You could still save time that way
Though I would suggest putting your ass in front of a dummy to get the hang of your toolset
Might take an hour but that's an hour vs hours spent leveling a new job
most my jobs are already 60+ except blu
Ah
i'd run DR at w/e level i could, and after bonuses, swap to ones more my level for each job
I was gonna save up for the Antelope mount doing fetes, but I just got it in my first present box. Are there any other uniques I can get from that event?
The outfit coffers. Go check the vendor for the stuff. Same guy who does Skybuilder scrips
Thank you.
Anyone know how long does it take for the Chicken fate to pop?
Should i keep doing the main missions (they are lvl30 i’m 35) or should i spam dungeons?
Story is MANDATORY
hi, do people in one party get the same amount of exp as one player would get? or do they get an splitted amount so that every member gets just a portion of the mob?
There's no point rushing levels
Looks like i’ll spam story missions
In general if you want a bit more combat to take a break from story, just level some other classes
To be completely honest..level is not my goal.....i just want to look good and generally the higher the level the nicer the equip looks
No worry, Glamour is the endgame, but it's also locked behind Story lol
Fishing in Diadem seems to have very.. unpredictable results, in terms of materials desynthed. Is it at least /faster/ than MIN or BOT?
Or is it just not the way to go at all
Faster for what?
Getting materials.
Min/bot are easier to target specific materials
Less RNG from nodes, and mobs that you can bazooka blast have specific materials
And ability to use yield increase skills
Myeah, which makes it seems like FSH is just straight up inferior.
min/bot can target materials, have material up skills, and the augur
Fisher is really only good if you want to just sit and watch netflix or whatever and not have to move around
And that
FSH gets more scrips than min/bot?
The fish generally get a good amount of scrips since you're not moving alot and can gather more in the time
I would assume the material-up skills make up for that though. Then again, not moving around is a big speed up for fsh..
how many tombstones of allegory do you need to fully upgrade Exarchaic gear, accessories included?
FSH is rng dependent but you can just kinda semi-AFK and just fish until the window is open
like, 3000 tomestones
3/5/3/2/5/3 and 2/2/2/2/2
Add 700 for a weapon
ah, I knew i was forgetting something.
Does choosing which grand company I join change anything?
no
That is a lot of tombstones...
for now, while there's a small weekly cap on them
you might as well just get aug crypt
I thought Allegory didnt have a cap?
Allegories are not capped anymore
Not weekly capped, just the usual 2k cap
aug cryptlurker is better, but the tomestones for that are actually capped
as in the weekly 450 cap
I do not have nearly enough freetime to farm for crypt
you could do it slowly
You just do a expert roulette daily
What is Rynes last name? O.o
450 per week + running the alliance raids is okay
she doesn't have one
5 expert roulettes ovee the week caps you
and nets you one piec per week
I thought so
Are all -light plants have this blue/orange colour?
Why have a lot of the extended music tracks for FF14 gone missing on YouTube? StarkZodiark seems to be gone now.
Probably copyright claims/DMCA takedowns. You'd have to ask the people doing the uploads though
That would take 4 months for the full set.

Anyone knows how the great serpent of ronka used to look like before he became not so great
Last I checked, SE has no problem with you uploading FF14 music as long as you follow the rules and include the FF14 trademarks and make sure the gameplay is appropriate.
So? They said they didn't have time so going slow it is
Apparently StarkZodiark shut down their youtube channel. According to reddit anyway. I'm not familiar with that channel.
Yeah, seems to be the case. If you're not familiar with him, he was a big source of extended FF14 music, and raid guides https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/is81cu/what_happened_to_stark_zodiark/
That seems a bit weird to me, why delete your entire channel like that instead of just leaving it alone so people can use the resources?
memories only drop from fates if the quest is open right
Yes
if so can i start that quest again on a character and just collect them for another
class*
As long as its active it will drop
ok
Regardless of job
i’ll just keep it open and get a lot better
Are there any tricks to leveling in pyros? Anemos and Pagos were easy enough, just join a giant group. In pyros it seems like the groups are always closed except for specific classes that they want
It shouldnt be any different so those guyd are just asses
But definitely start using logos actions
They make eureka fun
I lucked out and found a Protect L this morning - it was amazing. I didn't realize it would poof when I changed instances though
But there seems to be some fun ones to play with!
why do you need multiples of some? I just clicked the logograms link on the tracker. It says (for one example) Wisdom of the Aetherweaver Need 10
To make everything
Hello, super new to the game (level 15)
I'd really like reaching level 50, but what if I change my job mid way at level 30, will I have to go from 1-50 again?
Base jobs start a lv1
But it's just your job's level. You don't have to repeat the MSQ levels again
Expansion jobs start higher
So I need to reach 50 at any job, so I can qualify for samurai job right?
Which file in the CHR folders is the one that has UI settings? I finally got the UI I want on one of my chars but now I don't know which file transfers the UI layout without resetting what's ok all my hotbars on a diff char
Thank you wise sages, I'll be on my way then
My guess would be uisave.dat. If not, you might need to backup your files and do some trial and error.
hmmm
I tried UISave and Common and neither one changed it
I guess it might be the hotbar one 😬 which would reset what's on my hotbars
Oh, probably addon.dat then. I just found this https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/1u7uf0/config_file_names_and_descriptions/
monk or ninja?
why not both?
cus
Ooo ok great thank you I will try addon
try both out and pick which one you like
Whichever looks cooler to you
then level them both
Cant be bothered
Can't help ya, then, whatever looks cooler
Which one is easier to play?
both are somewhat hard
As in timers you mean ?
CD's
can u give a simple example?
Trick attack and fitting everything into it
gotta keep up huiton at all times
Speed buff
looks up the rotations
So you got a speed buff which is lets say 60 second
70 seconds
and you gotta fit your attacks in that time frame?
no, you need to keep up the buff at all times
You have to keep it up by refreshing it with Armour crush
so keep the buff up at all times when fighting
TA has 7 gcds in it right? at level 80
If I buy multiple jumbo cactpot tickets, do I get separate consolation prizes for each or only one consolation prize (assuming I get no matches)?
separate
oh, so it's profitable for a bunch of tickets
yep, even with no prizes its still a gain
If you pick the same number for your three tickets, and that one hits, you get a triple jackpot. The odds of this happening are astronomical but it's a possibility.
Simple/probably silly question: What materia should I meld into my WHM gear? What's recommended at the moment? Thank you!
Piety to comfort > crit > dh or det > everything else
Will the lore-spoilers channel be open to 5.5 spoilers tomorrow?
I strongly recommend SkS to 2.37s(it's great for Dia refresh+Assize right on time)>Crit>DH(you have absolutely 0% chance to direct hit without melds)>DET
Piety comes from some of the gear(Cryptlurker ring, RIP) and with Lucid Dreaming+Thin Air+Assize on CD, you should not run out of MP
2.34s is also fine
same as casting gear
Blu wears standard casting gear
Thank you!
Specific job gear is via the class quests
How can I change my GC chocobo colour? Is this option even available for free trial players?
It's not. You need either a house or apartment for stable access and either one costs more that the free trial gil cap.
And can't join an FC to use theirs
you can be made a tenant though
If you're a tenant you may be able to do it
Ah I didn't think about that
I know you can change data center with a fee. But can you change the region as well? Like NA data center to EU or JP? Or is has to be within your region?
Yes
So You can jump region?
yep
Yes
Cool

How do you get to Coerthas Western Highlands? Through MSQ?
Yes
yes
Aight ty
its one of the two zones you can go to after arriving in foundation
Where should I be fishing to quickly gain exp at Lv.70?
ocean fishing and levequests
Do I need to worry about specific gears or baits for ocean fishing?
Custom deliveries, crystarium deliveries, quitari beast tribe, ocean fishing, and leve quests. Then if all of those are exhausted, do diadem I guess.
yeah but you can buy all three at the place to que
Would you guys recommend clearing the msq+raid stories before lvling alt classes or shall do some alt classes first
MSQ is highest priority
but after that you can tackle leveling or raiding or whatever you want
depends what you want honestly
if you accept there's no real need to progress msq til you want to, you can kinda do whatever with what you have
Wait what's primal again.
depends on the context
Like whejn someone asks you are you on primal, how do you find out.
its !faq worldstatus
Is there a way I can change datacenters
Pay for a home world transfer. Or wait until we get datacenter traveling in the next expansion
How much
$18 usd
If I'm on Aether and my friend is on Primal we can't play together?
Not currently, no.
That's some bullshit.
The next expansion is adding some sort of datacenter travel, but we don't know yet what the limits on that will be. And it won't be until the Fall
Data centre visit is coming soon(tm)
Can't even play with the shawty, smh.
Why did you pick different dcs?
Because I'm a retard.
I didn't know there were datacenters, and when it chose me to pick one I didn't really think about it.
Understandable have a good day
Have a wonderful day sir.
just joined back after a year or two and wondering if anyone would mind helping me with this sam rotation
!faq samrotation
oh wow thanks!
f
#kupo-bot-spam
also MCH is dead simple
just 123 until 50 heat, hyper charge > heat blast
and not drift drill and AA
plus a few other skills
there really should be a faq for all the classes tho
:p
Does ffxiv have a free trial on the ps5? My friends having some difficulty getting the trial
he's saying it's requesting him to purchase the full game for 49.99
Spread Shot & Reassemble? :p
look for the demo
Spread shot is aoe
reassmble with hot shot until you get drill
ok cheers i'll tell him
Yea, but you didn't specify
When people talk about rotations we mainly talk about single target
you dont use it in rortations bc they are single target yeah
Cause aoe rotations is just "press your aoe buttons dummy"
is there a sam guide like that? or just the picture
!faq samguide
Boxer's Beginner's Guide:

Can someone help me reach the peering stone aetherite in the fridge?
You walk through a hole in the mountain, and MSQ takes you there
Heyoo, does fate lvls increase in xp if you do same lvl or is it the same regardless of lvl?
same regardless of lvl
for RDM Displacement can cause a death sometimes when should I skip it and use engagement like what an example for a fights I should use it in and what I should avoid it in xD
That's the point of engagement
Very fight dependent for the most part
Use it in place of displacement when it would kill it
There’s also the fact that you can more easily weave with engagement
Hi all, I have a question regarding my first time subbing, is this the place?
Hi, new player here. Is there player housing beyond just the innkeeps?
Actual houses yes
ok cool
okay I see time to do more research on RDM ty so much
Good fucking luck getting one
are they limited?
yes
What gear is enough for retainer? Lvl 80
Houses yes
oof
Ilvl 428 is the maximum for yield
60 plots per ward
What is a retainer?
A retainer is a private NPC that will act as a personal bank for the player, holding up to 175 different items, that can be summoned to any of the Summoning Bells around the world. Retainers also act as your means to sell on the Market Board.
How to unlock a retainer
First, you must complete the quest The Scions of the Seventh Dawn then go to speak to any of the Retainer Vocates located in the market district of any of the major cities.
What are Retainer Ventures?
Ventures are the means to send out your retainers on missions to bring back items for you and can be unlocked by completing the quest 'An Ill-conceived Venture' (Ul’Dahn), (Gridania), (Limsa Lominsa)
are they instanced or part of the open world?
They're open to that ward
"both" in that there's multiple instances of a housing district
Aight
i see
There's 60 plots per ward, like 21 wards per district and 4 (currently) districts
So you can do the maths of the available houses
Do note that gathering retainers are based on their Gathering stat rather than item level
Hi all, I have a question regarding my first time subbing, is this the place? (Sorry for reposting)
yes
I live in Latin America, the Caribbean to be exact (very close to Florida if you need reference) so I registered my account as in The Americas, I play on Mateus with no issues.
However, now I need to sub for the first time and SE is asking for a USA State and address which of course I don't have.
Question is: What do I do now? Been trying to look for threads on Google and nothing.
Noted Thx @slate arrow
Got a question regarding the weekly restriction on Eden Promise, was the restriction for the savage part also lifted in this patch or only for the normal Eden Promise?
You can give a fake address
No
They always explicitly mention Savage when they unlock it
And its always unlocked as the last thing, a few months prior to the next patch
Ah okay ty ! 🙂
I thought about that but since this is an onine account attached to a game thought it might get me banned or something, are you sure?
they aren't exactly going to check
just use fake address
It’ll be fine since you’re not getting anything physical
Just keep it written down somewhere if they ask for it
Well okay then, thanks all
Another question, can players marry each other?
Yes
yes, the only restriction being you must be on the same server
Okay, whats the benefit?
Ring ti TP to each other
cosmetics and a free teleport
Paid plans give you a 2 seater mount
Okay, is it likely that ill marry a female character but awkwardly find out that its a dude twice my age
I mean... if you ask any random person to marry you? That has a decent chance... probably
the free TP to each other is not worth much anyway
Most people do it just for the items then divorce
I see
the marriage feature really isn't something people do for any kind of benefti
even though the benefits are okay-ish
They dont sound too great
Its a 2 seater and some glamour at best
Depends on how much you like the person you're marrying
absolutely nobody sane is saying 'hey someone marry me so i can get xyz'
two seater sounds pointless ngl
it has its uses
tell that to the 8 seater mount that's coming soon
that sounds pretty cool
What does picking a diety at the start do?
Nothing
Nothing
It's a purely RP choice
Question about ocean fishing: if I have intuition going into spectral current can I get the special fish, or do I have to get the intuition during spectral current?
Hi I’m new to FF and Is there anyone in primal behemoth server that can kill the monster for me while I grab the egg? 🥺
hi everyone! I have a housing question.. if I already have a small plot and i want to transfer it, can I transfer it to a bigger plot? or i have to wait like with my first plot
which zone?
Yes. Relocation bypasses the timer
but the plot size doesnt matter?
I don’t know what you mean by “zone” but on the map, it’s near Jadeite Thick in central Shroud vs the lizard dinosaur monster
okey thank you so much :DDD
central shroud would be the zone 🙂
I think you get a discount too when you buy a new plot
thats neat!
According to how much you spent on your old one
(Cost of Relocation) = (Destination Plot Price) – (30% of Old Plot Price)
@cursive merlin are you on free trial/
Yes! I just started today
ahh can't shout then as that'd made it easier to find where you are
I can go back to grandia thing city
It sounds like he's on the quest where you have to grab the eggs and kill the velociraptors
I know the quest
If that’s easier
I can log on and go out there if needed.
i'm already here just need to figure out where they are exactly
Uh, it's north of the spirithold
That place with all the velociraptors running around
yee i got it now
Ty again!!!
@cursive merlin You have coordinates on your map
So as long as you know you're in Central Shroud, you can just mention your coordinates
Oh! Ty! I didn’t realize it
I don't know if anyone can help me, or if I just need to wait for the support ticket. But, I am trying to get back into my account after years of not playing and I am finding that the ID and password, that I thought I had for my account, is not working. I have an email that has all my past billing statements on it, with what I thought was my account ID, but the email states there isn't any account connected to it, and the ID name doesn't work. I have sent a support ticket, but hoping maybe someone can send some advice or experience my way. Thank you!
hey how can i start ninja job i am level 30 rogue

do ur job quest
i did
do your class quests and MSQ if you haven't done Sylph Management
More story progress then
if the forgot id is saying there's no acct tied to the e-mail address then i don't think there's anything to do but wait for SE support to get back to you on that
then eqiup soul crystal or whatever its called
but that said, like SE doesn't generally deleted acct's for no reason. is it possible you hit "cancel account" back when you stopped playing?
yeah maybe u confused cancel sub with cancel acc?
With leg sweep, are bosses usually immune to it?
At low levels, there are some bosses you can stun
for miner class quests can i just buy the items off the marketboard and turn them in or do i have to physically go mine the items myself?
Yes typically
some do some dont
but generally, at higher level yes bosses are stun immune
up to 60, yes
for 1-60, you can buy from marketboard
Gotchu, so its usually just a utility thing then
71 onward uses unique unsellable items
It's been years so if I did I wouldn't remember, but I don't see why I would do that on purpose, and if I did it on accident shouldn't there be a message on my email that notifies me that my account was successfully deleted? Is there any way to find out if your account was deleted?
for stormblood/shadowbringers quests, they're untradeable
If you pressed cancel service account the website does warn you, unlike cancelling a subscription
Doesn't SE have customer support you can call?
do believe yeah there would be an e-mail if you had.
ultimately though its just a matter of waiting for support to get back to you
you can also try calling them yeah
Pretty sure thats what I did and got my account back
The support was really confusing for me and was able to send out a ticket trying to explain what happened, but wanted to see if anyone had experienced something similar or had any advice for me while I wait for a response.
Best advice is just remember what you can, everything else is in support's hands at that point
why is it that only armorer can desynth this?
though should note that's the NA number not entirely sure on EU's
Alright, thank you. I will just have to wait and hope that everything goes smoothly. I thought that maybe I had changed my email for my account and that's why it doesn't work, but none of my other emails have any emails from Square Enix.
Alright, thank you!
because that's how desynthesis works. the crafter that can repair the gear is the one that can desynth it
Case sensitive password, all of that comes into play
shouldnt it be blacksmith
No
armorer is the one that repairs it 🤷♀️
Blacksmith doesn't mark every weapon
Blacksmiths can’t make bows
not all of warrior weapons are blacksmith
that's carpenter tho, not armorer
some of the stuff is just Fuckin' Weird
you don't really question it and it's not like it makes a big difference anyways
damn, i thought i found a bug in the game
i mean if you really wanted to, can throw it on the official forums in the bug section
if you think that might be a bug look at alchemist making books
that's intended though, alchemists jusut make most of the books in this game
also if you want to get into the lore of it, i think somehow alchemists are able to imbue books with aether
is this a question
just replying
I just got capped on allagan tomestone of poetics, anything I should spend it on? still in my free trial
!faq poetics
in Pyros - is there a certain order that's it's better to combine logo's in so I don't waste something and miss out on a rarer one/
i need a sam who wouldn’t mind hopping in vc and helpin me out if anyone can just pm me
You can't use fused logos to make other actions so just follow recommendations on tracker sites
Can you remove melded materia later?
Yes
ty
Quick question, if im looking to upgrade from the free trial to complete edition, I just need to buy the game on the same Square Enix account I use for the free trial? I don't want to mess up and somehow lose my character.
yep
What is a GM and how do you spot them?
GM's are basically the admins of the servers
you dont normally run into them in normal gameplay
do they basically play the part of agents?
agents?
yeah the ones who help you out via email
they more enforce rules and figure out reports
SE is telling me I need to upgrade my account type through Mog Station
"Transferring" over.
well yes, mog station is where you buy everything in 14
just login using your SE account on that website
Well I was looking at SE store. It didn't take me to mog station before confirming purchase
Im just going with it. They are showing the right character and world regardless. Thanks, just don't wanna mess it up
for PC, you get a code to put into mogstation
The full game isn't applied automatically to your account
only one that does it is digital playstation, since your FFXIV acct and PS account are directly tied
well linked together
Ah so it ends up in mog station regardless. You either receive code or just upgrade. Same price.
Mogstation is 14s account management stuff so it handles all that stuff
Bump?
anima relic
the last... 4 upgrades?
basically right before the light farming step
Ooh, I'm not actually sure if I've done an ARR relic that far.
I know I've done it up to a certain point, I just don't remember how far I got before giving up.
Yeah, doesn't look like I ever got that far.
why are so many people listing this at 1 gil?
doesn't make sense to me
is it a mistake?
or are they just being generous and giving it away
Guys, does the Fantasia potion consume right upon use? Or does it consume only on final decision?
Only once you confirm the changes.
Oh so I can use the potion to just see the changes
Anima is HW
Until it finalizes
Yeah, I never did a relic that far for HW either.
what relic have you done that you can check?
Honestly it doesn't look like I've ever gone beyond the second or third step for any relic.
Which is weird, because I was sure I had.
yeah, so i think you cant re-watch any relic cutscenes. they just arent there
Sorry I couldn't help.
is ok
Are there any skills Sch DOES NOT use?
Unless you're feeling fancy one particular day
Wait, both fairies are the exact same?
yes
anyone know the name of the song that plays in the crystarium at night with the vocals? :x

Ok sorry for the dumb questions. I havent played in over a year so ive kinda forgotten... everything lol
crystarium's night theme is knowledge never sleeps
which iirc is remix of tomorrow and tomorrow
When customizing ur UI theres a way to resize things right?
yes
How do you do that?
Actually
It was the second to last step I was interested in, Sharpened -> Complete, before Lux
Pedantics, seeing as you didn't get through it, but just wanted to be accurate
Didn't react fast enough to get a quality screengrab for a wallpaper, so this was all I could get
I'm just looking into War, is nascent flash just plain better than raw intuition in every non-super tank buster scenario?
yep
!faq nascent
See the Link for the math and explanations on the different cases. Make a copy if you want to fool around with the incoming damage values.
Raw Intuition covers 171k damage in this example.
That's worth a Shiva auto-attack and a Ramuh tank buster in total. This is to give Raw Intuition at least two hits worth of damage to mitigate.
Then with dual warriors in a fight the only thing to care for is accidently stack of shake it off and reprisals?
Pretty much
If you wont die, Nascent Flash is better; if you need the miti to survive the buster, raw is used
hii im a bit confused on the concept of melding materia. are the stat priorities for each separate peace of equipment? like you max them out for that piece of gear and then go down to the next priority? or am i looking at my overall stats?
you'll want to look at the meld priority for your class on the balance, probably
anyone know where the mizzenmast inn is.
Limsa Lominsa
No specifically.
go up to the drowning wench or from the aftcastle tp
The innkeeper
and theres an innkeeper npc yeah
Why does it say item too low? https://i.imgur.com/FDS51pw.png
Itd stat capped
materia is lvl 160 and item 270
!faq melding
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.
See the bottom half
Its stat capped
It physically can't have any more of that stat
whats the best way to relearn combos on a class? i got a lvl 80 dark knight but havetn played game in 6 months so dont really remember what he does
should i just go into a dungeon and yolo it?
Go slap a dummy for 10 minutes
where the dummys at
Summerford farms
Summerford farm
A little bit of everywhere, to be more precise, but those are level 1 and have a teleporter right next to them
Removal all your skills and add them one by 1 after reading them
yes
its for hotfixes so not quite regularly scheduled but is somewhat expected after a major patch
its gonna be from 10pm PDT to 3am PDT
Does the MGP boost from squadrons affect TT card selling payout?
Nope, MGP boosters don’t buff card trade-in or tokens that directly redeem for MGP
ty!
Kupo command for stats?
!attributes <server> <firstname> <lastname>
I don't know much about Golden Saucer other than you can get some minions/mounts from it. But did yall spend anytime there? Anything worth spending time there for?
Or more meant to be just fun side stuff
its minigames
The rewards are all vanity so up to you
its fun side content
All vanity okay cool
It does have an invisible shield glamour for paladins
Yeah i knew it was mini games but wasn't sure if rewards anything other than vanity
is there a way to back up my settings ingame so when I changed PC it'll still be the same?
Click the cogs on the log-in screen and export them
One by the top-right of the screen and by character name
thank you very much!
Hi! Is there anyone who is free in primal behemoth server that can kill these annoying birds while I grab a fishing rod? I tried fighting them but stone can’t kill them fast enough so they keep spawning and interrupting while I try to grab it.
Zone: central shroud
Coordinates: 25 27 0
cant you just use sneak?
his DoL might not be at high enough level
best solution is to level up then
How do u change classes?
equip the weapon from the character menu
^ assuming you've done the unlock quest for whatever class
Also be sure to make gearsets for each class because it makes it easier to swap because it'll swap weapon AND armour at the same time
Also yes
Except for alliance raids ish
Okay, healer i shall stay. Gotta relearn a lv80 healer after not playing for over a year lol yikes
level another one from 1 to 80 to get back in it haha
well as a healer it's not bad, just do a lot of dungeons
well AST starts at level 30
if you like dungeons, leveling with them is fun since you're enjoying the content
What would u guys say is the easiest healer to play?
white mage

What makes it easier than Sch?
Hey I just started ff14, does anyone play on ps4? Wanna ask a few questions
There's no real additional mechanics to healing as whm
You just press heal, heal happens
Scholar needs to do fairy stuff and manage aetherflow
Shoot
The hud element
There's also a main scenario quest hud element thatll point you at your next story quest
Also the quest list under the mini map
How long would it take on average to get WHM from 32 to 80? Ive already done all the story up to 80 on my Sch, so i wohld have to level in other ways right?
!faq altlvlguide
You can use the touchpad to cycle between UI elements to do what all these people are saying btw
Hmm 🤔
You could also zoom out to the third level on your map, see which zone the MSQ is and select it, then look for what zone its in and use the aetheryte closest to it
Have fun btw
How do you get the yanxian merchants haori
Finish the doman enclave. Can rebuy it at the merchants in the enclave
6-7 weeks?
Holy fuck
eh its not that bad
it's time gated
i spent like 15 mins a week on it max
Its free gil as well
Tru tru
What macro command should I use to target dragon sight to the nearest party member?
targetpc doesn't really work well in i.e. bozja
Ive got about 747 GP in botany and im trying to max out on getting HQ items out of a timed node is the best way to do this
Leaf Turn [III} > collect 5 times > Brunt Froce > bountyful harvest and collect x3
There is none
Macros arent smart like that
Is there a way to set ur hotbars to F1, F2, ect?
System > keybinds
Gotcha thanks! Is there a "sort" button for ur inventory? Or do u have to manually sort it?
Right click an item>Sort
Oh great thanks!
Where can i buy some decent lv55 gear for my alt class?
Thats nottt on the market board
Moghome
Nowhere for gear that's actually worth a damn. Unless your gear is extremely shit
NQ vendor gear stops being great past 50, and past 60 it’s detrimental at best
I have no gear at all on my alt class so lol
Do roulettes for poetics to spend on ironworks gear
Where do i get ironworks gear?
Mor dhona or Sundry splendors in the main cities
Mor Dhona or from the sundry vendors in the starting cities, marked with a blue bag
And what are poetics?
Currency earned from level 50/60/70 content
At lvl 55 might be better off saving for the 60 poetics set tho
I mean, it has literally NO gear tho so
Ah.. cause you might spend it again at 60 and 70 for poetics set
And i only have 8k gil which isnt enough for any lv50 gear on market board lol
Oh lol makes sense
You shoulnd have to use mb for gears at your lv anw
Did you do the class quest? The level 50 class quest gives an armor set
poetics and dungeon gears are good to lv til 80
Probbaly, but probably sold the gear or something when i played last cause i have nothing lol
What does it say at the top left under the MSQ for the lvl 55 class
do the coins from the yorha raids only drop once a week even for the old raids?
ah that's good to hear then. thanks.
are hunts and yorha coins the only way to get the item that upgrades cryptlurker?
Savage
As the original way
Hunts and nier are the casual method for catch up people
how do I macro set changes?
ah i never did savage before 5.5, still trying to prog through e9s, but thanks, didnt know that.
Click your gil, open your currency window and show us your tomestones
/gs change <gearset number>
For my BLM jp opener, should I skip ice phase of first rotation since the opener ends with a t3 and b4? Meaning jump right into f3 and f4s?
Wouldnt doing this give you less Thunder uptime?
That’s what I’m trying to figure out... because after the opener, it would only be a b3 and b4 before another t3, right?
Deals ice damage with a potency of 300.
Additional Effect: Grants 3 Umbral Hearts
Umbral Heart Bonus: Nullifies Astral Fire's MP cost increase for Fire spells and reduces MP cost for Flare by one-third
Can only be executed while under the effects of both Enochian and Umbral Ice.
But the opener ends with a b4
Skipping ice phase at the beginning means no Umbral hearts when you start
Which means shorter fire phase
So ending opener t3 to b4. Then main rotation is b3, b4, t3, f3 then f4s.
So wouldn’t the end of the opener be the thunder uptime and the umbral hearts?
You use thunder first in the opener to get it rolling
hey is there a place with lvl 80 mobs so i can do this challenge log thing
bosom buddies
oooh yea thats smarter
Its used at the tail end of other blizzards to let any existing thunder Continue to tick
How is RDM used usually? Isnt it just like... Acceleration - Veraero - Verthunder - Verfire/Verstone whenever they glow?
For prepull
If you have no stone/fire proc you use jolt to trigger dualcast
Or use swiftcast to try and fish for a proc
!faq 50rdm
Rdm basics
how do people ahve highlights in their hair
there's an option at the hair colour section of character creation/aesthetician that lets you enable highlights
silly question but how limited are you with hat options for viera?
do most models just not load at all?
the bulk of models aren't going to show, yes
is it something that i have to unlocked throughout the game
or when i unlock the aesthetician i get it
no
hmm interesting ive never seen it
o
thats so sad, I made this really nice viera character I was going to fantasia into, but not being able to use berets is disappointing
does Rested accumulate the entire time you're in a sanctuary or only when you're logged off?
while standing in a sanctuary in addition to logged off
do healers have any time to cast a damage spell during the soft enrage in e12s phase 2?
should focus on grand company promotions. once you're 2nd LT, up to you. I use them mainly to buy venture tokens, dark matter and glamour prisms
Where do i spend them
Not really, maybe one can sneak out when a White mage is cure 3 bombing with Thin air but there's alot of healing there
at your grand company headquarters
which for flames is in uldah, right near the main aetheryte
Does anyone know if there’s a green screen for gposing?
Probably just get a blank Partion and dye it green or something along those lines
Or leave it white and cut that out
Thanks
what do you do with dark matter?
Repair gear yourself
oh
You need to level up a crafter tho
are there breakpoints i need to be able to craft exarch gear?
yes, but you'll need HQ materials regardless
gotcha gotcha, i dont think im budget atm, ive spent like 1.5-2m on melding lol
everything besides rings and weps are melded haha
Lol well there a lot of macros and guides on exarchic crafting
okay cool cool
but will probably still want food/tea depending on your rotation
is that min requirements for hq?
cause i want hq ofc
just wanna be able to craft mah own gear
gotcha gotcha
Crafting the Aesthete’s Gear Pieces
(Minimum stats of 2588/2376/525)
Oh wait wrong guide lol
😄
I can't find the one for exarchic anymore oh well
that's okay
ty ty
at the very least i have to be close since i only have rings and weapons left to meld
hey guys, i take it that your name change doesnt automatically update on fflogs, right?
i know i changed my name a while back, but i was surprised to find out it doesnt update , but has my old name still there
Fflog uses your lodestone name so it wont change til that changes as i’ve been told
Can you buy crysta/mogstation items with amazon funds, like with an amazon e-giftcard ?
highly doubt it? idk but try and see

Question about how loot works in alliance raids: So I'm trying to farm the Demon healing set from World of Darkness. I just got the robe yesterday, and was wondering if I could do it again, and need on the hat, if it happens to drop on another run? Or do I need to wait till the reset, to be able to?
Oh okay, that's good to know ^^ thank you!
is there a best way to get white scrips for gatherer? i'd like to gear up my retainer
like a definitive best way i mean
Do your custom deliveries at lv80 then do lv80 collectibles
gotcha gotcha, sounds good
Gonna hop servers again. Which server has the HIGHEST population in North America? 😛
individual server population doesnt really matter
there is a server guide somewhere
people often answer that with "sqex don't publish server statistics but they are all relatively similarly populalted"
we have unofficial census which aren't entirely accurate and should be taken with a grain of salt
Anyone have any advice for someone who is struggling figuring out how to progress in Bozja? It seems significantly less player-friendly than most of the rest of the game to me.
I'm at rank 8 and struggling to get anywhere else.
but from that, for the most part it does seem that servers are fairly evenly populated
join groups of people doeng fates and CEs
do CEs fates
Use the aetherytes to get around
I can never seem to find a group to farm fates
The reddit post right? I think I still got it.
is the landsaint gear the best there is for gatherers?
Overmelded Aesthete
landsaint should be thought of as the entry set to crafting
ah
you can craft it all, but you'll need HQ materials
my highest crafters are only 60 anyways lel
basically what gear you go for depends on your end-game goals
if you just want to be decently geared, then hand/landsaint is perfectly fine for that
but if you want to be more serious end-game crafter then you should ideally be in overmelded aesthete
for now im just planning on levelling all the DoH up
not even sure if i'll even use them at 80
with the last boss of LotA, if even one player isn't on pad, the shield doesn't go up?
Minimum is 4 people iirc
cool cause everyone blamed me for the shield not going up :(
hey guys im thinking about buying the game can someone help me
shoot
im recently into the whole series i just played ff7 and the remake watched advent children and right now im playing ff6 i really like rpgs and played couple of mmorpgs back in the day
however im really new into monthly subscription based mmorpgs i never played wow so im buying the game for a month to try out
if i like it when should i buy the expansions
Don't @crystal spindle
Do free trial first, so you can try it out
^
its the best one
^
Do the trial
You get the entire base game and first expansion to try out for as long as you want with some social restrictions
i will but now im playing the ff6
ff7 remake is not that good imo
i will probably buy the game eventually beacuse i want to play the whole series
The only major restriction is not being able to add people as friends (though they can add you if they're not on trial) and being unable to make your own parties (but you can be invited).
i actually liked it more than the original
i never played the original so can only judge the remake of which i played 15 hours
Ahem, #questions-and-help
is there any monthly discounts
No
no but the game does go on sale sometimes
When you do go off the free trial though really depends on you and when the restrictions get on your nerve and stuff. you absolutely should decide to get the game when you hit the free trial level cap at latest though unless you choose to level up multiple jobs to the level cap
the game goes on sale for 50% every other month or so
this game is not like other final fantasies tho
sub payments don't ever get discounts though
its really just the final fantasy name and style/aesthetic
/doubt
i know but is the story worth playing
yes
yes
Its the main point of the game
i dont know about that one cuz i skip it all lol
i like grinding in games with friends and such
yeah the story is very boring to me in realm reborn atleast
it starts slow but gets better as it goes
when should i buy the expansions
The base game is almost infamously slow and has some really, really bad parts IMO but it really picks up during the expansions and even after the base game.
not until u finish the trial content
@crystal spindle
or that yeah lol
If you want to push it as far as possible, the free trial lets you go all the way to the end of the first expansion and allows you to level every job to 60.
yes
Yes
Yes
yes
yes
Nice guys
Thats why we say it
ok but like from which point should i start paying the game
thats for you to decide
Once you finish the trial stuff
When you...go off the free trial
its up to you , just try out the game and see if you like it
i know some people who started paying for it when they reached level cap cause they didnt want to waste xp
Or when you get real annoyed at the limitations
before you spend all the money on it
some started paying for it when they reached money cap cause they didnt like being poor
maybe i should read the limitations
!faq freetrial
the limitations are not thaat bad tbh
It's there
its just u cant access marketboard, join parties, add people ( they can add you tho), and i think money cap
The main sucky ones is
- no marketboard
- small gil cap
- can't make parties yourself
i know theres a guy on this server who's like 100+ hours in and still on free trial
They aren’t deal breakers
im like 40 hours in still on free trial
40 hours in and i still dont know if im gonna buy the game so yeah i would def try out the trial
Hi. Is it fine to ask questions regarding statics and raiding here? If not, where should I should ask?
shoot
i was thinking about playing with a friend
Is your friend also new?
you can still play with a friend, but if youre both on trial making parties together can be a bit of a hassle
if they're not on trial, theres no issues
he never played an ff game
probably never an mmo rpg too
he might not like this game lol its tough to get into
i will recommend him the free trial
so defffffff do free trial before paying
Okay then yeah you'd need a third person to make a party for the both of you but honestly I'm not sure it's that big of an issue
if thats the case the biggest limitation with both of you being on trial is being unable to form parties together, you'd have to ask someone to make a party with the both of you and then they just leave.
But parties really aren’t necessary
Like, joining a party together isn't that important tbh
yeah it really isnt
after the free trial im thinking about buying the game from steam
If you want to do a dungeon together queuing at the same time usually works
will that cause a problem
No Corp but be mindful if you get the full game on steam you'll have to buy any future expansions off of steam
No you’ll just be locked to Steam for the rest of your purchases
oh maybe i should wait for the new expansion
inventory cap is also sucky for anyone that wanna do DoH levelling
especially since DoHs are interconnected
i heard there is a new one coming out
Thats in 5 months
ehhh, it's coming fall which is pretty far away, can still try the trial anyway
Is it possible to start a Static with less than 8 people?
As in, start with 3 people, and just focus on getting 3 people together on the same time every week and prog e9s with PF. While doing this, try to see how to find the remaining 5 people?
Yes
oh i just remembered we played albion online together
i mean you cant do e9s with 3 people but yes
My static has done that Akira
Cool, progging can usually begin before having a full 8 people right?
yes
It'd just be...unreliable
Yeah
how can i play the free trial of steam
download the free trial on steam
download it on steam
There is a demo button
i bought the latest story skip for aether currents now i cant use it because i already finished msq before.. it also doesnt work with new game+
the skip potion doesn't collect aether currents
is there another way to use story skip or i need to ask for refund?
you can't get a refund
i forgot about demos its been 3 years since i downloaded a demo lol
that's money down the drain
When you download it and launch you'll have to follow instructions to make an account and you're good to go basically
make sure u make the account on mogstation
because if u make it from anywhere else it bugs out sometimes
it did for me atleast
Nah doing it from the launcher is fairly good
maybe it was just me then
the skip potion does unlock aether currents but idk if it works if you already did the story
im hoping that the limitations wont annoy me
including the optional ones?
yeah skip potion unlocked flying in every zone except shb on my alt
They’re slightly annoying at times but nothing I couldn’t live with
theres no way to use story skip? i have it jus cant use it
how far did you do msq
is there an age limit
idk if you can use the story skip if you already finished the story
Um well idk for accounts actually but the game is rated 16 soo
oh im 16
What’s the easiest way to farm Allagan Tomestone of Poetics?
You cannot use the skip potion because it checks using the MSQ achivement
!faq poetics
