yes
market board, but you can use it if you're on free trial
That's what resetting it would mean. The default is blank
can't*
I wasn't able to find the minion I'm after
By default I always get skills like Sprint and Return on my hotbar, aside from basic abilities. It never starts empty for me.
I'm pretty sure all of the minions bought with Allied Seals/Centurio Seals are untradeable anyways
Wind-up Succubus, 500 allied seals
Do some masked carnivales and your weekly b rank and you'll have 500 in no time
yeah she is market untradable

Weekly b rank is scaled for level 50 solo
With the power creep that's decimated most arr content it should be a piece of cake unless you're say a lv50 ast
I remember I had lots of trouble with them back as a lv50. Gotta at least gear up, when you get ironworks it shouldnt be too hard
AST still wouldn't have a problem since they can just heal themself
Oh okay, so the thing I hit was a much more dangerous enemy than my hunt target
Probably an a rank
Yeah no those expect at least a full lv50 party
Although they're usually soloed by lv80 players
free allied seals and tomes
Dark Knight has been full reworked a few times
For a guide on the current skills I'd recommend weskalber on youtube
Patch 5.5 Note: Living Shadow now is affected by Grit, increasing Enmity gains
New? Got too many skills? Made the mistake of using a level skip? Have no idea what anything does because you start at 30? Just hate reading? Try this guide out!
This guide seeks to teach new Dark Knights how to Dark Knight properly, without getting too deep into op...
It's all your skills from 1-80
You can just stop at whatever level you're currently at
You're probably undergeared then, have you been keeping up with your job quests?
That's still pretty undergeared

In all the major cities there's a blue bag icon near the aetheryte plaza
B ranks for level 50 probably expect i100
The vendor there will sell you 130 gear for your poetics tomestones
You get poetics from level cap dungeons and trials(lv50/60/70 content)
So you should be able to at least get a weapon from the tomes you got completing castrum and praetorium
After the weapon we'd recommend replacing your accessories as your job quest would have given you ilvl 90 armor for finishing the lv50 quest
Haven't finished msq 
it's so horribly uninteresting
It's mostly setup and world building in arr
Still have to do it
EVERYTHING in game is locked behind msq progress
This is said a lot, but after ARR it gets so much better.
And it goes out with a bang
Is there a unlock list for classes? I want to see what level weavers can make Thav gear.
hi just had a few questions if people can help - is there a good way to find a guild or FC? Or generally you just start one with people you meet in game?
Also is there heavy restrictions to running with a guild on high end content, i.e. like raids or M+ in WoW where you need a certain ilvl etc?
Item level is the only raid restriction, most people don't raid with free company(guild) and statics aren't usually formed in them either.
Only real risk of joining a fc at a low level is getting spoiled by fc chat
For finding one we have recruitment channels here #603040914096783371 and
Is here a group or discord dedicated to efficiency/speedrunning XIV?
!faq communityfinder
Not speedrunning per se but the balance would be the endgame Raiding optimization community
ah awesome @warm snow thank you
Permission to link to the FFXIV speedrun discord?
Not sure how the rules are on that
There aren't hard rules on it.
In that case, https://discord.com/invite/MhGQq5w @exotic flume
does jumping slow ur movemoent speed
no
thanks
these field notes, what are they?
basically lore about various bozja characters
after you use one, you can turn in duplicates for spare lockboxes back at the main camp
so they're basically an extra source of lockboxes
For blm is xeno not part of rotation
It is
Why can't it just be fucking weaved
Nah some people say use it during movement
you use it as needed for movement or to avoid overcapping
do i go for the lockboxes or the silver coins?
also for fitting within raidwide buffs
Yes, and using it for moving is part of your rotation
lockboxes IMO
ok
And using it so you don't overcap on polygot
That's like literally the only.spell u have for movement
It's extremely flexible where it goes
you got lots of spells for movement
Swift and triple don't count
They do
yes they do
Triple u rarely use for movement
can you report someone for dying early on into a fight and then refusing the get rez'd?
And swift is rare af
No
Scathe sucks
Sound like you're not using your tools properly
Uh no?
Triple and swift are very valuable tools
swift is used a lot on BLM and RDM
Swiftcast every minute for one instant
Triplecast every minute for 3 instants
Sharpcast every 30 seconds for an instant cost proc of F3/T3
Aetherial Manipulation for fast movement to another party member
Between the Lines for quick movement back to your Ley Lines
Yes I use them a lot
and then Xeno every 30 seconds
I use swift all the time, and I see fellow BLM use it too?
BLM basically has 6-8 instants every minute that came at no DPS cost
Every guide I saw they say to use in main rotation
Depending on fight alignment to have hold it briefly for better alignment
if you don't need to for movement, yes
are random < 10 item stacks of grade 2 skybuilder's materials worth keeping around?
Triple and swift are down to fight optimization
they are using a lot of retainer space
No
Yea that makes sense then
I was doing castrum marinum I think it wsd
a couple of them are artisinal
A lot of.moving around
Outside of artisnal stuff, you can't get old Grade X ishgard mats
you can cheese the movement by moving through the middle and through the actual rotating laser with good server ticks
Biggest problem with blm is the mobility is dogshit rotation isn't even that bad
It's the most.mobile caster when it wants to be
BLM has the best mobility of the three casters in terms of losing the least damage to do so
With 2 xenos, procs, swift and triple when they're up
With SMN in the middle and RDM as the worst
That's why it's important for BLM to know the fight
So they know when they need tools for movement
also exploiting your party members with aetherial manipulation
I do quite enjoy having a hug button
which lets you do Xeno + Aetherial to go further than what just Xeno could do
Idk rdm and smn mobility is easy too me
it is, but they lose more damage doing it
Yeah I think that's my biggest problem a lot.of the fights I'm going in blind
Summoners only real mobility is egi assaults and excess ruin 4s
So I end up using resources
Cause you move during demis and you hate your life
Ruin 2 comes at a direct Potency cost, and Reprise can delay manafication if overused or even cost you a melee combo
I always keep at least 1 or 2 xenos at all times for burst movement
I very much wouldn't say that BLM has the best mobility out of all the casters
SMN is kinda crazy with how much they can get away with for free for movement
I always keep xenos
and even the downgrade for R2 isn't the worst thing in the world, if it's just a filler cast otherwise. But you don't generally have to do that
I usually use my swift and 3 instant cast on opener
I wish it had more than 1 instant gcd that was good
When they want to be, black mage can be as mobile as others
And I find aetheral annoying to use with randoms
❤️
ooh damn..
fyi, the main protagonist of berserk basically coined the big ass sword aesthetic
so that's why
You dark souls, your bloodbornes, your sad anime Bois with big ass swords, berserk is the inspiration for most of it
even ff7 is like very berserk-based
^
A buster sword may not even exist without berserk

The news about that just broke yesterday.
no info on that
but this is not really the place to talk about it anway 🙂
#716926528507740241 is all about it though
is there any benefit to choosing a harder quest difficulty?
No
Not even extra exp for the enemy levels?
I mean, combat-kill-wise
but that's not really quest difficulty, that's just quest level
Oh
The joy of having done it at a higher difficulty.
there are some solo instances where you can tune down the difficulty
but there's no hard or anything
just normal and 2 easier settings
So dificulty doesn't mean more exp in any way?
No
Or less
Will Soken's Lahee ever be a music roll we can get?
no info on that
but I've seen some people asking for it
just gotta keep asking, wouldn't be the first time they do some fanservice
cough male viera cough
whats the macro line for making company chocobo the micon?
Should be something like
/micon “Company Chocobo” Mount
doesn't work :c
Is there gear above Edenmorn?
Nope
How popular is Eureka now and if it's not popular would it be possible to do it without too many other people/solo? From what I understand it's kind of like a series of fates.
With the exception of the Notorious Monsters and a few of the FATEs, Eureka can largely be done solo.
Alright, thanks!
They added a 150% echo to eureka in 5.1 iirc so for most content youre stats are more than doubled
No, you can only own one apartment and one personal house per character.
Idk if that includes fc rooms
my sprout dissapeared when i reach SHB, how do i get it back? cuz i got booted out from novice network
You can't. It's time and content related.
You have to become a mentor to get novice network back
Oh, so i can't join novice again? 😦
nope
You lose sprout status when you beat sb and have 7 days of playtime
You're no longer a novice
Not without becoming a mentor, no.
Right?
unless you become a mentor
If you have 120 hours and reached shb you lose sprout
novice network is for newbies
168 hours.
congrats on no longer being a newbie 🙂
i liked the Novice network. Helped me a lot in progressing. Oh welp. Thanks
I still feel like a newbie doh xd
can still ask questions here
We're like the NN here, but better.
How do i chat in the yellow though?
I thought 168 was when you could manually turn it off, does it take it away automatically?
If you have questions just ask here
/yell
/yell is just longer range /say though
168 removes it if you've finished SB.
/shout is the whole map
Oh I see lmao
I recently did a speedrun and finished 5.5 in under 168 hours, still have my sprout on that character.
you can turn it off manually at any time
Ohh i see
no time requirement needed
though I think it comes back once you log out
only the returner status can be disabled permanently
manually that is
the ehll tou mount is for max rank, right?
Ye
and the TT card is locked behind it 
do I need to complete the "basic training: enemy parties" duty mission ? because I can't seem to find anyone to join it
is there a free carbuncle mount?
only from online store?
Idk if it was free in the past
Guildhests arent required afaik
But yeah online only atm
shit and I waited for hours, thought that I need to do 
you DO need to do hall of the novice but thats solo
it'll teach you the same stuff anyways
okay, thank you
Any word on exp buff items from pre ordering EW?
Is leveling a combat class with leves viable?
The exp earrings are already available
You get the earrings immediately
I maxed all my crafters and have nothing left to do with my allowances.
Combat leves are shit and stop existing post 60
The climb from 60 to 70 is my biggest problem.
Sweet, my buddy asked me I had them but I read they were a pre order bonus for the last expac and thought I was SOL
Because beast tribe quests for 60 to 70 seem to suck
They dont
Am I accepting the wrong quests?
Crystarium cookie leves. Some people do them for money and some do it for the Honest Gillionare title.
Still very quick xp
Each new expansion comes with a new pre order earring
This new one lasts until 80
The beast tribe leves give like, 300k exp per for me for the ones available from 60 to 70
Opposed to shadowbringers lv70
Just to confirm I can pre-order EW and I'll get the earrings? Does buying an expac give you game time too? Im still on my initial 30 days from buying, haven't subbed yet
Yes and no
Thx all
Expansions never give time

Does buying Endwalker get you all previous expansions?
Yes, but not until EW launches in November
So if you buy it now it doesn't give you the previous expansions?
not until endwalker launches, no
It does. You just can't register them yet
That seems silly...
Since they're tied to the EW code
they wanna make money
buying shadowbringers now includes all expansions
still gotta buy EW after that
more money for SE
literal profit
Yea, but they already got the money if they bought it now?
What difference does it make if you give them access to the other ones now versus later?
Depends on where you buy it. The SE store doesn't charge for preorders until closer to release unless you use their Debit Now thing
just buying EW (with all the expansions on EW launch) would be cheaper than ShB now and EW later
if you arent up to the lastest expac EW doesnt do anything for you
expansions are linear
My sister is looking to get into this and I want to see what the best option for her is. free trial till endwalker release?
complete edition wouldn't include EW though?
Correct
But it would mean she can play past lvl 60
Still, the free trial is easily 100 hours of content, that's good for now
does anyone know if squadron battle manual works in eureka?
On one hand I don't expect her to blow through everything that quickly, on the other hand she only has time on her hands... That said she probably won't be able to play until she gets a new computer anyway and that will definitely take some time to happen first
If she does the trial now, there's a chance the complete edition might go on sale again before catching up to 60 or the end of HW.
there's no downside to starting with the trial
Would that be the better bet then. sale complete edition + ew seperately?
it's literally free and could be upgraded at any time
vs waiting for ew
and if she has someone like you to create groups and maybe manage some gil then the restrictions of the trial are mostly gone
So yeah, starting with the trial would be the safest bet
Depends on how much you're willing to spend. Sale would likely be $30 for complete edition plus $40 for EW later.
Can always throw money at it if she happens to love the game
vs. the trial being free for now
I spent my first 300 hours in trial lol
are chocobo sizes dependent on your own characters height?
I believe so. I always see lalas with smaller chocobos.
mostly race, but yeah
Thanks, just got worried mine was way smaller thaan my FCs
Lol
Ye it’s race dependent I’ve seen lalafels that looked like ants on Chico is
Chocobos *
Hi guys. Question about BLM. I was watching weskalber video on it.
- how much minimum mana is required to cast Flare?
- in his lvl 60 opener. He casted 3x fire4s before using fire1 to refresh Astral fire within ley lines. Does casting 3x fire4s still work outside of Leyline?
800 and yes
it was always roughly 8% required mp to cast flare and since mp are standardized now that fits nicely into 800
Thanks for the quick reply! That puts me at ease. Its been sometime since I played BLM and just revisiting to refresh myself
I tried playing earlier and realised I couldn't cast flare with little mana left
btw, even with little sps you could even cast 4 spells before needing to refresh astral fire
assuming one of them is instant
like a thunder proc
What about miqote
they can, yes
They really need to give viera hat options
Yes but they look ugly
mostly tiaras and the like
Only good thing I found on viera was the yohra hood
For the head slot
Have they mentioned anything about the viera head pieces in the livestreams they did?
does spamming the same dungeon again and again give you tomestones each time?
if it is a level cap dungeon, yes
do I wanna spam matoya's relict 4 times to get a cryptlurker
Or hunt trains to cap your tomes
Ah noted. So 4 normal casts of fire is out of the question yea?
1 expert roulette per day for 5 days caps you at the bare minimum
I think 4 are possible if you go with the fast blm build
expert roulette is locked for me
You don't need high speed for it
Just need to finish the story for the last dungeon
@glossy flare I'm at lvl 60 free trial so I don't have much options I'm thinking
It isnt much further
Can do it even with low sps
yeah I'm trying to get ilvl for that dungeon
With the times u can only get around 1 piece of 520 gear every 2 weeks? Cuz of cap
is there a timer somewhere for fetes?
Tomes *
hm I always struggled with the 4th but I'm no blm expert either, so what Rika says
Do Eden and nier raids for gear on the side
I don't think I have those unlocked
I'll test it out later tonight when I'm online with my current gear to see if I can squeeze in one more
the total amount of F4s won't change either way
@devout lichen for bier u need to complete shadowbringers
and what even is eden
sometimes it's just beneficial for movement reasons
Nier *
Eden starts in crystarium with Middle of Nowhere, Nier in Torma with Word about korma
Eden is the 8man raid series
Like Omega or Alexander
More for using other casts in AF than for movement reasons but yeah
or that
Default will still be 3-1-3 even if you can do 4-1-2
what ilvl does it give
450, 480, 510
First 4 give 450, next 4 give 480 and the final 4 of Eden gives 510
is that normal difficulty?
Which raids give BiS
e9-e12s
savage edens promise
so then I assume normal should be easy
its doable blind but dont expect to blow through them
you WILL die. its just not that big a deal if you do
Got it so its just for the procs
If you're ultra fucking lucky in winning rolls in savage
And win all the drops
And have everyone hate you at the same time
Lmfao
you need to do each raid to unlock the next one?
Yes
I know that feeling
or you convince 7 other people to use loot master and give everything to you I guess
if you manage that I wanna know those people
Yeeeeee thats not happening im not that persuasive
how do i get the augmented hades weapons?
Craft it
U craft them
"if you give me loot master I'll play til you orange parse"
other than the MB
well, I guess 450 is better than my current gear so that's something
oh no
U drop the mat and craft it
Or buy the mat
I herd that next patch u can desynth lvl 70 ex weps for a chance at a mat dropping have they said how rare it will be?
They said they're fixing desynth
Cause some weapons actually don't desynth for the mat
Like they should
Ah
and it was really random what did and didnt
like the 3.5 and 4.2 trail werent but the 3.2 and 4.5 trial were
Anyone know why byukko mane is so expensive when its so easy to farm
The runs take like 1 minute
With full dps
Since i apparently have two account with a shit ton of hours in. I was wondering, should i pick the one with 50-60ish fighter classes and crafters around the same or the other with 60-70ish fighters but no crafters?
bc you cant desynth
does eden give you gear guaranteed
It gives tokens for the gear
no its all loot rolls
!faq edenloot
it's probably faster to just buy the 510 items from the MB
2 tokens needed for head, hands and feet...4 for.chest and legs and 1 for belt and accessories
except I'm broke, so I can't
I don't think it's faster to level classes from 0 to do roulettes
@devout lichen farm some ex raids and get lucky u can sometimes make mills if u get the rolls
do it on your 80
I only have a monk
Are they releasing a new bis wep next patch?
ye the relic
whats the fastest way to level from 70-80 assuming no queue times? spam dungeons or bozja
Will there be gear coming as well or just the wep
Probably be like 520 in ilvl
Can I disable direct messages and fc invites? I'm tired of receiving unsolicited messages.
With actual Save the Queen Bonuses
Sorry add on to my earlier question about flare for BLM. Does the 800 mana rule apply for despair too?
Yes
Wait theres a 48 man raid coming? Wtf
Cant wait to see how that will go
It will go exactly like how castrum goes
Hopefully without the lack of rewards at the start
You can set yourself to busy status. It will block tells and various invites.
/busy would work, I can't recall if there is an option to disable FC invites. There definitely isn't a toggle for DMs
it did give good rewards they just then put coins everywhere
no way to permanently turn off FC invites other than /busy or joining an FC
When will the Diamon Gwiber become purchaseable for 99 totems
5.58
ok ty
How do i check when i can get the daily leveling reward?
!daily
They have arrows above the adventure in need bonus
use that in #kupo-bot-spam whenever you want
daily reset always happens at the same time every day
so you can plan for it
Is changing the race type only doable with a fantasia? Race type as in hyur and midlander etc
ye
If I make chat macros for stuff like Superbolide/Raise should I just replace them on my hotbar or is there a reason I’d want to keep the moves themselves there as well?
Test the macro first to make sure it works ao u dont have to scramble and look for raise etc if someone dies and your macro is defective
Generally it is better to use the skill itself and have the macro on it's own button
Safer that way
Aighty. And is 1 second wait enough?
If you do wanna use the skill inside the macro just keep the original around in case something goes wrongs
Macros can be finicky after all
And yeah, 1s is enough
Are alot of people using mmo mice? Or is that more of a rare thing?
plenty of people do
Thanks!
Depends how u want to play the game, some like to have all skills on buttons on their mouse
They come with like 12 buttons
Still debating, as im new to pc.
an mmo mouse is definitley not a requirement and I even know some people who prefer the keyboard
Yea ik but like... Eh.
comes down to personal taste in the end
I use a viper ultimate mouse and it has only 4 buttons i like to use keyboard more but everyone had their own way of playing
You then basically just wrap all skills around your left hand sort of
for example, yeah
Are they likely going to add many more skills with lv. 90? I am concerned about my hotbars since some jobs are pretty much at or near 100% capacity
shift, ctrl and alt are all good modifiers
Use your thumb
I mean I don't use it myself but I imagine with your thumb
My Alt is right by my thumb
the alt key left of your space key
not alt gr
which would be right of your space key
This is how i have my skills
Might look complicated
But it works lmao
For me at least
I mean ive gotten used to shooter settings but holy hell, mmos are on another lvl
definitely more buttons, yes
wouldn't call it more complex though, just complex in a different way
God its gonna be painful looking like a noob with thousands of hour on console lmao
well, the new setup will definitely feel awkward
Just use a controller if that's more comfortable
then just use a controller if it feels too akward
so my advice: give each setup you try some time to evaluate it for yourself
often something feels bad just because it's new
Thats like not my intention when i bought my rig tho
its ok as long as it works it can be ugly af
and may actually be great if you get used to it
such devastation
Yea its just a getting used to. Thats why i was wondering about the mice
Learned that the hard way lol
but I can see the appeal of an mmo mouse
can someone else craft me the augmented hades ex weapon if i have the materials?
Can you transfer money to an alt?
Something like MCH will probs kill your hands right away
@leaden ginkgo if u use a friend or fc
Are you asking if that's possible? Then yes
I mean on controller everything is focused more on the right where on pc its the opposite. So i think im sticking without a mmo mice, might even help my overall keyboard muscle memory
You need a 3rd person to hold the stuff
and usually what's the cost?
I love the controller. Movement is much more fluid and once I got the WXHBs and everything figured out combat has been smooth. Only worried about new skills overflowing
or does it vary from person to person?
If you give them the mats they'll usually craft it free, but it's a nice thing to give them a tip as thanks
Just make sure u trust them
Thats why im def. Not going back to controller. Even more skills are rn arent good for me on controller
Make agreements in chat so it can be used as evidence for scams
The mats cost millions sometimes
U gotta be safe
@rigid dove keyboard is way easier u just have to get used to it
Less of a fuss using skills
I wouldn't say that
both kb and controller are perfectly fine
just a matter of preference
been playing wwith them for the last month
If they scam u after all that time it would be annoying
Some people change u never know
Im gonna try with keyboard for now. Im really enjoying pc so far so id like to completely swap to it. Gotta learn it at some point ^^ thanks for the help

I just started playing yesterday on PS4. Does anyone knows if I can play with a keyboard/mouse using a PS4 ?
Probably
You can
You should shift the crossbar to a pc setup tho
I've tried google and everything but can't quite figure it out.
I'm going through the delivery moogle questline and I just finished of siblings and side-whiskers so the next quest should be available to me but the deputy postmoogle is nowhere to be seen
any ideas? D:
Thanks
No clue sefs

Where do I turn in armor of early antiquity?
Eulmore, far right npc where the tome people are
Ty
how does adventurer in need work?
It snapshots when you que
If you que in while playing the highlighted class group , you get the bonus
Doesn’t matter if it changes while you’re waiting for the duty

Alliance raids have dps in need decently offen actually
5.58
oooo ok, thats still quite a while right
cool 👍
July/August
is there any reason to do anima weapons nowadays, other than collecting them?
Glamour
I have a black mage at 71, what would be the fastest way to level it from that point?
If you like how they look
MSQ if you haven't done that already
Already did it
!faq altlvlguide
that's only up to 70 though
This is leveling 70*
can do bozja for leveling or dungeon/roulettes
it's the same as before, no need to update it
so do atma weapons upgrade from zenith weapons?
ye
There’s also the anima minion if you care about those
oh? do you get that for finishing one?
or do you need all anima weapons for that or something?
Just need the one
So i just bought the game and the launcher is asking me for the key
But i have two of them
One of them should be the starter edition key. Start with that one
Dis you buy the expansions?
Expansion keys are entered on mogstation
One will probs be for shadowbringers
If you bought it on steam it shows u which one is which
Ohh ok
im currently doing hw and im almost 60 lvl. whats the best way to level up another job as a free trial player cause i dont wanna loose the exp
!faq altlvlguide
Oh wait i have to register dlcs somewhere else?
I can do that while waiting for the download yea?
I think once u enter the expansion it will give u another update to the game
It did that for me
So idk how it will work
If you’re downloading the game
ahh okok, ill wait it out then
hunting log, fates, and levequests from 1-15, from there do dungeon and roulette spam. If you're levelling a dps you might want to do potd instead
use the brand new ring from 1-30, and make sure you always have a food buff
how thier DK do that pose? I tried with my dk but I cant find
/cpose
^
With the weapon drawn
Every job/gender combo has a special job cpose action while the weapon is out
Female and male characters have different poses though
isnt it female only pose
The one in the middle yeah
OH I see
oh I think I misread nvm
how do i properly use shield in a dungeon as an ast/sch? do i just use it the same way i would regen?
Kinda? You dont need 100% shield uptime and not the whole group needs shields all the time
You use it when damage is about to happen. It's preemptive rather than reactionary.
Just note that shields obviously work best as a preventive measure so foresight is required
Is the Shield needed to save people? Then you might not needed and just heal up with Off globals afterwards
Using a preemptive shield on the tank is usually okay though
They take dmg all the time after all
Hard to waste that
But shields do overwrite each other so dont spam them
if i play as an ast for a dungeon, is it better to use diurnal or nocturnal? or are both just as valuable in a single healer setting?
Diurnal is better 99% of the time
Diurnal has more value in a vacuum
Sometimes shields are nice though, with a whm co healer for example, but still not required
And fyi, when 6.0 comes ast will no longer have shields
thank you very much!
Nocturnal ast is easy to adjust to, essentially you just swap your brain from 'pressing it after the damage' to 'pressing it before the damage'
6.0 AST might still have Celestial Intersection to apply a shield every once and a while, but Noct sect will be gone.
Fair point
Or will at least do something unrecognisable to what it does now
is there a way to disable right shift from sending your last sent message?
Can you be a sprout and a mentor or do you lose sprout if you become a mentor? Not talking about the icons since you can only put up one at a time. But I’m still a sprout and am approaching the trade mentor reqs
How do I get to Gangos?
Doman Enclave Aetheryte
and if you don't have access to that, you have to do some questline
I'm at the doman enclave right now and according to what I found online there should be some airship pilot here
but I can't find that npc
You can get there from the docks if you already unlocked it via the quests
The quests start in Kugane, with Hail to the Queen iirc
ah, it is unlocked with a side quest?
I see, thanks

there's so much content I missed while doing msq haha
not entirely game-related (please tell me if I should ask this in other place): Are the expansions artbooks being printed in english for the first time?
ShB artbook is out already, but all the others appear as preorder in square web site, but only the ARR artbook has the "reprint" indicated. I thought HW and SB artbooks have been released in english in the past too and this was a reprint, but now I'm not sure if that happened or if they are just releasing them after ShB artbook.
I havent played this game in years, wanting to get back into it but my registration code is invalid/used already. Do i need to resub monthly to recieve a new code?
the heavensward and stormblood ones are are being re-ran iirc
What code? If it's one you used in the past, you don't need to use it again. It's already registered to your account.
well the rerun date for the heavenswards ones already past, but stormblood ones are in july
I thought too that both HW artbooks that releases next month are reprints, but I can't find anywhere traces of them being printed in english in the past.
When i go to log in using my user/pass it sends me to the registration code 20 character input.
amazon and SE store says HW artbooks release next month
So the only way to run dog farm parties is to have the duty already complete, but no one ever queues up for the dog trials anymore. So am I completely boned? How am I supposed to get these gosh darn dogs?
And you're using the same account? Not a new one?
Correct, just recovered my password is all. E
well there's the heavensward addition that's one the EU fanfest merch site, for the 16 fanfest
Can you screenshot your mogstation page. Specifically this section:
just going to note that usually the artbooks usually have both jp and en texts init
hm interesting in the mog station asks me to add new service to account.
is dark knight a part of the free trial?
yes
That sounds like a new account, or maybe free trial account. You're sure you bought the game and registered it before?
Initially was in my steam library. Not sure if it was a free download but seems to me i either did a 30 day free period since its asking me to purchase
Uhmm where can i change so the mouse acts as camera movement?
When you stopped playing before, did you maybe cancel service account instead of canceling subscription? Those are two different buttons and some people think they need to cancel service account to stop paying for a sub.
hold right mouse button
Yes, you just have to get to heavensward
Potentially lol this was yeears ago.
No like permanently. Or is that how people play on pc?
that's how people play on pc
If that's the case you might need to contact SE support and see if they can fix it for you, or at least allow you to use the key again on a new service account.
there's no action combat camera or anything like that
Oof ok gotta get used to that, weird as hell
ok, that's one more for the free trial to do list:
get to level 60 on white mage
beat the story for ARR and Heavensward
kick cancer's ass
invest in dark knight
Yeah just reviewed my steam purchases and I did buy the 14.99 starter edition. I'll be contacting support for more help.
Is running Praetorium the best way to farm the seasonal tomestones?
not really
One of the worst
pvp, hades EX, and blue mage nidhogg EX
Well I’ve been doing it wrong all week lol
An hour for 20? Nah fam
I did it to level my whm to 80 lol
it's nice if you're already doing it for the other stuff
but for stirght tomes its not great
Yeah, if you're not leveling then msq roulette is not worth the time
Whats the most ideal way to level from 60 to 70?
!faq altlvlguide
is there any audio indicator for the mage ballad reset?
nope
When do I unlock EX Hades? I’m at level78 shadowbringers msq but almost have 3 level 80 jobs
end of 5.0 msq
you need to complete the main scenario quest "shadowbringers"
after that can unlock it
Ah, so a little bit left to go. All good, thanks for the info everyone!
is there a keyboard shortcut for Free Company chat?
/fc but i think theres a setting somewhere
not really that i can recall
Only in bojza/eureka
Why pick AST if there are better healer Like White Mage or SCH?
all are good
i want to lvl another job where can lvl1 weapons ?
but AST is more flexible and has constant raid buffs
the quest that unlocks a job gives you a lvl 1 weapon
if you somehow lost that you can buy new ones at the vendors in any of the starting cities
@vapid spoke why not ?
all healers are good
oh no i dont mean to attack any AST players. i was just comparing/getting a rough understanding of the healers
!faq meta
The meta is what the meta is.
There's no such thing as a "better" class.
Just better players.
well the benefit of ast right now is the flexibility in terms of raid composition (diurnal/nocturnal) and the various dmg buffs for the raid
that's at least what sets it apart from the other two
But if that the case then there shouldnt be a meta, if all the class are viable ?
Exactly.
thats the point
that's exactly the argument, yeah
The meta is that all classes are viable.
there is, its whatever people are good at
there legitimately is no reason to not pick a job because it's bad or something because all of them are viable
i see
!faq metameme
whm has more straightforward heals and regens, sch has more proactive heals and shields, ast has both and can buff damage
they are all good
The only reason that people choose to play one job over another is that they prefer the way a specific job plays.
is conjurer a healer or dps
healer
CNJ is WHM
conjurer becomes white mage
But AST is getting changed right in EW
Ys
yes
yes ast will become a pure healer
ohh
ok cause i wanna make a healer
AST will be getting arguably the biggest rework of all the classes in EW.
while sage and sch will be shield healers
Whats the setting that makes my camera not turn when hitting wasd?
@rigid dove standard controls? in character config
Still turning tho xD
Other classes will have minor tweaks, ability pruning and potency adjustments, that sort of thing.
so conjurer isnt healer till he becomes wm
and new abilities of course
yes it is
CNJ is a healer.
conjurer is a healer from lvl 1
They're the only healer under level 30.
well... technically not from lvl 1 I guess since you only have stone
cool
cause i dont wanna scam people when i queue as healer xd
it is a healer from lvl 1
You literally cannot queue for a role that you aren't.
So if you're CNJ, you'll only be able to queue as a healer.
will it change how AST is played With the comming changes ?
oh ok
yes
If you're ACN, you're dps.
-_-
We are not devs we can only assume
We just don't know the details of how.
welp
The only job to technically change categories is Arcanist to Scholar, dps to heal
i just wanna make alt healer to exp fast
Then CNJ is a good way to go.
You'll be able to go straight into dungeons as a healer at level 15.
You can scholar and summoner share levels
got it got it
cnj (whm) is also a good healer to begin with
from conjurer?
since it's the most straight forward of them all
No
ACN is dps until level 30, so you have 15 levels of dps queues before you can be a healer.
Scholar and summoner share levels with each other
Arcanist leads to both summoner and scholar so they share levels
i wanna have the earliest healer i can get
Which is CNJ
As I've been saying.
I just got a Lv 90weapon coffer? how is taht possible if the cap is 80?
item level
Item level 90
item level normally is way higher than normal level and is the reason some level 50 sets have different stats than another level 50 set
and it's also what matters most in armor
is there an organised list of all the shb relic weapon steps
ilevel syncs more or less with actual level until about level 50, at which point the ilevel numbers start jumping way ahead.
Current max ilevel is 530.
yeah ig main stat would be more important
it's just more important than normal level
(ilvl that is)
I think
idk
When do you unlock Ishgard?
Higher ilvl has more main stat
when you get to hw
When you start 3.0
normally I just go for higher ilvl lmao
don't really pay attention to anything else
While leveling I generally just use the recommended gear button.
^
yeah pretty much
Guys, i have been reading about the scholar quest and the error i see people making is leaving their summoner stone on but i have no stone, dressed as arcanist, level 30 and finished the level 30 quest to imprison Dwhatit'sname, and i don't see the quest from Murie, the guild receptionist at the Arcanist guild.
Story progress?
You need to pass slyph management msq
Which is at lv20 in the story
You can’t upgrade classes til that msq is done
!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.
do i have to remove the sidestep from q and e to use those as skill buttons?
Yes
ok
I need to learn to read the lodestone properly, ty
Keybinds are 1:1
Is there a way to preview interior walls and floorings ?
What raids should I queue for for the moogle event?
how take a screen shot ?
prnt scrn button
@teal charm none
hmm odd it says screen shot failed
what should I be queueing for?
make sure you have the screenshot folder in documents > my games > ff14
@teal charm rival wings
whats that?
pvp
cool that was it ; >
O_O says queue is 30min for rival wings. All the raid queues are instant
its not peak hours
Hades ex, Blue mage nidhogg and pvp are the best ways for tomes
I'll try hades and nidhogg thanks
You don't que for any of them
you use pf to do those
ahh ok, do I have to unlock extreme?
yes
Yes
is 480 ilvl ok for that?
There actual mechanics that will kill you
yes
join a learning party and look up a guide
make sure youre doing your rotation correctly
bring food
dont wipe
And you need the good spells for blue mage with your standard single target burst spells
For nidhogg
Hey where do i put in my activation key? I have the free trial installed, do i need to uninstall it and redownload something or what?
