That sounds about right
Right click higher level gear first, press glam, choose the level 1 outfit
Yep, that's it. Thank you
Glamour is also an in universe term for illusions so its cast on the target piece not what you're making it look like
I'm realizing now that working on DOH/L means doing a ton of cross leveling
Hand yes, land less so
It is recommended to level them all at once so you don't end up rebuying gear
I started on leather, but now I find I need mining stuff and tailoring stuff
Hey when looking at dragoon rotations where does star diver go?
kinda makes me wish I had some dedicated bag space just for crafting mats
I don’t have it unlocked yet I’m just planning cross hot bar
On this one for example
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
You don't get artifact armor til 60
they don't get job-specific sets like RDM/SAM/GNB/DNC do when you unlock them
it's literal vendor gear
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
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
Ah ok thanks
You can backup your character configs to cloud there
Ah it’s too late.. I formatted and didn’t check. Rip
After that you weave it in when you can during life of the dragon
Just like a normal jump
can i collect the timeworn artiifacats, abandon the quest, take up the quest as another job and use those artifacts?
There's a general setting for ui element size in one of the menus, can't remember where tho
Yup
cool
You don't even need to be the same job while collecting the artifacts
Could grind potd as a scholar for your dragoon relic
noice
where can i buy soil ? none in AH
the name is "topsoil"
or do i need to botanize it ?
something like this https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Grade_3_Thanalan_Topsoil
System config > display > default ui size. There's also a "apply change to all ui components" button

cool ty, looks like bertAna has it
hmm search topsoil and nada
Or enable partial match
Cuz without it you have to match the entire name
hah there we go
So you won't get results without grade 3
shoot now i need to fertalize it.
Need an opinion
Did 30+ factory runs no caster top
Do I just give up
Can I get that via a third party tool
run them as caster, then you should have higher chance getting it I guess?
Are any lv78 collectables particularly easier to make than others?
No smart drop, he's just unlucky
Bro I've running as caster for 30+ runs
jeez all these gardening combos are nutz
Of then atleast 15 were me as the only caster that top only had to drop once
oh I thought you ran it once as a dragoon 😂 that's what I assumed
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
what were you expecting? There's no tool that can manipulate droprates
you can use some model replacement tool but it's only gonna change the appearance for you
So I change the appearance of a gear into the nier 51 caster top?
Yeah CMtool
Now how do I use that on the PS4
The NieR gear has pretty unique looks that can only be found in those raids
Extreme is the hardest difficulty right? And savage is like the baby version of that?
No
Ultimate is the hardest difficulty
Savage is the baby version of that
Extreme is easier than savage
unreal/extreme < savage < ultimate
Unreal is just a special class of extreme
Is there any list of Bicolor Gemstone rewards, sorted by the rank they unlock in?
That’s a version of an old extreme fight with values scaled up to current levels
hmm they dont sell mounts in AH ?
ah
Most mounts are character-bound on pickup
Some mounts are tradable
Those purchased from the Firmament, or obtained from Eureka, for example
But those will likely be quite expensive
nut for dusting and coin for twine, or vice versa?
Yes
Pretty much it's main draw
Lv20 minimum for crafters
The rebuild is complete
But it's permanent content
You can get both from nuts or coins completely up to you
Nuts are just an alternative since coins are weekly locked
Is there anything useful I can sink company seals in or can I just overcap them?
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
fortunately I am 
Then you should do your own repairs and stock up on dark matter
bummer I can only buy up to grade 3 
Then you should be sinking them into promotions
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
oh? you use seals for promotions?
Only if you also buy a pc license
Yes, just buy the game again on pc
And I can use my PS4 account?
Yes
What's a PC license
For most promotions
The pc version of the game
Basically you need to own the game on pc as well
Do I get that via mogstation
From the store,or steam
Steam is shit
But whichever version you buy you're locked to
Do most PC players use steam
ah I see. guess I'll have to learn what the hunting log is too now because it wants that for my next promotion
Same as your arr class hunting log
But pays out seals
ohhh
And is needed for progress in your grand company
I thought it had something to do with hunts
No
that makes it way easier. thanks
Doesn't matter, whichever platform you buy the pc license from you HAVE to buy expansions from as well. You're locked to whichever
Is this a question
wrong channel, my apologies
Technically it does because you need to complete it to unlock hunts
the benefit of steam is that you can use your steam wallet to pay
You seem to have made up your mind on which platform you want to use so it doesn't matter
a potential negative could be being bound to steam
Majority of pc gamers use steam
e.g. if you get your steam account locked for whatever reason or if the company dies you also probably lose your ffxiv stuff
are eureka challenges weekly or 1 time complete
Not ff14 players, people who play games on pc in general
Weekly
Your challenge log resets weekly
No exceptions
So no to steam?
so basically pointless trying to level up in eureka without challenges?
It does not matter
No
But challenge log will give you a weekly boost
do you need to be facing your target to hit?
Good luck trying to level up in eureka without the challenge log
You'll automatically face the target using skills
For auto attacks no, for any skills/spells you face the target automatically

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
some people say it's ok, some it's not
It definitely helps but it's not like you can't do anything without it. Especially with that 150% echo
Early levels are basically just leeching off the fate train or mindlessly grinding mobs
Log is the best way to level
Second is fate spam
Third is reflect but for that you need good investment
Pick your poison
And fates aren't auto generated you've to prepare fates
I mean if you're there for relics afaik you'll need to mindlessly grind mobs anyways
I've got to lvl 15 so far, no challenges left. I guess I'll wait for the reset. When is that?
Tuesday
thanks
8am server time every tuesday
If you have server time visible on your hud
where can i go if i want to make a static for ex, savage and ultimates?
About https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/wiki/communities/discord
Where can I enter an invitation link from my large german community FFXIV? Here or dm?
Sorry I can't english. 🙈
r/ffxiv: A community for fans of Square Enix's popular MMORPG "Final Fantasy XIV Online", also known as FFXIV or FF14. The base game starts with "A …
• 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 ?
Buy shadowbringers
There's no way to get the full bundle now
ah alright
if you bought EW already you are stuck waiting, basically
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
ok thanks!
It's mostly there because once Endwalker releases you won't be able to buy shadowbringers on its own any more
i see, i guess i will spend my time slowly with ARR and HS storylines
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?
where can i buy elm log
Market board
Can't input collectors edition codes til release yeah
Or just gather it yourself
!item elm Log
oh cause i just bought whatever mats i needed up to 15lvl craftlog
Guild vendors are only good for the first 15 ish levels of quests
You're on your own after that
so i can progress up to 11-15 with all crafting by just buying the materials
Ish
If PS support doesn't exist for my region
How do I get a refund
Ah. So, since I've already put the code into the site (it let me do that), it'll just show that I have the collector's edition on launch? Good to know. 🙂
Last i checked you can only put in the preorder code atm
You'll be given/allowed the collectors code close/at to launch
Should be fewer than that but probably won't be instant
do you guys use legacy or standard movement setting?
Controller and legacy but everyone is different
Are there differences in the retainer DoW/DoM class I choose? Or are they all equally efficient in getting mats from ventures?
Combat retainers are the same
k
I got the mount already. That was quick.
what are crafter secondary tools, do i need them? cause im clearing my inventory from all the trash that i made
ohu can equip two tools for more stats ok
No, you don't
You just need the level requirement to make the recipe, and good enough stats in some cases
also i bought like 99stacks of materials cause im capped at 300k i hope i will have a use for them later
Sell or desynth
desynth for mats?
Yep
got it
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
When do you unlock Regana in Gangos?
Harass them on twitter?
I don't use twitter
Once you've progressed a relic enough
I've 14 days to get my refund it's already been 3 days
If you want to buy replicas can't until you've progressed far enough into that relic
until augmented or recollection?
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
I've heard a rumor I can get a Cid's beard in Golden Sauce to use with fantasia, is that true
If no one answers we don't know
Idk if there's any facial hair that you get through items in the first place
Pretty sure beards aren’t a thing you can buy
Just hairstyles
Pity. Hyur beards suck
Cid isn't a hyur
I know
And playable garleans probably never cuz lore
I meant I'm playing hyur and have beard irl, but it's not nearly as pathetic as I can have in the game
Depends on sony

There are no unlockable facial hair options
besides the 3 main city hubs, are there similar cities from expansions
Each expansion has 1 major city and 1 endgame hub
Ie heavensward is Ishgard for city, and idyllshire for endgame hub
When would I use Nascent Flash on myself over Raw Intuition?
If you're gonna live through the hit
Nascent basically let's you full heal with some gauge spenders
You use nascent most of the time tbh
!faq nascent
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.
More mathy answer
Beautiful, thank you both.
And of course, you spam that shit in trash pulls
Le casual "I can't die button" with aoes
So Nascent is the default, and Raw Intuition is a pure anti tank buster if other CDs arent enough-thing
More or less
🙇
If you're gonna die - RI
If you're gonna live - nascent
are the end game hubs like the 3 main cities from trial
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.
oh i see
They seem to add in blue bag poetics vendors to the major city once we move on to the next expansion
You would have gotten a ticket number with the auto reply once you sent the initial support message
Ohh I see. So then it seems that I have still wait for next message.
There isn't.. 😦
There's a chance you didn't give the correct email when you opened your support ticket then
Is there any particular timing I want to use Infuriate on? Or just, whenever
Actually they sent me a notification on my e-mail 2 days ago
Don't overcap charges, gauge or use it during inner release. Otherwise use whenever
WAR seems really easy.. thanks.
It would be this number
That's because war is really easy
Tanks are easier simplified dps with mitigation tools instead of more complicated attacks
it's what i got from them 2 days ago
Odd that there's no number there but it might be at the link
my wife told me i was talking about MSQs in my sleep...i think the game has me hooked lol
you mean this? i just got this, so they will send me next message later?
Reply to this with your ticket number
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
Did some playing around with it, why shouldn't I use it during Inner Release?
Because it would be redundant and therefore a waste of a charge
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
Ohh, I thought Infuriate just gave a better version of the attack
It is, with a guaranteed crit direct hit
Aha. And Inner Release does that too, okay, got it.
You're basically double stacking the guaranteed direct crit which is a waste
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
cuz when I go to the hunt board it says that I can't do anything there

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
If you turn them in with a lv80
yes
Aight, cheers
what was the order of crafter gear progression at 80 again
Hunt board access requires quests to unlock them. Usually nearby. But the ones from the board can be done solo. The hunt trains go after the random spawning high rank ones that have no bills associated. Check #resources for a hunt discord server for hunt trains.
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!
If it's your first job, MSQ and dungeons will keep you geared well enough
Gear you get from quest rewards and dungeon drops is fine.
Alrighty, good to know, thanks!
it goes dwarven crafting gear and then what ?
White scrip gear as interim to getting Aesthete.
Aesthete fully pentamelded with materia is the best gear.
i thought there was something after dwarven that could skip scrip gear
if it was over melded
is there an lfg here or at another discord for raids etc
There’s Facet which you shouldn’t be going for
why
Scrip gear is easier to obtain and better
Facet gear is a waste of your time and money
Uhhhm, hypothetically. If I accidentally got rid of the pre order earrings could you get them back from the calamity salvager?
Scrip is the easy option for getting to Aesthete
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
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
You would also have to HQ the facet gear, which might be RNG heavy if you're starting from dwarven gear.
Facet is old BiS, you don’t need to get it any more
so your not telling me how to get scrips after custom deliveries
craft collectables and turn them in
what’s the best turn in for weaver
there's like 2 or 3, check which ones you can craft with your limited access to other crafters
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
i'd reccomend leveling other crafters to 80 before trying to endgame-gear a single one
for white scrips you have 1 option, the lvl 80 turn in
i’m doing that
I am currently mining Dragon Obsidian to sell on the Market Boards. How much will it sell for based on the history?
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
Check the history yourself by viewing the marketboard list and clicking the little page icon in the top right
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
is there a "friend list" feature in this game? I met some nice people and want to note their name
If you don’t have all your crafters levelled there’s questionable point in getting BiS crafters gear
^
i can literally get them 80 in a day
they maybe on another server on the same data center
don’t they all give the same amount of white scrips
yes, but they're not all cost efficient
nvm lol i’ll just find what the best one on weaver is ‘cost efficient’ and go from there
unless you're going to be gathering all of the mats yourself, which then its moot and you can do whatever
Geez. According to the history records. Dragon Obsidian do not sell for a lot.
yep
There is only one option
cost efficiency is if you have MULTIPLE lvl 80 crafters to decide which lvl 80 turn in to do
i usually spam the lemonade for white crafting scrips
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
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?
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
what are the main pros and cons of each NA datacenter?
!faq serverpick
!faq worldpick
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
thanks, sorry for asking such a common question
Crystal datacentre is the role playing hub, smaller raid community
Aether and Primal are both just normal
No problem! you are keeping Kupo Bot employed
quite frankly, crystal's rep is somewhat undeserved
the raiding community IS smaller but not impossible to raid with by any means
Hmm. Will Gyr Abanian Alumen sell well?
Every server has a different economy. You'll have to check your MB and see how its doing on your server.
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.
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
Sweet. Do you know what time in Eorzea Time does it spawn?
12 am and 12 pm
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.
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
Hey all. Fresh 80 - looking to meld Materia but I am a non-crafter. What are my options? Is there an NPC for this?
There are materia melder npcs, but they can't do pentamelding
Materia melders are found in every city market and endgame hub
They can’t overmeld crafted gear but that’s not something you should need to be doing at this point in the expansion anyway
What's pentamelding?
Putting 5 materia into crafted gear
Oh, thus penta
I've been getting my Materia through some MSQ and daily leveling roulette. What's the max Materia lvl?
8
Is it possible to stick a “friends online” window or something on the UI, and if so do most people do this? On multiple occasions I have received tells from friends as soon as I logged on, and am curious as to how they knew.
Is there public communication in ff14?
I just hit 80 so I am not in the novice chat anymore
There's no server wide general chat
Yes
I have a bunch of unsellable + market prohibited white items, what to do with them?
No server wide chat other than novice network
How do you get to talk to people? Just discord and duty finder?
Go to Limsa or Eulmore to chat with randoms in /shout
FCs and linkshells as well
Join a free company and/or linkshells
How do I find linkshells?

i’m assuming that all 4 of the turn ins in SB are given in the crafter quest ?
Yes, they give you the materials to craft the quest items
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
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.
I'm from the EU and I'm in the NA servers, where are the Prime Time Hours? 😅
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?
Normal or bugged? This is for Castrum
how can i login without putting my password everytime
You have to on the standard launcher
fk
How you know if a boss does magical or physical damage?
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
how can i gear my alts for low levels like 30 and 50s
Oh I completely forgot I was in his party LMFAO
it was me this whole time
at 30 you can just buy vendor gear if you need it. At 50, spend Tomestones of Poetics on the Ironworks gear
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
hello, pretty sure a few ppl tend to ask this, i googled but didn't really get an answer. i have 1gb net but downloading with 3 mb/s, is it intented? my friend downloaded it with 120 mb/s yesterday so its sus for me
So all aoe is considered magic?
Can we do the other cities early MSQs later on? I am about to finish with Gridania, and learnt all the starting cities have different MSQs.
thanks
No, just most raidwides happen to be magic
No, you’d have to make separate characters to see those
Oh 😦 Thank you for the answer
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
Ohh ok I see, cause I switch to tank main and was not sure when to use all of drk magic resist buffs
The standard launcher can be kinda garbage at downloading sometimes. You can either try a VPN or the third party quick launcher gives better speeds for some people
!faq quicklauncher
appreciated!
ik all healers are good but who has good dmg buffs
As PLD, should I use Intervene after my prepull Holy Spirit, or just sprint and run up to the boss, using both intervenes in fof?
Astro has the most damage buffs out of the healers
Under FoF
Is there a way to get to level 30 really fast so I can just do all the job quest on my main? Usually leveling guides don't show how to level to 30 or is story just the fastest way
👍
went from 3 mb to 150, appreciated 
Do the main story.
does anyone have a rough estimate on how long it would take to get one of the eureka armor sets with the glow, assuming that i haven't played eureka at all?
i've got another question, we wanna start playing in a 3men group, any fancy setups with good synergy?
Ok thanks that's what I thought
Dungeons are 1 tank, 1 healer and 2 dps so keep that in mind
Otherwise there's no real Synergies outside of just stacking raid buffs
aye, our end goal would be having a white mage, red mage + a tank
is titan jumping a magic damage raidwide
That fine
What would be a good starter class for a beginner
ty!
Any class is fine for beginners
ngl i enjoyed bard and summoner when i got to play them
In ffxiv mobile app, what is it use for?
At the start it depends on what you prefer to start with tbh
You can play them all sooner or later so it's about what you enjoy more
Buying and selling things on the app
Thanks

Hmm? Like how?
The app let's you buy things off market board and sell from.your retainers
You can put things up on the market board or buy things off the market board while you're not logged in
Which each cost a nut
they tied it to a currency so you can't do it nonstop
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
is there a way to try a class that already level 60 or higher a trial ?
No
then how can i level my ast lv30 fast
What Aura said.
Follow that.
outdated ?
still works

Hey! I have a Bard QUest that wants me to deliver a materia-enhanced bow. I've gotten the bow, does that mean I just have to fill up the Materia slots via meld?
You need to meld the specific materia specified in the quest journal objective
Correct type and number rank
The (Stormblood) just means that it was last updated at the end of SB. It's still accurate.
But basically just do your daily leveling roulette, then spam your highest level dungeon (excluding level 50 dungeons) until you get to 60.
pvp roulette is also good, as well as alliance and MSQ if you have the time/unlocked them
If they're starting from 30, MSQ/Alliance roulette doesn't do much good.
Daily roulette then highest level dungeon spam
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)

is i515 AST relic bis for tea?
ye
Yes because you can put the substats in a way that they don't get brought down
Thus having more than usual
the 535 wont add any more substats to that right?
It should yes
balance hasn't updated that then
is there a way to get the ui size to look the exact same switching from 1080p to 1440p?
can viera wear the angelic circlet?
I bought all retainer and compaion app. so I got 10 retainer. but I have question thats, if I buy game time Subscription, 30days or more, do I have to click/buy retainer service and compaion app again? or will they charge $ for them when I buying Subscription?
Try the High Rez UI setting in the display settings? I scale mine to 125% I think on 1440p, but I didn't play on 1080 previously, so I'm not sure if it's the same
does discord has fc channel to recruite
Retainer fees are rolled into your monthly subscription price.

Is there anyway to track the Fate for the Ixion mount?
doesn't work
They're down below
So I will pay auto when I buy Subscription?
thanks
If you have it set up for auto renew, then yes.
Just 1.
2 or 3 I think

Memoria gives a chunk cause it's just for glamour stuff
Ohh, right, Memoria's just glamor.
memoria was 2
diamond for bad players hahaha
dia is because it's also a long ass fight with no checkpoint
then idk
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
so the devs were like "lets throw them a bone"
not like it'll be done a lot when 5.55 comes out
Hi i just started the game and would like to know if you can join a free company cross-world in the same data center ?
nope, only on your server
no, fcs are still world based
oh i see
are augmented deep shadow stuff available for purchase directly? or is it still nuts for normal, then nier raid coin to augment?
do anyone know a english speaking world beside tonberry and kujata for Elemental datacenter ?
you still have to go thru the augment process
Anyone else have an issue with the world map flickering when they move their character? Like there are shaded spots on the map that flicker, not the map window.
Can you post a screenshot of it?
The map going semi transparent when you move is normal. You can turn it off with this button
I know some spells are merged/transition, EG: Ruin II into Ruin IV when you get the Proc.
But is there any Macro or something to do DWT into Deathflare?
Is there a way to set up a chat macro to enter the text but not send automatically (so I can edit first)?
@strange coral Here i made a quick video
No
Sad
Oh I see now. I've never seen that before
Generally shouldn't be using macros in combat
Exceptions would be for odd ogcds or ones with areas to be placed like asylum and salted ground
what is a class quest? ive been doing the main quest and im level 12, but my brother told me to do class quest. im gladatoir rn but ima go for rouge when i get access to that city. do i need to do class quest for rouge?
A quest related to your class/job
how do i do them
what best way to farm Haunting Memory of the Dying
and Vexatious Memory of the Dying
?
What's the no mercy CD 60?
oh
Yes
Fates while queing
is augmented cryptlurker the next step after (agmented) exarchic?
do i need to do them to be a rouge?
Yeah if i cant figure out why this game is flickering now i cant play it. That is just too distracting and not worth torturing myself with
Hey i'm a returning player and i'm currently on a quest called Shadows of the first, how far have i got into the story currently ?
diamond EX? I'll have to look that up. thanks
You need to do your lv10 class quest to take other jobs
you're close ish to Stormblood, which is about halfway through total MSQ
yeah i havent done any ima do that now
so like 45%
Do you know of any good videos of story summary ?
not really
most skip a lot of good details that help flesh out the story
the stuff you're doing now sets up both SB and ShB story
What order are the expansions ?
MSQ is linear so you're doing them in order anyways
its long but worth it
if i get the 15/month i get all the expansions with it right?
No. Starter edition includes HW. Shadowbringers includes SB and ShB.
Complete edition includes all
how much is the complete edition per month?
Edition doesn't affect sub price
The sub price doesn't change
!faq subprice
so the standered comes with everything?
No, sub price does not cover expansions. Expansions are a one-time purchase
Standard just let's yoy have more characters
oh, so i have to buy the subcriptions and the expensions? thats kinda wack
Buy the game and expansion then you sub
wait what? i have to buy the game? than whats the point of the subcriptions
It's a subscription based game
Buy to play and sub
Without a sub you can't keep playing after the time is up
yeah so could i just buy the sub?
No
you need to own the game first before you can sub
bruh
The game also has a very generous free trial that covers the base game and first expansion with some limitations
could you use that as the base game?
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.
20 dollar Base game
40 dollar expansion
12 per month after the free 30days is up
why tf do you have to buy a game that your paying monthly to play
To keep the servers running and people paid
And avoid p2w microtransactions
And a good update cycle
why not just make the base game free and have a more expensive per month
It's the same payment model as WoW. I know some other MMOs don't but those tend to have other monetization.
It's easier to pay a small sub per month
its littarly 75% of the base game per month, to play the game that you bought
Its an mmo with a subscription based model
In exchange there is a massive amount of content
this isn't the place to complain about the subscription model....
Its has always been like this
If you don't like it then don't play. Don't complain about it here
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.
how do i know how much exp bonus do i have
It's the bracketed number next to the xp gain
it usually tells you the percentage increase next to the xp gain
i cant see it
Kill a mob and check the xp gain system messages
In the chat log, you'll get something like 100 exp gained (+100%)
so its 240 dollars to buy the game, and then play for a year with the expansion?? so fucking wack
ok then what should i stack here
oki
you're basically paying for your spot on the server
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
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
pay for the sub when you wanna play, unsub when you don't
60 + 156(per year) is 216. it cost 156 dollars to play a year + the base game with expensions
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
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
Honestly, I’d just resub for events I wanna do or new patches
if we're really out here doing stretch mathematics about scale and pricing

just paying 60 dollars for a game that you have to pay 15 dollars a month to even play is just so stupid
ok
ok, i woulnt cya.
then dont do it? I dont care that dont like it.
we're stopping this here before it gets out of hand
Can viera's change ears at the aesthetician?
Is buying the game on steam alright
no @slim mango
aw
Yes, but you'll be locked to Steam for all future expansion purchases.
You won't be able to take advantage of any SE store sales.
Where would you recommend then
If you want to play on PC, I would recommend buying from the SE store.
steam or thru SE's store is fine, just depends on whether you're ok with not having sales as often
Steam is fine if you don't mind being locked to Steam.
If I bought it through the se store could I still run the game through steam?
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
No. You'd use the standard PC launcher rather than the Steam launcher.
is diamond ex doable with a random party or do I need a premade for that to actually play it for the weapon?
Can I use my steam wallet to buy the subscription
Yes
Yes
You can't really get queued DF parties for EX content as a rule, so you'd want a premade just on principle.
Exs are PFable...and diamond is equal Ruby and Emerald in terms of their easyness
Diamond has literally 2 mechanics at the end if the fight
Rest the time he just stands there
haven't done ruby or emerald so I unfortunately can't really gauge it
Pretending to do things
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
the "hardest" things I've done so far were the second nier raid and e4
All the weapons have been really easy this expansion
Basically, the answer is "you have to use PF, but it doesn't matter if you know the people you're in PF with"
the complexity of mechanics for diamond are quite low
You shouldn't try to use DF for EX trials.
there's a difference between PF and DF?
Yes
oh
DF is the random queues. PF is where people make parties and post them.
ah, I see
so if i play on steam and accidentally bought new expac via the SQE website. is there no way to link it? or have to get refund and then buy on steam ?
Duty Finder vs. Party Finder
Correct
Do i need to buy expansions before i can start playing? Or can i access everything but the expansions without buying them?
how do I access the PF?
The Standard Edition (and free trial) of the game include ARR and the first expansion, HW, so you can play through the end of the Heavensward expansion with either of those.
think im F'd i already unlocked the key ...
would someone be willing to share their keymappings that doesnt use an mmo mouse? if its not allowed here id gladly take it via dms
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.
I basically have 1-5, Q, E, R, F, G, Z, V without a mod, with CTRL, and with Shift
look in #protips-and-ui and filter it by image
Where can i find the "standard edition"? I only see complete edition and shadowbringers?
does that mean there are times where you have to hit shift AND 5 at the same time for example?
while moving???
lol
having small hands really hurts right now XD
The "Starter Edition" down at the bottom.
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
Well, that's the EU page, but pick your version of the store.
There's the NA store.
Hm okay but i can buy the complete edition for 39€
Yes.
So i should just buy that one instead
The complete edition includes Shadowbringers
So if you're ready to get the full game, then the Complete Edition is a good buy.
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
Click the red circle with the “P” and Party Finder should be the top option
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.
!faq freetrial
ah gotcha thanks
So for a new player, what server would you recommend or does it not really matter
(eu)
!faq worldpick
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
ah i see okay
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.
gotcha okay just wanted to make sure i dont join a "dead" server hah
No such thing
None of the servers are dead
Cool cool good to know
Everything is cross play
Content is cross-world, and the level sync system for instances means that required content is always being played.
is there a way to rearrange the party list after disconnecting->reconnecting?
/psort
thanks
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.
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.
writes down thank you I'll use this next time
can also do it by opening the social menu
Can you disable damage numbers from party?
Pop up text turns off party members damage, buff pop ups and your dotd
Flying text is your damage
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
any hints or a command where i can find the next npc/quest ?
ideally want to keep party to limited so yo ucan see ground aoes
can turn others to off
ya show all makes my eyes bleed heh
does ff14 have something like loot drops from raid activities or such?
Yes, except for some normal mode trials
where to buy good gear for level 30s and higher
City vendors in the market area
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.
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?
ty
Raelys has difficulty, card pools and rewards https://triad.raelys.com/npcs
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)
I guess I should find some cards to buy before carrying on though.
Is Nier Raid 3 capped at one item per week?
I got my conf email like a couple hours after I placed my order.
One cluster, one coin and one other piece of gear
Guess my order didn't get processed properly then...sigh
One piece of gear per week. There's no restriction on cards, hair and rolls.
Despite me getting the message at the end
Cluster and coin are guaranteed for completing it though
on the duty finder page
It says 2/3 on The duty finder
it says reward out of 3
when does mogstation have sales?
Everyone and their mother is preordering now, so servers may be overwhelmed. I'd write support if you don't get your email by tomorrow.
did it just reset?
It resets Tuesday
it resets on Tuesday?
whenever SE feels like it
Oh ok
It was preordered the moment it was up though.
Oh. Ouch. Then yeah, support.
I also don't see the money debited from my paypal
You can try checking the purchase history page on the store site. If the code is ready there's a button there to show it
is camp dragon head the only place with 35-45 fates ?
Unfortunately I checked out as guest because it was impossible to log in
there are more 45+ than anything tbh
Nope, every beast tribe area has 40-ish fates, plus north thanalan and mor dhona iirc
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.

i’m just doing them in the meantime while spamming dungeons for my dps
Have you tried potd? You might have better luck with queue times.
i’m about to do that shit right now because these dates are killing meeeee
THANKS
You could also pass the time with gathering, crafting, class quests, side content or relics.
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
all servers are pretty equal
Community on the whole is prety newbie friendly too
highly unlikely you get harassed for being bad
we like our sprouts! i needed so much help when i started hahaha
and if you do then report them
people HAVE gotten banned for harrassing people.
Oh okay nice. Yeah I don't know much about the FFXIV community. Coming from wow I assume people will flame you, lol
this game is nothing like wow
this isnt wow
we try to be as no-toxic as possible
Well that's good to hear 😅
if you say "hey first time here" people will help you out and be friendly
what's the best way to level a 2nd class?
!faq altlvlguide
i only leveled my white mage so far and i'm almost level 70 but soon (maybe when i completed the story) i want to start a 2nd class, probably DPS
thank you!
btw, stuff like DPS meters doesn't exist in this game, right?
they do
not in game
!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.
only with mods
ooh i see
and are against TOS, but its more of a "dont be a dick and you'll be fine"
lol fair
dont talk about it in game
Pre order code showed invalid anyone know whats goin on ?
ah, wait, I still gotta pick a grand company. I don't know what to pick because I don't know what I'm getting myself into in a gameplay sense
they dont affect gameplay
all 3 are the same
pick your favorite color
is 2.46 GCD on SAM at lvl 80 bad?
i think the SKS on the balance is like 2.42 but that takes shifu into effect
I just came back to the game and my NIN is ilvl 476, I guess I should just keep doing MSQ until I unlock higher ilvl dungeons to gear up ?
so i'd checl there
you can just buy 510 gear on the MB
It's a bit expensive and I can only buy a few pieces
then keep doing MSQ
Alright, I wanted to do the 3rd Nier raid but I don't have enough ilvl
I picked the twinn addler
make sure you server hop for better prices
And buy gear with tomes
Oh I didn't know I could do that
how do i get access to ishgard after the main story lvl 50?
Do more main story
If you want free-ish gear you can farm pieces from the last 4 fights of Eden and exchange them for 510 gear
You're not done until you see the giant HEAVENSWARD logo
to use Recruit-a-Friend reward i need to buy the game first right ?
yes
that's a shame because I kinda want to get to level 60 before start my air time 😦
Is it possible to reach cap from level 30 before Endwalker?
You literally have 6 months
Very
You can probably cap every job by then
I started playing last July I was up to date on story before christmas
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
