mossy pulsar
#

yeah, i'm relearning the game, prob should've started a new toon to make it easier, instead of jumping in w/both feet

glossy flare
#

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

strong saddle
#

^

#

I got bored of leveling rogue and went on my paladin again

mossy pulsar
#

most my jobs are already 60+ except blu

strong saddle
#

Ah

mossy pulsar
#

i'd run DR at w/e level i could, and after bonuses, swap to ones more my level for each job

jolly sorrel
#

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?

faint flare
#

The outfit coffers. Go check the vendor for the stuff. Same guy who does Skybuilder scrips

twilit arch
#

probably isnt close to a complete list

jolly sorrel
#

Thank you.

ripe hound
#

Anyone know how long does it take for the Chicken fate to pop?

cyan ferry
#

Should i keep doing the main missions (they are lvl30 i’m 35) or should i spam dungeons?

faint flare
#

Story is MANDATORY

nimble knoll
#

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?

ripe hound
#

Yes, EVERYTHING is gated by story

#

Ok not everything

#

but still

faint flare
#

There's no point rushing levels

cyan ferry
#

Looks like i’ll spam story missions

ripe hound
#

In general if you want a bit more combat to take a break from story, just level some other classes

cyan ferry
faint flare
#

Again. Story locks EVERYTHING

#

And we mean everything

ripe hound
#

No worry, Glamour is the endgame, but it's also locked behind Story lol

jolly sorrel
#

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

strange coral
#

Faster for what?

jolly sorrel
#

Getting materials.

strange coral
#

Min/bot are easier to target specific materials

#

Less RNG from nodes, and mobs that you can bazooka blast have specific materials

faint flare
#

And ability to use yield increase skills

jolly sorrel
#

Myeah, which makes it seems like FSH is just straight up inferior.

#

min/bot can target materials, have material up skills, and the augur

faint flare
#

Fish is good for scrips

#

At least

strange coral
#

Fisher is really only good if you want to just sit and watch netflix or whatever and not have to move around

faint flare
#

And that

jolly sorrel
#

FSH gets more scrips than min/bot?

faint flare
#

The fish generally get a good amount of scrips since you're not moving alot and can gather more in the time

jolly sorrel
#

I would assume the material-up skills make up for that though. Then again, not moving around is a big speed up for fsh..

novel veldt
#

how many tombstones of allegory do you need to fully upgrade Exarchaic gear, accessories included?

slate arrow
#

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

strange coral
#

Add 700 for a weapon

slate arrow
#

ah, I knew i was forgetting something.

glad widget
#

Does choosing which grand company I join change anything?

slate arrow
#

no

mossy pulsar
#

no

#

i've swapped to each for w/e reason, incl getting the outfits

novel veldt
#

That is a lot of tombstones...

mossy pulsar
#

for now, while there's a small weekly cap on them

remote lintel
#

you might as well just get aug crypt

novel veldt
#

I thought Allegory didnt have a cap?

glossy flare
#

Allegories are not capped anymore

strange coral
#

Not weekly capped, just the usual 2k cap

glossy flare
#

aug cryptlurker is better, but the tomestones for that are actually capped

#

as in the weekly 450 cap

novel veldt
#

I do not have nearly enough freetime to farm for crypt

glossy flare
#

you could do it slowly

faint flare
#

You just do a expert roulette daily

forest lark
#

What is Rynes last name? O.o

glossy flare
#

450 per week + running the alliance raids is okay

remote lintel
#

she doesn't have one

faint flare
#

5 expert roulettes ovee the week caps you

glossy flare
#

and nets you one piec per week

forest lark
#

I thought so

gritty oracle
#

Are all -light plants have this blue/orange colour?

cursive abyss
#

Why have a lot of the extended music tracks for FF14 gone missing on YouTube? StarkZodiark seems to be gone now.

strange coral
#

Probably copyright claims/DMCA takedowns. You'd have to ask the people doing the uploads though

Anyone knows how the great serpent of ronka used to look like before he became not so great

cursive abyss
glossy flare
strange coral
#

Apparently StarkZodiark shut down their youtube channel. According to reddit anyway. I'm not familiar with that channel.

cursive abyss
#

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?

strange coral
#

Guides can go out of date as the game changes

#

Especially job/role guides

leaden ginkgo
#

memories only drop from fates if the quest is open right

faint flare
#

Yes

leaden ginkgo
#

if so can i start that quest again on a character and just collect them for another

#

class*

faint flare
#

As long as its active it will drop

leaden ginkgo
#

ok

faint flare
#

Regardless of job

leaden ginkgo
#

i’ll just keep it open and get a lot better

hollow violet
#

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

faint flare
#

It shouldnt be any different so those guyd are just asses

#

But definitely start using logos actions

#

They make eureka fun

hollow violet
#

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!

faint flare
#

Bloodbath L is amazing for anyone

#

Its like a 90% lifesteal

#

For like 45s

hollow violet
#

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

faint flare
#

To make everything

gilded condor
#

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?

hollow violet
#

For most jobs yeah

#

the ones with the expansions sometimes start at higher levels

faint flare
#

Base jobs start a lv1

hollow violet
#

But it's just your job's level. You don't have to repeat the MSQ levels again

faint flare
#

Expansion jobs start higher

gilded condor
#

So I need to reach 50 at any job, so I can qualify for samurai job right?

faint flare
#

Yes

#

Provided you own the expansions

bright bane
#

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

gilded condor
#

Thank you wise sages, I'll be on my way then

strange coral
bright bane
#

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

strange coral
fringe bone
#

monk or ninja?

modest igloo
#

why not both?

fringe bone
#

cus

bright bane
#

Ooo ok great thank you I will try addon

fringe bone
#

we can only pick one at a time

#

monk or ninja?

modest igloo
#

try both out and pick which one you like

strange coral
#

Whichever looks cooler to you

fringe bone
#

u cant try out

#

both

modest igloo
#

yes you can

#

just swap class

fringe bone
#

no you cant

#

lvl 1 tryouts

#

wont show u anything lol

modest igloo
#

then level them both

fringe bone
#

Cant be bothered

modest igloo
#

Can't help ya, then, whatever looks cooler

fringe bone
#

Which one is easier to play?

modest igloo
#

both are somewhat hard

fringe bone
#

right

#

What makes ninja hard?

modest igloo
#

NIN has lots lots of timers to keep track of

#

MNK has a lot of positionals

fringe bone
#

As in timers you mean ?

modest igloo
#

CD's

fringe bone
#

can u give a simple example?

faint flare
#

Trick attack and fitting everything into it

modest igloo
#

gotta keep up huiton at all times

fringe bone
#

idk what that is

#

haha

gloomy ice
#

Speed buff

modest igloo
#

looks up the rotations

fringe bone
#

So you got a speed buff which is lets say 60 second

faint flare
#

70 seconds

fringe bone
#

and you gotta fit your attacks in that time frame?

modest igloo
#

no, you need to keep up the buff at all times

fringe bone
#

oh

#

ok

faint flare
#

You have to keep it up by refreshing it with Armour crush

fringe bone
#

so keep the buff up at all times when fighting

modest igloo
#

TA has 7 gcds in it right? at level 80

gritty oracle
#

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)?

modest igloo
#

separate

gritty oracle
#

oh, so it's profitable for a bunch of tickets

modest igloo
#

yep, even with no prizes its still a gain

gloomy ice
#

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.

leaden ginkgo
#

Simple/probably silly question: What materia should I meld into my WHM gear? What's recommended at the moment? Thank you!

faint flare
#

Piety to comfort > crit > dh or det > everything else

gritty oracle
#

Will the lore-spoilers channel be open to 5.5 spoilers tomorrow?

finite topaz
leaden ginkgo
#

Where do you get BLU gear?

finite topaz
#

2.34s is also fine

modest igloo
#

same as casting gear

faint flare
#

Blu wears standard casting gear

faint flare
#

Specific job gear is via the class quests

glad widget
#

How can I change my GC chocobo colour? Is this option even available for free trial players?

strange coral
#

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

twilit arch
#

you can be made a tenant though

boreal storm
#

If you're a tenant you may be able to do it

strange coral
#

Ah I didn't think about that

devout crystal
#

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?

faint flare
#

Yes

devout crystal
#

So You can jump region?

leaden ginkgo
#

yep

faint flare
#

Yes

devout crystal
#

Cool

#

How do you get to Coerthas Western Highlands? Through MSQ?

strange coral
#

Yes

slate arrow
#

yes

onyx anchor
#

Aight ty

slate arrow
#

its one of the two zones you can go to after arriving in foundation

leaden ginkgo
#

Where should I be fishing to quickly gain exp at Lv.70?

modest igloo
#

ocean fishing and levequests

leaden ginkgo
#

Do I need to worry about specific gears or baits for ocean fishing?

strange coral
#

Custom deliveries, crystarium deliveries, quitari beast tribe, ocean fishing, and leve quests. Then if all of those are exhausted, do diadem I guess.

agile laurel
#

yes. bait varies by location

#

pay attention to chat, someone usually callls it out

modest igloo
#

yeah but you can buy all three at the place to que

dull ingot
#

Would you guys recommend clearing the msq+raid stories before lvling alt classes or shall do some alt classes first

modest igloo
#

MSQ is highest priority

#

but after that you can tackle leveling or raiding or whatever you want

agile laurel
#

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

stiff skiff
#

Wait what's primal again.

slate arrow
#

depends on the context

stiff skiff
#

Like whejn someone asks you are you on primal, how do you find out.

slate arrow

datacenter

#

!faq servers

zinc orbitBOT

Error!

No tag named servers exists, Kupo!

slate arrow
twilit arch
#

its !faq worldstatus

stiff skiff
#

Is there a way I can change datacenters

strange coral
#

Pay for a home world transfer. Or wait until we get datacenter traveling in the next expansion

stiff skiff
#

How much

strange coral
#

$18 usd

stiff skiff
#

If I'm on Aether and my friend is on Primal we can't play together?

strange coral
#

Not currently, no.

stiff skiff
#

That's some bullshit.

strange coral
#

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

faint flare
#

Data centre visit is coming soon(tm)

stiff skiff
#

Can't even play with the shawty, smh.

modest igloo
#

Why did you pick different dcs?

stiff skiff
#

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.

modest igloo
#

Understandable have a good day

stiff skiff
#

Have a wonderful day sir.

ok cheers i'll tell him

#

When people talk about rotations we mainly talk about single target

modest igloo
#

you dont use it in rortations bc they are single target yeah

faint flare
#

Cause aoe rotations is just "press your aoe buttons dummy"

finite topaz

AoE rotations are extremely simple

And dont require explanation

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?

modest igloo
#

same regardless of lvl

abstract vapor
#

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

faint flare
#

That's the point of engagement

obsidian patio
#

Very fight dependent for the most part

faint flare
#

Use it in place of displacement when it would kill it

obsidian patio
#

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?

outer sky
#

Hi, new player here. Is there player housing beyond just the innkeeps?

slate arrow
#

have you bought the game yet

#

yes

#

Apartments and housing districts

faint flare
#

Actual houses yes

outer sky
#

ok cool

abstract vapor
#

okay I see time to do more research on RDM ty so much

faint flare
#

Good fucking luck getting one

outer sky
#

are they limited?

slate arrow
#

yes

pale jungle
#

What gear is enough for retainer? Lvl 80

faint flare
#

Houses yes

outer sky
#

oof

slate arrow
#

Ilvl 428 is the maximum for yield

60 plots per ward

Retainer Guide

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)

outer sky
#

are they instanced or part of the open world?

faint flare
#

They're open to that ward

slate arrow
pale jungle
#

Aight

faint flare
#

You'll see other people's houses

#

In that ward

outer sky
#

i see

faint flare
#

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

Hi all, I have a question regarding my first time subbing, is this the place? (Sorry for reposting)

outer sky
#

Not enough for all players then

#

got it

patent jolt
#

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.

pale jungle
#

Noted Thx @slate arrow

ocean sigil
#

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?

obsidian patio
faint flare
#

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

ocean sigil
#

Ah okay ty ! 🙂

patent jolt
agile laurel
#

they aren't exactly going to check

west spruce
#

just use fake address

obsidian patio
#

It’ll be fine since you’re not getting anything physical

#

Just keep it written down somewhere if they ask for it

patent jolt
#

Well okay then, thanks all

outer sky
#

Another question, can players marry each other?

faint flare
#

Yes

slate arrow
#

yes, the only restriction being you must be on the same server

outer sky
#

Okay, whats the benefit?

faint flare
#

Ring ti TP to each other

slate arrow
#

cosmetics and a free teleport

faint flare
#

Paid plans give you a 2 seater mount

outer sky
#

Okay, is it likely that ill marry a female character but awkwardly find out that its a dude twice my age

faint flare
#

Do you really care that much?

#

It means fuck all in the grand scheme of things

glossy flare
#

I mean... if you ask any random person to marry you? That has a decent chance... probably

agile laurel
#

yeah you could just

#

not

glossy flare
#

the free TP to each other is not worth much anyway

faint flare
#

Most people do it just for the items then divorce

outer sky
#

I see

glossy flare
#

the marriage feature really isn't something people do for any kind of benefti

#

even though the benefits are okay-ish

outer sky
#

They dont sound too great

agile laurel
#

it may as well be RP fluff

#

fully optional

faint flare
#

Its a 2 seater and some glamour at best

glossy flare
#

Depends on how much you like the person you're marrying

agile laurel
#

absolutely nobody sane is saying 'hey someone marry me so i can get xyz'

outer sky
#

two seater sounds pointless ngl

agile laurel
#

it has its uses

glossy flare
#

tell that to the 8 seater mount that's coming soon

outer sky
#

that sounds pretty cool

#

What does picking a diety at the start do?

Nothing

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? 🥺

hasty nova
#

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

faint flare
#

Yes. Relocation bypasses the timer

hasty nova
#

but the plot size doesnt matter?

twilit arch
#

aye can relocate to any plot size

#

just make sure you've got enough gil to do so

cursive merlin
# twilit arch which zone?

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

hasty nova
#

okey thank you so much :DDD

twilit arch
#

central shroud would be the zone 🙂

robust notch
#

I think you get a discount too when you buy a new plot

hasty nova
#

thats neat!

robust notch
#

According to how much you spent on your old one

twilit arch
#

(Cost of Relocation) = (Destination Plot Price) – (30% of Old Plot Price)

#

@cursive merlin are you on free trial/

cursive merlin
#

Yes! I just started today

twilit arch
#

ahh can't shout then as that'd made it easier to find where you are

cursive merlin
#

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'm already here just need to figure out where they are exactly

@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

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!

At low levels, there are some bosses you can stun

Yes typically

some do some dont

up to 60, yes

for 1-60, you can buy from marketboard

you can also try calling them yeah

Nascent Flash vs Raw Intuition

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.

Here's some maths

#

Tldr is: if you spend gauge its pretty better

Can warriors nascent flash each other with no detriment?

Or doesn't stack?

Yes, its a different buff

Self buff is Flash, given buff is Glint

Then with dual warriors in a fight the only thing to care for is accidently stack of shake it off and reprisals?

Materia & Melding FAQ

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

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?

You do b4 to gain Umbral hearts

!action blizzard iv

**Blizzard IV** : lvl 58 BLM (800 MP) (2.5 second cooldown)(2.8 second base cast time)

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.

civic flare
#

But the opener ends with a b4

finite topaz
#

Skipping ice phase at the beginning means no Umbral hearts when you start

#

Which means shorter fire phase

civic flare
#

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

you can craft it all, but you'll need HQ materials

faint flare
#

Gatherers :p

#

But point stands

crystal bluff
#

my highest crafters are only 60 anyways lel

twilit arch
#

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

crystal bluff
#

for now im just planning on levelling all the DoH up
not even sure if i'll even use them at 80

vernal urchin
#

with the last boss of LotA, if even one player isn't on pad, the shield doesn't go up?

faint flare
#

Minimum is 4 people iirc

vernal urchin
#

cool cause everyone blamed me for the shield not going up :(

crystal spindle
#

hey guys im thinking about buying the game can someone help me

wintry chasm
#

shoot

crystal spindle
#

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

fading helm
#

play ff9

#

trust me

crystal spindle
#

if i like it when should i buy the expansions

wintry chasm
#

Don't @crystal spindle

boreal storm
#

Do free trial first, so you can try it out

faint flare
#

^

fading helm
#

its the best one

wintry chasm
#

^

faint flare
#

Do the trial

wintry chasm
#

Use the free trial

#

don't just outright buy the game

fast talon
#

There is a very, very generous free trial

#

Could literally last you for months

wintry chasm
#

You get the entire base game and first expansion to try out for as long as you want with some social restrictions

crystal spindle
fading helm
#

ff7 remake is not that good imo

crystal spindle
#

i will probably buy the game eventually beacuse i want to play the whole series

fast talon
#

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).

crystal spindle
vernal urchin
#

start with the free trial and buy the game when it gets discounted

#

which is often

fading helm
#

i never played the original so can only judge the remake of which i played 15 hours

boreal storm
crystal spindle
faint flare
#

No

fading helm
#

no but the game does go on sale sometimes

wintry chasm
#

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

vernal urchin
#

the game goes on sale for 50% every other month or so

fading helm
#

this game is not like other final fantasies tho

vernal urchin
#

sub payments don't ever get discounts though

fading helm
#

its really just the final fantasy name and style/aesthetic

wintry chasm
crystal spindle
wintry chasm
#

yes

crystal bluff
#

yes

fast talon
#

I would say so, but it starts off slow

#

Like...mad slow

faint flare
#

Its the main point of the game

fading helm
#

i dont know about that one cuz i skip it all lol

crystal spindle
#

i like grinding in games with friends and such

fading helm
#

yeah the story is very boring to me in realm reborn atleast

vernal urchin
#

it starts slow but gets better as it goes

crystal spindle
#

when should i buy the expansions

fast talon
#

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.

fading helm
#

not until u finish the trial content

fading helm
#

or that yeah lol

fast talon
#

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.

crystal spindle
#

can i convert an free trial account to a paid one

#

if i like the game

fast talon
#

yes

faint flare
#

Yes

wintry chasm
#

Yes

fading helm
#

yes

crystal bluff
#

yes

wintry chasm
#

Nice guys

faint flare
#

Thats why we say it

crystal spindle
#

ok but like from which point should i start paying the game

fast talon
#

thats for you to decide

faint flare
#

Once you finish the trial stuff

wintry chasm
#

When you...go off the free trial

fading helm
#

its up to you , just try out the game and see if you like it

fast talon
#

i know some people who started paying for it when they reached level cap cause they didnt want to waste xp

faint flare
#

Or when you get real annoyed at the limitations

fading helm
#

before you spend all the money on it

fast talon
#

some started paying for it when they reached money cap cause they didnt like being poor

crystal spindle
#

maybe i should read the limitations

wintry chasm
#

!faq freetrial

zinc orbitBOT
fading helm
#

the limitations are not thaat bad tbh

wintry chasm
#

It's there

faint flare
#

Primarily social stuff and gil cap

#

And no market board

fading helm
#

its just u cant access marketboard, join parties, add people ( they can add you tho), and i think money cap

wintry chasm
#

The main sucky ones is

  1. no marketboard
  2. small gil cap
  3. can't make parties yourself
fast talon
#

i know theres a guy on this server who's like 100+ hours in and still on free trial

boreal storm
#

They aren’t deal breakers

fading helm
#

im like 40 hours in still on free trial

fast talon
#

yeah i was on free trial for at least two months before buying it

#

around last year

fading helm
#

40 hours in and i still dont know if im gonna buy the game so yeah i would def try out the trial

compact jackal
#

Hi. Is it fine to ask questions regarding statics and raiding here? If not, where should I should ask?

crystal bluff
#

shoot

crystal spindle
fading helm
#

you can still play with them

#

you just cant form a party

wintry chasm
#

Is your friend also new?

fast talon
#

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

crystal spindle
#

probably never an mmo rpg too

fading helm
#

he might not like this game lol its tough to get into

crystal spindle
#

i will recommend him the free trial

fading helm
#

so defffffff do free trial before paying

wintry chasm
#

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

fast talon
#

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.

boreal storm
#

But parties really aren’t necessary

wintry chasm
#

Like, joining a party together isn't that important tbh

fading helm
#

yeah it really isnt

crystal spindle
#

after the free trial im thinking about buying the game from steam

wintry chasm
#

If you want to do a dungeon together queuing at the same time usually works

crystal spindle
#

will that cause a problem

faint flare
#

No

#

You can do the trial from steam to start if you really want

wintry chasm
#

No Corp but be mindful if you get the full game on steam you'll have to buy any future expansions off of steam

boreal storm
#

No you’ll just be locked to Steam for the rest of your purchases

i heard there is a new one coming out

faint flare
#

Thats in 5 months

wintry chasm
#

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?

crystal spindle
#

oh i just remembered we played albion online together

remote lintel
#

i mean you cant do e9s with 3 people but yes

wintry chasm
#

My static has done that Akira

ripe hound
#

Cool, progging can usually begin before having a full 8 people right?

crystal bluff
#

yes

wintry chasm
#

It'd just be...unreliable

ripe hound
#

Cool lol

#

More like a "PF together" party

#

It's something lol

wintry chasm
#

Yeah

crystal spindle
#

how can i play the free trial of steam

remote lintel
#

download the free trial on steam

crystal bluff
#

download it on steam

wintry chasm
#

There is a demo button

tacit mesa
#

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+

crystal spindle
#

im sorry i cant see the option

#

slate arrow
wintry chasm
#

bottom right

crystal spindle
#

oh

#

thanks

tacit mesa
#

is there another way to use story skip or i need to ask for refund?

slate arrow
#

you can't get a refund

crystal spindle
#

i forgot about demos its been 3 years since i downloaded a demo lol

slate arrow
#

that's money down the drain

wintry chasm
fading helm
#

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

wintry chasm
#

Nah doing it from the launcher is fairly good

fading helm
#

maybe it was just me then

remote lintel
crystal spindle
#

im hoping that the limitations wont annoy me

remote lintel
#

yeah skip potion unlocked flying in every zone except shb on my alt

boreal storm
tacit mesa
#

theres no way to use story skip? i have it jus cant use it

remote lintel
#

crystal spindle
#

tacit mesa
#

#

remote lintel
#
