does seem to be a bug with this quest - try relogging?
any place where i can read or learn about what free to play can do and not do 🙂
i've tried this aproximately 10 times
also tried restarting the client

hmm
!faq freetrial
First link
i'd advise sending in a ticket - it seems to be a rare bug and one of the main ways to fix it is relogging
My best guess is youre at the wrong npc, lookup a vid on youtube and go through it that way.
Joellaut is one of the npcs. What does he say when you talk to him?
they're at the correct npc, this is a reported bug: https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/36q7uh/main_quest_problem_influencing_inquisitors/
2 votes and 14 comments so far on Reddit
Huh.. ticket then they're generally pretty quick to respond
And you've talked to the other 3 already?
He doesn't have a quest marker either.
quest progress says they have
Your map shows the person off to your right
ah okay and also why dont the people speak with sound in the quest? or is that normal and also does any have a guild i can join as a free trial, that dont say i cant on the website ? 😄
voice acting is only in some cutscenes and you cant join any free companies in the free trial
okay
My wild guess is that you already talked to Joellaut as one of the three you talked to, and its a different fourth you're missing.
But Joellaut could have been one of those 3. There's also another MSQ marker on the map.
how do i get two bars of abilites
Turn on more hotbars via Character config > hotbars
Play around with stuff in general in there
ok
Find the other NPC that's marked on your minimap
hmm yeah I see, yeah seems like there's another you're missing
i talked to every NPC in the building
Having FF in my laptop and pc will not affect anything right
You haven't
under?
Always read your objective
SE should hire us to fix their bugs 🙂 we're so good at it
And look at the quest markers on the map
Affect what? You can login from multiple devices.
When in doubt lookup a youtube vid...wouldve solved this awhile ago lol
Ok making sure
There was no bug
in my defense, this NPC isnt in the same building, but on another one in the lower level haha
Small yt vid wouldve shown you that..just keep in mind plenty of ppl have posted every quest in the game so ykno.. references. You will be hard pressed to find an actual progression blocker generally speaking
The objective is "speak to people in the town (whitebrim)", not "the building"
does the road to 70 buff make the armory bonus 200%?
They stack so yes technically
When you kill an enemy you can see the (+XX%)
Yea
All exp buffs stack..add +3% to that with food and 10% with fc buff
500% is unusual i think lol where is this
Aetheryte earring etc
Road to 70 is 100%, armoury bonus is 100%, rested is 50%. Not sure how that adds up to 500%
doesnt armoury bonus become 200%? and rested 100%? due road to 70?
because road to 70 doubles it
i have 306% without chain bonus and without rested
is there a way to just look at all the parse logs on your character in fflogs? without having to click through each and every instance?
Go to your character profile
where do i go from there
Click on a fight on your profile to ser your parse numbers for that fight
that's what i mean, is there a page that just lists out all the parses instead of having to click on each individual instance
Your character profile by default shows the average of each fight but not for all logs
Is there macro for ninja mudras and is it wise to use them?
No and definitely not.
Generally speaking, ability-chaining macros are not a good way to go, since you lose time with them.
!action ten
Make the ritual mudra hand gesture for “heaven.”
Duration: 6s
Maximum Charges: 2
Triggers the cooldown of weaponskills, mudra, and Ninjutsu upon execution.
Conversely, execution of weaponskills triggers the cooldown of this action.
Combat macros are just trash jn general
So the gcd is 2.45s(ish), but macros only function on full seconds - meaning you'd need to have a 3s <wait> command between each step of the combo.
Cause of lack of skill que adding way too much delay
Which means you're losing about 0.15s per queued action to prevent clipping and failing the combo.
Which amounts to nearly a full second (0.45s) every time you use the macro.
I see well loks like Ill be manually doing these
Trying to press less buttons will always have you do less dps
anyone have like a "main points in text form" (not video) guide to recommend for bozja encounters
Like fight mechanics?
The only shortcut macros that we tend to recommend are things like placement macros for abilities that have a target placement (like Asylum or Salted Earth), or Shukuchi to target.
yeah i like gamerescape's little tables that just basically list the abilities and a short description
Check if Akhmorning.com has them. They have a bojza section
hey is there a good way to look up gear upgrades? (trying to find lvl 55 goldsmith stuff, market board mostly suggests combat gear)
Filter it for crafter gear
^ you can choose what class you want to view gear for from the tab below
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zl-Z99fF1x8uhZwk9ewW4Q5UcR2dLLS_zzxQSRFWQNM not completely up to date but helped me a fair bit when i was doing CEs for the first time
If anyone has any comments, fixes, ideas, questions or concerns you can comment on the reddit post: https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/javwyl/bozja_fates_info_guide/ Thanks! Skirmish Fates Number, Location, Spawn method, Name/s, Follow on fates/duels Names in red are the Critical Engageme...
surely this isn't a good goldsmithing ring tho
You want HQ gear if you're buying off market
It still shows gear equippable by all jobs so
@warm zinc the balance discord has a doh/dol resources section with a leveling doc, that doc has equipment and rotations on it
Its also pinned here in #doh-dol-lounge
how do you find delivery moogle shits
They're marked on the map
I cant find it
In main cities and end game hubs
At the amphitheatre
Near Mih Ketto's Ampithereter
No
If i leave my fc will it notify ppl
The Delivery Moogle
Near the salvager
i cant find it
The Itinerant Moogle is at the main aetheryte plaza
So you're nowhere near the amphitheater
Go to limsa, its easier to find i guess
Go to Mih Ketto's Amphitheater
whats a amphitheater?
It's one of the aethernet points.
Its a named place on the map
im gonna lose my mind honestly
X10 y8
im not good with text
Past leatherworkers guild
i only have lacner guild unlocked
See the big blue crystal you're standing by?
Okay
In that case you'll need to walk
See the green arrows that point to "Old Gridania"?
Go unlock the other aetnernets, in old gridina
Take the left side one
Just walk over to where it is and go through the instance line
I know the first dragoon armour has a giant tummy hole in the female version. Is there another version you can get in the free trial that doesn't have this issue?
I cant deal with this lol to much text my head is starting to hurt
i appreciate the help
/gpose
is there a keybind to hide everything or only /gpose?
Iirc theres a hide ui keybind, check it on the "key config"on the menu
If i pick up a beast tribe quest on say, a level 60 white mage
@fringe bone If you want to see how to get to the post moogle in Gridania, I can show you. I'll do a quick stream on Twitch just to run there, and then send you the clip.
can I do the quest on the white mage, swap to a level 45 job, and hand it in on that?
or will it have to be the white mage?
No
its fine i appreciate the effort man ❤️
Combat beast tribes can only be turned in on the job that accepted it
What about picking it up on a level 45, doing the objective on the WHM and then swapping back?
i just cant deal with text it makes my head hurt its really annoying but cant do notthing about it
Combat beast tribes need to be done as the job who accepted.it
ah ok, thank you
You're in for a rough run on a mmorpg and a final fantasy game
Wall o texts everywhere
Once you've watched one of the cutscenes for finishing a stage of the Anima weapon questline (usually the ones where your character holds up the new weapon), is there any possible way to rewatch them? I missed out on a really cool wallpaper opportunity because I had goofy gear on
Probably at the inn
Good call

I couldn’t find the cutscenes in the inn when I tried
Hope you have more luck then I do
Ironically the finished version was cooler than the Lux cutscene
You couldnt find the cutscene in the list or the cutscene player itself?
The cutscene itself
Is there any way to determine my rate of catching a fish? I'm trying to catch a fish that, by all I'm looking at, requires 349 gathering to get, my current stats are 2177/1872/929 (after a slight food buff), and I'm getting the triple exclaimation mark pulls.
But out of three times I've gotten it, it's gotten away.
Some quests have multiple cutscenes - you have to use the slider at the bottom of the quest description (bottom of the right hand panel) to skip between them.
And the relic weapons have their own category.
What’s the category called? I couldn’t find any
In the void ark on the chutulu boss, is the stoneskin a regular shield (gotta burn it off) or does it have some condition to disappear?
Stoneskin takes a certain amount of damage then vanishes.
With 6x what's required, I was really hoping that the chances of failure would be closer to zero than three-out-of-three.
So a regular stoneskin
I can't remember off the top of my head, and I'm not logged in right now. Remind me again in a few hours and I'll check.
Kk
Yeah, Vie. It should just be a regular Stoneskin.
Wait, which cthulu boss do you mean, specifically?
As was I, but then I did fishing stuff
Cuchulainn has breakable stoneskin
I don't even remember him having a stoneskin...
That's why I got confused suddenly, because Irminsul and Sawtooth has a shield mechanic.
He does when the adds spawn iirc
He has the physical and magical shield version that disappears with damage
It's not the regular stoneskin icon
Dammit Yoshi P. What's wrong with a normal distribution, shifted up in chances of success as stats increase?
And he won't let me wear hats, either. So rude.
Sorry if I make it sound silly but where shall I put a mention of me getting marriex for xiv sorry if it weird request
To invite people? Try Limsa
how do i add up third line of hotbar
i go to ui i move it to right spot and save it but when i leave its not there
i mean hud layout
Make sure you don't have it in "invisible" mode.
Can you buy elemental shards/crystals/clusters?
Like the things you get from killing sprites
Yes
WHY DID I NOT KNOW THIS????????
Jesus christ
If I had known this that would've saved me roughly
48 hours of farming
But your 48 hours of farming saved you millions of gil
Is the recruitment channel for posting only, or can I ask to join a FC there?
Also, there are easier ways to farm shards/crystals/clusters than killing sprites

What if I eat lvl 80 food like ilvl 510 as a job that is level 38
Will it have effect
Yes, but it would be somewhat wasted
Ah okay ty
when'd titan egi lose the abil to get or keep aggro? seems even when i send him in and cast anything, i get the aggro regardless now
Shadowbringers
it no longer tanks for you
it just has some dmg reduction skills
Not that titan could tank to begin with if you had any brains
why the change tho?
Hey people, so i installed the game, like, before the weekend and i’m now level 35 or something, i’d ask a lot of questions but ain’t nobody got time for that so i’ll ask the most trivial one, if i got 4 commandations out of 4 in dungeons does it mean that my click random tanking abilities technique works?
So pets cant die
the core design change was that pets can't be targetted and so they don't have any HP
by extension they can't tank for you
Cause having your pet RANDOMLY FUCKING DIE FOR NO REASON before yoy bahamut'd fucking destroyed your dps
"Summon bahamut: missed"
Ahh my favourite
they also moved the core pet actions to your hotbar instead of the pet hotbar
but that's pretty minor I guess
Well it works at your level but it won't work at higher levels 😉
and speaking of Bahamut, why's he wait for me to cast an abil to attack, seems....silly to me going that route, i'd rather have a pet that died, and attacked on it's own
if i've already done my custom deliveries this week, is there a "fastest" other way of getting yellow gatherer scrips?
That's an opinion to have I guess. But nothing anyone here can do about that
It's the design they went with. Personally I find it much better
Because Wyrmwaves are executed when you cast a spell
Yeah technically it still attacks on its own, it's just tied to your casts
which you would be doing anyway
It used to be any action but they changed it to any spell so people would stop using Addle as a DPS tool and use it for its proper intent
likely it's the players recognizing you for your tanking efforts, and/or being a new player (sprout) too
commendations are people telling you you did a good job
Pets are much better now....even though the pet system itself is fucking ass
the only thing you have to order is Akh Morn
which are 2 per Bahamut phase
so not much to keep track of really
If titan could hold aggro for you it meand you were a shit summoner
unless i'm moving out of aoe's, i'm casting, yes. but being returning player, i'm still learning the newer fights where i can call bahamut
Well sure, not being able to cast while moving is a typical caster issue
But that's by design
Yeah, you try to go into Bahamut with at least 2 ruin 4 stacks
But 4 are just as good
more movement
At least 3 actually
ruin 4 is odd, you can use it as a movement tool but summoning bahamut with under 4 R4 stacks is a sin
Why 3? What else do you have to weave?
3 ruin stacks is the minimum
The final 2 spells MUST BE INSTANT
Otherwise you lose a Wyrmwave
Cause AINT GHOSTING FUN KIDS
you angry buddy
r4 akh morn r4, r3 r3 r4 akh morn, r3 r4 swift r3
