during things like trash pulls, general boss autos, etc shields will just fall off after 3-5 seconds and you have basically nothing left on the tank forcing you to re-apply the shield constantly
it also has to do with MP and GCD efficiency. Assuming you don't need the shields to prevent fatal damage, diurnal is generally the better sect assuming you don't have another astrologian in the party.
AST regens also stack with WHM regens, unlike AST shields and SCH shields overwriting each other.
im not a big brain healer but even scholar, the shield healer, doesn't actually end up shielding literally all damage, most healing is either regens or just raw healing
shielding takes GCDs, unless it's seraph. And SCH has notoriously weak gcd healing
People cite succor and adlo calling scholar a shield healer, which is a bit misleading because they're some of your lowest priority tools by 80
whats the disavantage of using samurai?
there isn't one really?
play what you like
hopefully someone an help me, i changed my job from arcanist to fisherman to cook and now back to arcanist, but my quest log isn;t showing my job quest
it is still showing my cooking quest
i am on PC
is bozja affected by duty finder language settings?
no
@cyan prairie relog?
quest log shows all quests you have active, it doesn't change as you change classes or jobs
if you don't have a class quest in your log then you didn't pick one up
talk to the chocobokeep person near the MCH guild, that bird can take you to the Coerthas Western Highlands.
that is weird i could remember i had uncompleted quest
Just be sure to attune to the aetheryte there
relog?
still cant go
hmm, try one of the airship NPCs south of the AST guild then
i did
so my game has started crashing on startup, error 1b1
Same as any job, you'll probably suck at first
it says something like the air isnt clear try agai ntomorrow
Have you tried talking to gibrillont at the forgotten knight?
And you're sure the Chocobo Porter by the MCH guild doesn't have an option to Falcon's Nest?
Yeah he's only just started hw
your MSQ, "The Better Half", is the reason you can't go to the other zones yet
it's only the 3rd quest
I don't think he gets access yet
Go progress your msq
Yeah he hasn't even gotten to the split quest line yet
anyone know what would cause my game to start crashing on character load?
Only solution I've seen so far just rebooted
Hey this might be a dumb question but why can't I use some of my actions like raw intuition, equilibrium, fell cleave and decimate? I'm a level 69 warrior but it keeps saying 'action not learned yet'?
Are you in a dungeon/solo duty etc?
And have you been keeping up with your job quests?
I'm not in a dungeon, I know it syncs you to a lower level then right?
I thought I'd finished my warrior job quests...
They add more every expansion
Is there a way to find out? I'm pretty sure I finished them... Lol
You get new sets of job quests every expansion
Luckily, it should pop up right under the MSQ tracker in the top left.
also the skills you listed are exactly the ones unlocked through HW job quests
I think I turned that off (the msq tracker in the top right corner)
Ahhh okay, that would be why i don't have them then haha
Thank you
I'll figure out where to pick up my next job quest
Thank you!
You can set it to disable itself automatically when you get up to date, but I'd recommend leaving it on as it'll show when job quests are available
I turned it off cause I have a tiny computer screen and I wanted less clutter haha
ic ic
Also at the end of your arr job quests you're told a new series of quests will open once you begin heavensward
Same goes with stormblood
But yes, just turned it back on and can confirm that I have a level 50 job quest waiting for me lol ππ
slight judgement
Ahhh yup yup i think i remember that happening haha
Totally fair on the judgement hahaha
Anyways priorities should be job quests > msq until the end of stormblood
Otherwise it's like only using 3 Chambers in a revolver you've been playing severely nerfed
Sweet, yeah I'm up to date on the msq I just forgot all about the job quests once i finished ARR ones
Hahaha
Also you get gear at the level cap of the expansion
Which is very necessary in stormblood as you won't get access to poetics gear til you finish the msq
Yep been finding it really hard to pull in level 60 dungeons and that's probs why

Yes, yes it is
Hahaha
Okay thanks!
I've got a lot of catching up to do now but at least I'll have access to these actions soon lol
Have fun, I the warrior stormblood quests are some of my favourites
Also your level 70 job quest is VERY VERY important
As it gives your BEST skill
!skill Inner Release
Allows the use of Beast Gauge actions without cost and nullifies Stun, Sleep, Bind, Heavy, and most knockback and draw-in effects.
Additional Effect: Guarantees that all attacks are critical and direct hits
Duration: 10s
Additional Effect: Extends Storm's Eye duration by 15s to a maximum of 60s
Oooh that looks fancy
Berserk but way better
Yeah, Inner Release is Berserk times 10 in how powerful it feels
!action fell cleave
imho the names should be swapped but I digress
You get to spam 5 of these in a row, with them all being direct crits
!faq meta @void venture
when doing athenian manipulation does collectability matter?
https://www.myinstants.com/instant/fell-cleave-23167/ to congratulate you @broken star
Are you talking about aetherial reduction? If so, yes
The purity rating and items you get are determined by collectibility.
Higher collectability = better items
are maps at higher levels like 80 from shb mining/botany deposits ?
Yup
trying to find one now they can be from anywhere right iβm in lakeland
Mining nodes n of Fort jobb, trees ne of ostall
Rotate between nodes as a map isn't guaranteed
ok i see
Hahaha thank you! π
Is there any kind of in-depth Bozja/Delubrum guide when it comes to gear, potions and lost actions?
I've tried looking around, but I haven't found much
!faq bozjadrops
I meant more in regards to "Which lost actions should you use?"
Because I don't understand the DPS in Delubrum. I see plenty of people between 11-15k dps, but then there's some guy up there at 25k dps
and I just don't see how?
Lost Flare is pretty OP
Healers and tanks get pretty powerful essences for them to make them into pseudo DPS
as is Lost Seraph Strike
!action Essence of the Aetherweaver
!action deep essence of the aetherweaver
Iirc theres an even stronger green one too
There's an even stronger one, but it cripples their healing
!action Deep Essence of the Profane
I currently use Aetherweaver when I heal, Skirmisher when I DPS and Martialist if I tank
literal green dps
But I'm guessing the 25k+ dps guys just use Lost Flare and shit?
Making use of Banners and actions like Seraph Strike are also big damage boosters
yep, lost flare is basically a personal LB if you can handle the extreme MP Cost as anything but BLM
Going from RuneScape to FFXIV makes me realise how shit the FFXIV wikis are
The RuneScape wiki spoils you
But hey, at least I can ask people here 
I'll look into all that, ty!
The gamer escape wiki is pretty good but the console games wiki is unreliable
i only like console games wiki for a few select pages, like the Main Scenario Quest list.
since it's a good way to gauge progress through the story.
Gamerescape is sooooo slow like 80% of the time I use it
It has better info overall than consolegames though
if you want a pure database-style website, there's garland tools.
Yeah, I use garland all the time
It just doesn't have info regarding "tips and tricks" type stuff
Just like programming the best skill to have is Google fu
how much should tanks pull on early dungeons? <lvl 40 and such
As much as possible
depends on the party make-up and dungeon
As much as you feel comfortable doing, but you should be able to handle at least 2 packs at once
As much as they can handle
some DPS don't get their aoes until much later, like dragoon and ninja, and summoner to a lesser extent
This. Two pods if you don't have AoE
so only having you be the source of AoE damage can be a real drag for big pulls
As a tank, you have to keep an eye on what type of healer your healer is, and how much damage your party is doing overall
If you see great dps, you can pull more than usual
It's something you get a feel for when you do dungeons more and more
Also, keeping your gear "updated" helps a lot as well
Never want to have underleveled gear when tanking
ah, i have usually been pulling 2 groups so far
how bad ui change to 4k will effect the fps?
So long story short, depends, but at least 2 groups would be expected
Hi, quick question, I am looking for 12 ish or more buttons mouse. Anyone have suggestions?
Depends on your pc
Shouldn't affect your fps much at all. It's just higher quality images.
Iirc there were some issues on ps5 but that's still in beta so /shrug
I know my longterm MMO gamer friends have used the Corsair Scimitar and the Razer Naga
But might have to look up reviews of some mmo mice as well
Most of the main beta issues got fixed, like not being able to directly screenshot+share
I have looked for some but they looked a bit dated, so was wondering if it's still the same
Since I click my skills, I am looking for something better
How hard is o4s
I have a Corsair Scimitar and I like it.
Sync
Reasonably difficult it's the end of a tier so that's expected
But even synced you'll also have like 60 extra item levels compared to when it was current content
Also you'll have echo
Kk
Also has a phase 2 that's not in normal
for level 60 BLM rotation, is it good idea to just spam fire IV then fire III at the end til out of mana
or use fire 1 to keep astral fire after 3 cast from Fire IV under umbral then fire IV the rest (fire III at the end)
!faq blmleveling
Fire 1 to keep astral fire
Ohh wow, that bot feature exists? It will answer my future questions
Only for blm
If you want to investigate bot commands go to #kupo-bot-spam
Awn, not bad tho!
i skipped the cutscene after the bozja castrum raid because i had to go and i can't find it in the unending journey
help
how many marks would spamming frontline give you? wins/losses on average. it is 500 third/700ishsecond/1k first?
damage wise that is proven to be higher than just spamming fire IV until the original astral fire ran out?
Absolutely and unquestionably
By a landslide
Not 100% I just cast fire 1 cuz it's got a faster cast time
Not dropping astral fire means not losing enochian which means more uptime
Astral Fire III is an 80% damage buff to your fire spells
You should never ever EVER be without umbral ice or astral fire iii
note: outside of daily that is. I'm assuming it's just the same thing but minus the 1k you get from daily
Plus Enochian is another 15% multiplicatively with that
Also I donβt know why youβre saying fire 3 at the end?
You donβt use fire 3 at the end of fire phase.
You only use fire 3 to switch from ice to fire, or when you have a proc.
π i see
is there a way to swap between hotbars with a single key
Change your keybinds
like press sift and swapt hotbar 1 for 2 and back
Why would you need to swap hotbars with a key?
Can't you just have hotbar 1 and 2 showing?
I mean you could probably do both? have hotbars showing but a modifier that.. switches them?
I think my friend does that actually
Why do ppl join pf groups then go offline?
hotbar jumping
?
some people have their own reasons, others loot and scoot, others think it's too slow and not up to parr as a party
it's just smth that happens. people get mad about it pretty often and rightfully so
you join a farm party and it's like... you expect to be there for a while
shouldn't immediately leave
Oh, I always felt bad for kicking them when everyone else was good to go, I was just wondering if there was a benefit to it or something
ohhhhhh
then they might have dced or just gone off
if you can't wait you can't wait I guesss
don't feel too bad
I might give them a bit of time but otherwise it's not sustainable if we want to get things done
π€ Okay, it's just a practice run that I do mostly
yeah dw about it
Is it more efficient to to make a party through the recruitment channel here?
Not usually and it'll depend on the time of day/content
Depends on what you're making a party for. PF will be better in most cases since that's visible to the entire datacenter. The recruitment channel here is only visible by people here that happen to have that datacenter role.
You might want the switch up down keybinds either

does anyone have an image reference that can teach me the ninja rotation/opener?
!faq ninopener
I saw a good one for black mage a while back
hi guys, when it says fixed rate drop, does it mean its 100% or just it has a hidden value for the items to drop?
thank you, and I got a question since mines is still gonna be leveling through 1-50
what would my rotation look like around there?
Just remove skills you dont have really... Or watch Weskalbers videos
Has the genderlock ever been removed from any mogstation glam?
I'm not familiar with Weskalber, I'm guessing he's like that chick from HW that did explainations on their openings every patch drop?
a lot of items still have them, some of them being exchangeable
No, he's new afaik
I'll take a look thank you for the advice
Wdym exchangeable?
By the way, with armory bonus, is PoTD faster, or would regular dungeons before the 15 min marker be faster leveling?
since fates
gotcha
was gonna do PoTD to help the wife with SMN rotation but she's kinda passed out
she's a MNK main lol
Can i download the ps4 free trial version on ps5 and play cuz the beta version on the ps5 has ended
You should still be able to download the PS5 trial version
Small question. What floor do u obtain the potd weapons?
i just hit 80 on both gathered, iβm super broke though. how can/should i gear up my gathers?
You can start with the white scrip gear, Landsaint. And then buy (MB) or craft Aesthete gear after that if you need
some of the stuff, like the wedding outfits, and such can be exchanged in grid by an npc
it can swap between genders, but that's as far as it goes at the moment. There's a couple of items that are unisex.
anyone here able to help with the free trial version? having trouble with the installation.
did you try using the Steam trial installation
no, I'm using directly from ffxiv free trial site
Heavensward expansion now included in the Free Trial! Play up to level 60 for free without time restrictions.
Which version of the free trial, and what kind of trouble are you having?
What is your trouble?
how can i get white scrips if iβm in 70 gear at 80
I'm trying to launch the game for the first time then got this error
iβm in land kings
Oh the directx error.
On the launcher, you can try disabling DX11 and see if it launchs without issues? or perhaps wait for a more detailed solution
mhm, also am trying to install it on windows 8. Not sure if it'll be a problem for the os
I don't think being on Windows 8 should cause a problem.
What's your graphics card by chance?
Custom deliveries should still be doable. Even the ones for past expansions will give white scrip if you're level 80.
I did, and it still give the same error like that
Although it may or may not help, make sure that Internet Explorer is up to date.
as for the graphics I'm using nvidia gtx 1400
hmm, I think I got my internet explorer updated to the latest one already.
Double check to be sure. The XIV launcher runs on IE for some stupid reason, and not having it up to date can cause a whole variety of problems.
will do. Also perhaps any chance that the graphics card wasn't sufficient enough for the game?
I don't think the gtx 1400 meets the minimum specs
ok ty
Oh, you're right
mb
That's 1.0
minimum spec is a gtx 9600, and that came out 3 years after the 1400 so uhh
There's the current
I don't think you can run it
!faq benchmark
For gathering collectibles for white scrip, the leveling rotations might work. You just won't get as much per node as you would with level 80 gear. DoL food might also help if you can afford it or craft it.
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1sdQEAMk1YmCpDuPTemlQfsaxsGfcyyYz8Cx7lETTbmc/edit#bookmark=id.5vf2d1w4ysdm
ookk will try the benchmark. Thanks a lot again!
@leaden ginkgo try disabling DX11 on the launcher in the settings
maybe it'll launch on dx9?
worth a shot before you do anything more indepth
and yeah you do disable/enable that on the launcher
it's this one right?
oh, now there's no error but weird with it didn't even want to launch
could you try closing any instances of it running on the task bar
and try redoing it
dx11 has been tossing that error for a lot of people.
it might be their video card if not OS,
I did, no other apps are running except the ffxiv
yeah, I recommend you give the bench mark a try it should give you a clue if you can run it
im lv 47 and the main is quest 49 what can i do to level up
I definitely think it's their card, it's 16 years old
Your leveling roulette is a great way
Do your daily roulette in about 20 minutes.
Do your daily roulettes if you haven't yet
this thing?
Yes
it gives alot of exp?
Yes
yeah, I think I'm just gonna download the benchmark and see if it can actually running/not. Thanks a lot again for the support and sorry if asking too much π
Reset is in about 20 minutes, so if you're a tank or healer you might be able to get "yesterday's" reward and then also "today's".
If you're a dps, you may as well wait.
Sad DPS noises
bruh
good luck lad
ffxiv has blue screened me like 4 times in the last 30 minutes
@void venture Also, if you haven't done so, your class hunt logs can be a minor source of xp.
Does ff14 blue screen you often?
never
Are you maybe running other apps that might be causing a bad interaction?
i never blue screen or lag in this game which is crazy because i wish apex was the same
iβm not
fan fest is tonight or tmr night
tmrw
Did you recently upgrade an NVIDIA driver?
iβm on playstation
Ohh
Hey everyone! What youtube channel would you recommend for new players to learn about the game?
That changes the kinds of questions we can ask.
weskalber, for classes
Depends on what you're looking to learn.
Do cold wrapped lock boxes drop from all pagos mobs? Or just 35+?
PS4 or PS5?
classes would be a good start, but things like, begginer tips would be welcome as well
Mrhappy1227 releases content about pretty much everything ff14
zeplaHQ for generally ffxiv-themed content
And if PS5, which version of the PS5 client (free trial vs. open beta)
I'll second weskalber for his your first day series which does a good general guide for newbies
!faq newplayertips
Not a video, but this is basically everything you need to know as a brand new player.
Also, while not a full ff14 youtuber, Josh Strife Hayes has a great video for learning many of the systems
For classes, weskalber or Larryzaur
Although Larryzaur's videos are a bit more meme-y
larry for a brief intro of roughly what it is lol and wesk for actual openers and stuff
larryzaur helps you get a vibe of what you want to be which is neat LMAO but anything past that, look somewhere else
Keep in mind too, that the game will pretty much walk you through how to play, and give you pop up tips any time you encounter any new part of the system.
A friend of mine recommended larry to me, but it's to meme for me, I will take a look at those channels you gave me
tnx for the help π
Remember too that the class you choose to start is not the class you have to play the entire game as.
^
You can swap freely once you hit level 10 with your first class and complete the class quest at that level.
yeah that's a great aspect of the game for me, really like not having to start from scratch when playing a new class
whats the think with removing pets ?
I mean, you do have to start from your new class's minimum level (1 for ARR classes, 30 for HW classes, 50 for SB classes, and 60 for ShB classes).
But you don't have to start the entire story over again.
wym?
endwalker
Nothing
There's no confirmation they're removing pets
Rumours and slander
It's speculation. There was a mention of reworking summoner in an interview or something and people are making wild guesses.
Endwalker isn't removing pets as far as anyone knows?
Just summoner being reworked again
reworked ;-;
Just belts
welp
They almost always rework classes to some extent in every expansion.
how many more hour until daily duty roulette reset for jp server?
if i hand in levequest for; blacksmithing while im a samurai - it only levels the blacksmithing right?
8 minutes
All servers reset dailies at the same time afaik
You need to unlock flying in each expansion zone
You have to unlock flying there.
oh fr??
Flying is a per zone bases
Yes
!faq flying
'How can I unlock Flying?'
Flying is unlocked through the collecting of a zone's Aether Currents, with every zone having ten 'green' Aether Currents found in the overworld and five 'yellow' Aether Currents obtained through the MSQ and side quests marked with a plus sign. Azys Lla is the only zone to not have any green Aether Currents. You must collect all Aether Currents in a zone to be able to fly.
Flying is unlocked in A Realm Reborn zones simply by completing the level 50 story quest 'The Ultimate Weapon'.
'Where can I find the green Aether Currents?'
Upon obtaining the Story Quest 'Divine Intervention' you get the Aether Compass, which is a key item you can use to locate the nearest non-quest Aether Current. This can be set to your Hotbar for ease of use. Alternatively, you can use this website to show the location of all Aether Currents for a zone. http://heavenswhere.com/
By doing all the msq in that expansion im guessing
HW, SB, and ShB zones all have 10 overworld and 5 quest currents to unlock.
And collecting aether currents
Four of the quest currents are behind 
Right
The fifth is the final MSQ for that zone.
idk what that means
ty
explain it in monkey language
still dont get it >.>
You find things in the field
Hello I have a question, I just purchased FF14 Shadowbringers Edition on Steam and I just finished making my SE account, where do I find my registration code ?
what hings
Aether currents
Green wind swirls
right
You gave a compass to help find them
Right
You get given a key item to locate the field ones
who gives me that compass
Other currents are unlocked by blue quests
Go Travel > Aether Currents to see which ones you're missing
The story
You'll get the compass through the MSQ
You'll get it during main story
After your initial visits to the Sea of Clouds and Coerthas
i should?
No
Right click the game on steam and select View CD Keys (it might be under properties these days)
Not if it's his first visit to Sea of Clouds
Ah my mistake
@fringe bone You'll get it after you do both of the first visits to Camp Cloudtop (where you are) and Falcon's Nest.
The MSQ will merge again.
Would using new Nier gear be better than the 510 Bozja for stats? The Bozja has more materia slots but the Nier is better stats overall
Not sure which one would be better to use
Yes
Yes
Higher ilevel = better
Main stat >> substats
Item level > most else
cam cloudtop is the one all the way up top ?
You are at Camp Cloudtop
It's where you are now
It's an aetheryte
West coerthas highlands
You go there with the other msq branch
They tell you how
^ the MSQ splits into two branches there and one takes you there the other takes you to where you are now
So I equipped ny job stone and when I enter a dungeon it still shows the gladiator symbol
Sorry one more question, Is there a reason my code is coming up invalid ? Only the Shadowbringers code
Screenshot your character menu?
Do you own the base game?
Do you own starter edition?
?
You might need the base game code entered first
At work atm. But I renember it showing it when I was playing earlier
Did you remember to register the job stone to your gear set?
I'm sure you just did something wrong Didi like changing classes and swapping back and not re-equipping the stone or something Β―_(γ)_/Β―
It happens a lot
what lvl does gunbreaker start?
60
Need to be 60 to start it too
i know
To become a DRK do I need to complete both Seventh Umbral and Astral Main Quests?
You'll find that all the expansion jobs outside of the HW ones start at the level they can be unlocked at
Yes
You gotta get to Heavensward main story
yes
Can you show that on Mogstation?
thank you very much!
So from experience, I know that I can't have more than one undeciphered Gazel map in my inventory, but can I have more than one deciphered Gazel map?
No
you're inputting the expansion code in the right place, yes?
You can have 1 deciphered map, 1 indeciphered map, 1 map in your saddle bag, 1 map per retainer and as many in your mail
Where'd you get the code anyway?
steam...
ah
And did you buy the starter edition on steam?
^
it was a bundle.
If you didn't get the starter edition from steam, and mogstation doesn't say you're a steam account you can't use it
I mean, for the sake of my sanity could you take a picture of that page again but also do the bits above that table too?
Did you previously purchase and register the non-Steam PC version?
^
yeah okay so
Okay, followup question. You said you bought a bundle from Steam?
yes
What exactly did the bundle say was included?
Yeah that seems fine
Misread that
I can't read the end of the ShB code but I assume it says NA lol
I would hope
Well if you are actually using the right code and it's not working contact support of some kind....I'm not sure if you go to steam support or SE support but somewhere
Everything suggests it should work
Ok I got it
Just had to refresh 20 times π
Oh
...
.>
I literally imputed the same code
20 times
works the last time
I appreciate the both of you very much
hope I didnt take up too mcuh time
TY!
Im so Excited to start playing l0l !
Does the light step (on a zeta) take less time than the book step? Assuming I spam unsync tamtara
How do you enter dirty rotten azulmagia dungeon? it's not on my duty list
NPC near the mining guild. Has the blue mask icon on the map
ty
It's not a dungeon
yeah, cos you're not beholden to fate timers with light stage
It's part of the Masked Carnivale.
Basically puzzle fights
Figure out which blu mage spells you'll need to beat this challenge
Can I get an opinion on the relic weapon quest, worth it or not? I've done up through the Atma version and disovered there's nine books worth of work for the next part.
Old relics are purely glamour
its entirely up to you whether its worth the effort for glamour
strongly recommend tho to save it for lvl 80 when it will be much easier to complete if you're not 80 already
my highest classes are 56
Old glamour and the arr are probably the grindiest relics we've ever had
yeah...definitely recommend putting that to the side for now
ARR relic reeks 'we haven't had chance to learn from our bad decisions yet'
The augmented ironworks are just as good, if not better considering how annoying it is to get optimal materia
Basically, if you want the glamour, it's worth it.
yeah the ilevel for the relic weapon is 135 at the highest version, the ironworks is already 130
If you're doing it to actually use, not so much.
Old relics are not worth it for a functional weapon
I've done them all for glamour and cuz I was bored. Still not worth it
You'll be 70 by the time you're done
With astrologian, what sect do i use in dungeons?
well the atma looks nice, back to ishgard quests I guess
Diurnal 99% of the time
Diurnal is recommended for ease of use.
I know in 8 mans i use shield if with a WHM or regen if with a scholar
Not always
Okay thanks π
But if you're comfortable with Noct then you can use that.
Diurnal is fine with white mage
Yeah, you can double stack regens with WHM
Only if you NEED Shields do you shield with white mage
Which is only in high end content
Diurnal just flat out heals more
Oh okay cool π Ok thank you
Basically, if you're comfortable using Noct in 8-man content, and your healer is a WHM or another AST, then go for it. Otherwise, you can safely stick to Diurnal and you'll be fine.
Okay great, thank you guys
Hi, i'm going to give the trial of FF XIV a go, can anyone recommend a good youtube channel for info on the classes and races? I don't like going in blind and would like to get a feel of what I might want to start and enjoy before jumping in.
^
Should you play x seires if you want it in semi meme format
Unlike wow, every race can play every class, and you can be every class on one character
Is there no story/lore difference? Exactly the same game for any race? Purely aesthetic?
iirc. yes.
just aesthetic
is there a way to buy flight or something im getting really sick of walking all the way across the map and back
Yes cause stuff is balanced here
your race has no bearing on the story, beyond a few minor dialogue notes at a few times
There's no canon backstory for your character so you just headcanon what you want
The races do have lore but you can get whatever race lore from quests as any race
there are 'stat differences' but we're talking literally so miniscule it's invisible
Not really without skipping story
the starting stats you get from races are a drop in the bucket compared to the amount of stats you get from gear
yeah the racial stat differences are straight up insignificant
There is no longer star differences they removed it didnβt they?
Thank you, well that makes it easier. I'll find something I like the look of. I'll check out the classes info, it is good to know you can change classes.
the only thing that determines where you start is your starting class
no racial stats still exist
There is, but it's like 3 points
they just don't matter
Yea, every job below the level of your highest gets 100% more exp until 70
Is there anything else to take in to consideration?
You might get slightly different dialogue lines depending on your race, but otherwise itβs purely an aesthetic choice
50% to 80
Uhh not really, you can basically play every job to 60 if you wanted to on the trial, you'd hit the gil cap though and waste a bunch of money probably
As is you usually hit the trial gil cap before you get one job to 60
Yeh i'll pick up the starter pretty quickly on both PS4 and PC I think.
not really? just note that conjurer is a healer, and gladiator and marauder are tanks - arcanist starts as dps but can become a healer later
I don't know the ins and outs but ffxiv is finicky afaik with different versions on one account
Oh, I thought you logged in to the same account and could play character on different devices?
I think you can for pc and ps4 but I know pc steam and pc square store versions you cannot
you can
I don't play on ps4 tho
i mean he said he's picking it up for pc and ps4
so steam/non steam isn't an issue for him
You have to buy the game plus current expac on pc and ps4 tho correct?
yes
Yea :(
That is how it reads if I got to the latest expac, would need on both.
I dont understand why i cant use it? I dont have any welkin pieces so why does it say It say that?
It's the belt
What is the end game like? Raiding/dungeons and whatnot?
Uhh it's fun if you like that kind of stuff, it's pretty late into the teir and the next expac is coming out in a few months
Level cap dungeons are shit for xp
Msq roulette, roulettes in general, after no more roulette highest lvl dg you can do
And roulettes are once per day
So just pick the highest lvl dunegon i can do after my daily roulette ?
That's not a level cap dungeon yes
If you already finished shb bozja is ok
wdym level cap dungeon?
Thanks, I like end game in ESO and WoW, sounds like a good time for me to start the game then ready for next expac π
50/60/70
whats that?
Are level cap dungeons
oh ok
Bozja southern front, it's for making the current relic stuff
anyone play ffxiv through steam?
Yes
if you're 55, you should be doing the 55 dungeon
What 55 dungeon?
Unless youβre not in HW yet
im in hw
no

that's dusk vigil
do your msq
oh
that's 51
You may have to unlock the highest one you can do with a sidequest Idk tho
do your msq
i dont wanna msq
you have to
it's literally mandatory and locks all content
is there any way i can change my acc form steam to the retail launcher
i know
You are gated by doing the main story not level
no @void venture
but i dont feel like doing it now
msq is the easiest way to level
You get exp from msq, you want exp...so like
overleveling your msq achieves quite literally nothing
You will hit max level before you finish the story from story exp alone
I dont want to overlevel
i have other classes to play msq with
i want to make my pld lvl 60 thats it
you're overleveling
Heyo! New catboi to the game and was curious as to if there are any good class rotation guides, or websites to stay away from. I know icyviens was notorious for bad guides for WoW.
Like i said i have other classes i play msq with
will anything bad happen if i play on steam?
No
the Balance discord, and saltedxiv/akhmorning websites are the main sources for guides @left crag
!faq balance
Avoid desperius, the yter, his rotation guides are infamously bad
otherwise listen to the balance and saltedxiv
Ty!
If beginner and want a guide for levelling go weskalber, if you want endgame raid strats and rotations go for the balance
T hanks
can you turn of char voices but not cutscene voices?
they're locked to the same volume slider
So class/job level is the only level? There is no like, character wide level
nope
So if you switch class its actually just like starting over?
you don't need to repeat msq though
Fan Festival is happening at 6pm PST tomorrow, right?
yes
What is msq
!event
main story quests

is there any reason to pick up non-grade-4 resources in the diadem?
Well its better than starting new characters i guess
Nah
ah, ok
My immersion, reeee
if you're trying for the achievements, then yeah can grab the non grade 4 stuff to craft previous stage's experts. but if you aren't going for those, then no just focus on grade 4 stuff
ah, i see, thanks!
I just unlocked dancer, is there ironworks armor available for them, or should I even bother buying it if there is?
Shire at 60
Dancer starts at 60 so there's no gear for them outside of normal range/aiming gear
Whats shire? :/
Lv60 version of ironworks
ah ok, do you buy it at the same place?
Okay. The good news is that I made gil from my retainers. The bad news is that I lack the control to make the Chivalric Doublet of Healing.
Currently. My Control on my Weaver is 378.
HQ gear, melds and food
But the Control required to make it is 589.
Well, I think I'll just start off wit ha glad tonight once the game downloads, thanks for the tips. I tried when it first came out and really didn't like it. Years later now, lets see if I enjoy it more. I see it has changed a lot.
And yes I can use some new HQ gear for my weaver. But I do not have enough gil to even buy it.
Yes I know
Do you need flying to get to the hinterlands? I cant seem to find the entrance running around lol
Gotcha
The entrance is locked for plot reasons
You only NEED flight in one area in the game, and it'll be given to you entirely through msq
im on like level 54 of the story so its coming soon
General rule of thumb: pretty much EVERYTHING is locked behind main story
Well 2 dungeons and a trial
And the gear on my Botanist is horrible too.
yeah ive just been doing MSQ but im overleveled lol
Road to 70 does that
And doing roulettes daily
Over leveling is normal
And majority all of my crafters are behind in levels and gear. So much so. It can take me days to get the gear needed to get them all caught up to date.
And I need to save money. I mean $2000 worth to buy Tales of Adventure for each crafter. But I do not want to miss out on any content the game has to offer. Hence the mistake I made was buying it for my White Mage and missed out on the content for Stormblood.
And it's a mistake I cannot repeat.
Ah yes, that one line In dialogue
That you could have just rewatched
Nothing is missable outside of events
Oh good. I least I have not missed much.
can u use same set of items in glamour but with 2 different colour?
And one thing I want to avoid is hiring more than two retainers that are provided to me for free. I can hire more. But it costs money.
Yes, glamour plates and dye the item on the plate
You're not missing anything with more retainers
so the item will be only dyed on plate not in glamour dresser?
Yes
thanks
Any EU servers to avoid when starting on?
No
Shiva is unofficially German, moogle is unofficially French but everything is cross server within the data centre
There's no wrong choices
Ah nice, I read about some being RP focused and german/french focus. good to know.
where can i choose to pay sub mannuelly
Mogstation
i would suggest farming yellow scrips for the accessories at the very least
that and buying the 61 vendor set if you can afford it
And unlock zhloes custom deliveries for massive xp and scrips weekly which can help boost other jobs when they hit 55
so i'm about to dispute the copyright claim on my video that included Torn from the Heavens. do you all think what i've written here is good enough for them to remove the claim?
"Streaming the music in this game is allowed as long as it is accompanied by the gameplay where the music is played, as per the Final Fantasy XIV Materials Usage License, seen here: https://support.na.square-enix.com/rule.php?id=5382&la=1&tag=authc
In addition, Torn from the Heavens is not on the list of songs that are not allowed to be streamed, so this video should not be copyright claimed."
it sounds fine

That I did already. That's how I got the Master Weaver III book
Focus on gear over the books so you can actually make the stuff
ok i submitted the dispute, hope my YT channel doesn't get deleted now
Oh lord. The gear I want requires Blue Gatherer's Scrip Tokens.
you can buy it easily in ishgard itself
from the splendors npc
rather than doing the blue scrip exchange method in idyllshire
is the list you are talking about in the material usage lisence?
like which are not allowed to stream?
or are you talking about "not allowed to stream at all even when it is accompanied with ffxiv footage"?
yes, it says you can't stream "Answers", "Dragonsong", and "Revolutions"
materia isn't recommended to use while leveling
So don't worry
since you're going to be changing gear so often anyway
And materia is turned off when synced
those are for performance stuff aint it?
does your video come with ffxiv footage then?
I am in Ishgard. Which vendor am I looking for?
Sundry splendor
yes, i was in a solo instance when the music was played in the background
They're literally by the aetherytes, or very close
and it says "or original songs and/or melodies"
excluding the songs entitled βAnswersβ, βDragonsongβ and βRevolutionsβ or original songs and/or melodies using the performance actions in accordance with this Agreement.
assuming you've completed the main scenario quest "heavensward" tho
Guidelines for Music and Sounds
You may only use music as it is incorporated in FFXIV;
When showing gameplay, you may not replace the FFXIV music with third party music;
You may not play FFXIV music alone (i.e., without accompanying gameplay footage), or with third party materials;
You may not use the songs titled "Answers", "Dragonsong", or "Revolutions". You also may not use any arranged or rearranged version of "Answers", "Dragonsong", "Revolutions", "Contention", "Misconception", "Beyond Redemption", or "Nightbloom".
ah yeah i see it down there now
I am in the Pillars and I cannot even find the NPC.
im guessing it is allowed as long as you show gameplay as you said you did.
where are you in the msq
and it is not on the list of disallowed music
my reasoning exactly
is it a manual claim?
I already completed the Heavensward MSQ ages ago.
its a blue bag icon near the aetheryte
Still stuck on the SHB content
idk? the claim popped up as soon as the video was uploaded
sounds like it would be an automatic claim then
I just uploaded a log for emerald weapon EX to fflogs, how do I check parses now?
trough the link you get in the fflogs application, or check in fflogs.com site.
Hello to all, after watching several tutorials online and reading about FFXIV I'm finally getting on board and play this game. I come from a mmo that the main goal are collectables etc etc. My question (I guess you are probably tired of seeing this) should I just rush lv60 with 1 class and maine quest then come back to level other classes with sides quests or should I multi level classes along the way ? Currently level 28. As fair as I know the games steps up at lv 50 ish (playing free trial for the moment) Thank you for kind replies
Found it. And they require Yellow Gatherer's Scrips.
yes thats why i suggested doing it thru the sundry vendor
because its a straight yellow scrip buy, rather than buying blue tokens with yellow scrips to exchange for it
if you get into an exp boosted world you can level up multiple classes with the story
or you can just stick to 1
its up to you
idyllshire's exchange is a bit more round about to get the items
Are Yellow Gatherer's Scrips earned the same way as Yellow Crafter's Scrips?
Basically yes
by turning in collectables, yes
I'm in spriggan world
then its not preferred and doesnt have the exp boost
they're mailed to you
I guess i'll just go vanilla path and slowly level enjoying main quest
Do i have to claim anything tho or is it random
there are multiple points in the story where you can switch
Pick it up in the mail
no, you get a mail at the mail moogle when you hit a veteran reward milestone
Someone mentioned there is a new expansion soon. Is it soon enough that it isn't worth buying the current one and just waiting for it to be released? Endwalker is it?
You'll be waiting like 5 months
Minimum
So if you're fine with the trial for 5 months
I've got the starter, and am assuming the current expac will be merged in to that when enw one is released?
Yes
And if you preorder the new expansion, you'll only get the others when it launches
Thank you.
Hello.
Question regarding GC seals.
Whats the fastest way to farm them at lvl47?
Gear turn-ins
Any dungeon quality gear that you have and don't want, exchange it for seals at your GC
I got information from my fellow FC members about the Namazu Beast Tribes for level 60 crafting gear. Does anyone know where they are located?
Okay. Thank you!
You need to do some blue quests in Yanxia to unlock them
Which part of Yanxia?
I have not unlocked the beast tribe for it yet
Is anyone able to explain me what Horoscope (LVL 76 Astrologian) does, I don't understand it well.
So I give everyone a buff called "horoscope" and when I draw cards it will heal them?
No
its a time bomb for heals
you use horoscope
you use an aoe heal
you use horoscope again for a small heal
Use horoscope then either 1 or 2 things
Use it again for a 200 pot heal
Use Helios/a.helios then press it again for a 400 pot heal
Using helios upgrades the horoscope heal to 400 potency
It's useful to help top up after raidwides
Yes. it's the quest called Courage the Cowardly Lupin.
thank you all alot!
Do you have to get hit by an attack by a monster to learn it as blue mage or just see it?
ok
And it's a reference from the Cartoon Network show. "Courage The Cowardly Dog".
Koji and the writers love refernces
And the madman keeps getting away with it
Koji and his team are really good at the stealth references.
question, following the current main scenario quests, do i need to pay attention and read every little quest they give me to be able to follow the story? some of these are just like.. go kill these scorpions and bring me the eggs
i just dont wanna fall behind on the story line
You'll mostly be okay if you only pay close attention to actual cutscene quests of both the voiced and unvoiced varieties.
If it's just like, normal dialogue with emotes, it's less important to Actual Plot.
What's the best way to get low grade materia?
MB
blacklist doesn't keep me from running into a flamer in duty finder/roulettes, I just don't see anything they say anymore, right?
or ARR beast tribes at high ranks
oh, I see
How do you do whatever is the equivalent to dungeons is in this game
Is Frontline Roullette at low level (35) worth it? I know it's crazy later on.
For exp ^
You unlock them via story
at level 30 it bumped me to 32
so if i keep going msq it will guide me? Bet. Thanks
but its as good as a second leveling roulette
Oooo awesome ty. Yeah I randomly sent one on an alt a few days ago and got like 7 mill I was like wtfff
if you wanna unlock something, its msq 9/10 times
i think i unlocked glamour via side quest. But glamour system doesnt really make sense to me
!faq glamour
'What is Glamour and how do I unlock it?'
Glamour is the process of changing an equipment's look into a different item with the use of Glamour Prisms. You can unlock the ability to glamour by doing the level 15 quests 'If I Had a Glamour' in Vesper Bay, West Thanalan. Although not required, you can unlock the ability to dye gear with the nearby quest 'Color Your World'. You can get the Orange Juice needed by talking to the nearby Merchant & Mender. Items used for glamouring are not lost upon use.
'How do I glamour? Where do I get more Prisms?'
Glamouring is done by right-clicking (Square or X on controllers) on the equipment you want to glamour and choosing the option 'Cast Glamour'. After clicking this you choose the item you want the appearance on the right half of the menu that opened up. You can get more Glamour Prisms by either crafting them after completing the quest 'Absolutely Glamourous', buying them from your Grand Company Quartermaster, or buying them from the marketboard.
You just copy/paste an items look onto another
Some people think it akin to transmog
Umbra
Ye i get that its essentially transmog. But when I attempt to glamour I dont have any choices in appearance.
Its been a while since i did the edens raid and im not sure where the blue quest is for that
In Morq sorq after doing 5.3 story
Then the quest should be in Mord Souq
So I need to hold the gear i want the look of? Is that the purpose of storing it in the glamour station? So i dont have to hold it later?
Basically
yes
