is there anybody in the faerie server that wants to start a new char with me? 😄 im new
Does removing materia destroy it?
Whistle (+80% damage to next Physical attack)
Moon Flute (+50% damage for 15 seconds)
Off-Guard (+5% damage on target for 15 seconds)
Tingle (+100 potency to next physical attack)
Final Sting (1,800 potency physical attack that kills you)
1-6 have a 100% retrieval rate, 7 is 80% and 8s are 40%
and then add in Basic Instinct for solo (+100% damage/healing)
All of that makes Final Sting do 400k-900k damage
(There's also DPS mimicry which adds 20% crit/DH proc rate but that's not a direct damage buff in terms of +damage%)
Nope did my prae run a long time ago
Is blu stil the fastest solo fate killer at stormblood areas
yep
Whats the thing that is used to store your glamour?
Glamour Dresser
Also there’s the instakill/percentage spells for mobs
BLU is basically the king of fates if the enemies can be stunned or frozen
!action Perpetual Ray
Deals unaspected damage with a potency of 220.
Additional Effect: Stun
Duration: 1s
Ignores target's Stun resistance.
Employed to great effect by a certain godlike machine, the concentrated heat that comprises Perpetual Ray has the capacity to deaden nerve endings and sever links between mind and muscle. By directing the beam with particular finesse, the savvy mage can render a foe entirely immobile.
The Manipulator / Alexander - The Burden of the Father
Type: Magic
Aspect: None
Rank: 4
With enough blue mages using this, the boss is permanently stunned if it can be stunned
Oh mb ^^; I thought I was in the run with you, my friend was left behind on the elevator and I went back down for them
Thank you
I still need to grind out blue mage skills x.x
Started working on HW beasttribe quests. ...Is there any fast ways to navigate around the sea of clouds?
Flying
even with flying mount it's..still quite a trip.
Okay so if I've two or more jobs sharing the same gear and have different glamours linked to them
They only switch to their respective glamour plates in cities but not in non city areas
Is there way to counter this
Or it is what it is
Get used to the trip then
Get flying. Cry.
no, you have to deal with the glamour plate rules
Damn man
Was worried I was going to get that answer lol. Thanks. I already attuned to the aether current in all of HW. (I don't even think you can start the beasttribe quests before flight..)
You can
So like if I wanna power level in deep dungeons I gotta go back to a city to change glamour and come back?
i mean...or just don't bother changing gear because potd/hoh doesn't care about it?
I just noticed there are TWO sets of Poetics gear for level 60, which is better?
One seems to have better stats
My rouge archer and pugilist is sharing the same gear
Augmented Shire
cos like i said, potd doesn't give a shit about what you're wearing. your aetherpool is the only thing that matters
whichever has the higher ilvl
they're both elvel 60
if my q times for duty finder are insanely long do I just have to wait for peak time to do it?
change gear on one of them
one is DOW I and other is DOW II
i270 Augmented Shire
so you're not wearing the same exact thing
DoW II
OK
Wait where are you
Guess I'll have to do that
what are you queueing for
i270. also idyllshire has both the 240 and 270 one. you'll want the 270 ones
i learned that the hard way
Castrum Fluminis, msq for post-game Stormblood
Are you talking to the ladies in Idyllshire at the giant building in the middle
Enable auto run for beast tribe dailies @fiery ginkgo
then yeah, probably wanna wait til prime time or try using tank/healer if you're not already
Doesnt make it faster
Makes it less annoying
already been doing that since ARR Beasttribes, but the advice is still appreciated.
It's just that sea of clouds is so...massive lol
at least i can teleport back
so it's only a one way trip
Did u do the moogle beast tribe yet
You'll find the true meaning to annoying
Joy. I take it even Stormblood is pretty bad about it?
Sb job quests are easy
Finishes pretty quick
Same for shb
Iirc I finished the Shb pixie tribe within 5 minutes
So ARR beasttribes taking ~10 minutes is the norm for the other ones and HW is just wack?
I only did moogles from HW it's very annoying
Need some controller player help
well, vanu vanu is really the only one that takes time
since sea of clouds is so big
@obsidian patio
^.
vath are usually pretty quick cos forelands is a smaller
Introduce him to moogles
moogles are not really that bad
Yes?
Suzume needs controller help
only thing i know about moogles is crafting is involved
I’m missing my OGCDs during raiding and that’s affecting my score very much. Is there a way I can set my OGCD skills separate from my hot bar so that they stay on screen all the time ? But still be able to be used by the same button layout?
20 quest chains just to unlock moogles
Then dailies are basically
Talk to this dood
That dood tells you to talk to another dood half the map away
Realest that like 3 times
Basically moogles
This is on PS4 and on controller btw
make PC hotbars visible and drag your skills onto those with virtual mouse
moogle unlock really isn't that bad
Enable cross hotbars
Virtual mouse being activated with L1+R3
and neither are the dailies but 🤷♀️
i probably started moogle questline without even knowing lol i have like 15 blue quests in progress
Ye
Yes
I'll send you a link one min
So say if I add it to hot bar 10, will I still be able to use the skill with my default button layout?
visual example of it on my DRG
yes, the PC hotbars won't interfere with gameplay at all
hey uuh..could use some help. for some reason FFXIV keeps on crashing after pressing the play button for me?
Brief guide to setting abilities to cross hot bar, expanded hot bar settings and how to turn them on, as well as ui placement, targeting with a ps4 controller (enimies and party) with shortcuts. This set up works well with dps healing and tanking. I max out all jobs with each expantion and use the same setup for each. Ps. sorry for the nose brea...
Thanks a lot
does it give a specific error code?
figured asking here would be faster than the notoriously slow support email
steam or squeenix launcher?
There's lot more but he'll tell you the basics
nope. it just immediately shuts down.
squeenix
You've to figure out which settings works best for you
!faq quicklauncher
see if this works
if not, then it might be corrupted files and you'll need to uninstall/reinstall the game
Alternatively
no way to verify file integrity? (since i'm not on the steam version)
not that I'm aware of.
CTRL SHIFT ESC and see if you have a FF instance running for some random reason and nuke it
if it makes you feel any better i had to do a clean reinstall on the steam version because i had the trial of XIV and upgraded to the full version
did that. it was a very clean crash with no backgrounds being stuck
Should I have it on toggle?
Oh you already checked task manager?
Then listen to Wynne
thinking that files may be screwed since i moved it to a diff HDD couple weeks back
Have what on toggle
Cross hot bar control
I'll let Wynne answer that because I don't remember what that is 
last question from me:
I want to pick up another tank. I enjoy DRK. recommendations?
Is there a way to set up your HUD changing based on your job?
Besides manually swapping when you change jobs
you can make a macro to switch HUD layouts but you only have 4 slots
/gearset change 5
/hudlayout 3```
for example
I have all of those on hold
^ if you use macros to change jobs, you can have it also change layout with /hudlayout number
ninja'd
including Hold and WXHB crossbars
I personally love DRK. But it's mainly because aesthetics
And ty for the answer guys
i sense a bit of bias I love big swords and it's fun weaving attacks as DRK
yeah but paladin straight up takes 0 damage >.>. I heard warrior is the go to class if you want "DPS but shorter queue"
ehh, if you want a tank that feels like a DPS in terms of rotation I'd suggest Gunbreaker
WAR and DRK from what I've seen play pretty similar
Bur WAR does more damage
But DRK has the better mitigation
war does not play the same as drk
So what does Paladin offer for me?
I said from what I've seen it does >_>
it might have what people consider "inner release lite" but thats not your burst window
It plays similar and has similar aspects
You get to be a Paladin
PLD has the most survivability, but at the cost of damage
Uh Paladin gets you heals in 4 man content if your healer is trash
*does not apply to content below Lv 58
^
I am dumb 
so I have a 526 Healer, how easy it is to do E2S now?

You're i526?
So I enabled these but how do I change them to what I want
Go back to your settings
Bro you can do all of Eden Savage
you'll skip a fair amount of the mechanics in e2s
just do a quick refresher via a video or something
before oyu put up the pf
so you at least have an inkling of whats going on in case things go south
pandaemonium is 6.0 right
yes
and I only did the final tier
ty
just watch a video before the pf, it doesn't really matter when you started playing
any mechs I should watch for in E2S
they stagger normal mode and savage for expac release
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLuA3-OBcb0
just skim this video

depending on how much dps your party can output the less of the later bits you'll need to have an idea of
Is there an easy way to get the same command bar for every (crafter) class? Like do I need to manually make the same command bar 8 times? (like copy paste in a .dat file or something like that)
/hotbar copy ALC 1 current 1
/hotbar copy job1 current 1
/chotbar for controller
if someone preorders endwalker without owning any prior expansions, will they be included right now or not?
can make it a macro with all your bars and tehn just apply and swap jobs
no, you only get the expansions once endwalker launches
will the earrings still be included at that point or not?
pre-order earrings are delivered earlier
since they're part of the pre-order code
whereas the expansions are tied to the full code for endwalker
gotcha
Pre-order earrings are delivered as soon as you pre-order Endwalker and put in the code
And to clarify--when it launches, NOT early access.
So this one will take over the Alchemist hotbar to the one job I have open right now? (Like Armorer)?
Yesterday I tried to log in on PSN with my old account (steam) I changed the password 5 times but nothing, it continue to say me " the password is wrong) I tried 3 times to log in with my laptop, all ok. I don't understand why I can't.
yes whatever is on alc will be copied to your current class
With on PSN I mean in the game
you can change alc to whatever other dol/doh
so like if you adjusted crp already, just change it to crp
omg I am blessed, thank you so much!
are the card rewards from triple triad challenges from the world unique or i can find the same cards elsewhere cause i wanna collect them all
most of the npc ones are unique to the npc but there are several that can be gotten thru other methods
some NPCs have overlap in card rewards. you can check where a card comes from with this site https://triad.raelys.com/cards
Base on Sb, how long will the Diamond Gwiber will be purchasable with totems ?
most likely 5.58
thanks
also is the card game and the gold saucer updated with each expansion or its static from arr
NPCs don't really get updated, besides new ones being added with patches
as for the gold saucer itself, new cards somewhat regularly get added to the MGP vendor
this patch added the Valens Van Varro card to the shop

Hey, i have some questing regarding returning to ff. I have bought the game, do i need gametime to play it or am i able to play the trial thats offered?
if you bought the game before then you need to buy game time
Ok thanks 🙂
i mean with new regions added and expansions if there are triple triad challenges there
Does buying the new xpac come with included gametime? thanks in advance 🙂
nope
Hello, if I have my main version of the game that I play, but Also I bought a steam version and connect it with my main game profile, I cant play bcs I dont have subscribtionnon that steam version... is there a way how I could play trial?
Or its bcs I bought the game but if I buy it I need to still subscribe compared to trial version that is completely free
If you've ever bought a version of the game that account can never go back to trial
i was looking my challenge log and it has time limite (24 hours remaining) does the challenge log reset?
I see... Thanks
Weekly reset
8am server time on tuesdays
i see
So in 24 hours 17 minutes
is it currently possible to get the werewolf attire chest?
So for the past FFXV collaboration event, you were able to get the mount as well as the noctis glam yeah? During that time was the noctis glam in the mogstation or just a set you got from doing the event?
it's on mogstation I think
So I want to make an alt in another dc purely to test my ping and weaving, would the fastest way be getting to 30, unlocking job stone, and going to wolves den to unlock 80 skills?
is yugiris outfit available to purchase? it looks nice
I do not believe so, no
There's lv1 striking dummies in most starter areas you can use to practice weaving
depending on which one you're talking about, she just uses the level 70 ninja artifact gear.
but if you mean her very first outfit, then that one isn't obtainable
what's the current bozja gear ilvl?
Weapon is 515. Armor is 510.
Crit, det, skill speed iirc if this changes you'll be able to change the refinement for poetics later
Nah like you won't even have any ogcds that early on is what I mean
The trailer one?
That's probably the lv90 artifact gear
i thought max was level 80?
it's not in the game yet
Lvl 90 when endwalker drops
it's endwalker gear
!faq zodiac
Hit level 50 then start A Relic Reborn (paladin) in North shroud
Gotta get to lvl 50 first then its a very long grind
is it not a fun time
No
yeah im lv 56
No it is not
Its pretty boring honestly
how long does it take?
I mean you can knock out the first 2 steps easy enough for a half decent looking sword and shield
probably 2-3 weeks for the whole thing
Relic quests are content meant to keep people occupied for dozens of hours
per class
The books take forever and rely on fate spawns
It's faster now than it was back in the day, but it's still long
how long is first 2 steps lol?
A few hours
a day or two depending on queues
If you're already a crafter
ill be fine with the half decent looking stuff im just sick of the ones i hav ern
ohg im not.
if you're on Aether I can craft you one of the primal's sword and shield
Is this the last step of the weapon or is there more?
TIL 5.55
For less than 2 weeks
thanks for the offer! @proud willow im currently on trial tho so i cant even trade
Is there a blue mage spell that get boosted if you apply heavy status on enemy?
Heavy I don't think so
ok
Does your gear matter in bozja?
no
no, but you do need gear equipped
but it can be anything, even glamour
The only gear that has an actual effect in bozja is stuff with the "Save the Queen" on it
which is Augmented Bozjan and Augmented Law's Order
So I got all my crafters to 80. I haven't done ANY class quests and I have full set of green ilvl490 gear. How do I unlock recipes and what do I need to do?
First of all
Go back and do all your crafter class quests
You're missing out on powerful skills like
What about master books?
!skill manipulation
!faq scripunlock
Unlocking scrips (Foundation x10, y10.)
Unlocking Idyllshire's House of Splendors (Mor Dhona 22, y6)
Unlocking Rhalgr's Reach House of Splendors (Rhalgr's Reach x10, y12)
Unlocking Eulmore's House of Splendors (Eulmore at x11, y10, on the top floor)
Master books are bought yellow scrips
doing these should unlock the mastercraft books from the scrip vendors
for masterbooks 7+8, those can only be bought in Eulmore
Scrips are earned in a way similar to levequests, but can be done as much as you want
So right now my priorities:
- Do all class quests.
- Unlock scrips and buy books with scrips?
Yes
yep.
Oh and 1.5 unlock custom delivery npcs for ez scrips
That faq thing is helpful
Also you can do role quests in the crystalline mean in crystarium for more scrips but only once
I think I MIGHT have scrips unlocked
Yeah I have them unlocked, no quest in foundation
Do I actually need all previous books?
generally no
But the old books are pretty cheap/fast to get
so it's a "why not" thing after getting the level 80 books
Mastercraft 1 wants tradeable items, and mastercraft 2 is trivialized by Trained Eye
You do need a lv60 master book to finish your 60 quests
Can I do books and then class quests?
GIven that I'm super overgeared for most of the crafting stuff?
Like, for unlocking purposes? Or I won't be able to do some things without doing class quest?
But I'd still recommend getting as far as you can into the class quests first
More skills = better crafter
but in terms of what the class quests give, the level 65 one is the most essential
!action manipulation
Although you have trained eye so they'll be a cakewalk
so looking at the guide for eternity savage, and there are 2 parts. is the 2nd part followed immediately after 1st part or can i queue for that seperately?
basically a better Master's Mend in most scenarios
You have to do it all in one session
you do get a checkpoint after beating phase 1
Afaik you get a checkpoint inside of ONE instance
It's why e12s has a 2 hour timer even though 9-11 have 90 min timers
does the timer reset for the 2nd phase?
No
nice nice
Nope but if you wipe you'll start off second part
If you run out of time, you have to clear p1 again
The lions and icicles are always waiting for you
and what's the reward? one book per week?
The chest and weapon
Oh no what have I done
Chest is pretty much universally best in slot
Is that reversible if I get specialist?
Clearing the quest no
But you can have up to 3 specialist crafters
Idk which crafter to make specialist, do I just abandon quest for now?
And you can change up to 3 of those a week
and you can change them for like 100 scrips
Probably
is the weapon guaranteed? or is it random?
a random weapon drops + a weapon coffer
i did the titan savage once
i think the quest just unlock specialist. You become specialist with a separate item
You are a long ways away from clearing e12s, you'll want to gear up from e9-11s first
Get as close to bis as possible
2 hours max
2 hours what? Where lol?

Do the highest level dungeon available to you
You're a tank so your queues will be stupid fast
Oh I thought you didn’t get much exp if it’s not a roulette
For dungeons the mobs give very good exp
you get experience appropriate for the dungeon's level
spam dungeons, stack all exp buff, i did it in 2 hours anw ¯_(ツ)_/¯
so as long as you keep doing the highest available that's not level 50/60/70, it's good experience.
Double that for your road to 70 bonus and you'll level fast
More like you get more experience if dungeon is lower level than you (when doing roulette) just to compensate and more
It would be if you were dps
Also, https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/The_Boutique_Always_Wins quest just ... poofed
Like it disappeared for some reason, where did it go?
Probably add an extra hour for job quest cutscenes
it's a super quick "accept and complete" quest
Yeah that's it
It's done
It's like hunt board quesrs
so it's not like a linkshell?
no
so all these fellowships that say "join our discord" but don't actually have a discord link are misleading and redundant?
Is there a way to lessen other peoples ability effects in raids
do you mean like the visual effects?
yes
maybe the invite link is in some super old post or something, or there's some stuff you can only see on the community finder site but not ingame, not super sure tbh
System Config > Graphics Settings
and
Character Config > Control Settings > Character
@scarlet hinge
both of those should be able to help
what does limited do
i have no idea honestly
it hides most effects but "essential" ones like friendly ground effects
it still shows important things like healer bubbles, provokes, drk salted earth etc
Does anyone know if there’s a way to increase the speed the camera automatically rotates to track the character?
Sorry I couldn’t find it
how rare is a 3star card drop i have beat this guy over 10 times (he also have 2 card drops as rewards if it matters)
fellowships don't show up on the community finder, only linkshells and free companies
oh rip
how long has it been since you played warrior
it's a direct upgrade of the skill through a trait, so yes it's normal
^
there are some skills that have been reworked to directly chain from other ones within the same button press
yeah
uh, every time a new expack comes out, all the classes get massive reworks
lol
because it's still a thing when you level sync to below the upgrade level or something

Hello, i have 2 questions if someone is kind enough to help me out. 1.- i stopped playing ffxiv a while ago and i have up to heavensward expa (non-steam version) and i wanted to start over again but now buying it all in Steam. Will using the same Square Enix account make some conflict by having heavenswards?
2.- My second option is making a completly new account and link that one with steam. pre-ordering Endwalker expa will it grant me inmediate access up to shadowbringers?
Second one, no, you only get access to the expansions when EW launches if you pre-order
Your account is locked to either steam or squenix on pc
And sounds like squenix
Any reason you want to play on steam?
Fair enough
So yeah, if you're not gonna play a lot you could just buy base and Endwalker if you don't think you'll finish hw by November
Then again preordering Endwalker will give you the exp earring which will probably speed you up
isn't endwalker coming this november?
Is there one in your inventory?
you're also looking at pants, not feet.
Equipped?
sabatons are feet
no
In your feet section like Wynne said?
They're either in your inventory or in your armoury chest feet section.
that warning also appears if no one rolled on an item that would make it go to you, but you wouldn't have been able to roll for it if you already had it.
Sabatons are boots
yes, I found it in "boots" section, but why
Because they are boots
aah, I see, I got confused by the icon
they look like leggins
Tall boots
they're tall boots.
Something something thigh high joke
some boots go up to the thighs.
ye, now when I watch closer they're boots indeed
You could also right click the item and search it
How do you spell someone's name with a macro?
<t>
<t> will do your target
or other placeholders like <2> through <8> for the party list
This extends to enemies so you might accidentally say resing <boss>
@warm snow thanks for the help, now ima go no-life it.
ty
They've streamlined arr a bit back in 5.3 make sure you do your novice Hall tutorials for the brand new ring
!item Brand New Ring
Increases EXP earned by 30% when level 30 and below.

What DPS can do The LB on Nero in the Prae run?
ranged or magic if are good at quick targeting
Tank and healer lbs are useless for damage and melee obviously needs to be in melee range
(and lb bar self yeets by the time melee gets in range)
Indeed
is it hard to get flying for your mount?
Not at all
!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/
Slightly tedious from hw on but nothing difficult
in ARR zones you get flying capability for free, in expansion zones you need to gather aether currents. Gathering aether currents is pretty easy and painless, but it's highly recommended that you do it simultaneously with doing MSQ, because almost all the aether current locations are pretty close to the main MSQ path. They're convenient to do along the way, but if you leave it until later then it becomes a chore.
Easier to do for dps since you have longer dungeon queues
thank you 😄 im at main story lvl 46, should i push for 50 and unlock flying? im assuming its 100x better experience in traveling
Just go at your own pace. But msq is the second highest priority while playing regardless
it is faster by 10% from ground mount after speed boost and no obstacle cause you fly yes
Yes
Crap
All the scions got character redesigns which will be spoiled
And some other stuff including the main base ShB twist
alrighty thanks!
Hmm and if I'm mid post -SB story does the Shb trailer has spoilers for the other half
Yes
Not really
||Whether or not people actually die when disappearing, tension yknow||
EW trailer has some spoilers for certain concepts introduced in ShB and some villains from post-ShB. It doesn't really spoil any major "big twist" story beats from Shadowbringers, except stuff about the fates of certain characters.
Generally wouldn't recommend watching trailers til your up to date, so ShB trailer when you're done sb etc
Yeah
What constitutes spoils is somewhat subjective so better to play it safe
I got an odd question, I usually leave my FPS at my max which is 144, but the game goes from 76-98, which is cool it looks nice regardless, is that making my fans and cpu work overtime?
when I do lock it to 72, it dips in weird areas, which I dislike
What do you mean exactly?
If you being at 76-98 fps is causing your pc to work more than usual?
By done we mean including the patch content
As an AST, if I draw bad a few times, do I postpone Divination or do I go with a suboptimal one?
Might wanna try asking in #technology-discussion
I suspect now is a good time to return since you can chill and catch up easy right?
oh im just asking does my PC not hitting 144 cause it to overwork to hit it?
also yeah ill go to tech
Third party software that's technically against tos
Never postpone divination for that
i will get banned for it lol?
Yush. Thanks
Not if you don’t talk about it in public ingame chat
i won't, it's only to see how i do
No, but if you mention it in game, for example giving out to a player for suboptimal dps saying their specifics probably will
Majority of the raiding community openly uses it with no risks
Advanced Combat Tracker
That’s the only important one.
You can also try the quick launcher
!faq quicklauncher
It’s just a smoother experience than the official launcher
thanks alot 😄
Does blue mage spell "launcher" work as a normal spell or bosses are immune to it like missiles?
oh
Not all bosses are immune to missile btw
nope I don't dc often
If your team killed the boss I believe you still get the completion (at least that happened to me once)
often done in dungeons, if you dc and vanish, they might wait a few minutes for you before deciding they have to go on. it's not because they don't like you lmao
Heya, when do I unlock a mount? I'm level 31 and up to the GC part of the MSQ's.
!faq mount
'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.
Thank you! Any second now then 😄
Your actual level means nothing 90% of the time as everything is locked behind msq
!faq job
To unlock your class' job you need to be level 30, complete all of your class quests and the main scenario quest 'Sylph Management' (lvl 20 quest) to be able to pick up your job unlock quest. Once you've done the initial unlock quest, you will be given a soul crystal which you must equip to become your class' job.
This will be relevant soon too
Very important
Can I disable this icon or make it much smaller? https://i.imgur.com/vg3vX3L.png
Awesome. I'm LNC at the moment but am fed up with these queue times so going to level my GLD to 20 and pick up the MSQ's with that as soon as I get the mount.
hey so uh quick question, ive played the trial/beta/whatever back in 2013 and I wanted to play the current free trial again but it seems I can't cause a "service account" is already associated with my account (even after i just deactivated it on the web portal), do i really have to make a new account or? The trial isnt time limited AFAIK right?
I think your account is still attached, see if you can reactivate it
you mean that?
i mean the UI is the same for everyone lol
Yes but I never deactivated my account so it'll be different
How is machinist ocgd wise? Do I have to combo well to be effective
Wait thats all jobs..
it's one of the most weave-heavy jobs
Machinist is very apm intensive
May I ask how?
It has a regularly occuring window where you weave stuff into a 1.5s gcd
aside from that you also weave some other things, like most jobs
you hypercharge every 40s or so, you get 6 gcds that are 1.5s and also reduce the cooldown on ricochet and gauss round by 15s
so it's like, hypercharge -> heat blast + ricochet -> heat blast + gauss round -> heat blast + ricochet etc
Jesus christ
it's not as bad as it sounds since it's effectively just 3 buttons
just fast, but muscle memory will take care of that
Is there any CP food better than HQ chili crab?
Atm no
ah bummer, I'll have to pick up a soul then. thanks
can you remove tier 8 materia? and does augmenting cryptlurker gear keep or destroy the materia slotted in?
Yes, at a 40% success rate
Failure to retrieve it will destroy the materia
Retrieval rates are based on the materia tier, not gear
augmenting always deletes the materia, because you're trading in the old item for a new one that's an upgraded version, nothing will carry over since it's a different item
are you meant to purchase a new set of materia whenever you get new gear/sets or after you augment them? because I've been hoarding all the materia I get from msqs/side quests/beast tribes
if you're gonna have an unaugmented piece for a long time then might as well meld it
what's melding?
attaching the materia
Materia is piss easy to get
even grade 8 materia is easy to come by and cheap on the market so it's not like its a significant investment to fill all the slots yeah
does adding materia to gear increases its item level?
no
if you played the old trial that was time limited you can't make another trial account with the same square enix account so you would need to make a fully new account
what are my chances of finding a game of ultimate alexander on the duty finder? are ppl still doing them?
Would my best bet be through FC or party finder?
you need a solid group of competent players, learning and clearning the fight can take weeks to months
do ppl only do it once or do they try and get all the weapons for all the classes?
Depends
depends on the group, some people just want the title for completion and others want all the weapons
but still it's not like "
today i will clear alex ultimate with my fc" it's like, the hardcorest of hardcore raid content
What's this open window setting? https://i.imgur.com/VQgWXH1.png
Do some roulettes or fates to level up.
presumably the amount of windows you can have open like character window, currency tab, inventory and so on
oh
current best setup for non boss fate clearing with blu?
been just kinda chucking missiles and sonic booms
What are some good sites that i should be using for FFXIV?
The Rams Voice for basically an AoE superstun for up to 21 total seconds. Pair it with Ultravibration to 1-hit kill frozen enemies.
Main filler spell should be Choco Meteor with your chocobo companion out, as it's your strongest filler spell at 300 potency.
24hrs 
The Dragon's Voice is also nice for hitting large amount of enemies at once that aren't near you.
okay thanks
hope it works tomorrow
Hydro pull is neat to group stuff
huh mostly new spells
guess Ill start finding those out
Garland Tools is a very nice database website with tons of useful stuff if you know what you're looking for.
Gamerescape Wiki is considered the most up to date wiki for the most part.
The new spells are extremely powerful
Both ends half's basically all mobs Hp, Nightbloom shreds boss Hp...tingle + whistle triple trident and Bristle Mantra magic shreds more HP in single target
I'm pretty new so i'll pin those (in my favs) for when i get more familiar, do you know if there's any sites that just put overall guides on the game in PDF format?
Is there a "you should be at roughly X ilvl while at this level" guide for leveling?
I feel like I'm strugglign atm
!faq allguide
Thank you ^~^
Is there some "sweet spot" for piety or should I try to get it as high as possible?
This is a quick read guide for most content
as much as you think you need for comfort
ah, hrm
Less is better if you can handle it, since it means you can get more damage-focused stats
I don't know how piety translates to mana regen so I just stacked it up to 2.1k for now
!faq stats
but now someone in my FC told me that's ridiculously high haha
1-49: basically near your level.
50-53/54: Augmented Ironworks for best possible stuff (i130)
54/55-59: highest possible Dungeon gear and HQ crafted gear (i136-148)
60-63/64: Augmented Shire (i270)
64/65-69: highest possible Dungeon gear and HQ crafted gear (i273-288)
70-73/74: Augmented Scaevan (i400)
74/75-79: highest possible Dungeon gear and HQ crafted gear (i403-418)
I think the "Well rounded" BiS set for WHM on The Balance has just over 1k Piety
So yeah, 2k is a lot
Ah, so its the Dungeon/HQ Gear that I'm slacking on then.
Thanks.
Especially for whm
am a scholar tho
Energy drain, aether flow and lucid
so I drop piety for crit?
if you can preferably without losing item level, then sure
You should pretty much never meld piety materia
Balance has 1200 Piety for their SCH BiS set
Not saying you should aim for exactly what The Balance says, but it's a good reference to go by
again, Piety is treated as a comfort stat and the value of it depends on how bad your party is
heh, BiS, I'm far from that haha
How good is the dropchance for loathsome from critical engagements?
Eeh, not too great
Castrum the way to go here?
You're mostly just doing CE's while waiting for Castrum to spawn
felt around 25% when i was doing engagements
Otherwise you might as well do Crystal Tower raids
Alright. And only one a piece, right?
Clear winner then

interms of time spent , am I better off spammming prateorium for the event tomestones ?
Basically I bought FF14 on my PS4 without dlc I want to know if I get the dlc on PC how would this work I'm assuming no matter what the steam version isn't compatible at all with my account but if I buy the dlc on windows can I have it on ps4 aswell or no?
Hello, I am on free trial and haven’t bought the game. If I buy the game now, does it mean I still need to spend more in nov 2021 for the endwalker expansion?
(Thinking of waiting till nov to just get the new expansion)
Okay, so
Heard expansions are every 2 years or so right
I'm at lv. 80 with avg item level 510 now, what should I be aiming for next?
would need to buy it on ps4 also
Usually summer but 2020 and beyond have obviously had an impact
Ok cool thanks
Endwalker will include stormblood and shadowbringers but you won't get them til Endwalker actually releases
Sooo I should wait till nov and not buy now?
Afaik best time to tome ratio is nidhogg ex from heavensward but that's only if you know the fight, prae is nearly an hour long but it's braindead so you can Netflix and farm easily
Up to you. But if you get through all of hw before November you won't be able to access any of the 61-80 content until november
Even if you buy the base game now it'll only include hw until you buy shadowbringers separately
Am like level 6 seems like going to take forever to hit 60
The day Endwalker comes out you won't be able to buy shadowbringers any more as it'll be wrapped into ew
Oh and jobs from expansions also require the expansion, so even if you meet the level requirements for samurai, red mage, dancer and gunbreaker you can't play them without shadowrbingers
@warm snow thanks
Ahh
😄
realised buying separately the starter edition ($20) + shadowbringers ($40) = same price as buying complete edition ($60). guess i can get starter edition first and EW later if i think i wun clear the game so far
EW pack shd have stormblood in it too?
It does
Are you doing savage content?
But again, you won't get them til Endwalker releases
I'm starting it, yeah
I also gotta unlock Eden
You want 520 as your minimum going in now
Between tome gear, nier and augmented exarchic it's an easy threshold to hit
Then your next objective is to upgrade the gear with allegory as you unlock the tier
can u use gyr abania on viera ?
How do I get 520
Can I use region on race?
i meant hairstyle
There's an npc in eulmore that you can upgrade your exarchic gear
The 3rd nier raid drops 520 gear and you can get one piece per week
The weekly limited tomes(revelations) can be used to buy 520 gear
Copied from pins
How to upgrade Exarchic Gear
NPC: Hillicen, Eulmore (X:10.8 Y:10.7)
Rain Exchange: Purchase Crystalline Rain using Allegory. The amount of Crystalline Rain required depends on the gear you want to upgrade (see below).
Earn Eulmoran Certificates of Grandeur (HQ): Trade in your Exarchic gear for Certificates of Grandeur. When trading in HQ, you will receive exactly enough certificates for the Augmented version. Don't forget to retrieve materia!
Purchase Augmented Exarchic Equipment: Trade Certificates of Grandeur and Crystalline Rain for Augmented Exarchic gear.
Rain cost: Weapon: 7, Head/Hands/Feet: 3, Chest/Legs: 5, Belt/Accessory: 2, (PLD Sword: 4. PLD Shield: 3)
Once you finish getting that gear up, you’ll also want to get a diamond Zeta weapon from Diamond Weapon EX
Yeah those are 525 and the best weapons you can get til 5.55 that aren't from savage raids
So yeah you've a ways to go
Once you’ve done all that then it’s expert roulette for revelation and Nier coins to get the BiS 530 gear while you prog savage in PF or in a static
Weird question- what job has the most oGCD buttons? How much?
GNB has a lot
Question, if I buy Shadowbringers right now will I also get the previous expansions?
Yes
I'll count my GNB oGCDs then, thanks.
Cool thanks!
If you’re on the free trail you do need to buy the base game as well
I do have the base game but I made a free trial account since I wanted to try the game again.
does anyone know if you can preorder using paypal with a guest account?
Depends on your account
Steam or squenix?
squenix
Is it allowed to advertise an item for trade in locall chat of a city if not spamming? I don't see much of it but want to avoid a price war currently happening by selling direct
Yes, if its not rmt but most people will probably ignore you
It's not really a thing people do
OK ty.
why don't I have access to tier 8 materia on the marketboard?
What is a retainer?
A retainer is a private NPC that will act as a personal bank for the player, holding up to 175 different items, that can be summoned to any of the Summoning Bells around the world. Retainers also act as your means to sell on the Market Board.
How to unlock a retainer
First, you must complete the quest The Scions of the Seventh Dawn then go to speak to any of the Retainer Vocates located in the market district of any of the major cities.
What are Retainer Ventures?
Ventures are the means to send out your retainers on missions to bring back items for you and can be unlocked by completing the quest 'An Ill-conceived Venture' (Ul’Dahn), (Gridania), (Limsa Lominsa)
Yeah I know but I think there's a bot on my item. Undercuts by 1 within a minute and never offline 😫
Probably a bot yeah
Did you typo the materia number?
Hi, I have been playing tank as my first job (lvl 50), I still get lost in dungeons (like the manor). Would you guys suggest I switch to dps to get my footing or stick to tank?
ahh nvm, I clicked the materia tab on the board and it's there
so i bought endwalker 2 days ago on steam and the mog station still don't says i own it. is that normal?
are pixie beast tribes a good way to level up from 70-80?
Up to you, dungeons past arr are pretty linear
Manage > CD keys enter preorder key on mogstation
yes but dont heavily rely on it
You have to enter keys for steam purchases
ah ok thanks
You also can't enter the collectors edition key yet
like dont just do pixie only
@lament citrusis it my second best option though after dailies?
Ohh sweet, good to know, thanks!
i did my dailies so idk what i should do next
yes
and its the 3 quests i see here
assuming u done WT
talking to uin nee?
Highest level dungeon your job can access
its daily 3 quests
so dailies > dungeons?
if u rank up with pixie u get bouns 3 after rank up quest
^
Especially beast rribes
ok ok
So just get them done for a quick exp injection
what does WT mean
I have no idea
wonderous tails
Half a level for whatever job turns in the full book
its in idyllshire
u can once u get book
yea i got one yesterdya
u get book from her and then do whatever u have in it (9 duties in total)
if u have it then open ur key items inventory
i see i see
so typically its roulette -> woundrous tails -> pixie beast tribes -> dungeons?
would that be effective
yes
great ty ❤️
if u want effective way to use WT sumbit it on last day (which is today monday)
Is this what I want to do with the RDM weapon?
Makes sense to me, but I wanna make sure
For lvl 60 (on trial poetics are the way for gear right?)
Okay cool
What mats do I need for the first phase of resistance weapon
The one that requires tomes
Eh
I'll look it up
any poetic shop but stormblood area
As scholar, is there an effective way to use my fairy or does she just do her own thing?
its 2 skills til lv76
Yup, got WD and the healbuff/magicres one
Yeah WD uses the fairy, and more after lvl 50
Aetherflow is not related to the fairy
WD is regen FI is magic mitigation plus healing buff
Hell you’ll get a skill to eat your fairy for more aetherflow later
then lv76 FB is AoE heal
out of 2 years playing SCH i only used it once
I used it a lot in DR
its extreme emergency skill for healing
But I don’t play much SCH

u use it if ur healing is too low basically
are both blm and rdm reliant on double weaving
rather would minimize that with my ping
blm is not a job to double weave with
I'm more wondering if there's anything I need to do to manipulate fairy AI or something? She seems to do fine but I'm doing absolutely nothing with her most fights (except wd+fi)
Fit the most part yeah she’ll be fine on her own
before Shbr it used to be better
Every once in a while she’ll be a pain but not so much as to be a common problem
they nerf it to make players who play sch stop having fey to heal while they go full dps (that is what i was told)
At your level, that's pretty much it. She does her basic healing automatically. You might want to make place/heel macros for repositioning her easily, there's neat tricks to be done with the fairy being in a different place than you are. At higher levels, you can "sic" her specifically on one person to focus heal, make her do an AoE heal, eat her for a full Aetherflow stack, or transform her into a bigger, stronger fairy.
if nothing eats your fairy for more energy drains
i dont really use too much mp thats y i just use it once cuz i did lv80 dungeon and i was barely at entry iL
In savage, you're pretty much expected to arrange your fairy ogcds around dissipation cooldown.
i dont play savage cuz im still not ready for it
Fair enough. In dungeons, I usually use dissipation right at the end of the pull so by the time we get to the next pack, fairy's usually back, and it's more free energy drains
Ye
can we start off with 20% echo for lvl 80 content?
no
Wait for Endwalker if you wanna get that.
Is there any way to use the "Reply Temporarily" command that doesn't involve a literal hotkey?
Been searching around the web but decided to give this place a shot: tl;dr getting a black screen on MacBook Pro 2020 (Big Sur) after I press play from launcher...cursor turns into an in game one but that’s it, needs to force quit just to get rid of the screen. I’ve already tried going into the configuration files but that didn’t help (I know that this isn’t the best way to play, but I’ve seen that it’s possible so just want to give it a shot before committing to a whole pc)
Any advice?
Is there a way to cycle through hotbar with mouse scroller?
i think if you just put /r message in the chat it's the same functionality?
Oh, that would do it. Thanks.
like putting just "/a" in chat will switch you to alliance, but putting "/a hi alliance b" will only send that message in alliance without switching the channels or whatever
I wasn't sure if it would actually reply to whatever person I last spoke to or if that requires me to type out the entire name@world string every time too
Do dancer's AoE GCDs seriously not count as dance steps? That seems like an obvious oversight, why would it work that way?
not with ingame options, maybe if you use some external mouse software and set up a profile that puts different keys on the scroll, and then bind those in the keybind menu
like.. why don't the aoe gcds change during steps like the ST ones? 
i've heard that brought up with the same phrasing before but i don't get what it means maybe i'm overthinking it
Try to remove the game and reinstall it, maybe there are corrupt files
Yes so instead of having swap back to your single target actions to do a dance while aoeing you can just keep doing it with the aoe ones. You're overthinking it
i guess it's a controller issue
Wait so your aoe skills do change?
It would definitely be really nice on controller that is true
I wish
@fickle zephyr
The game does support MacOS Big Sur, so maybe reinstallation does the trick. It is still in verficiation though.
https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/news/detail/927b8af1a043b0491ce85df54cb73db3ebc0c272
Hopefully they will fix it in endwalker cause I dont see anything wrong with it working that way balance wise
yeah i just never really felt like that would change anything, my aoe gcds are already on a shitty ctrl hotbar so doing steps with 1 2 alt1 alt2 is easier anyways
rip controller gamers
I whant to ask something before i get into the game.
Dose the game has a box price.
Dose the game have subscription.
Are expansions free or not.
yes, yes, not free
How much is the sub fee?
!faq subprice
Worth noting that the free trial does have the first expansion included for free soo technically one is free
and old expansions in general are included for free when you purchase the latest one
So i juat buy the game+ a sub and the expansion if it comes out
Last thing whats the overall coust sub + box price
Also there's a free trial that costs nothing that covers a lot of content. It lets you play up to level 60 and to the end of the first expansion. But has a some restrictions.
base game is like $20
and yeah free trial is all of base game with some social limitations
so start with the free trial, play up to 60, then consider buying the complete edition if you want to go into level 60+ expansions
Well ill be honest i am a weeb the game looked good over all way better then wow currently
So i was just serching a bit about the game
Btw why is the 180 days sub less then thr 30 days sub
it's charged all at once, so you buy more for cheaper
it's 12.99 x 6 for 180 days all at once
though for a big majority of players, entry sub is enough and it's the cheapest and you can pay it month by month
you can level all classes and jobs on one character, so the limit of 1 character per server doesn't affect most players
Paying 6 months in one go can be easier too.

You don't need to worry about subs for 6 months.
But extra retainers and premium companion also go for 6 months then and that can become costly.
True, but you also need to buy expansions and such. The game itself is not free when you subscribe
I heard the game is about quality over quantity
yeah just keep in mind that everything included in the "box" is available in the free trial
after you buy it, you'll have to start paying the sub
even when playing the content that's free
Oh btw dose the game have some sorta of token ( like wow) that i can use for in game time
No
nope
:/
real world money can't affect the ingame economy so it's kind of a plus
I dont have to wake up at 9 am then for good farming spots xD
Making gil in this game is pretty ez if youre willing to level the crafting amd gathering jobs
You underestimate the rwt bots. But yeah you can get a lot of gil without much to spend it on if you aren't doing cutting edge raiding or crafting
Farm mogtomes
Make mils
Welp that covers it 50$ for something like idk 500h of gameplay is a good deal
big sur is the new macbook architecture right? to the dude asking the limitation is the fact that macs are no longer x86 instruction set machines so the whole thing has to be recompiled
for like photoshop this might not be so bad but an mmo is complicated
Which keybind corresponds to Dismount? Can't seem to find it 😦
mount and dismount are the same key
or rather using any mount while mounted should dismount you
I used to be able to hop off my chocobo with Z, but I accidentally removed it
And am not sure where to re-set it
It’s weird I’ve done everything to remove it, but once I’ve got the installer back it’s as if the download is still there - I’ve checked everywhere but can’t find anywhere to “clean” it
In my keybinds menu I can find a Mount Guide setting, but surely that's not it
I don't see a Mount setting
Aha, that's the one. No wonder I couldn't find it
that's what makes you dismount afaik
Diamond ex
so I play on PC and PS5, I want to buy the collector's edition. do I get anything by buying collector's edition on both PC and PS5 or should I buy only the collectior's edition on PC and the normal one on PS5?
what's the bot command for memories of dying?
Memoryfates
ty
the items are accountwide from purchase of one collector's edition, so get one collectors and one normal
Best to check the web to see if ff14 supports Big Sur, it is known it had problems.
You can also try to bootcamp windows 10 and run ff14 via bootcamp. (Linux works too, via wine.)
tyvm
big sur is ARM not x86 it might not work even if you bootcamp windows
how do you tank-swap? does one turn their stance off or something?
