I always have tanks first for easy access on healer
messing with the role sort means you have a bit more control over who's in the 2 spot
But 2 is tank
Also macroed shirk for that
Then change the order
that's why you change the order
Ohh
alternatively just change the number
I c now
hello, a new player question here
i am trying to create a char in tonberry, what wld a good timing be? middle of the night japan time? or middle of the night NA time?
middle of the night for JP since tonberry is a japanese server
ahhh ok ty ^^
It's recommended to go with servers near your physical location
There are also servers with high oceania populations and well be getting oceania servers in 6.0
more likely 6.1, but we'll see

This is how party is sorted macro is correct?
You'll probably want 2 or more of these for 4 man and 8 man parties
Honestly, its easier if you just sort it for dps as dps first with tank or healer as 2/3rd
I don't like DRG enough to make more than 1 macro
that way you're not trying to juggle which slot is going to be dps when it comes to 4/8 mans
thanks guys, is it worthwhile to go x2 xp on preferred servers since the free companies there are less established?
Then do what kael said and put dps first when you yourself are dps
Then you can guarantee at least 2 will he a dps
Because that changes your target temporarily
cos there's a chance you will get a tank or a healer, also changes the target temporarily
Fml
"Then do what kael said and put dps first when you yourself are dps"
I don't understand this
Ohh
See this: you have it set up for as tank healer dps no matter your role
click on the drop down menu and choose either of the last two options
do the devs have any plans do update the glamour system ,i like to collect everything and have a checkmark or something and having to collect them all and keep them seems kinda weird
So if I go in as a DPS do I run the DPS party list sorting
That will never be a thing, at least not for armor
Waaaaaaay too much armor
Closest thing is relic weapons
And should I use <2>
yes, when you're on any dps job, your party list will be sorted to how you choose for dps
Ohh
So like how i have it set up currently. when i'm on dps, dps will be sorted to the top of the list, with healers after them and tanks at the bottom
Whenever i'm on a healer, it'll be healers first then tanks and then the dps
I c I c
Question: if I buy FFXIV ARR base game only, and then I buy Shadowbringers expansion only, will i get all th eexpansions too (heavensward, stormblood)?
yes
heavensward is part of starter edition, and stormblood is part of shadowbringers
how much is just the exp bonus when i fufill a role that is needed , like tank ?
Arr comes with hw now but otherwise yeah
Why is your healer first on that other section
other is basically dol/doh
In case of shit hitting fan need to save the healer first
Extremely negligible
which is largely irrelevant
damn 😦
Okay for dps I have
Dps tank healer so I out <2> since the party member after me will be a dps
Put*
yes
I c
So if i buy ARR key and then SHadowbringers key separately, will i have 100% of the content?
Aside from dps first for better dragonsight macros everything else is up to you in terms of how you want to structure it
Until november
right
where can i find my EW preorder bonuses?
When the new expansion releases
I wanna use 1 dragon sight macro for everything
Where did you buy?
assuming you've applied the pre-order code to your mogstation account, you should be mailed the bonuses in-game
steam and then redeemed my code
In the mail give it a bit
can hit the request delivery button to try and speed it up
otherwise just be a bit patient
ah okay, do account wides just take longer?
they often do, yeah
yeah ill just wait, was getting a bit worried i had done something wrong as all the other items i ordered arrived
It's never instant and lots of preorders happening rn
thank you!
Does menphinas erring last forever?
The xp boost lasts until 80
Cool, imm getting to 80 faster now! I got tones of jobs to lvl
so the tutorial for jobs says that they give limited access to actions from other classes. Is that just a janky translation or what?
more like old stuff that just never got removed
There used to be cross class but not anymore
cross class actions use to be a thing for combat jobs, in that you could use skills from other classes
but hasn't been a thing since stormblood
if i buy an ff14 edition that only has ARR&heavensward and then buy the November latest expansion, will it backfill all the expansions?
yeah, if you buy endwalker in nov you'll get stormblood and shadowbringers as well
Yes, they always bundle old expansions into the new one
k tsx.
why my download suddenly stopped at 0mb/s
So I noticed theres no upgrade option for collectors editions on steam, is that only possible if you bought it on squares site?
you can do the digital collector's upgrade on the mogstation regardless of whether you bought thru steam or square's site
are people currently doing HW alliance raids ?
Yes, they are in the alliance roulette
And needed for relics, and give tomes for event
fastest way to get vex and dying memories is alliance raids ?
How long before preordering on steam before you get the code for the preorder stuff?
after*
where do i unlock the HW alliance raid
Okay so the 2nd party member was a SAM and dancer made him partner
So Dragon Sight macro didn't execute
Soo just stick to manual targeting?
@twilit arch

Last question pls: if i buy an edition that only has ARR/HW/Stormblood, will i be capped at level 70? or will it let me go to level 80 and just not access Shadowbringer content?
Capped
i see. will that be a problem?
you copied the macro exactly as posted, yes?
also dnc making him partner doesn't really...mean anything?
Idk macro did execute before dancer made him partner
After he was partner it didn't execute
being made partner isn't going to affect whether you can use dragon sight on the target or not
I manually used sight on him
were you in range? you have to be nearby the target
You probably didn't time it right cause macros are ass
its more than likely the dude wasn't in range
you wouldn't be able to do current endgame content but there's still plenty to do
have to keep in mind dragon sight is a 12y
considering stormblood keys don't exist properly in any official capacity, use those at your own risk
Idk how much is 12y
Cos entire time it didn't execute
Dood has to be near me cos were melees
This is a weird question but here it is. When you enter a city, say Gridania, does everyone here the same music track on loop or each person has the song start and finish at different times?
each is individual
I would assume imdividual
How long on average does it take after redeeming preorder bonus do you get the item?
i got it within 2 minutes
if you're already logged in make sure to use the "request delivery items" button at hte moogle mail to try and fast forward the delivery
thats what the channel is for, shoot
What do you mean by that
Ok ill give that a try
scaeven and illuminati gear upgrade materials (and whatever the level 50 version is) are completely, utterly useless now, aside from upgrading leftover unupgraded gear, right? i cannot get my poetics back, and they don't really have any other value?
Nope
That's correct

What do you mean by upgrade
what do you mean by upgrade
sigh. i hate throwing things away but i really want to consolidate back down to 2 retainers and that's the last thing holding me back lol
if you mean to get better gear, you play the
more
if you mean to upgrade from class > job, 
Well first of all, what level are you
Just equip higher item level gear
!faq newplayertips
damb i just now realized heavy swing is not my auto but an actual skill
yes you automatically do auto attacks if you're in range
your level should be in your UI
...the bar at the bottom
its a yellow bar
is it worth it to get more helpers for 1,40€ per slot?
yeah i confused heavy swing with my auto
worth is subjective, most people can get by with just 2 retainers
depends on if you need more storage or not
Not really, unless you really need the storage
but for most, 2 will be enough
but if you have a lot of stuff and you craft freuqently its a good consideration
Keep playing the MSQ, you won't get any significant gear or class upgrades until 15, minimum
It gets better as you progress
...because you're level 4
are the old coins like mhachi and rabanastren also useless?
yes
if you're at the main quest that requires you to equip level5 gear in every left side slot, you need to have some gil to buy some stuff or do sidequests to get gear
if you're talking about how you don't like the way gear looks
!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.
if we say im really active every day, and send my helpers out for shards for example , would 1-4 more helpers matter? it seems the fire shard market is really good (or people just reselling, dont know im too new xD) but i need some pocket money and i thought maybe more helpers would be worth it

i make plenty of gil with just 2
Eh, it depends. Retainers gather rate is slower than doing it manually fwiw
How beneficial are the menphina earrings to level up alt jobs?
it takes gil/time to gear them all out, the more you buy the mor you need to invest in them
Extremely
extra 30% to all mob kills
Yes?
does any1 know when u get the pre-order code for endwalker?
your email? the billing address?
it sounded like you would get the earring directly after purchase
I'd think the code would go to your billing address, your email
if i buy additional retainers/helpers , does every character on your account get 1 extra?
every character gets an additional retainer, yes
i havent gotten anything yet not even order confirmation via the mail lol. maybe the servers are backed up
you should receive an e-mail (if bought from SE's store) that directs you to a page with the pre-order code to input into mogstation
if you bought from steam its in the cd keys section
psn should be automatic
ye i bought it just now on se store
give it a little bit then, should get an e-mail shortly
the shard gain per hour from retainers isn't worth it, you're better off gathering other materials
what is your question
you just complained that its confusing
will there be an indepth showcase of reaper skills before release ? and new skills for existing classes ?
yes an in depth job guide showcase happens usually a month or so before release
The skills showcase usually happens during the media tour
We already answered your question
continue playing the main story is the answer
ah ok cool , thanks
Then what one?
just repeat the question then
eeh it havent charged me? should i press debit now to get my code? x) https://i.imgur.com/TmbfFT5.png
SE store doesn't charge until release, or if you request to debit now
ask the question again please
Either repost the question or stop talking
do i still get the code if i dont debit it?
ye
I pre-order thru store and havent debitted, got my code and all that jazz about 10minutes after order went thru
ooh i see, thanks guess ill wait a bit more
please repost your question
because we didn't see it
you haven't reposted anything and only chosen to complain about it
@solid holly has been banned by Meara#0312 for the following reason:
Obvious troll
XD
Is there a way to get amtasu gear if i didnt participate in event?
:V
hey does anyone know when the digital collectors edition extra stuff is delivered? i already got the earing and stuff but nothing specific to the collectors edition
November 23rd
ahhh i wasnt sure ty ty
So will the 450 weekly cap be increased around 5.58?
Oof
what why are the stats so high on this ? https://i.imgur.com/igxi3TV.png
are we on the third nier raid?
yep
@lyric warren because the item level is higher
it syncs down to whatever level you're at except lvl80
so this is the highest level ilvl gear set right/besides tomb
the yellow indicates its synching down to your lvl
keep in mind the menphina's scale
530 is the highest, 535 for weapon
Alright thanks
the stats adjust appropriately to your level
im just 60 on this job and its doulbe the ilvl then my lvl 60 earring?
its 270
says 470?
ok they just dont have a way of showing that
so at lvl 70 itll give you i400 stats
yeah, thats the annoying part
wish they did that

hey, do buffs enhance LB damages ?
How's the relic weapon this cycle compared to Eureka/HW farming
ok thx
I like it, first time I enjoy farming the relic, even the 15 DR runs that are pretty long can give you a 9M haircut so thats good
DR?
and you can level 70 -> 80 your jobs in bozja
Bojza?
Delubrum Reginae, a 24raid you have to complete 15 times (about 40minutes) to get the last step weapon
delubrum reginae
its the farming area/instance like eureka
basically shit that's connected to the relic and you'll have to do in some form or fashion
Real quick, what would be the fastest way of farming Tomestones of Pageantry? Alliance stuff?
on my 15 DR runs got 2 haircut, made 18M gils, first time im that riche on the game lol
pvp
...damnit
rival wings
rival wings, Hades EX, blue mage nidhogg EX
Alright cheers, gonna grind em
it has to be synced to get the tomestones ?
Wait are there people doing rival wings now?
correct
nows the time to try it out
Nice
rival wings always becomes active during moogle events
yes, level syncd, NOT min ilvl sync
how much gil u can make on 80lv miner? i need around 2mil for weapon
i mean how long it will take
yeah that's far too complicated of a question for a straight answer
I'll read the answer, im really bad at making money with gathering/crafting lol
^ same. i got em all at 80 and i ended up making most of my money trading house garden flowers for metal.
gathering is typically not actually very good for making gil, IMO
i get a lot of gil by selling maps, turning in coffee biscuits, and doman restoration
MAPS. selling maps are good steady income.
If you are a gatherer looking to make gil, partner up with a submersible builder
for me I open my gathering book, check all the lvl 80 items I can gather then check each item in the marketboard for the price, also check sell history to check if it sells good/fast
then I go farm the item
and sell it
alternatively just do a bit of doh leveling and makr a shitton of dye
especially now, when the market is absolutely flooded by bots for the exarchic materials
but I dont think you make millions fast with that
grabbing a map daily is basically a free 60~k gil though
what is doh?
doh = crafter dol = gatherer
disciple of hand
ohh okay
yeah and on weekends maps on my server sell for up to 90k
thats a M for 2 weeks, not that much
Disciple of hand, disciple of land
so you can save one yourself and 1 on each retainer and maybe 1 on chocobo and sell them all on weekend
yeah, it's a supplement -- it's not going to get you rich
the only get rich quick scheme i've found is to get a lucky drop somewhere.
Coffee biscuits leve is a good source of gil
honestly I spent much money on leveling that gathering/crafting lol I really dont know what rich people look for and what they do to get their money
Look on the MB for things you can exploit
the actual get rich quick scheme is to spam out maps on a patch release
crafters make a lot of gil and consistently
ultimately, whether you're doing doh or dol for money. you need to look at your markeboard
find a niche
yeah timing and patches is good money. i made a lot off skybuilders mats when ishgard intially landed. made several million in a day.
playing the marketboard is a good way to make gil of course
I tried, looked for some lvl 60/70 items, weapons, armors etc. crafted few things and it doesnt sell
low level crafts can often be sold at 10000% markups, though you're not going to sell a million of them
level cap items suck, everyone uses poetics stuff for it
i see
yeah aim for 66ish
All the real money is at endgame
^
56ish, 66ish
eh.. exarchic is incredibly saturated
since im not a huge crafter, I find last crafts impossible
that's when poetic gear starts feeling weak
I dont even have enough stats to do the craft lol
I'm not talking about exarchic
you can make decent money by targetting levelling gear gaps -- I've sold four guns for 200k gil in the past two days
crafting cost to me was about 5 minutes and ~4000gil
oh and yeah you can also sell stuff between like 10 and 45
for doh/dol or even neither of those you need to find a niche in the market
I made like 3mil over 3 days just doing bozja
and selling the Aug items
how do you that ? You just check every items ?
I mean there's so much different items I dont know what to look at
if you run a lot of dungeons or do a lot of retainer ventures, turning gear into your GC and buying glamour prisms work. they sell reliably for 200-300 gil each. stacks of 99.
new items, fashion items, hard to obtain items will all sell high
learn the patch cycles
see what new things they add
like the frontier set
for selling levelling gear, I just look at what doesn't have anything available
it's not a get rich quick scheme, but it's steady money
I tried that, crafted few items, it works, but prices not that high, and sells very slowly
coffee biscuits are probably the easiest gil, if not a bit tedious
I cant get on because I had some trouble with the launcher not accepting my password. So I'm just waiting for support to email me back. Which is weird because I can still log on to mogstation and the character app, should I try and reset my password or a 4th time?
you could craft furniture, mounts, raid food, pots, etc.
just find a niche and sell it
i mean again i feel like the basic answer here is you're not gonna make a bunch of money really quickly on anything. expensive things tend to sell slowly. you can make steady income on a lot of things. you're other option is to get a lucky drop.
if you've got something to start with, cross - world brokering made me millions of gil when I was levelling
yeah Im not about getting rich quickly, but just to know some tips to get some gils quick when need it
@atomic jewel resetting your password a million times isn't going to change anything, what launcher are you using
lots of people seemingly don't realize you can go to other worlds' markets
Im a really casual player and I really rarely use my gils, I dont have a house etc.
the steam one
@leaden ginkgo you're better off making a steady income slowly, then having that gil when you need it.
did you buy the game? what platform did you buy the game on? what error do you get when you try to log in?
you can easily make 100k a day with a level 80 dol
assuming you have cul
barely trying
I see, so no way to get big money easy with low level or low time investment
rich people are pro crafters that sells last glam and sh*t
@leaden ginkgo basically
I made most of my gil before I even levelled my crafters xd
ill stick to my gathering and try to get my weaver lvl max
you need the best crafting gear to craft endgame stuff
if you do a lot of market analysis, you might find a way to make money quickly. it's really hard. i've tried. it burned me out big time. this game doesn't have mods like some other mmos where it will tell you what's selling like hotcakes that's also cheap to make.
I just got a subscription, I got it on steam, it said that my password was invalid, that's all it said and restarted my launcher
the only stuff you need the best crafting gear to craft is exarchic.. and selling exarchic now is a fucking nightmare
It's recommended to level all your crafters at once since they all share gear
are you trying to use your email on the launcher? @atomic jewel
thats what Im doing, im lvl 50 everywhere, got my blacksmith and armorer lvl 80 for a long time cause found them cool lol
how long ago did you reset your password
but found out armorer and blacksmith arent money maker
yesterday, about 9 hours ago
weaver is the true stonks
blacksmith can make a bit of money
and you're positive you're typing it in correctly
especially recently they've been adding primal glow weapons like every patch
Hello, do we have any info on when the new job actions for 6.0 are gonna be revealed?
very positive
@fast cargo no
Alright thanks
@atomic jewel can you screenshot the first page of your mogstation
fwiw @leaden ginkgo the quickest money I've made in this game was 1) selling a raid orch roll for 1mil on day of that raid's release 2) selling an umbrella for ~1mil the day those were released 3) selling ishgard restoration DoL mats for ~2-3mil the day that was released.... there's a pattern here.
That comes a few months before the expansion when jobs actions are actually done
but the thing about making money with crafting is the easy money is made the week after a patch, after that every method slowly gets crowded and undercut down
@remote lintel
but i'm sitting on 44 million gil and i made almost none of it crafting... a fair bit of it was selling maps using DoL, though.
Other than 50/60/70 poetics weapons and chest + pants what else can I buy with silver chocobo feathers
and just checking to see if i could sell literally anything in my inventory, all the time, every day. 😄
So I was just browsing and one of the things I need to become a mentor is complete the final healer quest I have 2 healers at 80 but can't find any of there quests
i sent them a message yesterday, thank you for the help though
!faq rolequests
What are Role Quests?
Role Quests serve as a replacement for Job-specific quests for Shadowbringers and are split into four categories (Tank, Healer, Physical DPS, and Magical DPS). These are unlocked with the quest 'Warrior of Darkness' at 71 and all start in the Crystarium around x10-11, y15-16.
At least one of these Role Quest series must be entirely completed in order to complete the Shadowbringers story. Completion of these quests, along with having the appropriate Job at 80, is also required to claim job-specific level 80 i430 gear from Grenoldt in The Tempest.
I can't find where I left off!
No need to worry! Here are links that lead to each of the Role Quest series.
Tank Role Quests
Healer Role Quests
Physical DPS Role Quests
Magical DPS Role Quests
Hey guys I’m just now trying to get into playing this and wanted to ask for some help
I made millions of gil while levelling just brokering expensive items from other worlds to mine. but now I've got too much gil to be bothered
I mainly like doing dps but having heavy defense what should I do
every class does dps
tank can do heavy defense
Okay I want the best dps
There's no best dps
the closest thing to a heavy armor DPS is lancer/dragoon
but roles are extremely set in stone so the reality is it doesn't matter
All jobs have their ups and downs
the highest personal DPS is generally samurai.
Technically the highest dps jobs in end-game content are SAM and BLM
(as far as melee goes, because it doesn't sound like you want a caster)
Samurai and black mage
Samurai, black mage
samurai = wears essentially leather armor, is samurai. lancer/dragoon = uses mail armor. black mage = cloth armor.
Black Mage is the job upgrade to the starting class Thaumaturge
This game isn’t pay to win is it?
No
Nope
No
Ok
The most pay to win thing is just pay to skip levelling up a class
If I’m playing on ps5 is there anything I have to be weary of
no
And most of us don’t suggest doing that

Be prepared to spend a lot of hours playing
Which version of the game do I buy
PS4 Version, since there is no "PS5 version" to buy
You should play the free trial first
just play the trial first?
PS5 Edition*
Oh
Wait there isn't a PS5 one? 
Oh the digital one
Yeah the digital one is just the same
Yes if you're on PS5 get PS5 edition
If you're unsure on whether you want to buy the game start with the free trial
But do trial first
The complete edition is best ya?
If you want it yeah
the complete includes everything
I won’t have any issues with locked quests
It gives you everything
you should really play the free trial firts
If you're buying it yes
first**
The trial is half the game for free to try it
I have before
Like a year ago
"locked quests" are basically either job quests or msq
I don’t remember much
Play it again
I mean, you can progress for free
once you buy the game you gotta start paying monthly
because it's a subscription
Are we getting the 4 seater mount back soon ?
In game purchases what can I buy
Car one
in september
Regalia yes
As well as will any of you be willing to play with me?
Cool
any way I can get level 20 levequests?
what did the regalia cost?
200k mgp
ty
the max level quests I have rn are level 15 levequests
which levemete are you at? different zones have different level leves
where are you in MSQ? you should have lv20 leves near where you did lv 20 msq
I see on mog station we can buy a sub, game time card and buy sub with paysafecard. Where can i get a game time card?
amazon and other similar online stores probably
Retailers, such as Amazon, Gamestop, etc
hmmm
the levequests in question are from western La Noscea
is it only 60 days tho?
Playstyle difference
Dragoon has raid buffs but lower personal dps, Samurai has no raid buffs but highest personal dps
Everything is balanced
also you need to be lvl 50 to unlock samurai so you can only start as lancer
you could do lancer/dragoon > samurai
Hmm
you also need to buy the dlc to be able to use samurai
I bought the complete pack
do you think its better to level 71-80 dps in bozja or dungeons ?
Bojza if ques are long
if your queue times are long do bozja
ok thx
whats the best thing i can do if i wanna switch from a windows account to steam but have no money to spend (free trial)
make a new account from the steam trial launcher
and you really dont wanna give up your character name because its perfect
like id be losing alot of progress is what i mean
and id have to do hours of content ive already done before
Does the steam version actually work better on linux?
im testing it rn on a test account
Works the same
Btw, I think you can still connect to steam through normal free trial
Well there's still no way to transfer steam to Windows or vice versa, maybe ask squenix support but nothing we can do here
Well, he ain't got the windows version yet if he is in free trial
can you be gifted a subscription on a windows account?
With game time cards
cant you gift games on steam
Yeah but sub time is different to a game
Sub time is specifically for mogstation
Though you have only the option to pay through steam
Nothing else
Can I change the color of this text at all?
does the new CG cinematic have a lot of story spoilers? I'm still in heavensward..
yes
but you can watch the other videos that show off the new places and stuff
those dont have spoilers
I watch the main cinematics for FFXIV a lot, especially the one with the little Gremlin
so good
what was the dude called in stormblood that had a white coat and his name started with an A I think
and was absolutely insane
started playing the trial last Friday and got hooked
any chance there will be a sale soon?
Magic 8ball says Maybe someday
oh found him, asahi

uhhhhhhhhhhh guys? ffxiv performs better in steam than non-steam on linux for me
...and my main account is non-steam

There’s a queue
Made 50 but still need to finish the the MSQ
what do you mean performs better ?
maybe differents settings or DirectX version
already tried directx
on the launcher right ?
and rn medium-ish settings has higher fps than lowest on non-steam
yeah
thats weird, whatever version you got it should be exactly the same game
something something linux proton
have you checked all your settings ? like ambiant occlusion (thats just a box to check and takes a lot of fps), and the characters settings ? Like characters animations
yup i had set everything down to lowest
and in mildly crowded areas it was like 40fps
so imagine raids
do you get same fps in empty areas ?
40 fps is fine
or whatever the place, steam will be always lower ?
about 60 in empty area
on steam tho, it seems to be 100+
same performance as when i play on windows
You're way overperformin
i have a 144hz monitor and 60fps looks clunky ok
i like my fps
30 fps and lower becomes unplayable for me
I see, since the games are the same, maybe you missed something in the settings on one version, even in character tab, like animations, I dont have english terms sorry lol, but theres graphic settings and another tab where you can check/uncheck animations for characters
but anyway, since character animations is for characters, in empty areas you should get the same fps...
i think its just linux being linux
steam made proton for steam
so its a gamble to get it working outside steam
I see, I dont use linux personally so can't tell you
but so far ive seen other people use proton outside of steam perfectly fine
but thats weird you got more fps on one
e x a c t l y
btw do you have Windows installed?
yeah, dualbooted
I see
I mean the steam version isnt a steam version, its just locked to steam shop for expacs thats all
Just don't want to dual boot everytime to play the game right?
yeah
Wait, can you use Steam's Linux support by adding the game as a non-steam game?
i wanna try to get back into ffxiv and play it more
idk, had that idea
I know I use Steam's Controller support a lot for non-steam games
hold on
Steam's VR support for non steam games are also avaliable
I haven't played in god knows how long...

How do you get the trial? (I was gonna get it on steam but that doesn't seem to allow the free trial.
!faq freetrial
steam does have the trial
steam lists it as a demo
you have to type out the full name in the search bar
oh, cool
well i finally tested out ffxiv on my windows boot
the performance is...
worse
:kekw:
might be a dumb question, but how hard is savage content? in particular e9+s? is it a lot easier now than it was due to high ilvl marketboard items like exarchic gear or would it still be super tough regardless, if so how much harder is it than normal content? having played wow, would it be a similar comparison like normal and mythic or more like normal and heroic?
It's THE high end raid content
Savage is somewhere between Heroic and Mythic in terms of difficulty.
Harder than extremes
so like, near impossible to do without an organised groups or?
People need to know what theyre doing
People use macros to designate positions for mechanics
I see, and so what is the differerence between savage and ultimate?
Savage is 1 fight vs 1 voss
Ultimates is 5 bosses in a row, much longer, no checkpoint, no break, basically mechanic vomit
Ultimate you really can't do with a full pug group, or with people not knowing what they're doing or in bad gear.
Ultimates will wipe you if you look at a Mechanic funny
I'm trying to log into the forums but i get this message
anyone know how to fix it?
whats the point in doing TEA ultimate other than the fun/challenge of a hard boss? from what i understand Exs gives you ilvl 530 gear but does TEA ultimate give something similar?
Bragging rights
A title and shiny weapons
Extremely shiny weapons and title
The weapon was slightly better than the savage weapon of the same tier on release
Due to the extra slot
But it's basically just bragging rights, something for high end raiders to do and all
materia slot?
Yeah, ultimate weapons have the same stats as their Savage counterpart but has 3 materia slots over 2
ah so would you say overmelded non augmented gear is better for dps? or would it depend on the class
Does anyone have the ps5 version? I have to reset my ui and i dont think i will bother if it will disappear once the beta is over
for one, overmelding this late is a waste of gil and two, generally the substats won't outweight the more main stats you get from augmented
Nothing should be deleted when the beta is over. The beta isn't really a beta, it's just saying "beware of bugs cause not fully ready"
what do you guys mean by this late? meaning this raid tier?
yes this raid tier
Guess its time to start playing foreeals on the ps5
You.can upload your settings to the cloud via character selection
Oh what!!!
its been 6mos into the eden's promise raid tier
So if they're ever reset you just download them
I see, so is this the last raid tier before 6.0?
Yes
Ye
sadge
And it's been around since December
damn so its going to be a whole year for you guys
You overmeld gear for the first week of a raid tier
give or take
How to pre-order EW? I can't do it on on MOG station..
Do it from the se store
you preorder from the SE store
Ah thanks
Hi, i bough last year shadowbringer and played till lvl 58. I don't think i have anymore the "free trial". I would like to restart my character, is there something like wow : free game till x lvl for returning player ?
You can't return to free trial after you buy and register the game
You'd have to use a new account if you wanted to play for free again
It's free to try, not free to play until X
Arf :/ I was disappointed by wow classic (so hard do make group for 1st HL dungeons...) but wanted to test again FF14 to be sure before swapping
Did they cut out the step of doing the Memory farming the HW and SB Alli Raids from Relic weapon?
For repeat weapons
@pseudo pulsar there's no trouble doing early content, queues are fairly reasonable
You still have to do it for the first weapon
oh so only had to do it on the first?
Yes
Oh. Well I feel dumb. I had been avoiding doing more than one weapon because I hated the grind for that step
queues took forever and drops from Fates were miserably low
@barren tundra I was speaking about Wow Classic ^^ It's the end of expansion i know but it takes more than 1 hour to find a group sometimes
Just wondering, does anyone have an effective method for RAF? Im 5 gold feathers shy of my prize and I need one more person ;-;
Ive been on Exo DC for sometime, Ill check r/
I've a rather new player, I've heard the ranged DPS except Dancer are quite bad? Is that true?
nope
No
!faq meta
so the ranged classes require more skill than other classes to be more effective is what I'm deciphering?
how to get/find Pagos Gaskins
Pagos lockboxes
I'm not a meta slave, or a WoW player, I don't care what's good or not, I just want to hear what people who regularly play this game say.
I currently play Red Mage and I just wanted to see the opinions of others. : )
Ranged dps are high apm in general
ranged are prolly one of the easiest imo
they dont require more skill
couldn't find it
You get them from pagos
physical ranged classes are generally easier to play because they can have 100% uptime
Lockboxes aren't buyable
since you dont have melee or cast bars to deal with
is it hard to get the pants ?
No
Whe whole pagos outfit is dirt cheap
Just do fates in Pagos
why not just buy from marketboard

world hop? surely there's one on your DC
Check other servers
i'd be shocked if there isn't
even on another world?
Someone is somewhere
can i switch to another world ?
there's a limitions ?
!faq worldvisit
The World Visit System allows players to visit other worlds on the same data center. After hopping to another world, you are then able to do almost everything you are normally able to such as partying up to take on duties. Click the link below to find out how it works, and what restrictions there are.
buying things is not a restriction
what should i switch to
There's no limits
With BLM, i'm only level 51, but do i want to use fire 3 procs immediately?
Okay so if i do Fire I (Proc) but instantly start casting fire I
Should i cancel it to use the proc?
Ok so just keep casting and potentially waste a proc?
Yes...it's almost never right to stop a cast if there's no reason to

When can I get a mount

!faq mounts
'When can I get my first mount?'
The quest that allows you to use mounts, 'My Little Chocobo' is unlocked by completing the level 20 main story quest 'The Company You Keep'. The quest is located at the Grand Company base you chose and you'll need to buy the Chocobo Issuance from your Grand Company Quartermaster. You can get the 200 needed Grand Company seals by doing the main story quest that comes after 'The Company You Keep'.
'Are there any differences between mounts?'
Besides looks, all mounts are the same speed along with being able to fly. Some mounts allow multiple people to ride at once.
'Can I make my mount faster?'
Zones have one or two ranks of mount speed that increase the ground speed of mounts. The first rank comes from completing specific quests in the main scenario quests, with the second rank coming from Riding Maps which are bought with either Allied Seals, Centurio Seals, or Bicolor Gemstones. Mount Speed Boosts do not increase the flying speed of mounts.
reeeee
glamour is unlocked from a lvl 15 side quest
!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.

hey so the ffxv event is happening again this year right? do you guys know what im gonna need for the regalia mount
if it's mgp i have never touched the gold saucer
September. 200k mgp
Ty
Note you can't use mounts even if you buy it off the store
If you did stuff in the saucer
because i've done quite a bit of challenge logs already
oh ok nvm
i have spent like no time in the saucer
is it just gambling and minigames
Are the new exp earrings bugged?
Im getting 233% on mobs in dungeon, gf getting 203% with new earrings. I have Aetheryte ones.
What other bonuses?
We both have heat of battle and food and full armory bonus
It's 30% difference which is exactly what earrings give
Are you on an under 30 job using the brand new ring?
Because that also gives a 30% bonus.
is there some guide for diadem? I wanted to level up minner but i only saw nodes where there was 1 ore on lv 10 and 6 on lv 80
Does brand new ring apply to what your lvl is in the dungeon or your actual level?
nothing between
Actual level
Im lvl 45 in a lvl 19 dungeon so then it shouldnt be applying?
Spam your node finder skill, gather stuff, zooka mobs and repeat
Ill take it off and see
Correctly
So if thats the case then doesnt explain the 30% difference still
u mean lay of land 1 or 2?
1 for the nearest
well i was using it but there were only nodes with ores on lv 10 and 80
mb i should go deeper into the map
Once you hit higher levels you'll see more items in the node

I have a weird question about Endwalker preorders (for anyone who's already done so) - do you get the bonus items (the minion and earring) if you just pre-order Endwalker or do you have to buy one of the deluxe editions to get them?
Why is that
do you have to select a reward
Just preorder
Preorder and collectors are separate things
Preorder items should appear in your mail box right away. CE items won't be coming for quite some time.
Perfect, just wanted to make sure. Thanks! ^^
Thanks! Yeah, I'm not interested in CE but I like the earring so I wanted to make sure I didn't have to get the collectors edition/digital deluxe for it
Do minions fall under cosmetics?
yes
any idea why the levemete guy in central shroud wont give me any botanist quests ? do i need to be lv 10 ?
Why do I sometime see action commands being spammed in user macros like salted earth <t> for example? Why not put in the command once?
to make sure the action goes through because macros dont queue
Oh, gotcha. Ty
What is the endgame of FF14 ? Does it takes a little time and "skill" like wow or is it more like Gw2 (you clean quickly and hunt skins"
Getting to endgame takes a ton of time. Actual endgame you can play pretty casually and be fine. Savage/Extreme raiding is an option but isn't crazy hard if you're coming from other MMOs.
the endgame is whatever you want it to be
doing raids, crafting, glamour, housing
making unnecessary amounts of money
Also a slightly dumb question about the demo.. where do I find my registration code when I don't have a thing
are you positive you have the trial launcher
I believe so, it says demo on steam
try closing and relaunching it until it lets you through
Have you played before Cataru?
Hm, I'd suggest making an account on the ffxiv website and downloading the trial through that
@lilac bloom I didn't do that much endgame in other MMO, i wanted to try Wow TBC, but it seems it will take too much time (1h to search a group for a 30 min dungeon) but i hesitate to play FF14. It seems fun, but when there is no "true" endgame like Gw2, it feels weird to me. I don't like doing content only for a skin
I just wanted to do it thru steam because I plan to change out my PC sometime later (not REALLY soon but eventually)

Is there anyway to remove the hat and only keep the visor

nevermind I got it to work now
guess it just decided to stop having a fit

Is it really worth it to go on a "designed" server ? It's good for "alts" but you will outlevel MSQ fast no ? And you won't be able to play on a server of your language
Any Mods up and about for a Disord question?
Yeah if you didn't get an one time password set up you just don't put anything in there, it's only there for if you have it
Fair... I just keep getting bounced by my everything else... OH.
I see why it's wrong.
I put my username as AquamaineRose instead of AquamarineRose.
I think I know what you mean and I've had similar issues. I think it's just with sticks being jank. That's my assumption anyway
That's an F right there
uh
!preferred Light
Well the preferred servers are these two which are just general servers. If you wanted to be on a server due to language I assume that you were thinking about Shiva which is unofficial German right?
I'm trying to do my Aether Currents in The Churning Mist... and it says I need to pick up a quest for one of them but when I go to the person it doesn't let me do it, i thands me a different quest
have you finished the MSQ in Churning Mists in case it's a MSQ locked sidequest?
No Moogle, or i'm just thinking about how it works. The servers that are "designed" will have less life no ? How to explain this : big servers like Moogle for Chaos for example, will have more players. They'll play more often than players on "designed" servers
That's to unlock other classes
You can go and pick up other classes from their respective guilds once you hit level 10 and done your level 10 class quest on your starting class
Where to go to unlock a class depends on the class
Hello, I've been on the Free Trial account and wanted to upgrade to the regular subbed account, but I was reading that if there is a friendship code, that needs to be redeemed first before entering the game code? Nothing really makes any sense to me...if someone could walk me through this, that would be great.
@pseudo pulsar all worlds are populated
there arent any dead worlds
@modest canopy the RAF code needs to be entered AFTER you buy the game but BEFORE you sub for the first time
And i don't care of guilds ect, you can raid with all players in "Chaos" ? My english isn't bad, but in case it's a little complex
Yes
Yeah, I'm all the way in Shadowbringers
Okay okay so with this context I'll go through your points bit by bit
Outleveling MSQ isn't inherently bad so that's not that bad. All content is done across the data center so even if you aren't on Moogle for example you could still do content with people from Moogle and if you went to Moogle you'd still play with people not from Moogle. The only difference would just be the amount of French people you'd personally see in your world and so you might find it harder to find other French people on a non-Moogle server. As for the whole "less life thing" honestly preferred servers would be more active because there would be more new players there doing stuff since that is where you get funnelled into by default. It wouldn't be a bad pop in terms of total population either frankly and again server pop doesn't really matter anyway for reasons above regarding doing content data center wide
you can play with anyone in the chaos data center
@remote lintel ok, ty, is there anything else I should know?
have you accepted that other quest in case he gives more than one?
