#

Oh I think I was doing it the wrong way around

#

😂

wintry chasm
#

That sounds about right

#

Right click higher level gear first, press glam, choose the level 1 outfit

tranquil dust
#

Yep, that's it. Thank you

high otter
#

it's night, and I still can't find any

#

is there a list of them or spawn locations

hot eagle
warm snow
potent shoal
#

I'm realizing now that working on DOH/L means doing a ton of cross leveling

warm snow
#

Hand yes, land less so

#

It is recommended to level them all at once so you don't end up rebuying gear

potent shoal
#

I started on leather, but now I find I need mining stuff and tailoring stuff

karmic plank
#

Hey when looking at dragoon rotations where does star diver go?

potent shoal
#

kinda makes me wish I had some dedicated bag space just for crafting mats

karmic plank
#

I don’t have it unlocked yet I’m just planning cross hot bar

#

On this one for example

jade quartz
#

It’s not in the opener because it requires building up eye stacks to enter life of the dragon

#

It’s used once per life of the dragon phase

obsidian patio
#

They just get generic level 30 crafted gear

#

same for AST and MCH

warm snow
#

You don't get artifact armor til 60

obsidian patio
#

they don't get job-specific sets like RDM/SAM/GNB/DNC do when you unlock them

#

it's literal vendor gear

warm snow
#

Plain ol vendor/crafted gear

#

Yknow. Boring.

patent citrus
warm snow
#

Not a great link

#

Half of those are pvp rewards

frail loom
#

Does the game still not save your account settings and UI/HUD/etc when you fresh install? I forgot to check if I needed to back that stuff up

warm snow
#

No

#

Ui is part of character configs and stored locally

#

You can back it up either manually or to squenix servers

#

On login when selecting your character there's an icon with a gear

warm snow
#

You can backup your character configs to cloud there

frail loom
#

Ah it’s too late.. I formatted and didn’t check. Rip

warm snow
#

Just like a normal jump

oblique yew
#

can i collect the timeworn artiifacats, abandon the quest, take up the quest as another job and use those artifacts?

warm snow
#

There's a general setting for ui element size in one of the menus, can't remember where tho

oblique yew
#

cool

warm snow
#

You don't even need to be the same job while collecting the artifacts

#

Could grind potd as a scholar for your dragoon relic

oblique yew
#

noice

barren granite
#

where can i buy soil ? none in AH

patent citrus
#

the name is "topsoil"

barren granite
#

or do i need to botanize it ?

patent citrus
warm snow
#

System config > display > default ui size. There's also a "apply change to all ui components" button

barren granite
#

cool ty, looks like bertAna has it

patent citrus
#

should be available in marketboard too

#

just need the right keyword

barren granite
#

hmm search topsoil and nada

warm snow
#

Or enable partial match

patent citrus
#

tick the box below it, I forgot what does it say..

#

yeah that ^

warm snow
#

Cuz without it you have to match the entire name

barren granite
#

hah there we go

warm snow
#

So you won't get results without grade 3

barren granite
#

shoot now i need to fertalize it.

vital ruin
#

Need an opinion

#

Did 30+ factory runs no caster top

#

Do I just give up

#

Can I get that via a third party tool

patent citrus
#

run them as caster, then you should have higher chance getting it I guess?

jolly sorrel
#

Are any lv78 collectables particularly easier to make than others?

oak ice
#

No smart drop, he's just unlucky

vital ruin
#

Bro I've running as caster for 30+ runs

barren granite
#

jeez all these gardening combos are nutz

vital ruin
#

Of then atleast 15 were me as the only caster that top only had to drop once

patent citrus
#

oh I thought you ran it once as a dragoon 😂 that's what I assumed

vital ruin
#

I'm thinking if I can use a third party tool to get it

#

I got all the sets except healer and the caster top

agile laurel
#

what were you expecting? There's no tool that can manipulate droprates

green grail
#

you can use some model replacement tool but it's only gonna change the appearance for you

vital ruin
#

So I change the appearance of a gear into the nier 51 caster top?

jade quartz
#

Yeah CMtool

vital ruin
#

Now how do I use that on the PS4

jade quartz
#

Only affects what you see on your end

#

You don’t

vital ruin
#

Fml

#

Is there any caster top that looks like nier 51 top

warm snow
#

The nier 53 top

#

I'm a little sorry

open coral
#

The NieR gear has pretty unique looks that can only be found in those raids

strong saddle
#

Extreme is the hardest difficulty right? And savage is like the baby version of that?

jade quartz
#

No

patent citrus
#

extreme should be above or below unreal? I'm not sure

#

right below savage

jade quartz
#

Ultimate is the hardest difficulty

#

Savage is the baby version of that

#

Extreme is easier than savage

green grail
#

unreal/extreme < savage < ultimate

jade quartz
#

Unreal is just a special class of extreme

jolly sorrel
#

Is there any list of Bicolor Gemstone rewards, sorted by the rank they unlock in?

jade quartz
#

That’s a version of an old extreme fight with values scaled up to current levels

barren granite
#

hmm they dont sell mounts in AH ?

open coral
#

No

#

With the exception of a few crafted mounts

barren granite
#

ah

open coral
#

Most mounts are character-bound on pickup

agile laurel
#

Some mounts are tradable

#

Those purchased from the Firmament, or obtained from Eureka, for example

#

But those will likely be quite expensive

plain python
#

nut for dusting and coin for twine, or vice versa?

faint flare
#

Yes

#

Pretty much it's main draw

#

Lv20 minimum for crafters

#

The rebuild is complete

#

But it's permanent content

warm snow
#

Nuts are just an alternative since coins are weekly locked

flat yew
#

Is there anything useful I can sink company seals in or can I just overcap them?

warm snow
#

Glamour prisms and retainer ventures

#

That and dark matter

#

Can never have enough of those items

#

provided you're an omnicrafter for that third one

flat yew
#

fortunately I am agooglethumbsup

warm snow
#

Then you should do your own repairs and stock up on dark matter

flat yew
#

bummer I can only buy up to grade 3 pensibe

warm snow
#

Then you should be sinking them into promotions

vital ruin
#

I play the game on ps4 is it possible to play it on a laptop using the same account

#

Or do I have to start all over again

flat yew
#

oh? you use seals for promotions?

warm snow
faint flare
vital ruin
#

And I can use my PS4 account?

faint flare
#

Yes

vital ruin
#

What's a PC license

warm snow
faint flare
#

The pc version of the game

warm snow
vital ruin
#

Do I get that via mogstation

warm snow
#

Or steam

#

Up to you

faint flare
#

From the store,or steam

vital ruin
#

Steam is shit

warm snow
#

But whichever version you buy you're locked to

vital ruin
#

Do most PC players use steam

flat yew
#

ah I see. guess I'll have to learn what the hunting log is too now because it wants that for my next promotion

warm snow
#

But pays out seals

flat yew
#

ohhh

warm snow
#

And is needed for progress in your grand company

flat yew
#

I thought it had something to do with hunts

warm snow
#

No

flat yew
#

that makes it way easier. thanks

warm snow
faint flare
#

Is this a question

south kestrel
#

wrong channel, my apologies

boreal storm
vital ruin
#

I c

#

Do u use steam

flat yew
#

the benefit of steam is that you can use your steam wallet to pay

warm snow
#

You seem to have made up your mind on which platform you want to use so it doesn't matter

flat yew
#

a potential negative could be being bound to steam

vital ruin
#

I heard a lot of negative reviews of steam

#

So idk

warm snow
#

Majority of pc gamers use steam

flat yew
#

e.g. if you get your steam account locked for whatever reason or if the company dies you also probably lose your ffxiv stuff

vital ruin
#

Nice

#

Good stuff

high otter
#

are eureka challenges weekly or 1 time complete

warm snow
#

Not ff14 players, people who play games on pc in general

vital ruin
#

Weekly

faint flare
#

Weekly

#

Like normal challenge log stuff

warm snow
#

No exceptions

vital ruin
#

So no to steam?

high otter
#

so basically pointless trying to level up in eureka without challenges?

warm snow
#

It does not matter

warm snow
#

But challenge log will give you a weekly boost

jade willow
#

do you need to be facing your target to hit?

vital ruin
#

Good luck trying to level up in eureka without the challenge log

faint flare
#

You'll automatically face the target using skills

warm snow
#

For auto attacks no, for any skills/spells you face the target automatically

warm snow
#

So if a boss has a gaze mechanic where you look away you can't use any spells or skills but if you're close enough you'll still do auto attacks

high otter
warm snow
#

It definitely helps but it's not like you can't do anything without it. Especially with that 150% echo

faint flare
#

Early levels are basically just leeching off the fate train or mindlessly grinding mobs

vital ruin
#

Log is the best way to level
Second is fate spam
Third is reflect but for that you need good investment

faint flare
#

Pick your poison

vital ruin
#

And fates aren't auto generated you've to prepare fates

warm snow
#

I mean if you're there for relics afaik you'll need to mindlessly grind mobs anyways

high otter
#

I've got to lvl 15 so far, no challenges left. I guess I'll wait for the reset. When is that?

faint flare
#

Tuesday

warm snow
#

30.5 hours ago

#

Give or take

high otter

warm snow
#

• This product also includes Stormblood and Shadowbringers expansion packs, which will only be provided when Endwalker is officially released.

is there a way to get this expansion packs to unlock before endwalker release ?

warm snow
#

Buy shadowbringers

glossy flare
#

There's no way to get the full bundle now

ember frost
#

ah alright

glossy flare
#

if you bought EW already you are stuck waiting, basically

warm snow
#

You're preordering a product that includes shadowbringers and stormblood. So it's all once package I'm afraid

#

And no unlock for 6 months

ember frost
#

ok thanks!

warm snow
#

It's mostly there because once Endwalker releases you won't be able to buy shadowbringers on its own any more

ember frost
#

i see, i guess i will spend my time slowly with ARR and HS storylines

hard elm
#

I bought the Endwalker Digital Collector's Preorder, and added it to my account. I see that "early access" is checked, but nothing appears for "collector's edition." I assume that will change on launch day?

maiden palm
#

where can i buy elm log

faint flare
#

Market board

warm snow
boreal storm
#

Or just gather it yourself

warm snow
#

!item elm Log

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Elm Log** **:** Lumber : ilvl 16

A rough-cut log of elm timber.

Gathering Node

Zone: Central Shroud
Location: Bentbranch
Position: (21.3, 19.7)
Level: 15

maiden palm
#

oh cause i just bought whatever mats i needed up to 15lvl craftlog

warm snow
#

Guild vendors are only good for the first 15 ish levels of quests

faint flare
#

You're on your own after that

maiden palm
#

so i can progress up to 11-15 with all crafting by just buying the materials

warm snow
#

Ish

vital ruin
#

If PS support doesn't exist for my region
How do I get a refund

hard elm
warm snow
#

Last i checked you can only put in the preorder code atm

faint flare
#

You'll be given/allowed the collectors code close/at to launch

hard elm
#

Ah. Fair.

#

I bought the Lunar Whale mount. Guess I'll have to wait for 10 days. o.O

warm snow
#

Should be fewer than that but probably won't be instant

jade willow
#

do you guys use legacy or standard movement setting?

warm snow
#

Controller and legacy but everyone is different

robust notch
#

I use Standard but did this with my keybinds

#

Which might be how Legacy is..? idk

west parrot
#

Are there differences in the retainer DoW/DoM class I choose? Or are they all equally efficient in getting mats from ventures?

faint flare
#

Combat retainers are the same

west parrot
#

k

hard elm
#

I got the mount already. That was quick.

maiden palm
#

what are crafter secondary tools, do i need them? cause im clearing my inventory from all the trash that i made

robust notch
#

Yes

#

They're equippable items, just like body pieces or boots

maiden palm
#

ohu can equip two tools for more stats ok

robust notch
#

They give plenty of stats

#

Yes, a main tool and a secondary tool

maiden palm
#

do i need previous crafting weapons to make the next ones

#

cause i got too many rn

robust notch
#

No, you don't

#

You just need the level requirement to make the recipe, and good enough stats in some cases

maiden palm
#

also i bought like 99stacks of materials cause im capped at 300k i hope i will have a use for them later

warm snow
#

Sell or desynth

maiden palm
#

desynth for mats?

robust notch
#

Yep

maiden palm
#

got it

warm snow
#

Also levels your desynth

#

Which is never bad

vital ruin
#

When I try to get a refund this error keeps showing

#

We hat do I do

#

What

#

The live chat doesn't work nor the urls

void cargo
#

When do you unlock Regana in Gangos?

warm snow
vital ruin
#

I don't use twitter

warm snow
vital ruin
#

I've 14 days to get my refund it's already been 3 days

warm snow
#

If you want to buy replicas can't until you've progressed far enough into that relic

void cargo
warm snow
#

Depends on the step you want

#

Idk for the base relic but you can't get the recollection replica til youre at augmented laws order

#

It's probably recollection to unlock the base relic replicas

high otter
#

I've heard a rumor I can get a Cid's beard in Golden Sauce to use with fantasia, is that true

warm snow
#

If no one answers we don't know

#

Idk if there's any facial hair that you get through items in the first place

boreal storm
#

Pretty sure beards aren’t a thing you can buy

warm snow
#

Just hairstyles

high otter
#

Pity. Hyur beards suck

warm snow
#

Cid isn't a hyur

high otter
#

I know

warm snow
#

And playable garleans probably never cuz lore

high otter
#

I meant I'm playing hyur and have beard irl, but it's not nearly as pathetic as I can have in the game

warm snow
#

Depends on sony

jade quartz
#

There are no unlockable facial hair options

maiden palm
#

besides the 3 main city hubs, are there similar cities from expansions

glossy flare
#

Yes, each expansion has a similar hub

#

Though they have slightly less "features"

faint flare
#

Each expansion has 1 major city and 1 endgame hub

#

Ie heavensward is Ishgard for city, and idyllshire for endgame hub

jolly sorrel
#

When would I use Nascent Flash on myself over Raw Intuition?

faint flare
#

If you're gonna live through the hit

#

Nascent basically let's you full heal with some gauge spenders

jade quartz
#

You use nascent most of the time tbh

faint flare
#

!faq nascent

zinc orbitBOT
#
Nascent Flash vs Raw Intuition

See the Link for the math and explanations on the different cases. Make a copy if you want to fool around with the incoming damage values.

Raw Intuition covers 171k damage in this example.
That's worth a Shiva auto-attack and a Ramuh tank buster in total. This is to give Raw Intuition at least two hits worth of damage to mitigate.

faint flare
#

More mathy answer

jolly sorrel
#

Beautiful, thank you both.

faint flare
#

And of course, you spam that shit in trash pulls

#

Le casual "I can't die button" with aoes

jolly sorrel
#

So Nascent is the default, and Raw Intuition is a pure anti tank buster if other CDs arent enough-thing

faint flare
#

More or less

jolly sorrel
#

🙇

faint flare
#

If you're gonna die - RI
If you're gonna live - nascent

maiden palm
faint flare
#

Arr endgame hub is Mor Dhona

#

It's where the tome vendors are

wooden sierra
#

Well, i need a help. About 2 or 3 days ago I sent a message to support centre Square that I am not able to login because I haven't got one-password to login in my mobile. And I got a e-mail from them that there is "your ticket number is ........". What is ticket number for? I am too confused.

maiden palm
#

oh i see

warm snow
#

They seem to add in blue bag poetics vendors to the major city once we move on to the next expansion

warm snow
jade quartz
#

It’s a reference number for your case

#

For the support staff’s sake

wooden sierra
warm snow
#

Check your spam

#

Auto replies often get caught in spam Filters

wooden sierra
warm snow
#

There's a chance you didn't give the correct email when you opened your support ticket then

jolly sorrel
#

Is there any particular timing I want to use Infuriate on? Or just, whenever

wooden sierra
#

Actually they sent me a notification on my e-mail 2 days ago

faint flare
jolly sorrel
#

WAR seems really easy.. thanks.

warm snow
glossy flare
#

That's because war is really easy

warm snow
#

Tanks are easier simplified dps with mitigation tools instead of more complicated attacks

wooden sierra
warm snow
#

Odd that there's no number there but it might be at the link

short blaze
#

my wife told me i was talking about MSQs in my sleep...i think the game has me hooked lol

wooden sierra
warm snow
#

Or did it actually list your ticket number in which case its probably just telling you that it's been formally given a ticket number

jolly sorrel
glossy flare
#

Because it would be redundant and therefore a waste of a charge

faint flare
#

Infuriate gives yoy a guaranteed crit direct hit for inner chaos/chaotic

#

Inner release makes all attacks guaranteed crit direct hit

#

So you waste a benefit of infuriate

jolly sorrel
#

Ohh, I thought Infuriate just gave a better version of the attack

faint flare
#

It is, with a guaranteed crit direct hit

jolly sorrel
#

Aha. And Inner Release does that too, okay, got it.

warm snow
#

You're basically double stacking the guaranteed direct crit which is a waste

iron rock
#

Hi guys, how do I check which account my region belongs to? So I purchase the correct item for EW, I hopped around multiple different regions, so I'm not sure which one it originally was on

how often do people do hunts and whatnot cuz I need tomestones

green grail
twilit arch
leaden ginkgo
#

as long as i have one crafter at 80 i’ll be able to get white scrips from custom delivery turn ins if i max out collectability ?

#

like if my weaver is 80 but i turn in on GSM does it still give white

faint flare
#

If you turn them in with a lv80

iron rock
#

Oh I see

#

Mine is on The Americas, so I buy from the US store then?

twilit arch
#

yes

Aight, cheers

#

Hello! I'm currently a lv24 (almost lv25) Lancer playing the free trial right now. I'm wondering if gear should be something I pay attention to in these early stages or will basically anything I find be good enough during the free trial? Thanks!

strange coral
#

If it's your first job, MSQ and dungeons will keep you geared well enough

jade quartz
#

Gear you get from quest rewards and dungeon drops is fine.

amber storm
#

Alrighty, good to know, thanks!

leaden ginkgo
#

it goes dwarven crafting gear and then what ?

jade quartz
#

White scrip gear as interim to getting Aesthete.

#

Aesthete fully pentamelded with materia is the best gear.

leaden ginkgo
#

i thought there was something after dwarven that could skip scrip gear

#

if it was over melded

maiden palm
#

is there an lfg here or at another discord for raids etc

jade quartz
#

There’s Facet which you shouldn’t be going for

jade quartz
#

Scrip gear is easier to obtain and better

#

Facet gear is a waste of your time and money

buoyant sorrel
#

Uhhhm, hypothetically. If I accidentally got rid of the pre order earrings could you get them back from the calamity salvager?

jade quartz
#

Scrip is the easy option for getting to Aesthete

leaden ginkgo
#

white scrips seem like they take long asf don’t you only get like 20 per turn in excluding custom deliveries ?

#

meanwhile don’t you just directly craft facet or am i missing something

jade quartz
#

White scrips are easy to farm. Facet is worse, costs a lot more especially with melds, and is a waste of your time

#

The path is very straightforward, get scrip -> aesthete

#

The scrip gear was added for the purpose of bypassing Facet

strange coral
#

You would also have to HQ the facet gear, which might be RNG heavy if you're starting from dwarven gear.

jade quartz
#

Facet is old BiS, you don’t need to get it any more

leaden ginkgo
#

so your not telling me how to get scrips after custom deliveries

green grail
#

craft collectables and turn them in

jade quartz
#

Figure out a cost-efficient turnin

#

Carpenter has a good one

leaden ginkgo
#

what’s the best turn in for weaver

green grail
#

there's like 2 or 3, check which ones you can craft with your limited access to other crafters

leaden ginkgo
#

and i can do turn ins today and get 1200 white scrips from the customs, but the other 1200 or so is gonna be hard

green grail
#

i'd reccomend leveling other crafters to 80 before trying to endgame-gear a single one

twilit arch
#

for white scrips you have 1 option, the lvl 80 turn in

rustic flare
#

I am currently mining Dragon Obsidian to sell on the Market Boards. How much will it sell for based on the history?

twilit arch
#

lyon talking about most cost efficient turn in is if you have multiple crafters at 80 to choose from their various lvl 80 turn ins

jade quartz
leaden ginkgo
#

i’m just killing two birds with one one stone i’m not really worried about getting every other crafter from 70 to 80, i haven’t even done the quest from 53 and up

dense bronze
#

is there a "friend list" feature in this game? I met some nice people and want to note their name

agile laurel
#

yes

#

rightclck their name and the option should appear

jade quartz
#

If you don’t have all your crafters levelled there’s questionable point in getting BiS crafters gear

proud willow
#

^

leaden ginkgo
#

i can literally get them 80 in a day

dense bronze
#

they maybe on another server on the same data center

jade quartz
#

Then do so

#

Then you have more turnin options

leaden ginkgo
#

don’t they all give the same amount of white scrips

twilit arch
#

yes, but they're not all cost efficient

leaden ginkgo
#

nvm lol i’ll just find what the best one on weaver is ‘cost efficient’ and go from there

twilit arch
#

unless you're going to be gathering all of the mats yourself, which then its moot and you can do whatever

rustic flare
#

Geez. According to the history records. Dragon Obsidian do not sell for a lot.

twilit arch
#

again....you only have 1 choice for white scirp turn ins

#

its the lvl 80 turn in

twilit arch
#

cost efficiency is if you have MULTIPLE lvl 80 crafters to decide which lvl 80 turn in to do

green grail
#

i usually spam the lemonade for white crafting scrips

jade quartz
#

Level your other crafters if you want better ones

#

You’re not “killing two birds with one stone” by doing what you’re doing

#

Cost efficient means cheaper materials

#

Or fewer materials if self-gathering, meaning faster

rustic flare
#

But wait. My miner is level 68. And I should be mining in zones based on level. Any zones that I can go to and mine ore at level 68?

proud willow
#

there are nodes that are 65 to 70 in the Stormblood zones

#

the items won't necessarily be worth money just because they're high level, for various reasons

#

but if you look around, you should find something that sells well on your server

You can play on any world on any datacenter within FFXIV. Aside from the languages spoken, the physical location of the servers, and the status of each world, there are no major differences. This also means population on a given server is quite meaningless.

The majority of content is cross-world, with the exception of Free Companies, Linkshells, and restrictions when visiting other worlds.

If you don't mind where you play, choose a world that is Preferred or New for character creation bonuses. Check world status by using !status <world name> or via the Lodestone. For information about the status types, use !faq worldtype.

Notable worlds:

  • Balmung & Mateus (Role-playing)
  • Tonberry & Kujata (Large amount of Oceanic players)
  • Moogle (Large amount of French players)
  • Shiva (Large amount of German players)
    ANY CENSUSES OR WORLD STEREOTYPES BEYOND THIS IS INACCURATE BIAS AND SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY

That's the one

wicked depot
#

thanks, sorry for asking such a common question

jade quartz
#

Crystal datacentre is the role playing hub, smaller raid community

#

Aether and Primal are both just normal

proud willow
#

No problem! you are keeping Kupo Bot employed

agile laurel
#

quite frankly, crystal's rep is somewhat undeserved

#

the raiding community IS smaller but not impossible to raid with by any means

rustic flare
#

Hmm. Will Gyr Abanian Alumen sell well?

strange coral
#

Every server has a different economy. You'll have to check your MB and see how its doing on your server.

rustic flare
#

The Dragon Obsidian that I just mentioned. It's selling for less money on Goblin. Though it is not as much as a requested material by those that are Blacksmiths, Armorsmiths and what not.

proud willow
#

check Ala Mhigan Salt Crystal, it is an ingredient in foods (often crafted hundreds at a time) that are used by raiders even though it comes from the previous expansion

#

That's the sort of thing that will tend to drive the price up

#

nobody really needs to craft 99 MCH weapons at a time

#

and that's all that the obsidian is used for

#

Oh, that's a timed node, that is the other reason it sells

rustic flare
#

Sweet. Do you know what time in Eorzea Time does it spawn?

strange coral
#

12 am and 12 pm

rustic flare
#

Getting close to spawning time in game now

#

I just to keep my eyes and cat ears open.

#

I got the salt crystal. Though it's not a lot either.

proud willow
#

It is easier to get more if you're higher level and have access to Pick Clean

#

That's one of the things about crafting and gathering; if you're trying to make a profit at level, you're competing with people who can do whatever you're doing much more efficiently

proud lily
#

Hey all. Fresh 80 - looking to meld Materia but I am a non-crafter. What are my options? Is there an NPC for this?

strange coral
#

There are materia melder npcs, but they can't do pentamelding

jade quartz
#

Materia melders are found in every city market and endgame hub

strange coral
jade quartz
#

They can’t overmeld crafted gear but that’s not something you should need to be doing at this point in the expansion anyway

proud lily
#

What's pentamelding?

faint flare
#

Putting 5 materia into crafted gear

proud lily
#

Oh, thus penta

#

I've been getting my Materia through some MSQ and daily leveling roulette. What's the max Materia lvl?

jade quartz
#

Go to Limsa or Eulmore to chat with randoms in /shout

strange coral
#

#

Join a free company and/or linkshells

Hey, so I kinda need to gather some people together to help me fight Gilgamesh? I'm a Lvl 57 RDM on Adamantoise and I have been so excited to fight him but unfortunately, the queues are too long

strange coral
#

You'll have an easier time in the prime time hours. Or make a PF for it if you don't mind unsyncing it with some level 80s. While it is included in the trial roulette, not a lot of people have it unlocked since its locked behind the Hildibrand quest line.

#

Although daily reset is coming up in about 30 mins, so that might also be a good time to queue as some people will be doing their roulettes right after reset.

flat forge
#

I'm from the EU and I'm in the NA servers, where are the Prime Time Hours? 😅

strange coral

Afternoon/evening for NA. It's 9:30 am central currently.

Ah right, I'm just a big Gilgamesh fan and I just wanna do his thing ya know 😅

My friend is getting queue blocked for 30 minutes when he's accepting the queue and someone else isn't?

How you know if a boss does magical or physical damage?

proud willow

That's normal. If someone declines or AFKs when the queue pops, it is counted against the whole party.

it's only after 3 declines that you get blocked from queuing

leaden ginkgo
#

how can i gear my alts for low levels like 30 and 50s

leaden ginkgo
#

it was me this whole time

proud willow
#

at 30 you can just buy vendor gear if you need it. At 50, spend Tomestones of Poetics on the Ironworks gear

green grail
# tulip skiff How you know if a boss does magical or physical damage?

in 90% cases things like raidwide damage is magical, and tank busters physical, you can also usually tell by the animation, but if you're doing endgame content where using specific mitigation at correct times is a matter of life and death you can look up the fight on fflogs, go to enemy damage dealt and physical attack names will be in orange while magic in blue

not all, but you can usually tell, if it's something like the boss punching the ground then it's probably physical, if it's casting something and idk an explosion happens for example, it's probably magical

The app let's you buy things off market board and sell from.your retainers

faint flare
#

Which each cost a nut

proud willow
#

they tied it to a currency so you can't do it nonstop

jade quartz

You can play all classes on one character and changing it is easy, so you’re not stuck with your choice if you don’t end up liking it

You need to meld the specific materia specified in the quest journal objective

#

Correct type and number rank

deft parcel
#

Ohhh

#

Thank you

#

I have seemed to skim past that

open coral
#

But basically just do your daily leveling roulette, then spam your highest level dungeon (excluding level 50 dungeons) until you get to 60.

modest igloo
#

pvp roulette is also good, as well as alliance and MSQ if you have the time/unlocked them

open coral
#

If they're starting from 30, MSQ/Alliance roulette doesn't do much good.

modest igloo
#

hence why i added the unlock

#

ah, it does mention them, good to know

leaden ginkgo
#

my level is 30 what should i focus on

#

alt*

faint flare
#

Daily roulette then highest level dungeon spam

leaden ginkgo
#

do i need some kind of buffs ?

#

like exp buffs

faint flare
#

Food buff helps for an extra 3%

#

And being in a free company gives you another 10-15% if they're running the xp buff (which most do)

diamond for bad players hahaha

It's average fight length of around 9mins or so

then idk

modest igloo

its a weapon fight with no checkpoint prolly

Diamond is the least deserving of 2 totems

maybe it's a new policy going forward? 2 totems for no checkpoint fights

The same order you did them

MSQ is linear so you're doing them in order anyways

humble epoch
#

ah i see

#

thanks

modest igloo
#

its long but worth it

tulip atlas
#

if i get the 15/month i get all the expansions with it right?

strange coral
#

No. Starter edition includes HW. Shadowbringers includes SB and ShB.

#

Complete edition includes all

tulip atlas
#

how much is the complete edition per month?

strange coral

Edition doesn't affect sub price

faint flare
#

The sub price doesn't change

strange coral
#

!faq subprice

zinc orbitBOT
#
Subscription Prices
tulip atlas
#

so the standered comes with everything?

strange coral
#

No, sub price does not cover expansions. Expansions are a one-time purchase

faint flare
#

Standard just let's yoy have more characters

tulip atlas
#

oh, so i have to buy the subcriptions and the expensions? thats kinda wack

faint flare
#

Buy the game and expansion then you sub

tulip atlas
#

wait what? i have to buy the game? than whats the point of the subcriptions

faint flare
#

It's a subscription based game

#

Buy to play and sub

#

Without a sub you can't keep playing after the time is up

tulip atlas
#

yeah so could i just buy the sub?

faint flare
#

No

twilit arch
#

you need to own the game first before you can sub

tulip atlas
#

bruh

strange coral
#

The game also has a very generous free trial that covers the base game and first expansion with some limitations

tulip atlas
#

could you use that as the base game?

twilit arch
#

no

#

the free trial does not give you ownership

tulip atlas
#

so you have to buy the 20 dollar game to spend 15 dollars a month to play the game, once a month, plus all the expenstions.

faint flare
#

20 dollar Base game
40 dollar expansion
12 per month after the free 30days is up

tulip atlas
#

why tf do you have to buy a game that your paying monthly to play

faint flare
#

To keep the servers running and people paid

#

And avoid p2w microtransactions

#

And a good update cycle

tulip atlas
#

why not just make the base game free and have a more expensive per month

strange coral
#

It's the same payment model as WoW. I know some other MMOs don't but those tend to have other monetization.

faint flare
#

It's easier to pay a small sub per month

tulip atlas
#

its littarly 75% of the base game per month, to play the game that you bought

open ember
#

Its an mmo with a subscription based model

faint flare
#

In exchange there is a massive amount of content

twilit arch
#

this isn't the place to complain about the subscription model....

open ember
#

Its has always been like this

#

If you don't like it then don't play. Don't complain about it here

strange coral
#

The game is on sale sometimes for 50% off. Not currently though that I know of. But that's the way it is. If you don't like it, then there's nothing we can do for you.

leaden ginkgo
#

how do i know how much exp bonus do i have

faint flare
#

It's the bracketed number next to the xp gain

flat yew
#

it usually tells you the percentage increase next to the xp gain

leaden ginkgo
faint flare
#

Kill a mob and check the xp gain system messages

strange coral
#

In the chat log, you'll get something like 100 exp gained (+100%)

tulip atlas
#

so its 240 dollars to buy the game, and then play for a year with the expansion?? so fucking wack

leaden ginkgo
#

ok then what should i stack here

twilit arch
#

???

#

no dude

faint flare
#

The cheapest

#

So orange juice

leaden ginkgo
#

oki

flat yew
#

you're basically paying for your spot on the server

twilit arch
#

you pay 60 dollars upfront for everything, then 13 (because most people use entry anyway) a month to play

#

and you pay 40$ every 2 years after that when an expac releases

#

and you don't have to play every single month anyway

flat yew
#

it isn't much different compared to free to play games where you would pay small amounts over a month for e.g. energy top-ups to keep going

twilit arch
#

pay for the sub when you wanna play, unsub when you don't

tulip atlas
#

60 + 156(per year) is 216. it cost 156 dollars to play a year + the base game with expensions

twilit arch
#

And are you honestly going to play all year? probably not, plenty of people take breaks

#

again you don't have to like it but that's how this game works

#

please take it elsewhere if you're just going to complain about the price model

little swift
#

156/365 is about 43 cents per day. if you're not finding 43 cents worth of fun out of the game then its fine to just not sub when you aren't having fun

boreal storm
#

Honestly, I’d just resub for events I wanna do or new patches

little swift
#

if we're really out here doing stretch mathematics about scale and pricing

You won't be able to take advantage of any SE store sales.

open coral
#

If you want to play on PC, I would recommend buying from the SE store.

twilit arch
#

steam or thru SE's store is fine, just depends on whether you're ok with not having sales as often

open coral
#

Steam is fine if you don't mind being locked to Steam.

exotic scroll
#

If I bought it through the se store could I still run the game through steam?

twilit arch
#

if you're also in a region that's not exactly supported by SE (places like brazil and such), going thru steam can be easier/more straight forward

#

also if you're someone who makes use of steam wallet often, that's another plus for steam

open coral

All EXs and savages can be comfortably cleared in pf. You just have to deal with PF

ruby and emerald also aren't at the same difficulty level, despite all being extremes

flat yew

the "hardest" things I've done so far were the second nier raid and e4

faint flare

All the weapons have been really easy this expansion

open coral

Basically, the answer is "you have to use PF, but it doesn't matter if you know the people you're in PF with"

little swift

the complexity of mechanics for diamond are quite low

open coral

You shouldn't try to use DF for EX trials.

flat yew

there's a difference between PF and DF?

In order to access Stormblood and Shadowbringers content, you'll need to buy the Shadowbringers expansion, which includes both, as well as be a subscribing player rather than free trial.

Where can i find the "standard edition"? I only see complete edition and shadowbringers?

rigid dove
#

while moving???

flat yew
#

well no

#

technically yes

#

lol

rigid dove
#

having small hands really hurts right now XD

rigid dove
#

mhhh ok then. so im either gonna get used to it, or buy a mmo mouse

#

@flat yewthx for the help. i can get started with that

open coral
#

Well, that's the EU page, but pick your version of the store.

#

There's the NA store.

lavish fjord
#

Hm okay but i can buy the complete edition for 39€

open coral
#

Yes.

lavish fjord
#

So i should just buy that one instead

open coral
#

The complete edition includes Shadowbringers

#

So if you're ready to get the full game, then the Complete Edition is a good buy.

lavish fjord
#

Well i've never played the game at all but if the standard is only 5€ cheaper than the complete edition i might aswell get the complete edition

If you've never played the game at all, but aren't sure you want to spend the money on it, I would recommend getting the free trial first.

ah gotcha thanks

#

So for a new player, what server would you recommend or does it not really matter

#

!faq worldpick

Which world should I pick?

You can play on any world on any datacenter within FFXIV. Aside from the languages spoken, the physical location of the servers, and the status of each world, there are no major differences. This also means population on a given server is quite meaningless.

The majority of content is cross-world, with the exception of Free Companies, Linkshells, and restrictions when visiting other worlds.

If you don't mind where you play, choose a world that is Preferred or New for character creation bonuses. Check world status by using !status <world name> or via the Lodestone. For information about the status types, use !faq worldtype.

Notable worlds:

  • Balmung & Mateus (Role-playing)
  • Tonberry & Kujata (Large amount of Oceanic players)
  • Moogle (Large amount of French players)
  • Shiva (Large amount of German players)
    ANY CENSUSES OR WORLD STEREOTYPES BEYOND THIS IS INACCURATE BIAS AND SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY
lavish fjord
#

ah i see okay

open coral
#

We always recommend servers with Preferred status, because there's a bonus to xp gains as well as if you get a character to level 30 before you buy the game, you get an extra 15 days of sub time.

#

But basically any server is good.

lavish fjord
#

gotcha okay just wanted to make sure i dont join a "dead" server hah

open coral
#

No such thing

open ember
#

None of the servers are dead

lavish fjord
#

Cool cool good to know

open ember
#

Everything is cross play

open coral
#

Content is cross-world, and the level sync system for instances means that required content is always being played.

night sage
#

is there a way to rearrange the party list after disconnecting->reconnecting?

open coral
#

/psort

night sage
#

thanks

open coral
#

That will automatically resort the party to the default (you on top, then tanks, healers, dps)

#

Or whatever you have it set to as your default.

open ember
#

Huh

#

I didn't know that was a thing

open coral
#

It's a lifesaver for me when I'm healing and a tank drops.

#

Because I get hella confused when the tank is at the bottom of my party list.

open ember
#

writes down thank you I'll use this next time

twilit arch
#

can also do it by opening the social menu

lavish fjord
#

So uh where do i actually find the free trial

#

nvm i found it

mental oracle
#

Can you disable damage numbers from party?

open coral
#

You mean the flying text?

#

I don't think so.

faint flare
#

Pop up text turns off party members damage, buff pop ups and your dotd

#

Flying text is your damage

twilit arch
barren granite
#

can we turn off party members skill animations

#

sometimes is too much

last vale
#

hello, i want to continue the Hildibrand sidequests in order to unlock the remaining trials, but I don't remember where i stopped.... the last unlocked trial was Battle on the Big bridge, but then i can't find any related npc

#

barren granite
#

ya show all makes my eyes bleed heh

Hiya, is there info on triple triad NPC difficulty and rewards anywhere? I just started in the gold saucer, challenge a couple of NPC's and they had super cards.

south kestrel
#

How can I make my achievements public? I would like to see how ffxivcollect works but it says my Achievements are set to private

#

Can support change my account's region from NA to EU?

I don't know if this is the right channel for this but...
Does anyone know if it takes this long to receive a confirmation mail for the preorder of the collector's edition box of Endwalker (preordered from S-E EU site)

frank mountain
#

I guess I should find some cards to buy before carrying on though.

#

is camp dragon head the only place with 35-45 fates ?

mental obsidian
#

Unfortunately I checked out as guest because it was impossible to log in

leaden ginkgo
#

there are more 45+ than anything tbh

gritty oracle
#

If you're looking to use the fates for leveling, fate xp is garbage

#

the only use for arr fates is book step, atmas and some beast tribes.

As a complete noob are there better servers than others for me to go on? I'm excited to learn but I don't want to get harassed for being bad, heh

modest igloo
#

all servers are pretty equal

sour ruin
#

Community on the whole is prety newbie friendly too

remote lintel

highly unlikely you get harassed for being bad

modest igloo
#

modest igloo
#

Oh okay nice. Yeah I don't know much about the FFXIV community. Coming from wow I assume people will flame you, lol

modest igloo

this game is nothing like wow

remote lintel

ACT/Parsing

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.

ACT/FFLogs Guide

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.

You could get to lv80 in 3 months

If you were serious about it

Lv30 is never easy to achieve

Less if you skipped all the story but we don't recommend that here
