Upload your settings to the cloud via character selection backup
Anyone know how to get past this
can i check somewhere where i miss some blue quests in shadowbringers?
!faq contentunlock
nice thanks!
when do you lose the sprout icon?
168 hours of playtime and stormblood completed (Including post patches)
huh, can I check my playtime somewhere?
/ptime in game
/Playtime
You can also disable it manually whenever you log in.
Where are you able to find your Square Enix ID, cause im having trouble logging in
what's the general opinion on level 80 crafter/gatherer gear of asthetes vs white scrip?
Mogstation has a Forgot your ID link
Overmelded aesthete is BiS
^
BiS right now
Scrip gear is always catch up
But with all white scrip you can craft pretty much anything, save for maybe current experts
I would only go for pentameld if you want to go for endgame crafts now. with endwalker and the cap raise there'll be new gear most likely
Ok, next question, how long does that sort of email take to send usually?
the scrip gear is better than non-penta asthetes, right?
yep
I just did it, it arrived instantly
I have been waiting for it for hours ;-;
how expensive is melding for that? im not familiar with the process
can't meld white scrip
Check your spam folder?
Not there sadly
but for aesthetite it can be pretty pricey to pentameld, especially since the 5th meld has only a 10% chance of succeeding
emails can take up to 20 minutes to arrive
Definitely taken longer than that xD
!gil
Are you sure you entered the right email?
it's been 4 minutes since you asked, unless you requested it a while ago
i may just get scrip and go to asthetes if i see i need it, does that make sense?
Yeah, i've checked it many times
Sorry, just wanted to check that I went to the right place to ask for the reset email, or whether you could send multiple. Can't though
Guess im just unlucky? lol I'll just be patient
which stats do you suggest to pick for 515 relic spear? full crit or 50/50 crit/direct hit rate
Follow your meld priority
So that's probably crit > dhit > det
You can change it with poetics
So don't worry too much
good to know, thanks
is there some way to check the age of my account?
It says the join date in the account settings if that is what you mean
That's about the best I can do for you
rip 6d error's crushing me rn
does potd have a daily exp bonus ?
No
New player here lvling up rge was thinking of trying out samurai when 60 but read somewhere that its considered a selfish class to play any thoughts?
Selfish just means it doesn't have any party buffs/utility. It's pure dps.
Samurai has no party buffs
samurai starts at 50
whats currently the highest ilvl for an armor set?
530
530
Gotcha i thought it meant something else. Yeah i plan to get the full game when im getting closer to finishing levling.
thanks you all
It doesn't mean you're selfish for playing it. It's just a descriptor used for the job.
Will be highest level gear til Endwalker
im assuming thats from the eden raids savage right?
and augmented tome gear
And augmented revelations tome gear
ah nice!
And finished relic weapons in a a little over a week
ill have to abandon the nier gears eventually kek
just unlocked dancer. is the first job quest supposed to be super hard?
Not really
It's expecting item level 270+ though
i have stuff equipped but i do no damage
Because your accessories are shit
What level are your accessories and belt?
Go get some
only 147 rn
get some level 60 tomestone accessories
*Southern drawl
Well there's yer problem
should i buy them from the MB?
okay, whata fast way to get poetics is it only through stuff through duty finder?
yes
can't play the game due to error 6d, yet can't make a forum post due to not being able to play the game
ok, thx
What is this limbo
ask in #technology-discussion
man catch 22 there
You can open a support ticket
I am very undecided as to what to do next
I have a lvl61 BRD and finished ARR - I don't know if I should continue doing MSQ stuff or start a second class
whatever you want
flip a coin
going for DNC relic which stats should i prioritize?
dex
Follow your stat priority
crit > dh > det
Crit dh det
alright thank you
^ this is the stat priority for almost every class in the game.
I completely skipped over "relic"
for healers too? or do i prioritize DET over DH when it comes to healers?
Yes
it's preference
Dh is more damage ordinated, det is less damage but slightly more healing
Healer relics can't have dh on then anyway so
oh
thank you guys!
What's the most straightforward / accessible tank class?
I never played tank so I want to learn the role
any
same for healer
all tank clases are viable
Tbh all of them, with gunbreaker being the more complex/active
whm for healer
All tanks are very simple rotation wise
yes
Yes
Drk literally only has 1 combo
Rest is just smack shit on Cooldown
And very very slight mana management which is just "keep 3k mana for Tbn and don't overcap"

how much of the non-tomestone gear is craftable?
All of it...if it's not dungeon/raid drops or tomes (or Hunts) then it's crafted
how do I recognize that?
Blue is Tome/raid....Green is dungeons and some crafted.
White is crafted
gunbreaker does more dps than warrior/paladin right?
What level should I start doing POTD daily? Any point if I'm still getting through Post-Heavensward?
Very slight yes
you dont do potd daily?
Potd is for alt levelling
O ok
blue isn't always tome/raid though. basically if it can be sold on the marketboard, its probably crafted since like less than 1% of the gear that can be sold on it is dungeon gear
The only consistent color assignment is purple for relics
I'm clearing my inventory/armoury chest and I don't know what I can safely sell
cant decide to play redmage or blackmage ๐ฉ
who here played both and which do u prefer lol
I have a bunch of green stuff but I don't even like how it looks
if you dont need it then sell it
Played both. Personally I like RDM better because it has a more dynamic playstyle, opposed to BLM's "turret caster" playstyle.
@fresh wing black mage has a much higher skill ceiling but is more rewarding
red mage has the least movement of the casters but is the easiest
right click it and select try on to see how it looks then?
red mage still does decent dmg right
https://i.imgur.com/pll895x.jpg hey anyone know which fence that is
Riviera Stone Wall I think
ye it is riviera stone wall
ah yes thank you
creating my first character, what are the main differences between picking thaumaturge and arcanist?
Arcanist is the pet/dot job...Thaumaturge is Big booms and the turret caster
thamauturge becomes black mage and arcanist becomes summoner or scholar
Thaumaturge = 
arcanist is the only class that gives you 2 jobs
Are there any resources or sites for chocobo racing and breeding?
What is the usual pug strat for e10s, where you drop the clone at shadowkeeper? (after dualspell)
what's the droprate of timeworn artifact from DR?
DR clear guarantees 1 artifact
if you mean shadowcleave mechanic, its drop shadow max melee in clock spot > do numbers > bait shadow tp south of boss hitbox > run north together with party after shadow tps
and other than the silver coins, what are the rewards?
chance to get hair, mount, orchestrion, barding, and a few housing pieces
dark doesn't get a set of gear at unlock. just chest, pants and weapon and that's it. chest and pants are generic nq lvl 30 gar
thanks that answered my question!
how come it jumps from ilvl 515 to 535?
Hi guys! Looking tondo my anima and need crystal sand. Whats the best way to go about farming them? I've googled but I was afraid they might be outdated.
if you have crafters/gatherers leveled, yellow scrips is best
I dont really have any idea how to go about farming scrips yet
exchange them for blue scrip tokens
Relics are always the best at the end of the expansions
unless there's some crazy ass grind behind
yes
Last steps generally aren't bad
also the custom deliveries
what about the gear?
Aight ill look into it. Havent done them at all
There generally isn't armour connected to relics
Bojza has been special
And in part Eureka with elemental gear
will the armor also have increased ilvl in 5.55?
There will probably be new ones, with proper Save the Queen Bonuses that aren't just haste
grinding for the relic wont weekly capped/locked right?
Relics are basically never have any locks on it
At least without an alternative as well
nice nice
does mantra work on second wind and bloobath?
!action Mantra
Bloodbath no
Second wind I think?
Basically a healing action/spell needs to have a potency on it
i feel like mnk has a bunch of useless skills. like, what is six sided star and form shift even for now that GL isnt a thing?
Any difference between chaos and light if im an european player?
Can anyone help me farm fates for resistance weapons.
Form shift is for downtime, allowing you to open with dragon kick
Six sided star is for short downtime like point blank aoes
six sided stars is monk's disengage like the dragoon backflip. Form shift is only used for down time or opener
6SS is a disconnect 'i will not hit the boss for ~3 GCDs' tool, Form Shift allows you to open with DK
granted, 6ss does win the prize for 'most whelming level 80 skill'
but it's not useless
i bet MNk is gonna get reworked again
poor mnks
I was gonna pick it up but I'll prolly wait till ew
if it might change
Pretty sure the rework they did was a small band-aid for the expansion
ok so what is anatman for if you can just formshift into twin snakes and get the buff anyway?
Anatman can retain your buffs so you don't have to
If you anatman you don't have to.
And immediately stuff with a buffed dragon kick
You always start fights/downtime with dragon kick for leaden fist
Being able to retain twin snakes when possible allows you to have that dragon kick buffed and potentially skip using twin snakes in favour of True strike
Depending on its timer
anatman could at least slowly give chakra like that one channel samurai skill that gives kenki or something
A lot of microoptimization feels underwhelming
oh u right
Anatman did indeed take a hit in usefulness due to the rework, but everyone hated the anatman opener
ironically... anatman sucked more when it had a similar function.
another housing question -- the eastern cherry tree that people are listing on the mb, is from an event? not the mogstation one right?
Yes...which won't come back cause it's on the mogstation
ok
ok ive tried this lvl 52 class quest for RDM like 5 times " a rewarding struggle" i keep getting murdered by the last assassin lol am i supposed to wait to do this quest or something
Which classes can become dark knight, and are there any classes that are race locked?
All and no
mostly my fresh rdm gear from unlocking the class at 50
Then your gear is shit
So i can tank as one of these small thingies?
how can the gap between 50 and 52 be that huge
The starter gear is the BARE MINIMUM to start and should be replaced asap
The 53 dungeon drops 130 gear
So 115 is very low
Yes. You can be anything
A min height lala does the same as a big roegdyn on drk
idk how to replace gear, im still on the main quest line but they are like lvl 40 quests and i just have to take the gil as a reward every time
You're massively behind the story
You're expected to be in heavensward or at least finished ARR
i mean ive ONLY done the story and class quests lol so idk how thats possible
It's not hard to be overlevelled
Story gives alot of xp, especially with dungeons first time clear bonus
More so with preferred server xp buff
i havent even done a dungeon that wasnt necessary to progress story
that might be it i guess, the 100% xp
Yes, that doubles ALL
Xp
Including quest
You can very easily keep 3 jobs up to date with it
Does someone know when the last sale on steam was for shadowbringers?
so i just have to wait to do this class quest until im caught up in story and gear i guess

How do i know which world is congested ?
None have Congested status. It would be in place of Standard or Preferred. The character creation thing is a temporary lock.
well from all DC's none of the worlds are congested
Yep
Thats correcr
What you're seeing is temporary server lock based on current online population
!faq serverlock
Standard, Preferred, and New Servers will dynamically open and close themselves from newly created characters depending on how many players are online. To ensure you're able to make a new character on your server try waiting or doing so at a less active time of day.
Congested Servers will not unlock for new players or transfers until Square Enix removes the Congested Status.
This doesn't affect already created characters, just the creation of new ones
how do i unlock bowl of embers hard?
Do the quest chain "a recurring problem" in the waking sands
It leads to All the hard mode primals
Okay, so what the heck is the Steel Reign FATE?
I figured I was on level for it, no big deal, instantly one shot
world boss
oh
Odin and Behemoth are world bosses. You need rather large groups to take them down but they do have unique rewards.
that explains the 20+ people
i cant find it and im at the correct location, is there a quest chained to it?
Has anyone else tried pre-ordering end walker but gotten no confirmation email ?
Do you guys know of a "Level your alt jobs the fastest way possible" kinda guide by any chance ?
!faq altlvlguide
Thanks !
Hi all, really stupid question I guess. I'm on the trial mode, level 51 black mage. Just unequipped my weapon to try out some alchemy, now I can't seem to re-equip my BLM gear. Any ideas if I've missed something really obvious. Thanks ๐
Equipping the weapon made you a THM. You have to put on your soul crystal too
did you equip your blm weapon and soul stone
It was the soul crystal. Thanks so much. I'm super new to all this :/
For best results, save a gearset so you can re-equip all your stuff with one click
Yeah just did that :p thanks very much.
you can update the gearset in one click too, by clicking the two arrows in a circle
๐
Good expeditions to send a max DoW retainer on? Everything seems awful.
quick exploration
another DNC question, i use devilment right after flourish correct? i saw in a video that said its optimized to use flourishing windmill outside of devilment
the rotation guide says to use it before devilement as well so im guessing thats the way to go 0:
Devilment should line up with Technical Step.
oh yes im talking about using it right after technical
Then yes.
It can also vary slightly on your partner but generally after technical is the go to
OK, problem solved from earlier I go confused with the accounts and never actually made a square enix account, only made the account to buy the game
lol im an idiot
Anyone know if I can make a macro to hide just the Kenki Gauge and Sen Gauge? Or just any class hud stuff
can't disable the job gauges
You can permanently hide them, but you can't turn them on and off without going through the HUD editor.
that's rough
You can turn them on simple mode if you don't like the graphic versions though.
Those take up less space, if that's your concern.
Yeah i already have that on actually lol
best you can do is put them on simple mode and hide them behind other hud elements
I mean i'm new so I need them for sure. Just wish I could hide em when not in combat or with a macro. Oh well. Thx
someones trying to get me to do some recruiment code thing on mogstation
im not selling my soul away am i?
im on the free trial
no, and you can't use a RAF code until you upgrade to full game anyway
ah ok
Could someone tell me e10s pug strat for umbral orbs? I want to clarify if it is clockwise priority, east light party taking 1st appropriate set starting from east instead of north
I have a question--is this so you only see them in battle?
Never mind you answered that. In the HUD options you can change when each element shows up. If you go down the list to the Sen Guage and Kenki Guages, you can click the thing just above that dropdown and set it to Battle, and that will make it visible only in battle
Whatโs the most popular server in North America
Thus no need for a macro (your opener isn't a time to be dicking about with hud macros anyways)
basically equal
minfilia isnt even at waking sands for a recurring problem she is at rising stone with a good intentions quest
Thanks!
Oh right, DC
But not by a lot.
It doesn't honestly matter, Aether's generally well populated all around
Time bubbles... Npcs for quests are always there
server
!quest A Recurring problem
Minfilia has need of your talents for a reemerging primal problem.
Minfilia
The Waking Sands (X: 6.91 Y: 6.14)
Urianger
The Waking Sands (X: 6.06 Y: 4.99)
The Ultimate Weapon
Ifrit Bleeds, We Can Kill It
yeah she isnt at the waking sands at her office idk
you may have already done the prerequisite quest
Look at the thing above with the coordinates
And check your journal to see if you have done it already
this is literally not a thing
Well, kinda, it is, hang on
There's a way to do what they want
When can we expect the benchmark for Endwalker ?
See these buttons? 1, 2, 3, 4? You can set your battle set up to, say, button 2, and your out of combat set up to button 1.
you cannot disable the job gauges
Then the command to switch is /hudlayout 1 /hudlayout 3
those are for different hud layouts. You literally have n o options to turn off the gauges
Probably around like September
Okay fair, but you CAN minimize their size and stick them in the boonies.
which was already said
ohh i can buy with gil now
but you implied it was possible to make them appear at specific times, i.e in battle
when its not
No fair enough, I admit I was wrong about that, but yeah, they can just use /hudlayout x to switch between layouts based on need, and in one layout, have them in the corner, and the other have it where they need it.
is Edenmorn (e9s-e12s) and augmented cryptlurker generally the same? is BiS considered prioritized for one set?
Different substats
Different stat layouts, which has some value.
You mix both sets for stats you want
hmm i see, ok ty
of course... i cant present myself for juding can i...
i wasted all this time for nothing...
It's Tuesday
friday is when judging starts
i mean i thought i had until next friday from the previous challenge
Iโm making my first character. Does the deity matter?

The only thing that matters even slightly is your job choice, since that's the class you'll be locked to for your first 10 levels. After that, you can swap jobs freely.
Ohhhhh you can change it whenever you want???
Yep. All you have to do is unlock the job you want to play.
Literally, there's a SWOOSH and boom, you're the new job. And switching back is just as instant.
Omg love that. So I wonโt need to make a bijjilion characters.
the job you're doing is dependant on what weapon you're holding
nope, single character is all it takes, love that about this game
@short jasper unless you're in combat or using an npc ๐
Or in an instance, yeah
is there an easier way to level up dps rather than sitting in a queue for 20 minutes?
!faq altlevelguide
freetrial oops
You can still follow it up to 60
Pretty sure you can still follow the guide
What is the best 5 minute recap of ARR/Heaevnsward? (text or vid)
i second the question, skipped ARR cutscenes completely XD
So... for to make a Animated Weapon I need a Zeta weapon... and the zeta weapon is a bite of a grind is it? (which is even worse since I can't trade with other players or use the market board since i'm in the free trial)
No you donโt.
You don't need a zeta to make Anima weapons
That's just to skip some easy fate grinding
The zeta option is just there for players who already had one before HW relics got added
ooh
It is absolutely not worth doing the zeta just to skip a small fate grind
I see... but to reach the end of the quest line for the Lux weapon Iโm going to suffer a little because I canโt exchange items right?
Not exchanging them early so you can't prefarm much
The only thing you'd use the MB for, you'd use Grand Company Seals for instead.
Yeah youโll need 2nd Lieutenant in your GC to do the anima weapon to get the necessary items without crafting
I am fortunately
so not so bad as i thinking...
It'll be a step when it asks for dispelling arrows, kingcake, etc.
You'll know it when you see it
Do I need other Crafting/gathering job for that?
Nope.
I see
Are we able to add people as friends on a trial account?
no... I test it
but they can add you
Someone with a paid account should be able to add you as a friend, but you can't add friends.
Ohh okay! Thank you.
Am I reading about Rested EXP right that it's more effective at higher levels because it's purely a percentage based bar that doesn't scale up or down with level?
Rested exp is so plentiful, I'd advise against maximizing it
Rested xp just gives you a flat 100% bonus to xp gained until it runs out.
How good are ARR beast tribes for combat exp? And what level can I start doing them?
Also, Menphina's earring is BiS for <80 right?
ARR tribes are ok for exp. the downside to them is that they don't scale within the content's level range
first tribe you can unlock is at 41
which is kobolds
I already unlocked them all, this is alt jobs
basically kobolds can be started at 41, sylphs at 42, amal'jaa at 43, sahagin at 44
I want to get samurai, but i also wanna try ninja, i'm a lvl 27 rogue right now, if i do the mission or idk what to do for Ninja does it reset my level to 1? or does it stay 30 and if i get to 50 with ninja can i get the samurai job with that?
no, you'll stay 30
Ninja is rogue
and yes you can pick up samurai once you hit 50
And samurai starts at 50
Thank you thats all i needed to know ^~^
basically classes convert to jobs once you equip the job soul crystal (bottom right of character screen)
Think of jobs as just the class you've been leveling, but with some new tricks.
You're right, but i was just scared that if i picked ninja i'd have to put in even more work to get samurai eventually
How do i see FC advertising chat thingy's or how do i get a mentor ingame?
Jobs are just the full version of the class
There's not really any 1-to-1 in-game mentoring.
i'd love to start socializing and finding a group / clan idk what its called
Free Companies.
I just checked an kobold quests give a measly 8k exp, not worth it at all (for exp)
Ask a mentor for an invite to novice network
Then where do i find a Free Company?
!faq communityfinder
recruitment channel or community finder
Aha okkii ty ^~^
You can either check the community finder as linked, or just /shout that you're looking for a social FC in any major city.
its under tales of adventure
oh those class leveling thing?
yes
there is no cheaper option? my chr is all level 50
no
what is the level cap right now?
80
hey friends, do I need to do something specific to receive the rewards for preordering Endwalker on Steam? Because I preordered it earlier today and I still don't have any mail in game 
right click ffxiv > cd keys
ok thanks.
Okay I have the code but I can't find where on mogstation I'm supposed to paste it?
i dont really use twitter, so how else can i contact someone?
manage service options
for the FC community finder
go to their address
Discord
Yes
then enter preorder bonus code
#recruitment-chaos
FCs have houses in various housing districts.
You can go to that location and apply on the board outside the residence.
Btw is there any good way to level dps when queues are dead? Neither potd nor duty finder is popping
its on their community finder card
lol
Is there some sort of "getting up to date" or "thats what youve missed since then" vid? Its been quite a moment since ive last jumped into ff and i feel like im getting oveewhelmed with stuff
the mist is the residential district of limsa
so go to the mist
click ward 13
go to plot 32
Oh I found it! thank you guys for the help (:
Is it true that line lions is incredibly generous on positioning?
where is the goblet in ?
Lower La Noscea -> Red Rooster. If you do a blue quest, you can teleport there straight from the Limsa aetheryte too
@regal locust teleport to red rooster stead in lower la noscea
there's no teleport for red rooster
Western Thanalan, but also blue quest to aetheryte teleport.
easier to just walk out of upper limsa
I think they mean Mist.
yes...its easier to just walk out of upper limsa into lower la noscea
which puts you closer to red rooster stead
which is where the mists zone line is located
heh, ok so i'm in the lower la noscea
Yeah, go to Lower Lominsa, and then go to that smoll farming settlement just outside it, there's a quest there 'Where the Heart Is (Mist)'
small farming settlement
That will take you to Mist and the unlocks it so you can teleport directly from Limsa Lominsa Upper Deck to Mist
you unlock it first
you dont have to do the quest to enter
you can just walk in
the quest is just to unlock it on the limsa aetheryte
That's what Vie said
is there any returning bonus lately for ff14?
no
ok cool
I might've just been better off making a twitter account lmfao
but you can also just walk in without having done the quest...
and you're in that zone to begin with anyway to grab the unlock quest
my comment was also correcting cerberus anyway since as i said there's no teleport for red rooster
i meant moraby drydocks
I think a lot of confusion occured
Yeah no one wants to go to drydocks
it's a silly place
Then follow the quest, you'll be in Mist, and have it unlocked so you can teleport back from Limsa later.
okii thankyou
Can someone tell me what the magicked prism (job mastery) does?
It makes pretty stars over your head
i tp there and fly to red rooster because im lazy to walk out of limsa
Hi guys/gals. Iโm new here, I just finished creating my first character (white mage) but it wonโt allow me to make Exodus or Lamia my home world. Can anyone help?
@regal locust plots are numbered on the map
do... i have to walk alot?

@regal locust there are mini aetherytes around the place....which you would also see on the map
thankgod
???? really?
Yeah it has no real value, just use one and see.
the FF5 job mastery stars appear above your head
@remote lintel so o should wait until later to finish completing my character?
do people still use cure/benefic 1 or is it better to just go for 2?
if you care about getting on those worlds specifically yes
@runic prawn once you unlock 2 theres no reason to use 1
I was gonna buy one with tombs but not if they just make stars a bit and stop lol
thats what i figured. ty
@remote lintel does it matter what world I start on?
click the sign
Outside the estate
like on the menu where you find the plots?
No
There's a garden wall surrounding the house.
By the gate there's a placard.
Click the placard
theres a physical sign outside the house
its a huge plot though theres alot of houses
a plot is 1 house
You're looking specifically for plot #32
32 means its in the subdivision
the plots are numbered on the map
zoom in
how much it cost to change character name? I hate my last name being asura...
that's not bad

also preorder endwalker ..do i need to pay in full?
yes
if you're buying from SE's store, they don't charge you until release/use the "debit now" button
and will i get the code? I am not too sure if i will keep playing since i am a returning player with bloodstorm
Can you get a mount on the trial account?
you're sent an e-mail that directs you to where you can get the pre-order code
yes @leaden ginkgo
!faq mounts
'When can I get my first mount?'
The quest that allows you to use mounts, 'My Little Chocobo' is unlocked by completing the level 20 main story quest 'The Company You Keep'. The quest is located at the Grand Company base you chose and you'll need to buy the Chocobo Issuance from your Grand Company Quartermaster. You can get the 200 needed Grand Company seals by doing the main story quest that comes after 'The Company You Keep'.
'Are there any differences between mounts?'
Besides looks, all mounts are the same speed along with being able to fly. Some mounts allow multiple people to ride at once.
'Can I make my mount faster?'
Zones have one or two ranks of mount speed that increase the ground speed of mounts. The first rank comes from completing specific quests in the main scenario quests, with the second rank coming from Riding Maps which are bought with either Allied Seals, Centurio Seals, or Bicolor Gemstones. Mount Speed Boosts do not increase the flying speed of mounts.
Thank you!
also did they actually cut those really long quests in main quest? i kinda give up because of those filters...
they did trim a fair bit of ARR, yes.
and I will be able to keep it once I transfer to the full game? Sorry I keep asking about the trial verison, I just want to make sure that I keep all the stuff im working on when I do
can u give me a link to download free trial launcher?
post arr was reduced from 100 to 80, with many have objectives adjusted
er
!faq freetrial
Reading now, ThANK you
also is there a friend code system? i kinda remember there was one
Can someone give me a free chocorpokkur code pls, I can't get it im somewhere in Asia..?
there's a recruit a friend system yeah but if you've already subscribed once you're no longer eligible to use one
there is no begging in this server
please forgive if its been asked before. Tried to search and couldnt find a answer. If i pre order endwalker do i get all the previous dlcs?
Where can I beg then?
you do, but not until release since its tied to the endwalker code
ty!
You will get the other two expansions on the date Endwalker launches. You will not get them early access, you will not get them before then.
so many answers! ty all!
No problem!
oh so you dont get the earing that level bonus right now?
you do
the earrings are part of the pre-order code
can i change my style to one specific armor set and keep that no matter what im wearing? how does fashion work in ff14?
'What is Glamour and how do I unlock it?'
Glamour is the process of changing an equipment's look into a different item with the use of Glamour Prisms. You can unlock the ability to glamour by doing the level 15 quests 'If I Had a Glamour' in Vesper Bay, West Thanalan. Although not required, you can unlock the ability to dye gear with the nearby quest 'Color Your World'. You can get the Orange Juice needed by talking to the nearby Merchant & Mender. Items used for glamouring are not lost upon use.
'How do I glamour? Where do I get more Prisms?'
Glamouring is done by right-clicking (Square or X on controllers) on the equipment you want to glamour and choosing the option 'Cast Glamour'. After clicking this you choose the item you want the appearance on the right half of the menu that opened up. You can get more Glamour Prisms by either crafting them after completing the quest 'Absolutely Glamourous', buying them from your Grand Company Quartermaster, or buying them from the marketboard.
!faq glamourdresser
"What is the Glamour Dresser?"
The Glamour Dresser allows you to glamour an entire set of equipment at once when in a city or town. You can find the dresser in your inn room at any of the Adventurer's guilds.
"How do I use it?"
In order to use the Glamour Dresser you need to first put the items you want to use for glamour inside of it. This requires a one-time cost of one Glamour Prism per item. You're able to safely take out the items, but you'll need to pay another Glamour Prism to put it back into the Dresser. After you have put in the glamour items you want to use for your set you'll want to click on "Edit Glamour Plates".
When the plate window opens up you can select the stored glamours you have onto the slots of the plate to create the set you desire. Once you're satisfied with your glamour click on "Save". You can now apply your Glamour Plate by accessing the Character menu, clicking the Glamour Plate button, and choosing the Plate that you have made.

that butterfinger promote still on?
Til June
What's the "sparring" emote?
its not a lottery
thank you ^w^
hmm sounds like shadow boxing emote. which you get from msq
ok i will go out and buy some butterfingers XD
Cool, thanks.
YMMV. I got my code within 24 hours.
maybe it was my receipt, i had a ton of other junk food on it :p
if i was a male and i got the summer festival set from 2020, will i be able to use that if i change my gender to female? or will this armor become not usable?
it works on both genders
it changes appearance appropriately
I take it that memories from FATEs for 515 relic are not guaranteed, like with 500?
correct
Is it still faster than doing raids, which are, I assume, 100%?
Yes, but do I get more from FATEs in the same time? I mean, is doing raid even worth its time
Well raids are on average maybe like 20-30mins for 1
But fates are rng and you could get multiple within that same time, or not
I thought maybe there is an average chance overall
Impossible to guarantee cuz rng
Rng is calculated server side so we've no way of knowing rates short of hacking the servers
People say andeotally like 15-20%
whens the next relic step?
Next week
NOTE: I AM NOT TELLING YOU TO HACK THE SERVERS
oh damn. its the final step yea?
Yes it's the last step(s)
Newbie question, I'm struggling to see the use of Lucid Dream, it says restores MP gradually but I dont see the MP restoration whatsoever
it's there. nothing more i can say
Are you a thaumaturgist/black mage?
now where the heck i download the game ,,...
yes
if you're a black mage, it doesn't work during astral fire
In which case it doesn't work for you
just re-subbed..but no links
oh really
You don't get ANY regen during fire phase
sadge... only under umbral ice then?
And Umbral ice regens it too fast
And the ice phase regen is way better than lucid
It's useless on black mage
!faq download
Alright thanks
It's a role action, all casters get it
thanks
You get full mana in 2 game ticks with Ice
It has some endgame tech usage, but it's mostly there because in Stormblood, LD used to be used to dump aggro
however that part of it got removed from the game
๐
how long is a game tick ?
3 seconds
Oh and also, spell speed is good for BLM?
Yes
yes, however you're leveling so forget about it
Black mage loves all stats
assuming you're leveling.
yeah don't worry about stats until the level cap
jesus.. thats a long way
but alright
just go with the highest ilvl gear
Main stat like weapon damage and intelligence affect damage much more
blm has 2 concepts of bis, crit and spellspeed focused, spellspeed being essentially the better on paper by a little bit due to simply more fire IV, but it isn't ideal for other casters
none of the MSQ-involved boss fights are difficult enough to make secondary stats important ๐
Yea about early level rotations (40+-) i'm just spamming fire 3 and then topup with blizzard 3, not even touching thunder at all
you dont want to spam fire 3
does anyone know if i buy the base game and the pre order for endwalkers, if it will unlock everything in between right now? or do i gotta wait for end walkers to release for the previous expansions?
then spam fire? the level 1 one?
yes
use fire 3 to switch from umbral ice to astral fire immediately and when you get the proc from fire 1
how do you spiritbond lower level gears?
ah i see, the cast reduction thingy
endwalker include other DLC?
Fates and low level dungeons should do for combat gear
don't suppose the game's gonna go on sale anytime soon, is it?
also did they ever add a phone app for the token? its a pain in the ass to find my token
There's a phone app and you can use third party authenticators now
haven't played monk in a while, is tornado kick just an ogcd now??
Yeah, the phone app for the token was added back in ARR.
ok thanks
the key thing about fire 3 is that it doesn't actually refresh the duration of astral fire like fire 1 does
*Fire IV
Hope someone can help, I'd like to play the trial on PS5 but my linked Square Enix account had previously played the beta on PS4... now I can't play the trial for some reason
is the savage gear for each major patch better than the corresponding tome gear
My friend has done all the prerequisite quests for the relic weapon quest (Hail to the Queen) but the dude in the kugane market doesn't have it?
Weapon is the best

thanks
Does he need to do bacon bread?
lv55 is where heavensword starts?
50
gotchu
If you never owned the game, it shouldn't stop you from participating in the trial. Might have to do a support ticket on that one
Is there a channel to specifically recruit people for something?

hey guys, I wanted to try to play Lord of Verminion in Gold Saucer but I can't, I puted my minions inside the hotbar
did I need an extra step to be able to play ?
what is the fastest way to level up from 1-80 if msqs are not available?
yeah I have 16 minions set
I'm trying out PotD because I heard it was the best way to level an alt job without dealing with dps queues for dungeons. But I've been in the queue for PotD 21-30 for 28 minutes now....Am I missing something? Am I supposed to farm a specific floor for xp or something? Or is PotD just not popular anymore?
!faq altlvlguide
@plucky trellis its only good if your dungeon queues are long
people farm 1-10 or 51-60 iirc
So I'm just waiting for forever because people are farming 51-60 then?
you'll be waiting longer than you'd wait for a 51-60 queue, certainly. Not forever though
once you beat floor 50, you permanently unlock the ability to start new saves on floor 51
so the trip to 50 is a one-time thing
ah, gotcha
If I'm aiming on eureka elemental set, but without a glow โ what should I do? I noticed that you can buy something off the market, to just exchange it for an armor
logogram something
Logograms are exchanged to unlock different Eureka spells
it's been a while but I think you need to learn a certain number of unique ones in order to start getting the weapon/armor?
I just arrived and the only quest is not available, it says "obtain a crystal". I already asked this question before, people said "just farm the mobs, you'll get one eventually". I spent like an hour farming everything around and got nothing
yes, the mounts are a guaranteed drop and they're in a chest so you can unsync the fights
Alright. Not sure why my question replied to someone in a different server. o-o
dunno
If you need a Hydatos Crystal, you need a Hydatos Crystal. just like the previous Eureka zones
I'm pretty sure their drop rate increases if you chain, and may even be guaranteed at 30
wdym previous, it's the first one
you're in Anemos?
I don't see any chain going, despite killing mobs one after another
does anyone know where UI and HUD is backed up? mine reset after reinstall
I guess? In eureka

there is a chain bonus when killing anything that is the same Elemental Level or higher
wdym same elemental level? I guess I didn't get how this elemental wheel works
Elemental level is your level in Eureka
in that case I'm lvl 3 rn
so I should kill 30 enemies of lvl 3 in succession to get the crystal? that's a stupid system, ngl
You're probably going to want an actual Eureka guide
It's content that is deliberately invoking an older MMO playstyle
Bozja seems far more simple and less annoying than that
Bozja was their response when people had complaints about Eureka
you're not necessarily going to like Eureka, but there it is
I ALREADY don't like it ๐คฃ But I must get the armor
That's normal
at the very least, you will tend to find the most cooperative people in Eureka
Bozja took out a lot of the cooperative elements
honestly I saw no people there, except for hunt trains, who just clear the map and exit
that is the primary mode of making progress
both back then and now
The cooperation comes from the fact that people will work together to spawn the NMs efficiently and then wait for people to cross the map to get there before they pull
I understand, but it doesn't help to level up
it does a bit
It gives xp
let alone getting that crystal by smashing as many mobs as fast as possible
swiftcast is useless on red mage right?
no
Understand, you're doing it after ShB. It's been nerfed
swiftcast is used frequently
no its a dps gain
you would not ordinarily be able to blow through mobs that are the same EL as you
Swiftcast thunder/aero and fish for a proc to avoid jolt
Noob question, but how does one find friends in this game?
people would get full parties to chain mobs that were 2 or 3 levels over them
the same way you find friends irl
huh i thought swiftcast doesnt proc dualcast. is that new change?
no it doesnt
but there are no people who just smack mobs like me, that's the problem
There are some. and if there aren't, then just solo
you're incredibly late for the "I have something negative to say about Eureka train", that left the station years ago
I contacted support twice but didnt get a proper reply. Guess I need to unlink the old beta account and make a new one, then link it to PSN?
So basically you don't
hence why I said "you're not necessarily going to like Eureka, but there it is"
It doesn't. It let's you swiftcast and thunder or aero to try and get a fire/Stone proc so yoy avoid a jolt cast
Swift casting Verthunder and VerAero to fish for Verfire or Verstone ready proc.
Unlinking the old account and making a new one sounds like it should be an option, yeah
so what's my plan then? I must level up by clearing everything on sight? to what level?
ah i see
that's still something you have to go through support for, I think
@high otter you join the hunt trains
I'm too low elemental level for this
It still gets you some xp
you join a party for them
At least they couldnt unlink the beta from my account so its probably the only option
but ty
when I tried to join the party for hunt I was told that I won't get anything from it, because I'm too low level
you get a tiny bit of exp
You get a reduce amount but it's still worth
He also needs an Anemos crystal to finish the first quest
also enemies few levels above me just one-shot me, which makes traveling through the instance impossible
so he should go solo and get that out of the way
stick to the middle of the train
Enemies have different aggro.typed
Sight, sound, magic and blood
You can avoid al9t
Enemies with sight aggro (which is most of them) have a very very small cone of vision.
all enemies in the game? or just in eureka
in eureka
in Eureka
Mainly eur3ka
well, anyway, first of all I must do the quest
it does also apply outside of it
which means get the crystal
is reprise used only when you fuck up your mana balance?
As it is a ranged ability, Enchanted Reprise should mainly be used to maintain GCD uptime during movement heavy mechanics. It can also be utilized in a few other areas, including using it to weave oGCDs as they come off cooldown and using it to get an extra GCD before a boss becomes untargetable. It can also be used to dump mana before your Manafication, however with current potencies, this should not be seen as something that "must" be done each cycle.```
feels redundant since rdm already has dualcast to help with moving, but oh well
dualcast works for slight movement
as noted in the comment i posted its for "movement heavy"
Youre not always gonna be able to cast for it
aka you're not able to stop and cast to set up a dualcast
How would you rank each expansion in terms of the quality/enjoyment of the story/world? Starting with ARR until present.
in a perfect rdm play, i assume youd never use it?
You.will use it
Depending on the fight
For those movement heavy phases
If you can't sneak out a spell to trigger dualcast, then you need reprise to keep your gcd rolling
Otherwise you're losing dps
i guess i thought it was like SMN ruin 2 where you dont wanna use it if possible
Summoner has ruin 4 and egis for insta cast movement rdm only has enchanted reprise
how do i change my characters name?
Red mage only have Swiftcast to move during heavy movement phases if we ignore Reprise
Which isn't enough
For example: emerald weapons blender attack
on mogstation, under additional services. its 10$ to change name @true verge
You ain't dual casting around that or you're dead
do you think its possible to make a custom hotbar 2x3? I have a G604 mouse
just server tick through the attack 5head
thx
a certain dumbass would want to object to that along with any casters or minmal movement wanting people
Just walk through it with perfect server timing :)
How the fuck?
Aren't server ticks fun
rdm can probably do what i did with ease
blm, not sure
but probably yes
as i've seen whms do it
does BLU have lb3? or even 1/2?
Nope
if im not playing on a preferred server, will i still outlevel the MSQ ?
ty
or will i need to sprinkle in other quests to keep up
a lower levels, pretty easy to stay ahead of msq
but generally if you're doing msq, job quests and daily leveling roulette
You'll outlevel it at first but it'll probably catch up to you by the mid 40s if you don't sprinkle in other things
you should be able to keep similar in level to it
roulettes, really. No need to do quests for XP, that's kind of a waste of time
Cause i cant make a toon on Lamia atm >.< but i have a bunch of free time i dont want to lose waiting to get in
im curious
during bardams first boss, is it possible to position it so that the roar only angers one pack of mobs, or is 2+ just guaranteed
Is there a box or something for putting triple triad cards in? They're eating a lot of inventory space. I haven't played but I want to start at some point.
and cards you already own you can sell for some mgp in the gold saucer
When selling cards, thankfully it will say which ones you own already
Ok so I did pre-order endwalker were we supposed to get the email for it or what
Maybe itโs where I preordered is the problem
O.O How did I never notice this? I'm gonna blame the UI for making them blue in the inventory. Went straight to Triple-decker IV
Am I right is there a code to get the items now...like that ear ring itโs gonna be a big help
Yes
I preordered from steam so Iโm kinda lost
Ok
Very possibly a stupid question, but what is Reprise for? Does it fulfill basically the same function as Scathe for BLMs, except more effectively (just a source of DPS when you need to move and don't have an instant cast available), or is there specific utility for it?
I will do it after I deal ||with the wod for the moment||
.
Right there @lusty timber
Appreciate
One pack is possible with very good positioning
But itโs hard to consistently do from my experience
yeah, it seems like everytime i do it i just end up hitting three groups
Whats the difference between pc and pc download on the square enix shop? Im trying to buy shadowbringers but idk which to pick.

if you mean the 30 days play time you get when buying the game, it means you have 30 calendar days before you have to pay your sub
are all dungeons basically 8 man after like lvl 50 in msq? Seems like it went from 4 to always 8 now
No
Castrum and praeotirum are special
theres a couple after those too that are 8
Dungeons are 4man, trials and raids are 8mans
no there isnt
idk if theyre actually "dungeon"
Wait I thought u only had to buy the game and thats it??
this is a subscription game
It's a sub bases game
you have to pay a sub to play
c:
Hey, i'm sure this has been asked over and over, but I preordered the game and I'm not seeing the area to get the preorder code like with Shadowbringers.
Are there any unlockable hairstyles for viera?
@leaden ginkgo no
You mean you don't know where to enter the code, or you didn't get the code?
didn't get the code
you'll get an email with a link in it
where did you buy it from
Okay, cool. With shadow bringers it showed up in my purchase history and I clicked "unlock key" or something, so I was confused when I didn't see that
