okay then what quest is this?
@modest canopy thats it, just enter a RAF code during the free 30 days after buying the starter edition
I'm doing Something in the Water when I'm meant to be doing "The bathing bully"
you sure you haven't just completed it already?
Ok then it's better to go on Omega. I hesitate between this and Wow TBC. FF14 seems more casual friendly, with a funnier gameplay. I just hope endgame is not too repetitive, or just collecting cosmetics (i often chose one beautiful armor and that's it xD)
I haven't because I have 1 quest that I need to do in the Churning mist for my aether currents, and ive done all MSQ's
but you've absolutely checked your completed quests list and this is the only one you haven't done?
I can't read
Still though you checked that?
Actually, it says I've done it
Then it's another quest you're missing lol
But I have the quest thing for my aether current... 
Find which one isn't in your completed list
what's Piety?
Into the Aery is MSQ though so don't count that
But if its a MSQ wouldn't I have done it if I'm Shadow Bringer
Oh right, that might be it then
Affects MP regen
Controller-PC integration isn't as good as it could be, especially if you're using a PS controller with Windows or something similar. Controller on PC has some issues that crop up that PS4 never has.
I see
Mp regen for healers
So yeah it's one of these three
For ARR relic, atma fates aren't guranteed drops?
To help out, look for NPCs with the blue + quest sign, aethercurrents will be in that group. When you see the quest, the green aethercurrent will show in rewards.
Is it normal to get the error code" invalid code" when putting in your activation code in mogstation?
I've found it, haha
No
Thank you guys for the help, now I just have to find the last aether current in the world
Is "Omega" the designed server in Chaos the unofficial RP server ? I saw that on the net
I don't think thar ever really got off the ground
One thing that might help--the aethercurrents in the flight menu are in specific order. So, if the fifth one is blanked out, it means 'the fifth quest is not done' or 'the second one is not found' so that may help you narrow it down.
so hi there
Because if i try again FF14, i'll prob go on it, but i don't want to go on a RP server ^^
It doesn't matter If you end on a Rp server or not
individual world doesnt matter because you can world visit
Dont let that sway you. 'RP servers' aren't necessarily bad, they're often well populated by rpers and nonrpers alike, and you'll be grouping across your data center regardless.
Activation codes don't expire do they?
No
uhhhwhats the rotation command?
There's no rotation command
The only thing that want me to go on a designed server is the xp boost for "alt jobs". Otherwise i would go to Moogle for example. I don't know if the xp boost is that huge or not
I can't figure out why my activation code is invalid
Road to 70 doubles all xp gained
is there arr new game+ yet? I forget when that is/was planned
Yes
whats the command to see the rotations
The designed server sometimes change on chaos ?
There isn't any command
!faq drkopener
Double-weave
Standard DRK opener, aims to align everything with raid buffs as much as possible. If you aren't able to double weave Salted with Plunge move Plunge back with Living Shadow. Blue box represents GCDs that should be in Blood Weapon, red box is GCDs inside Delirium.
Single-weave
Should be used ONLY when you cannot work with the double-weave opener. Single-weave is a DPS LOSS and is meant for players with significantly high ping.
Server status change on patches
@modest canopy are you entering the code in the right place
and not item registration
!faq blm
does heavensward have new gear to buy from like the vendors?
or is the same ones as ARR
#kupo-bot-spam for personal use
@fading helm it has new gear
There's vendors.in idyllshire
ayy cool
@modest canopy yes
Vendor geae is fucking GARBAGE though
u purchase with gil?
yes
And worse than anything you'll have access now
!faq blmdps
Just follow the steps in this document.
i wanna take another class to HW like dragoon or something
or should i just continue with my PLD
@remote lintel I've put my activation code in like 5 times and it just keeps telling me it's invalid
ooooh i can do DRK in HW right?
Do whatever you want
I don't know which one to chose if i try again FF. A RP server isn't my thing, even if there are no RP players on it. Each time i watch the site, it's always Omega as "designed" server
is drk a seperate class or is it an extension like PLD was to GLA
what does the error say specifically @modest canopy
Every job is separate
expansion classes dont have base classes @fading helm
@modest canopy did you buy it for the right region? did you buy it for the right platform?
ok so its gonna start from 0 then?
Yeah, PC, U.S
Expansion jobs start higher
where did you buy it from @modest canopy
oh ok so it comes with more moves off the bat
the SE store
screenshot your mog station page
I bought it some time last year
the first page
Can I pre order Endwalker even though I don't have Shadowbringers and the other expac? I just have heavansward
Yes
If you own the starter edition
You'll get the other expansions on endwalker launch
Ok cool I want the +30xp earring. And I'm 10000% sure the other expacs will go on sale between now and then
wait really
yes
They always bundle old expansions into the new
hmmm. But i'll only be lvl 60
how long does it take for new player restrictions to be lifted
Well if I hit 60 with months left I'll prob buy them. Darn
Immediately after registering the game
What did you buy exactly
ah, sorry I meant for character creation on worlds
!faq serverlock
Standard, Preferred, and New Servers will dynamically open and close themselves from newly created characters depending on how many players are online. To ensure you're able to make a new character on your server try waiting or doing so at a less active time of day.
Congested Servers will not unlock for new players or transfers until Square Enix removes the Congested Status.
90 days if you mean home world transfer from a preferred world
@faint flare FINAL FANTASY XIV: SHADOWBRINGERS™ STANDARD EDITION [PC DOWNLOAD] (copy pasted from page)
it came with those previous expansions too, when i was reading it, though
it comes with stormblood, not the base game
but why would it say invalid code if it was just something else missing?
Because it's invalid for your account
because you cant register it without having the base game
Probably because it doesn't have a CD key of the game to bind to
You can't use dlc for a game you don't own
is there just an ARR base game product key? or do they force you to waste more money?
So buying Stormblood would be very stupid ? I assume shadowbringers INCLUDES stormblood?
You only paid for half of the game
The starter edition is ARR+HW
Yes
You physically can't buy stormblood
Ok so if I hit lvl 60 and can't wait for endwalker, I gotta pony up for shadowbringers. Thank you so much for all the help guys
this discord is great
Guess I could really just get every class to 60
if shadowbringers goes on deep sale though would be tempting to get closer to new content since I'll still be pretty behind
yes
you need it for an extra attack
wdym
You can't trigger Seigan without it
wth is seigan
!action hissatsu: seigan
Your best Kenki spender
It's free mitigation
It’s free mitigation if you know how to time it
i mean
And free healing with merciful eyes
alright i guess
im starting to have to many skills
and its hard to organize
any good tips?
It's standard
samurai probably has the most unique skills of all classes
I mean the mitigation is not a huge deal, but not using it would be a waste basically
so
Right
Though of all your skills it probably has the lowest priority in most situations?
Group skills together, have important stuff within reach
ok
also unshare your top hotbar with the tank stances
how do i do that
character config > hotbar > sharing
then click it on a separate hotbar
Often used skills like Kaiten and all should be near where your hand rests
well go to actions and traits and look at the rest of the skills youre going to get
and i would bind all of those
so you dont have to rearrange things so much as you level
Should you cast Jolt before Aero / Thunder or just hardcast Aero and then dualcast Thunder?
Always use Jolt (or Fire/Stone) to proc dualcast
You only hardcase thunder/aero for openers with a countdown
Hello fellow ffxiv players, how do you do? So i have some few questions about the game cause i've been kinda interested to play it
So should you use Jolt -> Aero and Jolt -> Thunder or...?
Ahh, okay, thank you!
your not a fellow player if you dont play the game
ask away tho :p
Oh
You can swiftcast thunder/aero to fish for procs
Aight
What is it you wanna know
Is it that hard to lvl up alt job if you are not on a designed server ?
Isnt a alt job leveling quicker?
What would be a good Dungeon to start learning RDM?
because u get the xp boost
Ok so how good is the gameplay like on ps4?
I've heard some things about subscription, how does it work?
How the gameplay feels like?
Is it worth playing?
trainning dummy
youre asking if its worth playing to an entire discord server of people who play the game
daily
Ok i presume it worthy then
thats the sub
u buy the base game, then pay the sub price, the game is very slow paced (atleast the beginning like 60 hours is) but if you like this style of combat you will enjoy it @steep falcon
the gameplay starts slow at first because you can only use 1 weaponskill every 2.5 secs but you eventually get abilities that you can use between those
Because i did a character on Omega last year, i didn't even have the 1 million gils i think, i don't remember why. But the fact that it's a RP server doesn't attract me that much even if i can dodge it. The best thing would be to go on a server like moogle (i don't know the reputation of their players)
there is a free trial which is the base game + the first expansion for free so give that a try and see if you like it
the 1 million gil is only for new worlds and there are no new worlds @pseudo pulsar
What's the best way to figure out where certain gear comes from for glamour? I'm totally new, and the website that the eorzea collection links you to when you click on gear does a really horrible job of explaining how you actually acquire items.
And how long is the game?
what do you mean it does a horrible job? it tells you exactly where to get it @eternal niche
Long
Understandable
the base game is like 100+ hours and the expansions are pretty long too i think its a looong game
It's 4, soon to be 5, games long
@steep falcon it took me a little over a month of playing the game several hours a day to beat it
Oh yeah, it's why i didn't receive it. But maybe i'm wrong, but if it's not that hard to up lvl max with alt jobs, it can be funnier to join a "big server" instead of a designed server which is btw RP
wdym
what do you mean bypass levels
bypass levels?
If im a begginer will i get absolutely lost and have no idea since the game have a pretty long duration ?
its mostly for alt jobs
yea I dont recommend it
@steep falcon no, you just follow the story quests
You're eased into it
@remote lintel Then maybe I'm taking crazy pills. Lots of items just say you can't buy it and it's market restricted and then say nothing else about how to get it. And then for items that are craftable, it just says craftable but doesn't give more specifics.
Read pop ups
You can, but you shouldn't
But when you are not on a designed server, your alt jobs still have bonus exp if your main is higher level i'm right ?
Why not
Can anyone tell me when the game picks up im level 10 and nothing has really happened its just trivial quest and 90% walking
You won't learn how to play the class
@eternal niche i usually just google the item and click the gamerescape link because that wiki is easier to understand
Because you don't learn how to play the game
And get carried
Cause you can't do basic sh8t
Thanks. I'll check gamerscape.
probably at like almost 70-80 hours in? thats when it picked up for me atleast lol @safe flint
Ps4- idk i heard people say they like playing on controller though
Subscription ez - u buy gametime for example u pay 13 bucks and u can play for 30 days it does not matter if your active or not timer goes. Gameplay like differs from class to class but its basically u select the target hit a ability and do a skill then combo it in another skill u have other passive abilities u activate in order to do more dmg, some classes require u to hit the enemy in a certain place like the rear or side. The enemy does attacks which are indicated by kind of zones that show on the ground . if u dodge em u dont get hit although every boss is different. Gameplay is kinda smooth and nice once u know how to play. Its very repetitive tho like any mmo you gotta like grinding and spening time on getting stronger. You can play any class with 1 character only thing u gotta do is equip the weapon of that class and boom u are that class u unlock classes by talking to the npc that gives uthe quest to unlock it each differ some u can unlock starting lvl 1 other require u to be lvl 60 with a certain class. Its worth playing if u like the mmorpg concept and look of the game
last thing we need is player that don't know what they are doing at endgame content
it really depends its different for everyone lol
yes you still get the armoury bonus
you use the item in game
but theres no point in outleveling msq
there is a lot of walking and fetch quests in general what makes those go by faster is having a mount and flying
because you cant use your higher level skills anyway
and teleporting
Is there any channel you guys recommend to learn more?
only in duties tho right?
70-80 wow... i mean i like the game the lore is cool and the cinematic drove me in but dam really that long...
yeah i would say so, all of a realm reborn is just those kind of quests aside from the dungeons and raids
Hi guys. I played the game a couple years ago and completed ARR, but stopped playing and gave my account away to a friend. Now i'm looking to return and pickup where I left off with a new account/character (so starting in Heavenward). What is the cheapest/best way to do this? Do I buy the ARR skip + level 70 boost + complete edition of the game? Is the level 70 boost necessary? Tx.
you get your first chocobo at level 20 so that makes some of the walking tasks a bit better

Learn to read
anyone have a lvl 80 samurai from who i can copy the hotbars :p
we said it wasnt recommended for new characters
Because you asked?
you were the one who bought it
I kinda got interested since i like ff and thanks to a youtuber
i mean the game is free to start with the trial so might as well try it and see how you like it
its a very generous trial lol u can get hundreds of hours out of it
@verbal swallow yes you can buy the ARR skip and either: grind your character to level 50, buy a lvl 70 job skip for the class you want, or buy a lvl 70 job skip for a class you dont want ad unlock a lvl 50 class with it
bein lvl 70 makes ur life like kind of ez but noit really at the same time because when u do certain dungeons and trials and story etc. they will sync your level down and u wont be able to use the skills u see i nyour hotbar

Cerberus, what do u advise i get?
how bad is that grind in terms of hours
probably several days
unless you start on a preferred server
then it would be way faster
In hours, 40 or so
Is there a way to see, on an inactive account, weather the character on a now preferred server has the buff?
you dont get the buff after the server becomes preferred
you have to create the character while the server is preferred
but its likely that i chose that server a year ago or .. more? cant remember becaues it was preferred isnt it?
then you dont have the buff
You would have lost it
because it was a year ago
If it was preferred before
It's likely been both 90 days and the server has swapped from preferred to standard at least once
Achievement
oh i thought the buff would stay until lvl70 and not until the server swaps?
No
you have the buff for 90 days after the server stops being preferred
Achievements > battle > dungeons
It goes away once the server is no longer preferred and 90days has pasted
the buff only lasts for 90 days or whenever the server is no longer preferred, whichever one comes last
So you're guaranteed 90 days or more
The buff lasts for infinite days if the server is preferred
okay thanks thats good to know! Now..how long, in hours, is leveling to 70 usually? And how much is the xp buff taking off that?
Twintania finally lost the buff
it continues to last 90 days after it is no longer perferred
However long it takes you to do the MSQ, minus one expansion given you do Roulettes daily
So you'd likely hit 70 by sometime in Heavensward
*under the road to 70 buff
as road to 70 multiplies all exp
Not just specific EXP
oh quest xp too? so thats a plus or meaningless since i complete the questline either way?
a plus, if you wanna level alts
As except for Stormblood and beyond jobs, you don't get any new skills from 51-60 outside of your class quests
its a hard decision, i am "already" 33 on the old acount but im missing the current addon and the price difference between full pack and the addon is 2or3bucksXD
but then again those early levels are a pain iwth the global cd
33 lvls are trivial with the road to 70 buff
i'm doing it now. I'm on lvl 20 MSQs, doing no side quests. I have two jobs at 30
The amount of xp you get is ludicrous
how much does an apartment cost?
ok so all i need to do is the one questline and maybe some of the content unlocking quests?and until lvl60 its all within the trial?
500k
yes
oh wow not bad, can u buy one whenever? or do u need to complete the whole game or somethin
you cant buy it on trial
yeah when i do sub i mean
you can buy it whenever
You just need access to the housing district
Is buying Gil allowed?
You need 2nd lieutenant in your GC as well
oh nice, theyre easier to get than houses right?
no
Report it as RMT
yes bots are everywhere
Ok it seems like i waste a cpl of beers then and going to restart XD any advise on a nice leveling experience?
Those are gil sellers which are bannable
say these are combo 1 is the top 3, combo 2 is the bottom 3
Do i basically go Combo 1 > combo 2 > combo 1 > combo 2?
Not always
you want to keep up your buffs and debuffs
you prioritize skills based on what you need
if your dots are going to fall off then you apply dot
Yeah I noticed that sometimes i need to refresh my personal buff
As Demolish is used every 3 cycles, Twin snakes and dragon kick are used every other
but the dot isn't falling off for a while yet
Dragon Kick and Twin snakes every 2nd combo, demolish every 3rd
Job wise the game is balanced enough and changing here and there that i can go for example bard and dont feel useless?
all jobs are good
yes
Yes
Ok thanks guys 🙂
It's like a 5% difference for 90% of all instances
to do the instance thing daily i need a healer role tho dont you think? dps q was longer than my daily playtime last time i tried^^
Healers will almost always have the shortest queues.
so i saw that arcanist somehow is leveling both dps andhealer role, would that be like ideal?
The caveat being that it will be your healer getting the xp, so if you're trying to level a different job, it won't do you any good
Tanks can take 1-3 minutes, DPS take about 5-10
aura can u craft me an augmented hades weapon
hmm hard choice, so leveling multi jobs at once with the road to 70 how do i actually do it?
!faq altlvlguide
just do the msq with them
ah msq is per class so i complete a cpl of quets then switch job and repeat? healer can solo too?
yes and yes
!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.
use #kupo-bot-spam
@wanton ingot you have to copy them from the game files
documents > my games > ff14 > CHR file
so i go to the npc do quest how to become warrior and now i am arcanist and warrior and both are leveling while doing msq with either?
no
As long as the job matches the level of the MSQ, you can do the MSQ with it.
creation date
you get a few levels above msq with warrior
alright i get that. any combo of jobs that is super useful?XD
no
open the folder and look at the date modified of the files to see which one was last logged in
where can i find hi res photos of the newest photos of endwalker
thank you
yes
How many hours is the A Realm Reborn play through? And when will I know when I have completed it? Is there a significant stopping or changing point? New spout here. I’m in the Sylphs area for progression reference.
I noticed that my Return animation changed, why? It's cooler now, with different sound and effect
return animation doesnt change
hmm, maybe I changed something in graphics settings
@humble blade probably 40 ish hours, and it literally pastes the word HEAVENSWARD on your screen when you get to heavensward
fastest way to get GC seals for my chocobo?
do the next main scenario quest
what does voke mean
you're given the seals needed for the issuance
Oh ok that’s good to know. Thanks much. So I have a long way to go. Many hours of entertainment.
!action provoke
Ahh... why does the whale mount have a dick?
Yes... it really is something that should not be there :I
Does the hunt sidequest actually require you being second lieutenant
I did a video on this to see how to do it if you’re struggling. There are guides out there too. Just continuing will work best.
https://luckybancho.ldblog.jp/wsurvey_en.htm?world=Louisoix
Is this real ? Or fake infos ?
Yes, you need to be 2nd Lieutenant in your grand company in order to do the quest "Let the hunt begin!"
and that quest is mandatory to get allied seals, right?
well can technically earn them without the quest if you kill a/s ranks
but to spend them, yeah kind of need to do the quest
its real, but with a small caveat that its not entirely accurate. because trying to measure activity is fairly hard for 3rd party sites
so should be taken with a bit of a grain of salt
Ok ok, so even if moogle isn't preferred, maybe it's more worth it to chose it for a french player, in case i want to enter a CL. Even if i'll lose exp bonus 😒 There isn't that much french on Omega
Thx
You mean the new whale mount, or the other one?
How are the rest of the eden promise savage raids unlocked in raid finder? Only the first one is avaliable for me, but I meet the iLevel requirement
You don't que for savages
When I tab enemies they are randomly targeted, sometimes even the farest ones. Is there a way to set Tab to the closest enemy only?
You use party finder
I have this same issue. Targeting is super random
Oh ok so once your in party you can start it
I sometimes even f up my rotation because tab targets an enemy on another side of the zone, so annoying
100%
tyfp
Until it unlocks you have to have beaten one in order to do the next.
is it possible to equip gathering scrip gear on retainer? please reply/ @!
yes @raven lantern
You cannot jump progress until they unlock the ability to, which might not be for a bit. You will not be able to go straight into Eden's Promise: Ressurection without having first progressed through e9s, 10s, and 11s. So, enjoy panel memes!
Savage tiers do eventually unlock though, and when they do you can jump straight to the last fight.
so is the "Warrior of Light" like WoW's "Hero"? You are the special boy of the story that everything just happens to rotate around?
No
Warriors of Light were the playerws from FF XIV 1.0 AFAIK
ah ok
You can skip floors through PF, but you forfeit all loot from the floors you skipped
Yes kinda
Not if you haven't got a kill on them yet.
Unlike WoW, XIV does a good job making your title feel like it's been earned. You're not a military figurehead. You're an adventurer who happens to be around when lots of crazy shit goes down.
thank you!!
You can't skip a fight you haven't beaten once already.
I've been in the queue as a DPS for 40 minutes. Do DPS bother queueing when levelling?
Like, you have to have at least 1 kill on E9S before you can do E10S in later weeks. If you don't, your party leader will get an error.
Yes
is the hildebrand side quest a part of the free trial?
The ARR and HW parts of it are.
Yes
HYPE!!!
man i can't for the life of me figure out the last quests for the Aether Currents in Sea of Clouds
You can skip to E10S once you've unlocked it by beating E9S once. You can't, for example, do normal eden, do e12n for the first time, and then join an E12S party for the first time and go straight into E12S is what I'm saying.
There are like two instances of quests that start in Ishgard and end in the location that gives you the aether current
as a dps you q then you go do something else for the almost hour if you are lucky
as a tank im getting 5-10 mins and i still think thats nuts
40 minutes seems oddly high at this hour though.
For what?
instances
Specifically what are you queued for.
Dps queues usually average around 15–20mins

I just got in after posting that 🙂
going random will cut your time down, but if yu are looking for something specific you might be waiting a while
is 150,000 gil too much for a Straw Capeline?
Hello~ I was wondering if someone would be willing to help me? I bought the game a couple of dasys ago and I have to put in an activation code. Does anyone know where I can find it? Its 20 characters.
It should be in your confirmation email from purchasing the game.
I got it on Steam. I'll check out ther email~ I'm so bad with computer sdtuff
So my friend pre-ordered the new expansion on ps4 through the playstation store, but they didn't get an email with a link to give their code like I did when I pre-ordered on PC. Is there some specific method or somewhere else they are supposed to check? Anyone know?
yeah it should be in some sort of email
Right click FFXIV on your game library and look for the product keys
Yo how do I play Gunbreaker?
get a job to lv 60 and go to the forest place
🤷♂️ it’s a desynth only item from a rare fish so price is volatile
Would it be the invoice number? that's all I'm seeing on the recipt
If you got it on Steam, it's in the product keys on Steam
Oh boy. I have no idea how to get to that xD
I mean, how do I actually play it? Like, I'm newish to tanking but do know how to, but I've got no idea how to play Gunbreaker effectively.

Oooo...experimentation is my best answer, reading tooltips and all that
Remove all your skills then read 1 by 1 while smacking a dummy
Hmm?
Weskalber as levelling rotations
Just bumping my question from before so it doesn't get lost
read what gains aggro and check out som youtube videos on rotations
!faq pewpewswordguide
:c
I got it! Thank you so much for the help!
Fully close the game and log back in
They get the prompts to sort through the preorder stuff
Console auto does it for you from those prompts
Are the prompts on the PS or in game?
is the best way to get harrowed memories still fates? or did they patch bozja?
In the game after fully closing it and relogging
Bojza has always been better with an efficient party
Okay thanks for the help I appreciate it.
You group up. Spread out over the map and aoe mobs
With average rng you get like 20-30 of each within an hour
In a proper and efficient party
I see! I haven't done the most recent stuff there yet sadly. I am mettle 14 at least
Is Keen Edge -> Brutal Shell -> Solid Barrel -> Burst Strike -> Savage Claw -> Wicked Talon -> Gnashing Fang a good opener?
For bosses, I mean
No cause that's the completely wrong way around and yoy won't have two cartridges
Solid barrel only gives 1 cartridge
Not 2
Assuming I do have 2 cartridges, tho
!faq gnbopener
You use gnashing immediately under No mercy if yoy have cartridges
I guess it’s not complicated enough for an opener faq. But consult a guide, don’t just feelycraft your own opener based on nothing
After a brutal shell
Which healing class is most sought out in PVE?
The one played better
Oh come on kupo
I can't wait to relearn all my openers in november
Jobs are well-balanced in this game.
!faq meta
Which one is more HOT based?
White mage is regens
Ohhhh okay~
is there a diagram like that for White Mage?
No
Oh yea, it is. I just realised that.
I see
Recommend eventually leveling at least two healers so that you can be flexible in parties. It’s not advisable to have two of the same job in a party, so having a backup job will let you join groups where there’s already one other healer playing your main job
im assuming i wont be able to get Machinist or gunbreaker until i finish the MSQ right?
mch requires you to get to hw
Only heavensward jobs have MSQ requirements
hmm ok
yeah, it's just cause MCH, DRK, and AST's job quests are based in Ishgard so you kinda have to get in there.
Another caveat: You won't be able to do pre-SB job's 50-60 stuff including unlocking skills until you've unlocked Heavensward.
Hey guys i want to play the game on ps5. If I just preorder the endwalker expansion, can I play the game? I havent bought any expansion so far.
Whats the release date for 5.55 Pt 2?
No, you need the base game too
You need the base game purchased if you don’t have that
25th
lol I found it it was actually the aehter currents at the first part of the map. I'm so dumb ahha
I wonder, whats the best use of the diary, the GS tokens or the certificates
What’s the best tank class?
I know you here don't support 3rd party websites for purchase, but i wonder if this would be a 30 day game time card? I already own the game, i just want to buy time without doing a current subscription
The one played properly

Tanks are the most well-balanced role of all
Just press buttons stupid and you're good
No, seriously
Meta composition doesn’t matter in this game
Everything can be competitive
That sounds like the starter edition and not a time card
As long as you know what your doing and you know your rotation
The hugest dps disparities we complain about are like 5%, and we get balance patches every three to six months anyway
!faq meta
Tbh idk what class i should be. Im lost

Cause i can't seem to buy the recurrent sub with my bank card for some reason, so i was trying to buy gametime from external sources
Why not all of them
but i cant find, and the ones i find are really expensive
Tanks share gear so
Tanks are all within 2% of each other’s dps capabilities assuming optimal play
Try buying crysta from the square enix account management site
You can use that to buy subscription

Dont be, there's no permanent choice
i dont think it will let me, cause if i cant buy i sub i doubt ill be able to buy crysta
You can play all jobs on one character so go wild
Just play what you think is nice
And then explore
You can do crysta via paypal
Warrior is a pretty nice unga bunga first tank
Astrology looks cool 
Crysta is pretty much limited outside US
Astro isn’t hard but it is busy
any way i can buy it with my bank account?
But its by far the busiest healer

none of this options work to me
Then there aren't anymore
Set up a PayPal or Amazon pay
What are gms?
Use a trusted source then for time cards. Amazon is one.
I can't for some reason my card won't let me pay online stuff, only if it is a direct payment from my bank
Game Masters, Se employers who are basically law enforcement
Game masters—SE staff moderators ingame
It's a Visa Electron card
It says "Electronic use only"
does it mean i cant do purchases online?
Debit or credit?
debit
try the visa option
SE's system sometimes gets weird about debit cards.
I have to use paypal for mine for that reason
Mine is visa debit and works fine via the visa option
I think the issue is card maybe
I'm also canadian.
Mine is also Visa debit and it works
the thing is paypal won't let me add my card, it will say that they can't proove im the owner of the card
probably
If you try too many times in the same system your bank will think you're sus and start noping transactions automatically.
i dont know if it is because of that, i made 18 a few months ago and i got a "young under 23 bank account"
something like that
Call your bank regarding this issue. They should resolve it
don't know if that restricts anything or..
Msot likely card is issue
Yeah, this sounds like a financial institution issue, if paypal won't let it.
These electron cards arent same as debit/credit ones
in your countrys, the security code behind the card is it 3 or 4 digits?
3 on Visas.
You need either debit or credit
4 on Amex.
3
hmmm ok, cause on paypal it shows 4 as an example
but this is a debit card
it says debit in the bank
back*
Visas always have 3 digit ccvs and card numbers always start with a 4.
You should be able to buy even if its not confirmed
Cause I buy stuffs and its not confirmed
not if it's a lock at the financial level
"your card is still associated to your account but you can't use it for purchases cause you can't prove you're the owner"
Yeah, that's a bank lock.
You need to confirm it onlu if u want to withdraw or deposit money from paypal account to ur bank account
No no, on a credit card, that's a bank lock, the bank is telling paypal it's a nope
thats what i want to i guess, since i cant buy with the card at least get the money to paypal to pay from there
100% contact your financial.
I'll try to do that tomorrow
I won't really need cause i'll just buy a paysafecard to get the sub, but at least i'll get an explanation
Companies have like, strict confidentiality rules, they can't tell you the codes the bank send them
Yeah, no one can help you with this, this situation calls for contacting ur bank sadly
But--they get codes, and they know if the bank's noping. This bank is noping.
Thanks anyway boys/girls
No problem, wish you luck!
NA.
sadge
i'm currently playing wow and want to get into ffxiv a bit more, i already own the complete edition but i barely played it. Was looking to get a guild or a fc or wtv it is called to get some people to hang out with and see if i can get more into the game
"Some online stores and all offline terminals do not support Visa Electron because their systems cannot check for the availability of funds." I don't know much about electron, but this is the most common issue I heard from ppl that have them, always issue when paying online
What is the recruit a friend code? I mean like when someone uses it is it like they download the game using it or the subscribe to the game using it? (Looking to get the rewards from getting friends to use the link but not sure what it does because some of them have downloaded it already)
the RAF code just gives digital items
Yh I don’t mean that tho
Like when they click on the link is it for them to install the game or subscribe?
it takes them to mog station to enter the code most likely
Don’t worry
It most likely takes them to homepage to register/purchase game I guess and they have to enter the code while they're on free 30 days of playtime that u get when u purchase game
So if they have already installed and bought the game I’m guessing it won’t work?
Do you guys know when the ps5 open beta will end?
No it wont, if they paid for sub
bc I thought I could send them a link and it would be to where they would subscribe
Ah okay thanks
They need to buy the game BEFORE buying the sub
Cause code only works on accounts that are on free 30 days
when is endwalker scheduled to?
November 23rd
once u pay sub first time, ur no longer ineligible
Yeah
2 years of expans right?
November is too far
Yes
I was hoping idk
only reaper coming out?
october
Reaper and Sage
And sage
i didnt see that on their yt
Sage was announced at the showcase way back in February
That was during the announcement showcase in February
oh yeah
3 months ago
this one was on the trailer wasnt it?
the one with mobile guns
both of them are dps right?
Sage is a healer
oh ok
A barrier healer like scholar
And definitely not based on funnels from mobile suit gundam
completely original btw -yoshi p
for the free trial can you only get up to a certain point in the game?
Yes
The free trial has a level cap of 60 and a MSQ cap of the end of the first expansion - Heavensward.
im trying to do MSQ but it says free trail wont allow. ive only been playing for like 4-hours
What specifically are you trying to do?
Only exception I can think of is Korea server as they're independent
wait im stupid i was clicking a trader thats right infront of the quest LOL
its fine now it was also red because i didnt have a mask on
so i got confused
Yes, but nothing really like it is now
I see
Is there a set teir list for crafting? Like when I should swap out all my gear for the next teir up? Does the make sense?
Is it faster to farm those memory things from frontier in bozjan or outside?
As a MCH main I can finally collect them all! After all these years!
GUN Damage, GUN Tank, and GUN Healer!

Cluster means those memory things?
Guys what do u think about paladins?
theyre fine
Clusters are bojzan cluste4s
Cluster is another thing, but Cluster Farming gives a lot of memories
!faq meta
For 1-60 the stats are basically linear so highest level is best. Past that you can use scrip gear from Rowena’s House of Splendor as a grindier alternative to vendor/crafted leveling gear.
Regular mobs, not magitek give memories more regularly
i also got a decent amount reflect farming
Cluster farms only kill magitek
Okie doki ty!
Is it possible to make alliances outside raids?
Yes
My friend says you can only do it with full parties. This true?
I found a character that I really like in the eorzea database. Is there a way I can find out what option numbers they used in the character creation screen?
CMTool.
What's that?
darn. I don't even know how i'd do that
The 100k allgeian pouches where do I get them from?
I got 5 from a email but I believe it was cause I bought something from the online shop
Can I make boss castbar bigger in size?
@novel python random places but you dont get them in bulk
Yeah they are just given out when the game wants to give you money
Yes. Go into the hud editor, select the target bar from the dropdown and press the cog next to it...then split the target bar then you can adjust the cast bar separately
hmm thanks
is there an ongoing returning player free week type thing?
No
or nothing atm
not right noq
rip
now*
kinda random
Just happens
but not now, since EW just got announced
yep
Yes. November 23
the 23rd
damn
covid fucked us kinda hard
at least we know it will be high quality
Weird noob question. Is there a way to get what people /say and /yell to appear as chat bubbles instead of JUST in the chat box?
No
nope
drat
So i saw the ishgard restoration is completed, any other way to obtain the saint of firmament title ?
No
K
What’s max level for squadron people? And do I do anything with them when max to farm Gil or something?
60
Is BRD hard to play optimally?
Are they just used for command missions for leveling jobs?
no @ripe hound
Or do squad missions do anything once 60?
I always remember BRD was supper hard. But I guess it’s probably because it was my first main and I was bad
Also I cannot let my retainers glamour the Grand Company suits rights?
Hi new player. If I wanted to buy whatever I need to play most recent content what would I buy? Thank you ❤️
complete edition
why do people hate monk dot
They don’t? Unless you’re looking at older skills for them
@fallen fractal Ye complete edition, make sure you check its for Pc or playstation or Steam
Would you say better to buy on steam or website? I know you can't go between the two.
@obsidian patiosoemone was saying they hate it cuz they clip it cause its too long?
i feel like its too short

Those people are bad if they say it's too long
Cause with 3 cycles it's perfect timing
i think its too short
@fallen fractal imo pc version is good enough for me, steam too much trouble i feel
@faint flarehow do u clip it though
okay. 60 bucks for complete editon than 15 for sub right?
By being stupid and refreshing it every 2 cycles
@faint flare"you end up having to like shuffle one ability every combo to adjust and not clip the dot"
is this true
Ye thats it, you can choose the basic sub its abit cheaper
Yes, cause Twin and Dragon kick every 2 cycles
And Demolish is every 3 cycles
So you can't just do the same two "combos" back to back
so ur supposed to do the dot every 3 cycles or 2?
Every 3
cuz i never really had a problem with it I just find it annoying that dot and twin snake is super short, how would you clip it though?????
Because bad players refresh it every 2 cycles
does it really matter if its 2-3 though lol
maybe if ur trying to be super optimized but i feel it doesnt change much
i for one only care about twin snake the dot is shit to me
Every time you refresh dots early is a large amount of lost damage
Same with refreshing buffs late
You do it extremely often and it's a major dps lost
I think he just means that he don't like how Monk needs to shuffle the rotations
no not that
It's more of a, I have all jobs at lv 80 and I would rather not play Monk, even if it means I need to adjust to Caster or Healer or Tank
i just dont care about the damage loss that much
You Wut
Losing something like 50 potency or whatever just for clipping a dot early adds up EXTREMELY FAST
Especially when you remember just how.much you do it in a fight
That lost is easily multiplied into the thousands
why would i clip the dot though?
do the starting stats of races matter?
Because you're lazy and bad
But yeah, I don't play MNK but from what I'm hearing, MNK's rotations is more "freestyle", or like, you don't use combos
No
how would u even clip the dot anyway LOL by using a ogcd???????
I think clipping is dot just means "Refreshing a DoT before it is almost gone"
Which is a large dps lost
ok that makes sense
well yea i dont use demolish every 3 cycles
becase dot/twin snake woudl need a refresh
As a beginner in ShB I lined up my BRD's songs with DoTs...
I'll admit I wasn't so bright and I'm not proud of it
They don't affect each other
6s
i can see why people will find it annoying
honestly should just make both skillsthe same duration or longer imo
They're made that way with greased lightning in mind
Monk’s full rotation goes like this
DK/Twin/Demo
Boot/True/Snap
DK/Twin/Snap
Boot/True/Demo
DK/Twin/Snap
Boot/True/Snap
yea i can see why people hate that especially if ur used to a class like sam
But yeah, people have preferences, it's normal to have a job or two you just really really don't like playing, but you still leveled them to 80 because of completionism
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F9ee_Ez6tFk I heard there is a FFXI version of this but I cant find it
01-Eternity: Memory of Lightwaves-FFX-2 OST
Doesn’t sound familiar to me
I like it though lol
If I hit 70 on one job with the road to 70 buff. does it fall off for my other jobs?
No
Also BRD is just, do this opener, then just keep going right?
Like, no rotation
Just adjust?
yep
Just make sure to always pair raging with barrage
How do I learn BRD? Just hit a dummy for an hour?
They shouldn’t drift apart
5.4 buff: Burst Shot now 250 potency lol
5.3 Patch Notes: Sidewinder now does 350 potency if both dots are applied.
Refulgent Arrow and Burst Shot increased by 10 potency.
New? Got too many skills? Made the mistake of using a level skip and have no idea what anything does? Just hate reading? Try this guide out!
This guide seeks to teach new B...
I think BiS uses like 2.48 but low is best for them
I see
Also I don't have to use them together right? As long as they don't drift apart and Barrage is always in the window?
Correct
Nice

are the shadowbringer relic weapons completed?
tbf, that's literally been monk's gcd rotation since 2013. Monk mains have been doing that forever--that's not their pain point
There is never a reason to use Burst Shot when Refulgent Arrow is ready right?
Not until 5.55
ty
Why is low skillspeed good for ranged classes? does it keep their buffs and dots aligned better?
it varies by job
Varies by job, a lot of jobs want perfect alignments
Since Skillspeed don't effect CD of oGCDs
Like with MCHs, they're already at max speed during their burst window so skillspeed doesn't affect them at all
DRK needs just enough SKS to fit 5 GCDs into its burst window
If you break down a job by where most of their damage is from you can see some damage is affected by x speed and some isn't, and if too much is unaffected, x speed is garbo for that job, unless they have a specific concern like 'get x things in y seconds consistantly'
while DRG wants no SKS at all
BLM loves SpS because most of its damage is from churning through their MP as fast as possible
I really should move from a crit based meld and equipment set to a spell speed one.
RDM hates SpS because 1/3 of its damage is unaffected, and sps's gains for getting more burst phases is negated by Manafication.
As BRD, do I always use Iron Jaws at the end of my Raging Skies window?
I saw a fucker with a 2.32 Fire IV cast within the last week.
Ah, really? I'm comfy with the 4x fire IV's and the big crits.
mhm
