not sure if this is the place for that, but that "lahee" song performed by soken during the last fest is a real ffxiv song or just something for this event ?
Asking for a friend, she did the initial chocobo quest but her mount is grayed out
It's the background song for one of the shadowbringers zones
thank you! :D
thanks guys I'll search it, didn't reach SB yet
You can't summon it in cities
It'd called Civilization
Did she use the whistle
She did
Not in combat/occupied?
No
also when do the d ungeons like increase in difficulty? im enjoying the gamebut the dungeons are quite lackluster. im around the believe in your sylph main quest
All dungeons are simple as they're designed for anyone to complete then. Difficulty is in the high end raids
so is combat just boring before endgame raids?
which book let’s me make crafted byakko for lancer
The mechanics slowly get more interesting but at the end of the day dungeons are "don't stand in bad stupid"
okie dokie, thanks for the info, ill just play the hell out of this free trial
When you reach rank 15 in frontline can you still lose points after that?
Once u max?

Ugh😩
Not that mettle is hard to farm
it took forever to get to 15
The new zone will probably give more mettle
And duels give alot of mettle if you're actually prepared for it
Why do i see chairs next to peoples names? i know the sprout means new but i cant tell what a chair is supposed to mean
Afk
Ohhhhhh ok
i thought it was like they are willing to sit down and explain things or sumn im fucking dead
@faint flare
If she can't open the mount guide she hasn't used the whistle
Still able to open the mount guide
In cities
Which, they can't cause no mounts are registered
Use the chocobo issueance that's in her inventory, once she does, she unlocks mounts in total including her chocobo
Thus they haven't used the whistle
You have to go to inventory and click on the whistle. If it doesn't say "you can now summon the chocobo mount"
Then it isn't available
Letting her know now
hi guys i have the level 6 crafter tomes but i don’t see the crafted weapons
It's called a Flame/Serpent/Storm Chocobo Issuance, and it's a scroll, not a whistle.
am i tripping ?
The issuance is the turn in item for the quest
which weapons are you looking for exactly
You also need soul of the carpenter (specialization)
don't need the soul to see them
shinryu and byakko
and which crafter are you looking under?
for the drg i’m under carpenter
are you absolutely certain you have 6?
Do a search in the crafting log for 'Shinryu'
6 is blue right
If it doesn't show up there, check to see if you've used the book in your inventory
If the book is not in your inventory, try repurchasing the book, it won't let you if you already have it or used it.
is this a fact ?
Yes.
Ok she forgot to use the whistle. All is good. TY
Shinryu and Byakko weapons are under lv70 receipes in master receipes
Master Recipes 6.
would it be under master recipes (6) ?
Yes
Can I run Syrcus Tower Unsync'd?
Yes, need 1 person minimum for each alliance
so how many people do I need in my party to succeed if I use PF?
1 in Alliance A
1 in Alliance B
1 in Alliance C
With 80s i5 should be easily do with 3, cause there's no mechanic that needs multiple people
Thanks - is there a bonus for this for first time so I can entice some 80s?
If you're not one of the three 80s, you're honestly better off not doing so.
so just use duty finder then I guess?
Yes
Can u all help me. I cant find the options to have skills annoyingly pop up their skill name when i press them
there's no reason to use pf for ST
24mans are casual content
ok thanks 🙂
While you're free to do whatever you like, and I can't and won't stop you, there is a bit of a dislike in the community for players who use unsynched to get carried through content they can easily do themselves synched.
its under action help in character configuration
But yeah Syrus Tower is really easy content, just queue is fine
Ty
...you have hats turned off
you turned off helmet display
can see it from here
Hi, new player just got the free trial, after like 2h of gameplay i saw i was in the wrong intended World, is there any way I can migrate a character from one world to another, whithin the same data center?
I tried looking up on the official site, but i only found world transfer from one data center to another
For additional context, im in Couerl and would like to move my character to Brynhildr

Without paying? Nope
But if its only 2 hours of gameplay I'd just make a new character
Home world transfers works for any world. It can be in the same datacenter if you want, but it's not free.
But yea, for only 2 hours I would also recommend just making a new character
Same thing
They still have to pay
There is free world visit, but has some limitations
guess ill just remake the char
im on the free trial and just hit 300k at lvl 50... any recommendations on how to best utilize the money?
tbh there's really not a whole lot you need to spend gil on
Someone looked at me but wasn't targeting me, how do I do that? Is it an emote?
whats the connection between nier raids and the nier game?
Loose
It's just targetting. Your character will look at what you're targetting
can i use it to power level crafting skills, or better to just gather anyways?
Any black mages around?
Several
Not on the free trial. Power leveling crafters with gil usually involves buying mats from the market board or levelkits from other players.
without retainers or access to the market board you won't really be able to buy materials other than the basic ones sold by npc vendors
So I'm new to the realm and just wondering about skills ill use regularly. Once I obtain fire III, does that replace fire I?
i see, so ill just ignore that im capped on gil then i guess
No
Fire 3’s main purpose is to swap from ice to fire
Fire 3 gets used when it procs off fire 1, and to switch to fire mode from ice mode
how do i get black mage?
Level up thaumaturge
where do u become a thaumaturge
Uldah
any requirments?
No
so fire 3 will swap from ice to fire?
ty
guess ill have to play around with it
Yes
And vice versa
other than the ability to change jobs in the first palce, no
trying to manage my quickbar lol
Don't get too used to your hotbar setup
is thunder 1 used once thunder 2 is aquired?
yes
Thunder 2 is aoe
Blm changes pretty significantly every 10 levels or so
black mage numbered skills aren't upgrades
so fire 1, fire 2, fire 3 and fire 4 are all different spells with different uses
what best way to farm bitter memories?
aaahh what about scathe.. does anyone really use scathe?
Alright sorry for the question, is there any like way to know when a world is gona start accepting new characters? Trying to get to brynhildr to play with friends but it says its full and not accepting new chars atm
check the server status
Wait until off peak hours
Late at night/early morning
Usually late at night
Off peak hours
acceptance of new characters is based on current server population, which is why people are suggesting off-peak hours
ok ok and i just started blackmage quests.. yet im 35 and the 35 quest wont start for me?
what best way to farm bitter memories?
did you remember to re-equip your jobstone
antitower
@modest igloo How can i do that
Open your equipment window, check the bottom-right slot, under rings and such
Nevermind
Just run Antitower. I think doing a Bozjan cluster farm party might be faster, but its a pain to set up and not have people constantly leave those.
figured it out
does it work for ya now?
aye thank you
any requirement to get a class journey? for example do you have the finish heavensward etc.
@modest iglooWhy's that?
Do skybuilder/ishgardian restoration turn-ins count towards number of collectables crafted?
technically different classes so they save differently in the system
yes
What do you mean? If you're referring to class quests, yes you need to finish expansions before going onto the job quests released by the next one.
none that you haven't already gotten
As this is me first character, is that necessary at the moment, or is that ususally saved once multiple jobs come into play?
my*}
i mean the thing you can buy at mogstation which makes u lvl 70 instantly
if you have a gear set for THM you want to save over it as BLM
the job skips don't require you to meet any requirement beyond owning the correct expansion
moreso later when you have multiple, but its a good habit to have now
@modest igloo Awesome, thank you!
i have my most played jobs on the side that i switch to at any time. 1 press and done
what order did the ultimates come out
is there anything u can farm like boar leather that can bring in lots of gil?
look on the MB
@modest igloo Oh gnarly. Is that a hotbar settup?
Yes
its my 5th hotbar thats shared so all classes have it
@modest iglooim not good at looking for how stuff sells or what is profitable
You kinda did
look for what sells at a decent amount of gil and farm it
i did not i found the boar leather thing on yt and thats from like 9 months ago
i do maps once a day and its enough for me to get by
if its farmable chances are it wont bring in lots of gil
Surprise. Markets change and old guides aren't useful
market research is important if you wanna make gil
Who would have guessed
You need to see what you can farm then compare it's current prices
Man all I need now is to start looking cool
There's no be all answee
Even recent guides don't always apply to your server's economy.
vin please dont answer my questions if you're gonna be sarcastic and disrespectful for no reason
thanx
they're not
he's not
it's basic common sense that if there's a yt video saying 'omg easy gil from farming this 1mil gil an hour' shite, then even if it ever was worth anything it isn't going to be now
im talking before he typed what he just typed
It's called basic common sense
this fucking game has server hops how tf am i supposed to know what each market goes up or down in prices
By looking
what on earth do you think anyone else does?
We all do it
i mean i dont but i dont make a lot of gil
We all check the market board when we're selling stuff for prices
when does the story of the main campaign end?
80
not everyone has been playing for years to know right away how to look for whats selling on the mb and whats not
5.5 msq
msq?
how do people get this look?
the answer to "how do i get lots of gil" is: finding a niche item, crafting, learning patch cycles, or if you have no doh/dol then do the rng methods like treasure maps and pray
main story quests
Its a drop from the first nier raid @arctic steeple
Copied factory drops it, lv80 nier raid
copied factory raid drops coffers that have the 2b glamour set
im gonna end this convo peace out
awwww i see
is it still possible to get such looks?
Yes
It's permanent content
ooh ok
quite easily because they're A. unique-owned and B. not sellable
thanks for the quick reponse
so people generally only need 1 ever
And 2 drop per party
3, ain't it?
They changed it
ah. ok
It's in each of the parties chest
2 for each party now
Instead of the shared end one
Didn't they also make the rare minion a guaranteed drop for the first 2
Yes
I need to go back and do PB then
Need that 2B
Yeah, the black pod and 2b are guaranteed
man i need an nvidia card so bad.. this pixel flicker is horrible with amd
Hello there can I know if there anyone from USA loves Butterfingers products and want me to send for him 2 backgs of butter bars?!
not the channel to be asking for that
Which one then please
I bought a level boost for warrior but I don’t see it in delivery moogle
How long I have to wait for it?
it varies
...
moogle mail system may still be somewhat overloaded due to endwalker preorders
#😩
Thinking about re-rolling to PS5 from PC. How do I link my Mog account to my PS5 account ?
Buy the game on console and log in with your account
Just unlocked Phoenix-Egi, not entirely sure what it.. does?
Enkindle Bahamut doesn't seem to work though, makes sense considering its not Bahamut
Oh, it's that easy, nice! Thanks Vinyl Tails !

What should i bring to delubrum reginae?
Oh, I see Ruin III combos into Outburst while in Phoenix Trance.
Dps essences and actions
please bring dps essences
well to be right, those actions cease to be those and simply become FoF/BoP
Due to how mechanics work in DR, defensive essences are useless in there
dps essences?
Yes
What is that?
Like skirmisher, Martialist, Profone/aetherweavee
Essences that increase your damage
Skirmisher for DPS, Aetherweaver for healer, Martialist for Tanks
In your cache
Ohh, wait, no I get it. Most of the Phoenix abilities don't unlock until level 80. That's why I was missing so much.
At the bottom
Just having unlocked it, all it does is change Ruin III and Outburst
essences are basically pots
Those pots at the bottom that say "Essence of X"
Defensive Essences in DR are useless, Since getting hit by stuff gives you a stacking debuff that dooms you.
that's basically all it does. you enkindle to make it use the big attack, then you have that new 1-2 combo while phoenix is out
hey, what is best for crafting : melded 490 or i500 white scrip gear ?
only meaningful difference at 80 is bahamut rules apply - can't use egi actions while phoenix is out
Overmelded 490
pentamelded crafted
ok thx
how do u get ultima horns?
doing a world boss fate
whats a world boss fate?
a world boss
Fates that only spawn like every 36 hours
Special fates with a long respawn and don't show on the map
So where does the ultima horn mob spawn so i can do it for the horns?
Can i get there ? im only at heavensward
It's the final heavensward area
it's the last hw area
pretty sure you need to fly to the area it's in anyway
we get a free race change later on the game right?
i cant fly there
Yes
https://ffxiv.ariyala.com/1EA4A
is that melding ok or anybody has something better ?
How do fresh level 80s jump into a dailies and not be useless? I don't know most dungeons that well. I've been feeling pretty anxious about this so I don't do them.
You get a fantasia at the end of 2.0 quests @terse kindle
just dont stand in aoes @dawn glen
does that let me change race?
you cant fly there without having all the aether thingys right?
if you're REALLY worried about it hit a dummy to learn your rotation and watch a video of the dungeon you do
is Shiva a german realm???
Unofficially
its the unofficial german world
not without paying
You can world visit to another
Full proper transfers are paid
It doesn't really matter in the end
Everything is cross server
i want a guild but i only see germans applying on the recruitment here
how much does it cost?
18$
JEESUS
There's still English ones out there
Well you are paying to move ALL of your singular character data to a different server
what about lich?
$18 is a lot?
i have a lvl 7 character there
blizzard charges like, $40 for server and faction change
Lich is fine, nothing special
i mean 18$ would give me 1 month of playtime
If you're lv7, then its not worth to pay $18 to move servers
yeah but it's not a service you're going to use more than once, maaaaybe twice if you're unlucky
no
im level 26
i know its not a lot
but the german thing kind of turned me off ngl
how about lich?
.
Shiva is unofficially German, moogle is unofficially French
And that's it for Eu stuff
Honestly even lvl 26.... that's pretty fast to catch back up
All other servers are standard, run of the mill
so im fine on lich?
Im level 51 now
what command mission or dungeon should I do on my machinist for max exp?
dusk vigil
Dusk vigil
again, highest non-cap lvl dungeon
kind of a dumb question, but what are the lvl 80 giant mob-bosses for? i saw a giant mob of ppl come fly in and kill a lvl 80 cactus guy
hunts
Tomes, hunt currency
they give tomes and nuts for 520/530 gear
Upgrade items*
ah and i assume they're just drops and not quest rewards?
Yes
ah ok, ty
Its an optional dungeon
Not every dungeon is in them
Its required to do it for aether current
Okay so random question about the Chocorpokkur mount; does anyone know if you can send in a screenshot of a digital receipt or does it have to be physical?
they accept digital
Theres no option for dusk vigil
should I do wanderes palace instead then?
no
No
que for dusk vigil in DF
Giant waste of time for nothing
oh gotcha thx, i was gonna just order a bag off amazon but idk if that has a upc code so maybe i'll actually go to the store then lol
Im mainly doing squadrons for the emote
Levleing up my machanist is a bonus tbh, so i was hoping for alterantives for faster clears
Japanese servers have the cheapest market board costs, right?
In terms of cost its EU > NA > JP?
especially for food / pots?
If I cant que for vigil and just want fast 10 clears
cause the competition is stupid
what dungeon should I que for to finish rapidly? And should I use a level 80 characther with 520 gear
you sync down in squads so its not much of a help
Should I que as tank if it might make things faster?
there's not reason to move to a server thats got cheaper stuff since it costs $$
I do have a paladin
its for 6.1 when we have cross data center
not unless your healer is specced for defense
no
No
ah, we aren't sure if you can buy in cross dc
If I make a new character on another server will I get the
preorder earing mailed to me again?
Yes
Yes
awesome ty
i didn;t have much luck with them but you can try, healer was fastest for me
Which dungeon did you spam?
halatali was the best for me but i did Aurum vale for the xp
hatalia hard or normal?
normal

Anyone know a good backless dress you can buy on the market?
If I have the complete edition of ff14 do I still gotta buy endwalker
yes
xp boosting ring and a minion
What's it. 30?
40$
Endwalker? idk what it is in dollars
Ouch. Alright...
Isn't it $25?
Well. It's still awhile away ig
hey guys quick q im pretty new: as a black mage, when getting together the augmented shire set, should I get the philosopher's accessories or the preceptor's?
On PS4, if I buy the license belonging to a different country (but apparently the same region according to Mogstation), is it possible to link that to my account?
I still want to play like
2. 3 games
is there any other use for the fragments you get from the Foxy Lady FATE aside of buying the 3 items from Rhalgrs Reach?
The set with the top hat, which is philosopher(?)
in the free trial if I hit lvl 60 and keep playing would I lvl up with exp I gained while lvl 60 once I buy the game?
or does the excess exp go to waste
no, excess exp goes to waste
ouch
im assuming if i already bought a preceptor piece im just stuck w it?
my bags are full to bursting with cooking ingredients, should I go join the school of culinary arts to clean them out or what?
I'm barely about to hit titan and am 10 lvls away from 60 so wanted to see what would happen. ty. guess ik buying it soon
i would strongly recommend leveling up an alt job to soak up exp
if you're just getting to titan...
what alt job should I do then if ya have reccomendations. I'm currently a summoner.
doesn't matter, whatever is interesting you
hmm probably archer or dragoon then
just anything lol since you're really overleveled
For the next expansion
You can give it to your GC at 2nd Sargent rank if you’re honestly not gonna level a healer
if you've consistently been doing your roulettes along side msq/job quests, its very easy to be overleveled on a preferred server
ah job quests then as I havbt touched the roulettes since I started roughly a week back
is there a way to get a notification when a preferred server is open for new characters?
no
what's a preferred server?
a server that gives exp boost
Servers with double xp buff
oh some don't?
no
They give you the ring like right away too.

how do I move this ugly THM GUI graphic from my screen lol. it's so large
It's your job gauge

You can change it to simple mod by clicking the cog after selecting it
make it smaller or move it so it’s not covering anything but please don’t disable it
Don't think you even can

Foir the uznair challenge does the blue aura of the exist must be visible or just a photo inside the last room ?
is this for me?
Yes
I'm not seeing an option for Paypal. 🤔
Buy crysta with PayPal
That makes sense, considering 1¥ is 1 cent.
Speaking of lv. 70 maps, are they doable with only 2 players? My bf and I have been running the lv. 60 maps with just each other as GNB and SCH and am wondering if we will be able to use the same comp for the next level of maps
So I can buy crysta with paypal and use that to pay for the subscription to the game?
Yes
all mounts are always the same speed as each other on land, right?
Yes
nice
At the end of the day
thanks
That sounds cool, but I am slightly worried about spending all my money on crysta. lol
Well guess nothing to do but give it a go and see how it works
is there a way to mark the map?
there's a single exception, the motorbike mount on the mogstation
How come the weekly reset is on Tuesday anyone knows ?
there's a thing called "map link"
it's lb + rb on controller, don't know what it is on kbm
Do I have to worry about buying too much crysta or is there a safeguard to prevent you from spending too much.
yeah i'm mouse and keyboard
There's different options
ctrl right click
I'll put in this much.
how do i disable this?
Never mind, there's a limit to 10000. 🤔
Wait I put in the wrong number.
I just paid for crysta.

So if I finish floor 50 of potd on one class, when i go to lvl another do i have to start from floor 1 again?
so how do i queue for specific floors? (ie 50 one which people say for exp)
can anyone bring up the "what do with tomes" kupo bot thing
so if I kill the floor 50 boss I can just queue up to do 51-60 anytime i want?
Yes
How long does it take for purchased Crysta to show up in your account balance?
!faq poetics
This?
yeah this, ty
I thought I just paid for some, but it's not showing up.
Well PayPal probably slow doing it...I do it via card and it's instant so
Yeah, I guess that makes sense. 🤔
I just like using Paypal since it makes things easier. 😅
@leaden ginkgo didnt work 😦
i seen catbois with black ears and white hair how?
theyre probably using the fox ears hat
there are also some hairstyle that have black tips
like the first 4 or so I think? for racial hairs have black tips
Hey, I am about to Phantasia to a Miqo'te male from a Hyur male, will I run into any problems regarding glam?
unless youre wearing anything male specific, no
Ill be the same gender
sorry, meant race specific
with the only exception of hrothgar and viera, every clothing piece works on every race
I kinda have a weird question: SO back then I played Final fantasy and made a square enix account and played it through Steam BUT I deleted my square enix account (I know, Dumb). I bought the expansions through steam and now I would like to return but I have to make a new Square enix account, WILL I still be able to transfer the bought expansions to the new square enix account through steam?
Hrothgar and viera don't get the vast majority of hay pirces
Contact SE support.
do your job quests
you'll get gear to help you hit the item level needed from the coffer in the level 50 quest
what if I buy something on the market board
wait
actually no no fuck doing the job quest, im 50, i wanna be a red mage, what do i do
Stormblood Expansion Jobs: Red Mage (Caster DPS) and Samurai (Melee DPS). These jobs start at level 50 and require ownership of the Stormblood Expansion and a disciple of war or magic job at level 50.
Job Unlock Locations:
Red Mage - Distraught Lass at Ul'dah - Steps of Thal (14,12), quest name is "Taking the Red".
Samurai - Ul'dahn Citizen at Ul'dah - Steps of Nald (9,9), quest name is "The Way of the Samurai".
Red Mage - Distraught Lass at Ul'dah - Steps of Thal (14,12), quest name is "Taking the Red".
damn wtf is a Samurai so cool
A melee dps
You can’t go Red Mage until you beat the dungeon after this one
Is void ark or mhach typically faster
Void ark
neither stormblood nor shadowbringers jobs have msq requirements
damn now im thinking of being a samurai, whats better sam or red
damn now idk
hownstly im a summoner cus im always dps in every game
and summoner honestly is so fkn boring
Could’ve swore someone said you needed to beat 2.0 to use the SB/ShB jobs, my bad
have u been doing the job quests for more skills
Because you don't get its good stuff until later
Until 60 and 70 it's filler
casting takes forever
Where do all of the Chronicles of a New Era and Side Story quests fit into the chronology of New Game+ main chapters?
Samurai technically has cast times but its only for like one skill
Where can I find Keikos face on Lahee fanfest?
its generally agreed that side content takes place in the patch its released in
so u do one patch of msq then move on to the raid
Are the patch numbers displayed when you're browsing New Game + stories? I forget and I'm not online
no
Dont think so
they're displayed by patch title
now im stuck and idk what to cvhoose
4 parts total. .0 is split into 2, with post patches been .1-.3 in first half and .4 and .5 in 2nd
i can't remember exactly when, but check the day 1 vod on the FFXIV twitch channel
Hey, so I was handed a track by someone that's from the game, but I don't recall where. Would anyone be able to identify it?
I have reason to believe it might be mount music but I can't be sure, and it's certainly not from any mount that i own.
What’s the song name?
is there a way to see dps leaders in raaids / dungeons?
Not without third party tools
That's the savage omega theme isnt it
Model O Identification Key
yes its savage omega theme, and its used for the omega mount
From the Heavens is the name, IIRC
Awesome; thank you.
It's from the heavens, but mixed with several other themes.
I love from the heavens but there's far more to this track than that one.
!faq act
Advanced Combat Tracker (ACT) can be used to view and record combat in real time to see player damage, healing, etc. ACT logs can then be uploaded to FFLogs to compare your performance with other players.
Please note this software is technically against the FFXIV Terms of Service and should only be used for personal improvement. Mentioning ACT/Parsing in-game, particularly to harass other players, is likely to result in punishment against your Square Enix account.
That's the dps meter
I cant use red mage soul job, when i put it in it says you must change your class to red mage?
That's a very broad question, and one that's difficult to answer as third-party programs are straight up against the ToS; that said, SE has taken a 'don't ask; don't tell' or more appropriately, 'don';t cause problems for people' stance on third-party applications,.
Plus, if you're not looking to raid, ACT is virtually useless; it's a parsing meter, and little more than that.
Those pre order earrings, are they like road to 70 in that they work with every source of xp including daily bonuses, beast tribes, and bozja skirmishes?
Ah well that's a lot less useful than I was thinking. Thanks.
It's still very good
sadly since I deleted the account that was connected to my steam account I will have to rebuy the entire game but thank you for your help!
It's the only accessible xp boost equipment between 30-70
Guys, are there any other kind of Dungeons besides the Guildhests??
Guildhests aren't dungeons
there are the dungeons
dude redmage is so fucking cool
There's ACTUAL dungeons, 8man trials, 8man raids and 24man raids
And the various difficulties that come with them
question i have veraero 1 and 2 as a redmage, is there a point in using 1? Should i remove from my hotbar and only keep 2?
no, 2 is for aoe
They work different
The 2 is aoe
And short cast
1 is single target, long cast and generates a stone/fire proc
It's important to read tooltips carefully
So, i should keep going thro the game, and eventually ill be able to do dungeons??
Numbers don't mean upgrades
yes
Yes
Everything is unlocked by story so yes
AoE rotation works like the opposite of single target, where you use VerAero 2/VerThunder 2 into Scatter/Impact

Wait wait, Will I still be able to play with my steam friends since I have to buy the windows verison D: ?!
Yes
whew
my white bar is at 100 how do i use it
!faq 50rdm
Is warrior the most simple tank? I boosted one to 70 from level 1 and he seems like he’s pretty simple compared to drk
Yes
Does he get more fun to play at 80?
But all tanks are very simple
will there be another info update for the next expansion
I’m about to boost pally then
Warrior basically stays the same from 70 to 80 in terms of rotation
70-80 doesn't change it much, outside of buffing Infuriate and getting Nascent
Ok I see, I’ll get him to 80 anyways then
We'll get a media tour around September/October where media people get hands on, which will allow us to see jobs in action and tooltips
That's the biggest piece of combat info we'll get
so no viera hat update
Yeah I really want to know if viera are gonna get more hats
🤷♂️
for the old steam product codes for FF, are they just now invalid? Since I deleted my old square account to them?
It's the most basic trial
A very very mild taste
It’s the first trial so yeah
Especially if it's just the four man one
IT WAS!?
there’s like 4 more ifrit fights in this game
An ifrit for every difficulty, one could say
is there a way to change the gender of equipment
nope
gg\
!faq 50bkm
oh man none of my equipment works anymore kekw
!faq blmleveling
@supple grail
i think i got all my equip via quests is there a way to get them again for male equilavelent to cleric robe
or should i just buy stuff from shop til i get more in the story
Normal gear works on all genders
It's only gender specific glamour gear that doesn't
err
Which isn't that many in game
none of the cleric set i got from the quest doesnt let me equip
never did any glamour to it
Right job, right level and everything? Soul stone on?
An item's tooltip will tell you if it's gender exclusive by the presence of ♂️ or ♀️ on the item tooltip
checkin after this cutscene
What's the level 60 alliance raid questline called?
And is that different from Alexander questline?
yeah forgot the soul stone that was it ty vinyl
Is there like a site or chart to keep track of all this?
!faq contentunlock
Thanks
Make sure to save the soul stone in your gear set
kk
Does anyone know if the civilisation orchestrion roll includes LaHEEs?
Yes cause it's part of the song and not layered ontop
How do I continue potd? I can't do floor 31
redo floors to get higher aetherpool
how do i redo floor 20?
use the other save file
clear it if needed
your aetherpool levels are independent of your save file
so if i get some upgrades from 1-10 on 2nd save i can continue my main save?
question for some of the veterans here, was it possible to buy expansions in the past with crysta? its my only method of paying for things in xiv.
if you play steam version you buy it from steam
non-steam
i used crysta to upgrade from a free trial to the complete game but I figure the system's a bit different when it comes to buying an xpac
you should be able to buy off of the square enix website for regular pc version
doesnt use mogstation
nin or mnk has better dps
but would i be able to use crysta to pay for it? SE doesnt like other payment options cuz it doesnt acknowledge my country exists
so i had to use fake address and all that
for me to fly a mount do i have to do the black choccobo quest?
depends where you are in the story, for ARR zones you just have to finish the MSQ. For expansions you need to get all the aether currents in an area (and i think the black chocobo quest is mandatory? i cant remember.)
u know how long aar is?
i suppose if you just beeline the main story quests and one job (while doing its job quests) maybe a full day's worth?
Look at the level of the quests you are completing. If you're doing MSQ quests that are lower than level 50, you're not there yet. You'll start getting a few quests that are level 50 around the obvious 'oh this is getting to the end of this story' parts, leading to a quest 'The Ultimate Weapon.' After that quest, you'll have flying in ARR.
I tried again the ARR, it's significantly faster than the last time
Yeah
thanks appreciate ay
ya
After The Ultimate Weapon, you're going to do six patches worth of story to lead into Heavensward, with one unique trial in MSQ per patch. Once you're done the sixth trial, you'll notice the story is ramping up towards something. Once you see a warning that you're gonna watch a long cutscene, you're at the end, and it's Heavensward right after that.
Question
can you unlock all the level 50 trials right at level 50, without finishing ARR's story?
or do you need to finish ARR's story to unlock all the trials
for ARR, you need to do the story
so if I'm trying to get bitter memories of the dying for my dnc relic do I have to run the dungeons as my dancer or can I just queue it as healer/tank to get them way faster? :v
well i guess to be clear, once you finish the ARR story you then have the post-ARR quests and those unlock the trials
can queue as another job
is that the lvl 60 dungeon step? you can be any job, as long as you have the quest
No. You cannot unlock level 50 battle content without completing level 50 story content. This is how this game works: Stuff is locked behind story and not level. If you grind to level 80 and you haven't done level 50 story, you get no access to level 80 endgame stuff.
Do not grind levels on your first job, and expect to get 'some end game.' This game will nott reward you for it.
oh thank god
just need the quest active
i did it with friends with blue mages lol
and iirc Antitower is the fastest lvl 60 dungeon
so I dont remember if I can run trials cause
To add to what Kael said though--the fastest way to do bitter memories is to aoe grind mobs in Bozja.
With friends also aoe grinding other mobs
and i would run trials with her all the time lol
How do I turn off alliance effects?
You also will need to do Bozja up to Castrum Lacum Lictore in order to start the next step anyways, so there's that.
ty
how do i remove the lock icon near on the hotbar again?
oh wait wot
you can't
Sooner or later, yes.
wait... i thought i hide it nvm
the resistance weapons quests are tied to bozja
one step will require you to finish Castrum
the best you can do is hide the lock behind another hud element
You only need to get to mettle rank 10 there to progress though, but yeah--you cannot avoid Bozja and get your relic completed.
5.55 will add more content to bozja so it should be pretty active then
That said, you can make some good gil working bozja so it's not a waste of your time. And you can grind mobs between CEs, and mob grinding is a good way to get Bitters.
Will 5.55 be i535 relic?
and if you still have jobs that arent lvl 80 the skirmishes give good xp
might just do some bojza then for the bitters instead
Yes
havent touched bojza like aty all
its pretty neat when theres a lot of people but i feel like its been dying down lately at least from what ive seen in my server
again 5.55 should reinvigorate it
Also you can double layer quests and farm the HW fate memories with skirmishes, then bitters with CEs. Also it's good xp, without the xp 6x Antitower is faster and less painful.
It scales to people in it though so that's like... not a major problem
i would not use skirmies and ces to farm that step, aoe grinding mobs for fragments is kinda optimal
Eh, it's okay if you're mostly there for the XP.
Antitower is bad for XP for level 71-80 jobs though.
Antitower is bad xp period since it's a cap dungeon, but it's like 12 minutes to clear and you only have to do it 6 times
so ive never done the mob grind way for memories since im on a JP server and i dont speak JP, do you just party up with people and each take an area and just aoe mobs to death?
Getting CEs to spawn is a pain
looking into what class to play, I've never played before
You can grind bitters in less time chain aoeing the mobs that drop fragments in Bozja solo, than you can doing chain antitower runs. And if you have three people doing it in three spots, it's even faster still. This has been tested, and verified, repeadedly.
I'm looking for something ranged with a big priority on versatility
define versatility
red mage
I recommend Bard/Archer
i cant spell
I hop on a white mage, pop a lost action that gives defense, an aetherweave essence, and pull all the mobs in a given area, aoe them down. Solo. If you're teaming up with someone, you're doing it so they can aoe farm a different location, so you double drop rates.

well magic or physical ranged is fine
oh god the holy spam my eyes
will def give that a shot
Be patient, it's streaky.
I was thinking arcanist/summoner v archer v black mage
idk how people here feel about it but I found this pretty useful when deciding my jobs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k_vH-1WZQ3A
It is a bit meme-y admittedly
:/ CEs have 100% spawn rates if you complete the skirmish tied to them. Getting them to spawn is easy. Wait for its skirmish, do skirmish.
what's the use of magicked prism(indigo star)?
give yourself a pretty hat
they're just little fireworks
I love making decisions based on memes its ok
try them all, i switched my main after beating MSQ so you got time
Black mage is not versatile at all. You sit on your rear and rotate between ice and fire spells. You don't give any buffs to the party, you can't move much, you just stand there and cast.
i guess the most versatile i can think of is red mage just by virtue that they can become a healer (read: resurrecting the actual healers) if things go to shit
blm is plenty able to move 
Not at low levels
You didn't say anything about low levels with that statement
At levels when blm 'can't move' they don't have leylines tying them to one spot either.
By the time you do have leylines, you have swiftcast, aethierial manipulation, thundercloud, and firestarter. You get sharpcast soon after. The only tools remaining at higher levels are triplecast and xenoglossy.
I actually wanna be red mage eventually
but at the beginning something else I'll pick
gonna watch the meme job video
how much of a difference do the stats make in endgame content? i know that mechanics are the top priority
not as much as other mmos
it still helps to get better ilvl
but even with min ilvl you still have a bit of room
for eg, if i have a chest piece with strength 600 and another of 630, does it mean i deal more dmg?
yes
for specific jobs the only stats that make a significant difference would probably be skill speed for optimization and timings, maybe piety for healers
hmm ok
For most jobs (with a few exceptions) your substat distribution doesn't make a huge difference, but you still don't want to 'leave damage on the table' by, say, using a subpar weapon, or by leaving materias unmelded.
the other stats just inflate damage so its only important if youre trying to parse good or whatever
almost all classes prefer main stat over everything else
if its a higher ilvl equip it asap
higher main stat as well as higher vitality
ah thats true
when do i start melding materia?
helps to have a tank that doesnt die in seconds
lvl 80
you really dont have to worry about materia until lvl 80
you can start anytime you want but most effectively at lvl 80
is there a person for that? or do i have to do it myself?
both
nice
npc melders exist in the major cities
you can do it yourself but you need a crafter leveled
If there are exceptions, it's generally in cases where a given substat is really bad for a job, either by making them play worse, or by not actually giving them throughput benefits.
if you have a crafter, you can do it yourself. else you can use and NPC yup
the NPC costs money
its cheap. DW
the you costs...time i suppose to level a crafter
and can i get back the melded materias if i want to use it on another gear?
But at high levels, melding materia is a very meaningful change to damage, anywhere between 5-8% of your total, depending.
materia is pretty cheap these too buy as well
I'm having a odd time right now
since hunts gave them out like candy
you can buy materia? from? mb?
yes
ye
yes
oh wow
combat materias at least
and various other sources
Hey is something going on with square's store
That's one way. You also get a currency called stelliclusters and planiclusters. Stellaclusters give you the top end level 80 materia for most gear, and you can just get these doing stuff you'd do anyways.
roger
nothing ive noticed other than being redirected to the EU store for some reason
granted i didnt try to buy anything i was just browsing
I noticed that as well but I'm trying to buy a time code
is there a quest that i have to do in order to unlock melding?
!faq melding
good video
How do I unlock melding?
Complete Forging the Spirit (materia extract/npc melding) and Waking the Spirit (player melding) in Central Thanalan.
How can I get my gear melded?
To meld visible Materia slots a NPC melder in any major city will do (marked with a Blue Materia icon on the map). To overmeld gear you'll need to request another player to meld your gear or to do it yourself.
Why can't I meld this Materia to my stuff?
Every Tier of Materia has a minimum item level requirement that gear must meet to allow melding of that Tier. Tier 6 Materia requires an item level of 290 while Tiers 7 and 8 require an item level of 420.
Why is my meld giving +0 stats?
Every item has a maximum amount of stats that can be given through melding and the natural stats found on the gear. This can be seen at the bottom of the Materia Melding menu, as seen in the picture below.
The secondary stat with a higher number is already at the cap and cannot be further melded.
the guy at eulmore says i dont have the prior knowledge for it
