This won't be the most popular view point, Akira, but
XIVanalysis be like "Sir have you ever tried NOT DYING?"
If you get grey on your first, or first couple clears? Who cares, you cleared!
pink also needs some more good coordinations from your team than not-pink afaik ... not a must must but that's usually the case ...
Is there a damage meter in game anywhere? Or any other addons?
not in game
Add-ons, in the form of ACT (Advanced Combat Tracker)
its a third party tool
!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.
Right now, focus on progression, and getting your BiS. Parses will come if you put in the effort to improve and optimize. But at your level, getting the boss dead is far far far more of a climb and don't feel bad about a grey on a clear--many players don't see the clear.
That said, you might actually find it easier to get the relic before E12S weapon if you have the time (and haven't already cleared E11S yet)
And doing that will make getting those first clears easier.
Thanks, I do plan to work on my parses, and also getting relic
But yeah, I guess clear is still much more important than parse
Prog is, ultimately, more important.
if you get big parse but dont get the clear whats the point
Yeah, still, as a MCH, I'm kinda the "the only utility provided is damage" type of DPS
at least thats what it seems like to me
Damage + Tactician I guess
ranged samurai
MCH has Tactician which is great for prog
Yeah, 11s doggy uptime stuff
You're doing fine.
Yeah, I guess I have to start somewhere
Exactly.
Getting Blue Parses on first clear is weird too lol
Kinda is, yeah, lol
But yeah, xivanalysis is like "HAVE YOU TRIED NOT DYING BEFORE!"
What level do you have to be to get a choboco
15 I think
As in MSQ lv 15
to be fair, that's really good advice.
And yeah, seriously that is your first goal anyways
Yeah, I guess that's true, pretty much for all jobs, not dying is definitely more important than uptime lol
!faq mounts
'When can I get my first mount?'
The quest that allows you to use mounts, 'My Little Chocobo' is unlocked by completing the level 20 main story quest 'The Company You Keep'. The quest is located at the Grand Company base you chose and you'll need to buy the Chocobo Issuance from your Grand Company Quartermaster. You can get the 200 needed Grand Company seals by doing the main story quest that comes after 'The Company You Keep'.
'Are there any differences between mounts?'
Besides looks, all mounts are the same speed along with being able to fly. Some mounts allow multiple people to ride at once.
'Can I make my mount faster?'
Zones have one or two ranks of mount speed that increase the ground speed of mounts. The first rank comes from completing specific quests in the main scenario quests, with the second rank coming from Riding Maps which are bought with either Allied Seals, Centurio Seals, or Bicolor Gemstones. Mount Speed Boosts do not increase the flying speed of mounts.
Not dying IS uptime
Right, Dying is like THE ultimate downtime lol
you can slowly make it through potd with df parties right? 10 floor at a time requeue etc
will the manticore help in potd
is eden farming capped to one item per week
So hang in there, you're doing fine, and ultimately, you're gonna do fine. Make mistakes, learn from them, and I wish you skill in your future prog. (seriously though, relic weapon might be the better option if you haven't E12S clears yet)
Yeah, quite a lot of people do it
how do i use it
or just the antique sword?
Eden Normal is no longer locked
Yeah I think sword might still be
If you're on PotD step, 15 DR clears is easy, just do 2-3 a day
Space it out as to not burn out.
just the blade
does floor 9-12 drop relatively the same shit
!faq edenloot
mm ill still do potd for rdm leveling
Thanks, and yeah, it's a long way to go.
I do feel I'm getting better. Not sure if the ability to flex counts, but I pretty much jump into a PF or a new static, and play any of the 5 roles now lol.
Maybe I'm adjusting too much tough, I should probably consider focusing on getting better more on a single class?
There's worth to either approach. I specialize, but I can't replace or adjust if we are down a healer or tank. Our tank can, which makes him more flexible.
Which map has better drop rates for belah'dian silver?
for SAM, should you get the slaying accesories for the ironworks gear?
thx
Yeah. FEnding accessories without tenacity are also valid, but there's no need to care really.
I see, I main MCH, and I feel like I can do really perfect rotation with oGCDs used in less than 0.5s they come off CD now.
However my biggest problem is my rotation becomes bad in fights I'm not familiar with... Mostly due to bad habit of staring at Hotbars
As in, as a MCH, I should be able to play almost blindfolded lol, but I still relay on Hotbars too much
The only solution to that is to practice practice practice.
Yeah, weird plugins like XIV Combo are definitely not mandatory to be a good player right?
Honestly, you're fine, there's a lot of savage raiders that have that as well.
God no
I see
lol
I recently found out about it, and I just don't want to use it because I don't want to redesign my hotbars again lol
Don't worry about being 'a good player', you're working on savage kills, mate, you're already doing good player things.
thanks lol
dont think there are any real drop rates for those, would probably just go with whatever is cheapest between boar and peisteskin
good evening everyone! i'm about to go from free trial to subscription and am wondering if anyone would like to be my friend for recruit a friend benefits
(first to message me will get it)
I just noticed Analysis Sensi be like, "Why are you breaking your combos?"
That said, the next two fights are a lot harder than the first two, so you'll have good time to get used to them and master early steps while working on later ones
Yeah, on the bright side, I did clear 8s without any problem (other than spending a lot of time), albiet it was on AST
anyone 🙂
could anyone help me find a free company im new to the game lvl 34
Is it possible for a Macro to trigger another Macro, or does that get into "Do not do this" territory? (for Crafting)
Dude if you can clear 8sy you're fine
its just not possible
Ok, thx
You might want to check out the r/FFXIVrecruitment subreddit. You can either post on there that you’re looking for one with your server/data center and discord tag, or look for one that’s already posted on there and is recruiting.
ok ill do that, thanks it means a lot i dont really play mmorpgs but this one is cool
No problem, sometimes you’ll have to look a while to find the right group of people but I’m sure you’ll find them eventually
Can I use my lvl 1 goldsmith to desynth stuff to gain levels on goldsmith desynth skill?
Desynth can't be used until your crafting class is level 30 or higher
so even though i have a lvl 80 other crafters the desynth one needs to be 30 at least?
Yeah 30 is the bare minimum and there are no workarounds unfortunately.
The memphina earrings effect deep dungeons xp gain right
quick question with regards to buying endwalker from the SE store, how does it work? do you buy it then they send you a code or something that you put into mogstatoin? PC by the way, non-Steam.
just make sure you login to the store using this account @fast talon
so the store will be able to know which region you are playing and direct you to the right one
(why is facebook an option lol)
you know its weird that when i did log into the SE store the other day it took me to the EU store
are there any like free codes that you can put in for bonus stuff?
but my account's address is at least US
if you use the guest account which some people usually do, you might buy from the wrong store region and you'll get the code that you can't use
but the thing is to get the game origially, i used the "upgrade from free trial" option on mogstation, so i actually dont know what region my game is
is there a way for me to check what region my game is?
through your SE(mogstation) account
the store will auto-detect if you use above option
yeh, the step after that you just check your purchase history and you'll get your code there
and you enter the code here

and you will get confirmation that you will get pre-order bonus etc
and since you are not on Steam, you will only get 1 code (Steam gets multiple)
alright cool, now this is a bit more specific of a question and im not sure if you'll know the answer, but does my paymention information (Paypal/CC) have to match the address i put in for my SE account? 'cause i had to use a US address of a relative to register my SE account 'cause SE doesnt acknowledge my country's existence
guys how can i fix this 
Press the arrow on the bottom hotbar
thanks
if you want to optimize your rotation, yeah
especially once you get continuation
but i think the balance has low-ping variants of some jobs, gnb included, for those that cant
or high ping rather
Is the duty roulettes for main scenarios worth it with a random party or just better with people you know
I just noticed that this is the questions thread and should have asked here instead. But thanks to the people that helped me out anyway. 😄
which job has your favorite class story quest?
returning player question: haven't played a looong time and want to come back and start fresh.....but i always hated how "simple" the early game is, what class would suffer the least from it?
is deep dungeon a good way to level up
@lean iris none
😦 the early game is truly the biggest barrier of entrance to the game, guess i can just play while netflixing lol
like duty roulette msq, the two final dungeons of ARR? i dont think it really matters who youre with but being with friends could make it a little less tedious i guess
Is dark knight SHB content?
is there anyone else you can buy bozja replicas from aside from regana? the ones she sells doesnt glow
No, it's HW but the jobs introduced in HW are locked out until you get to that expansion
This is not the case for jobs that came with future expansions.
you can unlock it by finishing arr and unlocking foundation
I didn't mean unlock. Was it introduced with shb?
No, its heavensward
no hw
Oh
the jobs introduced in ShB were dancer and gunbreaker
Ty
it just so happens that dark knight is like the mascot/poster boy for ShB
in the same way that Endwalker's is paladin
and hw is dragoon
might want to disable hotbar cycling so this doesnt happen again 
This isn't an item right?
It's just a system function it seems
its a consumable
I see, I couldn't find it, but then notice I could do it now lol
Also is it possible to power level with a friend to 15?
probably
Do people queue for Alexander - fist of the father? Just got the quest and Im curious to do it
yeah or you can make a duty completion PF for it :>
yes
I can't use de Party finder on the free trial.
I tried
but not all of it i imagen
yes all of it
well
fist of the father should pop relatively quickly since it’s the first one in the raid series
just sit tight
casual content is done in duty finder
Is the mechanics the im worry
its casual content its piss easy'
i dont know hahaah. raids in destiny are that easy

If it's not labeled as Extreme or Savage it's not really designed to be remotely difficult
Even for the most recently raid? I assume the because Alexander is a older ones it would be easier for the players more advanced tha I'm .
you can do pretty much everything *casual blind without a guide
being old doesnt mean its easier
but you still need to pay attention
in older casual content you get less instant death mechanics
the attacks hit less bc of gear scaling
generally follow other ppl if you’re not sure
look at the bosses’ animations & use common sense
is 173 good exp bonus or i can rise more
Okay, can someone tell me why, after I pin hairstyles in the aestethtician menu, those hairstyles don't stay pinned the next time I open the menu?
because they dont save
Why?
What the fuck is the point of pinning hairstyles if they don't save?
That's fucking stupid.
to compare them in that session
Ok. Because I'm sure someone said do not queue for raids(not the alliance ones) when I saw a video about Binding Coil of Bahamut.
that only applies for coils
Do you get veteran rewards if you sub with crysta?
Oh....
@mental oracle yes
ty
yes coils is savage by default, there is no normal version
all other 8 man raids have a normal version and savage version
coils was made back when the devs were first experimenting w endgame content
Same with Odin. I remember someone saying that to for it
odin is extreme by default
Gotcha
please correct me if im wrong or in a good path for leveling alts
- stack exp buffs
- do your daily roulette once perday
- spam the highest dungeon you can enter
- while que do fates and hunting log
thats it ?
50s ?
any level cap
what should i do once reach lv 50 then
the 47 dungeon aurum vale
after that the 51 lv dungeon from hw ?
So, do Aetherial weapons exist still? If they do, where can they be gotten from?
so my path is correct i just need to add beaast tribes ?
basically
if i get the game with a europe key
at 71 you can do bozja
wioll it work in US
not if your account is a US account
someone told me u can switch data centers and then switch back
that has nothing to do with the license
if you have an NA account you need an NA license
thanks for the help
ty
What is the point of getting gerolts masterwork when ironworks gears are simply better??
Older raids then current tend to be slightly easier because most people will be at maximum sync for them, but it's not a huge difference
Glamour at this point
how can i hide side quests from my map
you cant
annoyying.
lol. Ty
do people do side quests
yes
a returning player
Returning players who have been gone for 45+ days.
and the leaf for new players ?
How long is the MSQ? About 150 - 200 hours?
probably
Yeah, hence the term "sprout" when referring to new players.
Over 200
i see
I see, about 150 - 300 I guess
thanks
If I need Allegory for gear upgrade, Lv 80 roulette is a nice source right?
yes
yes
yes
Controller support is excellent in this game, yeah. And yes you can.
Is there an option to change button prompts to ABXY?
There is, yes.
in the controller settings
!faq controller
Anyone know a cheap way to buy Shadowlander
Do you mean Shadowbringers?
if you're on windows check other retailers
Wait for a sale from an official retailer
if you're on steam nope
Uhh so I've disconnected mid-dungeon and I can't stay connected even for 1 min when I reconnect, now what am I supposed to do lol
Key reselling sites like g2a are not trustworthy
that sounds like a problem with your internet
when archer becomes bard.... does the character just like, fire an arrow using the harp's strings as a bowstring?
Use a VPN or contact your isp
Can I like remove myself from the party?
How low would the price of shadowbringer get since endwalker is coming out
They’ll kick you eventually
@pallid bluff bards use bows
Alright
goddamnit
using a harp as a bow would be the most metal thing i've ever seen
!iglam berimbau
There are several options like this
👀
!iglam gandiwa
!iglam edenchoir harp bow
!iglam edenchoir harp bow
There are a couple bard skills in which they take out a harp or a flute to play a song and, yeah, those bows that resemble instruments.
what does you feel a powerful mark mean? just got told that at camp dragonhead
An S rank has spawned in the zone
How afk is crafting? been looking to get into some DoH stuff after returning as I've only messed around with DoL before, but I play other games and it seems like crafting in ff14 has some element of afk'ness to it, would be nice to be able to do it while playing other stuff.
Worth attending if you're at least a level 50.
i got blasted by a level 50 bunny thing in shroud.... i was level 51
all right il check it out
you cant solo S ranks
oh
theyre made for like 30+ people to fight
How long after starting the craft do you have until you need to click again?
they just call out the location?
and then people start running over?
is it hard to get the augmented lost allagan helm of fending and that set outside of this moogle event?
Crafting classes have their own full rotations to worry about. Some of it can be macro'd, yes, but it can't be fully afk'd unless you're using the mass produce option.
Hmm, that would probably still work for me.
@fading helm no
so its better to just get the mounts then huh
none of thegear is hard to get
I'm not looking to super optimize profits or anything, just something to do on the side to make a little extra gil while playing other stuff/watching mvoies etc
oh
if youre looking to make a lot of gil then you need to get the best crafting gear
How would I go about getting Weathered Estoqueur's Bliaud? D:
from msq
It says Grenoldt is involved but not much other than that
you get it from him after doing the role quest
Speak to Grenoldt after completing mage role quests
Not looking to make a tonne, just some extra in times I otherwise wouldn't be playing. Also gives me the opportunity to level the jobs for properly crafting when I do have the time
I heard that beginners should equip their job stone, what is a job stone, why should I equip it and where do I have one?
you get a job stone when you upgrade to your job
!faq job
To unlock your class' job you need to be level 30, complete all of your class quests and the main scenario quest 'Sylph Management' (lvl 20 quest) to be able to pick up your job unlock quest. Once you've done the initial unlock quest, you will be given a soul crystal which you must equip to become your class' job.
A job is simply an upgrade to your base class at level 30
ah I see, thanks
thm becomes blm right?
Yes
is it possible to change the color of my friends in my free companies name above their head
i think i worded that wrong but i think it makes sense
character config > display name settings
Does refer friend works if my friend is 3lvl or he has to use the code when registering
Works as long as they haven’t bought subscription
!faq blmleveling
make it shared in character config > hotbar
Can we refer a friend each other?
quick question not played in a long time and just started a Gunbreaker, which zones/areas do i hit fates in while waiting queues? next MSQ is at 63 with susano so can't progress yet
@fading helm you need to make the mount hotbar shared
you dont make all hotbars shared
Ruby Sea will have the highest level fates, but the Peaks and Fringes are still good
how do i do that
Though since you’re a tank you’re probably better off just doing sirensong sea a couple times to hit 63
3 but when i tick it nothing happens
do i have to be in the class that has the hotbar
ty boss, not high enough ilvl for that yet
...I highly recommend you get to that item level, since that’s what the story expects you to be at.
So if you’re lower than that and past the sirensong sea, you should get it up.
Buying ilevel 270 accessories should be your priority you can get them with poetics in idyllshire or foundation
what are the chances to drop Luminous crystal once complete a fate
Aiming only has an eye patch I think
Haven't played in a party outside of levequests yet- does everyone in a party get the same drops from defeated enemies? Does someone get drops if they didn't do damage? I'm wanting to farm for aldgoat skins so I can work on Leathermaking
ooof the eye patch sucks
do u know if there are any makss like that but for aiming?
that look similiar
Not in that particular style afaik
its not working ) : i checked hotbar 3
so aside from monk/puglist, what are other "decent" early game classes that aren't mindblowingly boring?
and its not coming up
@fading helm does it still change when you switch classes
None. All jobs start out very slow
now its gone when i change classes
screenshot your settings
Even monk is just two 1-2-3 combos for a very long time
like even the least bad of teh bunch is barely better than the rest ?
i always wonder why FFXIV early game feels so...archaic ? i don't think other modern mmos suffer as heavily as ff does in terms of early game rotation
They are all good and all of them have at least an okay complexity at 80
It's just that XIV tries to be very noob friendly
Is carpenter good for lancer?
crafters arent tied to classes
No job benefits solely from one crafter
trying to deceide to start fresh after not playing a long time, wondering if DRG or MNK early on
Oh ok, thanks guys. Guess ill give it a try!
Both of them will be rather boring until 60 or so. Though monk hardly even changes after that, just gets faster and a bit more weaving
how do you get the preorder bonuses for EW off the psn store
do you not get the bonus if you get it off the psn store?
Preorder on the PS store then when you sign in on PS4 it'll ask yoh to confirm and add to your service. You'll get the earring and minion from post moogle
you do to that off the mogstation or what
what exactly is "maximum" for character and object quantity? does it vary per rig?
Nah you can do it all from the PS4
Then you open FFXIV on the PS4. Sign in. You'll get a pop up to confirm that you purchased Endwalker. Then play. You'll get them from the post moogle
It’s handled in the background by PSN. Just need to sign in to the client and once you see that registration screen, you should be good to go.
I think that was very specific, haven't said anything new there 🤣
if anyone wants to q up for The Dying Gasp so I can finish Shadowbringers and go to sleep... that'd be cool
ah ok
that makes sense now
thank you
sorry this is for my bf, i play on pc so idk how it works
I recommend going to sleep. The trial is part of trial roulette but most people dont queue for that with lvl 80 jobs
So long queue times are a given I'm afraid
Better to finish the game when you can actually enjoy it
How would i go about finding an AU guild on the Elemental DS?
I didn't exactly know where to ask this so I'll try asking here, has anyone ever sent a direct support ticket to SE about a game issue and if yes how long did it take?
I’m not certain. Game related issues, I’ve never had to submit a ticket. The last time I had to report a problematic player, it took about an hour for a GM to contact me about it. Gameplay related reports are foreign to me unfortunately.
Question, trying to use the community finder now however its still showing that im a trial account even though I Upgraded yesterday. Any way around this?
Lodestone can be a little slow to update sadly
Nothing to do but wait, yeah
I've been waiting four days, it's murder
Is control a crafting stat?
Yes
Thank you
Oh, very nice
Craftsmanship is the one for synthesis actions, and CP is well, CP
I see!
Thanks for the info btw
When do you get your free fantasia? Completing ARR?
base arr yes
Also can you change tattoos without Fantasia?
If you hit a certain level, does leveling second job from scratch gets faster? If so is there any indication how much faster it gets?
Like % of xp gained gets bigger or requirements are lower?
Ones that aren't from gear
As long as you are 1 level below your max level job you get 50% bonus I think
is there something like a transmorg in this game like in wow?
!faq armourybonus
'How do I get the bonus experience from the Armoury?'
As long as you're playing a Disciple of War or a Disciple of Magic class that's a lower level than your highest level class then you're able to benefit from the bonus experience. You do not need to have a class at level 80 for the bonus to be active.
'How much is the bonus experience?'
You get +100% experience from levels 1 to 69, which then reduces to +50% for level 70 to 79. The difference in level between your current class and highest class does not change the amount of experience you get.
!faq glamour
'What is Glamour and how do I unlock it?'
Glamour is the process of changing an equipment's look into a different item with the use of Glamour Prisms. You can unlock the ability to glamour by doing the level 15 quests 'If I Had a Glamour' in Vesper Bay, West Thanalan. Although not required, you can unlock the ability to dye gear with the nearby quest 'Color Your World'. You can get the Orange Juice needed by talking to the nearby Merchant & Mender. Items used for glamouring are not lost upon use.
'How do I glamour? Where do I get more Prisms?'
Glamouring is done by right-clicking (Square or X on controllers) on the equipment you want to glamour and choosing the option 'Cast Glamour'. After clicking this you choose the item you want the appearance on the right half of the menu that opened up. You can get more Glamour Prisms by either crafting them after completing the quest 'Absolutely Glamourous', buying them from your Grand Company Quartermaster, or buying them from the marketboard.
There are tattoos from Gear‽!
Some arm/chest pieces have sleeve tattoos instead of sleeves
Do note that leveling your second job will still be slower than your first
I see
Because you cant do the msq again, which is by far the easiest and best source of xp
A friend got a huge tattoo oh his face on his new character
I was wondering if he could change it for free lol
Not til he unlocks the aesthetician in limsa

no it's sidequest
It's just a bunch of fetch quests
Is there any hidden general/trade chat or does people do not speak in the cities in general?
thanks
Idk but you need to unlock the other cities first to even finish it
kk
There is /shout which covers the entire map
General just isn't a channel in and of itself it just has most chat channels in it
Which is used for various things in cities, like FC advertisement or whatever
Uh../
what can i do with company seals i got it capped
Thank Kat!
Also wanted to ask if you can have like a permanent house for yourself
A smoll flat
That will not be gone if you will not log in for s certain amount of time
I'm not 100% sure about the apartments but regular housing plots do get demolished if 45 days pass without the owners not visiting
Does leveling roulette not give you any further xp after claiming the reward?
It does
what can i do with company seals
Just not the daily bonus
GC Seals are spent at your grand company for promotions or on various items and equipment
i have 10k what should i do with it
Get a promotion
Be sure you clear your hunting log for that GC as well
It's required for some promotions
It’s best to focus seals on promotions until you reach at least Sergeant Second Class, as that unlocks the ability to turn in non-white gear for GC seals, which is a massive boost in seal income from doing dungeons past level 50.
thanks
please what are the drop rate of Luminous Crystal
i did like almost 6 fates and still no drop
RNG. We don’t have concrete numbers for anything that’s RNG
But it’s still a fairly fast step for fate grinding
the only way to get it by fates ?
Hard to say, I've been farming in the hinterlands for the dying memories myself and got about 13 after like 35 fates
ok Thank you it will take a while pff
i heard the story is good but when does it start to pick up its pace?
Relic weapons are meant to be a grind. 🙂
oh no
That’s around 33% rate which is pretty decent
It went by fast as a blue mage
You can use any class for getting the luminous crystals, IIRC
how do i unlock wondorous tails?
Talk to Khloe in Idyllshire
Unless it states that you need to be the job or wield the relic, you can usually do it as any class.

@vernal bramble
From what I remember around the time you fight Titan is when the story stops feeling like a tutorial
Yeah Titan is when it starts speeding up, which is around level 35 in the story.
is whm the highest dps from healers ?
As for when it starts getting really good, I'd say Shiva
Just keep in mind that a lot of this stuff is, even the parts that drag, groundwork for later story beats. Even minor details from the early game get spotlighted in later parts of the story.
There's a reason they made the Crystal Tower raid mandatory now
is it best to save xeno for movement
no real way to weave it at all
so i can keep doing damage during movement sht
!faq mount
'When can I get my first mount?'
The quest that allows you to use mounts, 'My Little Chocobo' is unlocked by completing the level 20 main story quest 'The Company You Keep'. The quest is located at the Grand Company base you chose and you'll need to buy the Chocobo Issuance from your Grand Company Quartermaster. You can get the 200 needed Grand Company seals by doing the main story quest that comes after 'The Company You Keep'.
'Are there any differences between mounts?'
Besides looks, all mounts are the same speed along with being able to fly. Some mounts allow multiple people to ride at once.
'Can I make my mount faster?'
Zones have one or two ranks of mount speed that increase the ground speed of mounts. The first rank comes from completing specific quests in the main scenario quests, with the second rank coming from Riding Maps which are bought with either Allied Seals, Centurio Seals, or Bicolor Gemstones. Mount Speed Boosts do not increase the flying speed of mounts.
Xenoglossy is on the GCD so ideally yes on top of not overcapping on polyglot
whats that one pants gear that looks like shorts with belts just underneath? the one that looks the same on both genders? it was a recent item I think
Unlike lilies on whm polyglot is always ticking so it should be easy to keep 1-2 handy
thanks
holy 35 is pretty high
Not particularly
im a sch main but most people only wants ast or whm ... why
Does anyone know if there will be new Housing items with the patch next week? Like the new Stairs for example?
there's many reasons why, mainly stemming from people playing SCH poorly
which ones?
i should switch my main ;-;
nah, SCH is just harder to direct heal with
nobody is allowed to give you shit for the job you want to play
sch is built for shields its unieq
@slate arrow I find myself running a lot so I guess I'll use that for.movement?
How far into ShB do i have to complete to unlock the vendors for my Allegory and Revelation tomes?
Thats correct. Movement is kinda sorta on priority, but you wanna see if you can aetherial manipulate first since that's a "free" move provided you have a weave
YoshiP showed a screenshot of Housingitems at the fan festival. There was a staircase included for Indoor
the hunting log locations are so annoying
After finishing 5.0, which is after you turn in the MSQ Quest named Shadowbringers
it says to go to bentbranch at central shroud im there and the enemy is not there
Ahh damn, alright thank you
Try gamerescaoe.con @fading helm ?
Just look it up on Garlond Tools or Gamerescape, the logs in game are kinda ass until recently
🍡
Where are screenshots located that we take in-game?
Documents > My Games > FFXIV > Screenshots
By default, anyways.
Steam screenshots go to the relevant steam folder
Thank you! 😄
For the bicolor gemstone vendors, you need rank 3 in the surrounding zones
Blue gatherer's scrip to unlock lumythrite ore
Oh for that you just need to unlock the house of splendors
Idllyshire is in Foundation near the levequest person
No, you need the book to even gain access to the legendary node
How can I make the UI vanish? Trying to get a picture without the UI heh
yea I'm trying to get the book with blue scrips
I don't remember what it's bound to by default, but /gpose allows you to manipulate the camera mode
You use yellow scrips to buy the blue scrip token
Blue scrips have been removed from the game for two expansions now

How do you quit out of a triple triad game? A duty finder popped while playing and I couldn’t exit. I tried to lose on purpose, but kept ending in a draw, then automatically went to sudden death
is the grand company choice particularly important?
does fieldcraft levequest give spiritbond?
what does it mean when the player name is orange >?
Not at all.
!faq grandcompany
Which Grand Company should I choose?
The only differences between the three Grand Companies are the looks of the equipment and where they're located. The story doesn't change in regards to the Grand Company you choose beside the quest that comes after "The Company You Keep". Here is a link leading to sample sets from each of the Grand Companies:
How do I get Grand Company Seals?
You can get more seals mainly by completing your Grand Company Hunting Log (Go to the Hunting Log and click on the GC icon), completing FATEs, and turning in crafted/gathered items to the Personnel Officer if you have crafting or gathering classes unlocked. Once you are Sergeant 2nd Class you can turn in Pink/Green/Blue-rarity gear in exchange for more seals.
Someone on your friends list
hmmm ok

Depends on how close the leve quest is to your gear level requirementd
And also the levequest
those are basically mini fireworks that put a thing above your head
is there a way to lock/snap the camera back to the forward position with legacy controls
How do i get in there?

there's an icon with a door on the map to indicate an entrance
Ok, ill find the trolley npc then
Can someone with a whale mount give you a ride?
!faq job
To unlock your class' job you need to be level 30, complete all of your class quests and the main scenario quest 'Sylph Management' (lvl 20 quest) to be able to pick up your job unlock quest. Once you've done the initial unlock quest, you will be given a soul crystal which you must equip to become your class' job.

Im up north idk who the trolley npc guy is
if you're in their party, yes.
Hes in this town?
yes
no
oh i looked only at the background and not the map

how to increase mount speed in bozja?
buy the riding map from the bozjan cluster NPC person near the target dummies
Buy a map
when do u use this?
Depends on the mechanic
Like if ur dead u cant use the ability anymore
the same way as other tank immunities, generally.
use it if you expect to die or to cheese heavy hitting attacks
Do you think its worth coming back to ff to catch up til november when the last time i played was back in fresh stormblood days?
If you would die it makes keeps you alive for 10seconds unless you return to full health
In our current shitty state of affairs I can think of worse ways to spend my time
Can you elaborate?
Lockdown drove me to start playing ff14 in July, I haven't stopped, shits happened it's been a very welcome distractions
Ty
No
And shadowbringers is a fantastic expansion and story so it's well worth your time imho
im trying to do the "If I Had a Glamour" quest but the npc that should give it to me doesnt have it. Im lvl 29 and story is at 17 so i dont understand what is happening
I used to be more into making good friends and enjoying the endgame/grind overall
If you can't unlock it yet you probably need more msq process
Swyrgeim doesn't have a quest at all?
he has a other quest but for that i need disciple of the hand lvl 15
that sounds like you already did it then
!quest If I Had a Glamour
is the quest she has "Absolutely Glamourous"?
Im on the milkahs well dungeon, am i almost caught up with the end of shadowbringers?
yep
then you did the glamour quest
Right click and gear and if it says cast glamour you've unlocked the transmog systen
have 2 more dungeons and 2 trials until the end of the SHB leveling story
ohhhh im stupid
thanks anyway xD
You need prisms to cast glamour anyways, best place to get them is by exchanging grand company seals but you don't have those yet, but by that same token you probably don't have access to a lot of good glam pieces yet either
ah so i can only use glamour later on?
So outside of msq and duty finder
What else am I supposed to be doing for my first character
You can use it now. The quest should have given you a small handful of glamour prisms. It’s just that they’re not as easily obtainable until later levels/GC ranks.
You can use it now but you'll have trouble getting access to glamour prisms this early into the game.
when they say that you can only get bozjan clusters by killing warmachinas do they mean any kind of garlean magitek adds?
Yee
If you miss a book from edens promise due to inventory space and you run it again will the book drop?
I don't think so
i think i have sold the prisms 😢

Well you've made your bed I'm afraid
It gets like that
You'll join a grand company around lv20 msq so I'd recommend focusing that for now
ah 20 isnt that far
Main story progress is the most important thing. All content is unlocked through main story progress in some way. Although your class/job specific quests should not be neglected either. A large majority of your core kit is unlocked through the class/job quests.
Pretty much EVERYTHING is locked behind the main story
Okay thanks
How do i transfer ui (hotbars etc) from one character to another on another server?
Arr is admittedly a slow burn as its largely world building and setup
You can't officially, I think you can copy config files manually but you'd want to ask Google-sensei
Dang
In terms of glamouring is it best to wait till later on or whenever I'm able to start doing it?
Imo wait
up to you? 🤔 since it's just cosmetic
Most people just roll with whatever until they get a full artifact set from their level 50 job quest
but don't go too deep, it's a void that can suck you inside 😂
I totally haven't spent millions on dye and glam
I do want to use the arcane shirt of stirking, but I'm not too sure how to go on about that, started a few days ago

So you can't glamour caster gear to look like dragoon armor
So I can't have a DK with that :(
there are a few pieces of gear that have no class restriction whatsoever, those are glam only items usually
But honestly, you can still create whatever look you want on most jobs
For inspiration I recommend https://ffxiv.eorzeacollection.com/
Artifact armor is a term for job exclusive gear that you get at level cap, usually from the last job quest of a given expansion

You can't for that specific one but
You can use garlond tools to see if any pieces share that model
try #glamour-discussion a lot of glamour connoisseur there 😂
So you can buy that off the market board if you want
whats the max amount of shards my retainer can get? and the shortest time? as botanist
do you unlock the vendor who sell law's order sets after completing delubrum reginae?
You cant use that vendor without coins from Dr anyways
I don't understand
the vendor will be there before that point
To buy stuff from that vendor you exchange bozjan gold and silver coins, bozjan gold and silver coins only come from dr
but the currency needed requires DR
So even if the vendor was there before Dr you couldn't use it
afaik it's the only pvp mode people really play because there's a frontline roulette
however that also means it's mostly just busy around reset time
ah ok
in a little bit over 4 hours
If you are interested in pvp I recommend joining a pvp discord

is there such a thing as "best tank for leveling" or do MRD's and GLA's are more or less the same?
they organize themselves to queue together so things actually pop
No

how do i input x and y coridnates to find a place on the map?
Coordinates are shown on the top right of the map when it's open and you're running the cursor around
good evening got a question i brought a new laptop and here is the specs: intel(R) core(tm) i3-8130 cpu @ 2.2GHz
ram is 8GB
system is 64bit
can i run the game with 30fps or can i generally play the game with this?
in the bozjan front, why am I only getting the tortured memories? how can I get the other 2?
Each memory drops in a different part of the map
you get one type from each zone basically
Yellows are in the bottom half, blues in the centre zone, reds in the top zone
so if you only stay in one zone only one type will ever drop
Greetings, not sure where to ask this, it's more of a tech issue.
My friend, who is originally from EU, but is currently living in Korea for the next year, wants to keep playing FFXIV on the EU servers because that's where I am, but she can't. She apparently has to use a VPN to be able to play on NA / EU but even with a VPN, EU servers just infinitely load. However, NA servers load fine.
Anyone has any idea what could be causing this? Is it even possible to play on EU while living in Korea?
Sounds like maby a route is being blocked? Tried pinging the server ip?
level roulette is daily, right?
yes
You can technically run it however often you want though (you shouldn't)
yes, reset is still a few hours away
Daily hasn't reset yet
!daily
ohhh
She tried a bunch of different locations yeah, same thing, even left the game loading overnight, when she woke up it was still loading, it's weird because NA servers actually load fine, but EU won't
How does one do that? 
i dont get it
ping 195.82.50.9
in cmd?
yes
you don't get the extra bonuses
that's the EU server ip, correct?
yes
ok thanks, i'll report back when I get an answer, should she try with a VPN on?
You can queue for roulettes whenever you want but without the bonus it is very much not worth it
And the bonus is a daily thing
could, i guess if she needs it or not
oh my apology i was talking about my laptop spec if it can run the game or not
I know I keep asking but im sorry but I am lost // I am level 25. Why are my stories quests still level 17-18...and Why must we wait till quest story 20 to get the choboco if our character is already a higher level than the story missions?
she 100% needs it apparently so yea, thank you
here it is
yes on cuz thats her issue trying to troubleshoot
then do it off and see if same thing.
Because everything is locked by story progress and they have increased xp gain to reduce the amount of times you get level locked
Especially if you're on a preferred server and have double xp
The CPU is a bit slower than the recommended specs but it should still be okayish. What kind of GPU does your machine have?
hmm give me a min
That one's arguably the more important part anyway
Ahhh, understandable...Thank you ^^
isnt cpu heavy game?
ah yeh i have no idea how to get the graphic cards info out
it's cpu heavy on heavy fights
like where you see 58 people
or in formidable fates
Welp friend is working right now and will test it when she's done, so i'll ping you the results when she's back, if that's okay 🙏
do you have the thing you wanna test out right now?
as in, the laptop
search for dxdiag in your system search bar, it can tell you which gpu is being used
yup
!faq benchmark
try this
oh right, I forgot the benchmark exists
that would be simpler, just run it and see how it goes

chocobo feed i can get from AH ?
alrighty i will be back
Thavnarian Onions?

not sure about other feeds, but Thavnairian Onion is available on MB
MB ?

ah yas no onions heh
I assume you meant that when you said AH
ya AH
but MB is the more usual term in xiv
o ok
mb have onions it's just that they're 100k
Omg thanks
Don't thank me, glamour is an expansive rabbit hole. If anything I just helped supply your first hit
Guys how do I increase mount speed in different areas? Just by doing the MSQ?
Yes
sweet! thanks
you can also get riding maps for some zones, but for the effort they require they're pretty pointless as they don't affect flying
Until you get to the current expansion, then you have to buy riding maps
I'm playing on a trial, just started like 1 week ago, don't rly know what a riding map is
I think I'm pretty close to unlocking flying mounts yea, I'm at level 42
Not til 50
all mounts are flying mounts btw
there is no distinction
you rather unlock the ability to fly in a given zone
oh .. hmm i need to do thaat one then. Sick of running around
isn't the chocobo considered a mount too?
flying wasn't introduced until Heavensward so ARR mounts sometimes don't really look like they should be flying
but all mounts can nonetheless
after HW they usually made sure it looks okay when something flies with additional animations or whatever
to be fair the ufiti doesn't look like it should be flying either haha
Laughs in albino karakul
Flying is a per zone unlock bases
yeah, unlocking flying at 50 just means you can then fly in all ARR zones
any other zone needs aether currents
Once you hit hw you have to put in some effort to fly in the new areas but its pretty easy
yeah, not much effort tbh, it's okay
A few
and a bit of exploration
Also I was wondering, when is it a good time to switch from trial to the complete edition, after finishing ARR I guess?
If by complete edition you mean you're also gonna buy shadowbringers then yeah around level 60
you'll probably hit lvl 60 before finishing HW though
you will most likely hit 60 before you finish HW
so then you gotta decide if you want to buy now to not waste xp
But your level cap won't increase without expansions
or maybe switch to a different job for the time being
Figured I should buy all the expansions after I kinda finish what trial has to offer so I don't waste the subscribition doing the things that I could do with a trial version of the game
Sure, if you can live with the trial restrictions
I doubt you'll get much of the extreme content done while on trial
that's the only real drawback you have right now

msq
Msq
it's part of ishgard which will unlock at the start of HW
the very start actually, the first quest of HW
EVERYTHING past your 1-30 class quests is locked behind msq
ok guess i have a ways to go, still on Castrum
Soon to enter the seventh umbral slog
Patch quests aplenty
it is a fun quest though, so im enjying it thus far
Is the queue for potd on floors like 51-60 faster? Currently struggling to find players for 31-40
thought so, hope ill get there soon ^^
Heyo, wanted to ask what's the best class for beginners
maybe pick one where you enjoy the role
Conjurer is a healer, Gladiator and Marauder are tanks, Arcanist can become a healer at lvl 30
all the others are dps
I wanted to try summoner but i didn't saw it as a class.
Arcanist
Arcanist becomes Summoner at lvl 30
all the base classes evolve to a job at 30
!faq job
To unlock your class' job you need to be level 30, complete all of your class quests and the main scenario quest 'Sylph Management' (lvl 20 quest) to be able to pick up your job unlock quest. Once you've done the initial unlock quest, you will be given a soul crystal which you must equip to become your class' job.
Can i get the class at lvl 30 as free trial too ?
am back
so on high desktop i assume highest graphics
i got 1742 score
performance slightly low
Oke, ty for the help
soo does high desktop means highest specs right?
oh yeh that was really helpful
my pc can barely stuck at 9fps on lowest of lows XD
but this is like 24 fps on high
just be aware that a benchmark can not catch all eventualities so you may still run into situations where you struggle
and your result is still not great, maybe think about getting something better in the long run
but for now you should be good
yeh am thinking of getting something better
but at least now i know what am dealing with
thanks a ton
There also more graphically intensive lighting mods
Should probably pass on those for now
Hello
Are the Werewolf Feet only for Halloween?
I want it T_T
whats the best way to make some money with your retainers?
so im currently learning rdm
I think the general flow is: alternating verthunder and veraero, using verstone/fire's quick cast to create dualcast loop, and then go in with your 3 strike melee
what I dont get is where does jolt factor in?
Jolt is your shortcast spell to trigger dualcast for thunder/aero
When you have no procs
you never hardcast veraero/verthunder
sell things? idk 
You never hardcast thunder or aero outside of openers
you wanna use jolt to get the dualcast proc if you have no other option
oh i see
You're doing fuck all for 5 seconds
does verfire/stone still proc from a dualcast?
any spell procs dualcast
so verfire/verstone are your short spell alternatives for jolt
and they are to be preferred since they deal more dmg
and generate mana too
ahh I've been mixing dualcast and fire/stone proc, that's where I was confused
but the rest I'm most right on, yeah?
yup
alternate between black and white mana spells so you generate mana as equal as possible
go for the melee combo at 80/80 mana
repeat
that's the basic rdm loop
alright thanks

hey guys how much spell speed the BLM needs? my fire4 cast time is always above 2.5sec....
How do you change audio output settings?
!faq blmbis
Maximize ilv first. We will put put some good example sets here.
If you want to min-max your own sets, or got some raid buffs in your group, make a copy of the sheet and adjust it accordingly.
Speed BiS
Crit BiS
SMN/RDM-Friendly BiS (can use the SMN/RDM BiS w/o swapping melds)
Pros/Cons of the BiS:
"Speed BiS": higher base output, but less variance. Has some volatility in terms of MP ticks in UI
"Crit BiS": slightly lower base output, but higher variance. Does not run into similar MP tick issues as with the SpS set
BLM can basically work at any spell speed
i see, i think ill go for the crit melding
Any tips to getting allied seals?
I tried using ye old ctrl+f but 90% of the messages are the bot
Do your weekly b rank hunt otherwise blue mage stuff, they're the unofficial blue mage currency
Blue mage and arr hunts
main methods are ARR hunts and Blue Mage
is there a way to reset the hotbar?
What's allied seal used for endgame?
like have all the actions/skills on the hotbar
Blue mage stuff and accessories and minions
And aetheryte tickets
use MB ;3
They're an old currency
Which minion?
/hotbar remove 1 all
replace 1 with the hotbar number of choice

Wouldn't that just remove all the skills?
well there's no resetting of a hotbar, so that's the closest you can get
