if you own Stormblood yes
ok... can I get Stormblood as a SCH?
Of course
Stormblood is an expansion
It's just an expansion
The second one
i only have up to ARR
Heavensward is included in the base game, but to get SAM you would need to buy Shadowbringers
since it comes with Stormblood now
i see
if you only have arr can't you just buy complete ver
gotta blow the dust outta my wallet and see how much I have
You only have to own stormblood, you don’t have to actually get into stormblood content
wait no
isn't the shadowbringers expansion just for people who already have everything?
No
if you onmly have arr surely you should get the complete edition?
No
Shb includes sb and arr includes hw iirc
Can't use complete if you already own the Base game
reading the details on squares page
Starter Edition includes both ARR and HW

determination or critical hit better on paladin?
Shadowbringers Standard Edition includes Stormblood and Shadowbringers
Crit
heard a comment about Rescue effectively cancelling out limit break anim lock. That true?
$40 CDN is not too badk
How do I level my chocobo? Just kill everything on sight on lvl 80?
if you do it too early, it interrupts but do it after the LB is resolved and you can cancel the lingering anilock
super obvious with WHM and SCH Lb animations
Bring it with you to kill enemies at an appropriate level (similar to your level) and train it in a stable every hour.
So after the damage is registered, essentially?
Kill stuff close to your level range. Also works if you’re level synced so doing low level FATEs with BLU is an option
basically or after everybody wakes up from sleeping on the floor yea
I wouldn’t recommend grinding beyond getting the weekly challenge log exp though
don't have a stable sadly
Chocobo rank exp is very slow
Just trying to do my ARR relic and I'm sorry WHAT. Did I miss a step here?
If you have an apartment or are in an FC, you have access to a stable.
But challenge log is a good chunk
so there is no way I can level chocobo in a day?
Its a troll. The game trolls you right there.
To max? Yeah no
🙃
I’ve been playing this game for six years using the chocobo casually and only recently got to rank 20
I've had similar results.
It is
It really is that slow.
Do you guys have more than one character? A main and one for crafting? Is having an item mule a thing?
The first 10 levels with your chocobo are easy, but 10-20 takes a LONG time.
there is no need to get more than one character because everything can be done on 1 character
item mules are also generally not required unless you are crafting for your whole FC or something
so I guess having a stable is crucial
Some of my FC mates do for roleplaying multiple characters.
Not essential, but it helps a bit.
Tbh there's no reason to try and powerlevel it unless you need the bardings right now. I recommend going after your shared fates with your choco out, and/or treasure farming. If you feed it a certain number of curiel root, it'll also get XP affinity afaik, so it gains more XP.
I want dragoon barding asap, not really interested in other 2
Just have your chocobo out all the time.
I'm happy then, need to powerlevel to lvl 10
Not sure what dragoon barding you're referring to though.
google says you get dragoon barding if you max out attacker role
You get a barding for maxing each chocobo skill tree
Paladin, dragoon and white mage themed
Is it possible to re-play the main story on a character that has already done it? My friend who just started wanted me to make a new character to play through the main story with them, but I just keep thinking about the slog of the main quest and having to rediscover all the waypoints >_>
New Game+
Oh. Hm. For some reason I thought the attacker tree gave you the BLM barding.
What's the ilvl of lost antiquity gear?
okay lads, how do you suggest to level up from lvl 5 to lvl 10 asap?
And golden antiquity
Just keep using your chocobo.
I did leves and hunting log, others suggest potd.
Challenge logs weekly and just keep it out while doing stuff
you can summon chocobo in potd?
wait you still mean chocobo
man i wish, that would make the chocobo actually useful
And not completely forget they exist
no I just forgot the topic at hand. I leveled mine with my very large FC through frequent map parties. If you don't have access to that kind of stuff, I recommend either starting up a relic (all three overworld ones have fate frinds) or go after your shared fates.
There is no faster way
I'm still playing alone for the most part. I just need 5 levels to hit lvl 10
You're just going to have to accept that it's going to take some time.
Then knuckle down
I'm aiming for Flamesworn title, which requires 200 Immortal Flames levequests. Guess it's ideal to level chocobo in the same time
Can you switch classes, (ie: miner) while waiting for the queue to pop?
Yes
Amazing. Thank you!
Ah okay! That makes sense!
Haha
haha thank you!!
The queue won't let you accept if you're on a different job than you queued with.
yeah, can only enter the instance with whatever job you queued for
Hello.
I wanted to know what should i choose on optional rewards as a beginner.
My current options are clothes/armor or something called allagan bronze piece.
If you need the armor, then get that. Otherwise you can pick up the bronze piece which can be sold for gil to NPC vendors.
Take gear if it's an upgrade
Get the gear if it’s an upgrade to what you currently have. Make sure you get the right gear for your class
Allagan pieces are just essentially gil vouchers yeah
the money sack is just a small amount of gil. In general it's irrelevant what you pick here, because they become worthless very quickly
What's gil used for?
Buying things, teleports, repairs.
other note: while I was researaching SAM, some sites say you need to be Disciple of War 50
Being lazy
Disciple of War or Magic
When you’re leveling and doing story, gil will chiefly be used just for teleports
what is that ball? I wonder I can pick it?
Basically has to be a combat job
Sightseeing log
Sightseeing log vista
Sightseeing log
TY
what is it for? how to pick?
It's a sightseeing point. You stand there and do /lookout (or whatever emote it requires).
It logs the point and you get a little xp.
Stand there and /lookout to unlock a description in your sightseeing log and get a bit of exp
Sometimes it’s a different emote
/pray is the other common emote
I see
However there are a couple that need like, /psych or /cheer
it say 006 complete but got nothing
There are some that need /sit /salute etc
You got exp and an entry added to your sightseeing log
If you're on a max level job you won't get the xp.
Yeah naturally
😆 oh what a wasted I did
It's not a huge amount of xp
thx for info btw my blu cant get Acorn Bomb spell, I am killing Treant Sapling (the big tree) but still cant get. in google, they saiy like 92% but I feel like 0.1% xD I still cant get that one
Are you seeing it cast Acorn Bomb?
to get the spell
You must see the spell finish casting before killing the enemy
Yes, you need to see it cast Acorn Bomb completely.
oh?
You can't interrupt it, or kill the enemy before the spell finishes casting.
I didnt know it...I gonna to try. tysm
but you don't need to be hit by it. You can dodge.
That applies to all spells for BLU, btw.
common misconception
How do I travel to the Goblet? It forces me to pick a ward, but there is no "enter" button
Select one then press the button at the bottom to enter
thanks, I thought I have to pick specific residence
in summerford
What are you looking for exactly?
goblin fisher
and tiny mandagaor
and other mobs
The whole southern section of the map is Summerford
It’s not labeling the water
Goblin fishers should be over near the river
Mandragora are scattered about
played this game back in the day and im considering playing it again. I never got to the end game tho, is it challenging?
thanks
Is there a desirable way to train gathering professions?
Plus the slightly easier extreme trials, and the much harder ultimate fights which there are only a few of
The fastest method to level gathering classes is leves in addition to daily Grand Company turn-ins
Urgh
There’s also grinding in the Diadem as an option
ehhh doenst sound like there is much content tbh for the end game
There’s a good amount of content
There's multiple of them
Short Question: Is there a way to download the whole Client without having an active Subscribtion?
There’s 12 savage fights, each one taking hours to beat
No
Per expansion that is
The Ultimates range from 50-100 of your good
And ultimate fights are usually 100ish hours of prog
There’s a total of... 49 savage fights in the game?
If you really wanna count T3...
Add in alliance raids and BSF and it’s about 500+ hours of pure endgame content
Though doing old ones level synced is a pretty niche pastime
and I guess I can't do levequests and level chocobo in the same time, because levequests are too low level, right
You can but it doesn’t give much xp
Power leveling chocobo is not good for one’s sanity ...
If the levequests are too far below your character level your chocobo will not gain as much xp, or any.
are there level 9 levequest?
It’s very, very slow ... it will take yearS
But if you switch to a lower level job that's appropriately leveled for the leves, then it will work.
I did 15 delubrum reginae in a single session, my madness has no bounds
Levequests are available in values of 5 - 5, 10, 15, etc. but you can increase the level by 5.
oh, im stuck on level 9 rouge and my hunting log i need to be level 10
And in that same time your chocobo might gain ... half a level ...

my main quest is level 15
Yep gotta farm fates until lvl 10
so basically get new job and play it til lvl 45 with levequests only?
accidentally did beast tribe quest on CUL but want to turn in with alt class. if i didnt turn in the quests yet, can i abandon and retake with another class or does that waste my allowances?
someone said that level sync in lower level FATEs work, I guess this is the way. I have level 5 chocobo rn, and it was only summoned few times during relic weapon grind
you'll get it back, with exception of the ixali delivery daily
your chocobo's rank =/= level
they are whatever level you are
so if you're 35, its level 35
I'm talking about rank, yes. It's rank 5
so do stuff that's the same level as you to level it
or fates, yes?
if you're looking to double dip by leveling up a combat job as well, don't do leves because they're the bottom of the barrel for exp. fates are better
you can find fates that are your level
I know. My friend is going to farm memories for the relic too, I'm thinking to help him and level chocobo in the same time
Heck, you can even triple dip with relics or unlocking the ShB fate levels
main reason to find low level fates to do is if you're wanting to get the challenge log done quickly
where can I find chocobo challenges in the log
Under companion
Battle
In battle
its got 2. defeat 20 enemies, and defeat 100
ah, it's done already, guess I did it while grinding fates for relic
Yes you can
They need to be in range and within your party
Cover is barely used
sheltron is more used?
yeah
Yes, it's your short defensive Cooldown
battlecraft leves are actually good exp. you can usually get about 4x the stated amount of exp by being competent and completing quickly
Sheltron is one of your most important buttons
they're really not that good for exp
There's barely any reason to use cover outside of saving someone from being stupid as shit
They are not at all.
especially when compared to dungeons or palace of the dead
tanks usually just tank swap for mechanics rather than use cover since PLD is the only job that has it
!gathering
they also stop being a thing after 60
Doing FATEs of similar level is outright faster
Right - for 1-15 to unlock dungeons, i found leves better than FATEs
And doing dungeons or PotD is much faster than that.
For 1–15 you should just do challenge log
for 1-15 they are decent after the hunting log
1-15 you can pretty much do w/e and it'll be fine but after that leves really are not that good
Hunting log rather
even with brand-new-ring and armory bonus, hunting log alone is not sufficient, you still need 4-5 levels worth of exp
Levequests are more efficient, but not necessarily better than FATEs for 1-15.
Simply by virtue of being personal completion and localized to a small area.
Whereas you have to go looking for FATEs/wait for them to spawn.
i only need 8-10 and 14-15
maybe if you find other people doing the same FATEs, but I was always alone and ended up taking 3x longer than a leve, giving 1.2x the exp of a leve
As a side note, you can do higher level hunt log objectives. As long as you can kill the enemies you'll still get credit.
So if you're level 5, you can still do the level 6-10 hunt objectives.
your job quests at levels 1, 5 and 10 also give you a good chunk of exp
yup - completed second hunting log by lv 13. still needed exp 🙂
either way though, leves really aren't ideal to be doing after a certain point
and for chocobo leveling they're not really worth either
because you're going to have to be constantly going back to the levemete to pick up a new one
After level 15, levels definitely drop off in efficacy massively.
grand company leves can be useful for getting seals before you unlock expert delivery
is there a reason they dont make early access a week so that those of us that want to play the new classes in endwalker can get em to 80 b4 release day can?
Early access is EVERYTHING
You can get the new classes to 80 in less than 4 days.
It basic is the expansion launch
how?
Bojza or dungeons
The same way you'd level any other class.
Some people asking in shout about invite for s rank or whatever what ar these
Hunt mobs
S rank hunt enemies.
4 days is honestly more than enough time to get to 80. keep in mind the endwalker jobs are going to start at 70
so its only 10 levels
They're basically raid bosses in the overworld.
Gys, i'm worried that i mithg tbe missing oportunities in training gathering profs like botanist and miner, should those be trained a lot later or should i try training them along with my combat? Since my combat won't allow to do things like prospect i'm not sure if its worth trying to do both.
early access will also be a FANTASTIC time to level a tank as roulettes will be flooded with Sages and Reapers
its like world boss ?
You can ignore them until later
Up to you. There's not really any way to "miss out" on anything. You can always go back.
You're not missing anything
Yes, basically.
how do i know if an s rank respawn
Plus you unlock more levelling methods like ishgard restoration
gathering (and crafting) are entirely optional facets of the game that can be started at any time
There will be a system text message that says "You sense the presence of a powerful enemy" if you're in the zone at the time.
i know kael its just dps dont exactlly get short wait times unlike healers and tanks..
I mean, i feel transport on the game takes some time, and that time adds up... But the time i use between switching and and the attention it requires is also a problem.
Some of the really big ones even change the weather in the zone to a special weather.
That's why bojza exists
i see Thanks
thats why you have bozja, pixies, hunt bills, fates
you have plenty of ways to level dps without dungeons
So even if i can go back, is it worth it to try saving time by trying to gather wherever i go?
Trusts too, if you're desperate.
You won't even see nodes when not on a gathering job
Not really.
gathering will be waiting for you when you decide to focus on it 🙂
Had a question for y'all. What part of the game did it become fun for you all ?
It was always fun to me.
I see. Because I haven't reached the combat sections yet so I'm just got tired
The beginning.
i enjoy the story of a game a lot so it held my interest for most of the game
What level is your MSQ
?
I just reached level 2 and met the pugilist guild. It's 9pm so that might be why.
That's what. I spent a lot of time customising lol
Nah, 10 mins, remember cutscenes 😛
You get level 2 just by finishing the first quest, there's only one cutscene before that, and it's the opening one.
retainer (who are gathering) does need Accessories ? I wonder Accessories are giving GP but I wonder do they need it?
And it's about 5 minutes long.
I remember the part being talking for about 15 mins
they dont
technically don't need it but giving them acessories doesn't necessarily hurt either
they only need gathering stat
as you can meld gathering onto the accessories
Accessories add to your retainer's ilevel, which (up to a point) improves the items they can bring back.
hmm
isnt that for combat not gathering?
how do i uninstall the launcher version of the game and not the steam version
Thinking of maining BLM and secondary NIN what should be my third in terms of supporting teams/ most needed class
tank/healer
!faq download
just for diversity, helps with understanding how different roles work
Correct me if I'm wrong, the vocalist for Byakko's phase 2 music is actually Yoshi-P isn't it?
yep that'll do just fine
Is there a guide to BLM
!faq blmleveling
that seems to have nothing to do with my question?
Oh sorry, I misread uninstall as install
hey, just a quick question, is it worth it to buy a subscription, because i really love the game but idk if its bad spending money like that so i wanna know if its that worth it or not.
he sing with the primals for it, but in-game i don't believe its him
I don't think steam allows you to uninstall through the control panel
Also is there a controller targeting guide having a problem with that
I play on PS5
i mean, it lifts the trial restrictions and gives you access to more content. It isn't really something someone can say 'yes, it's worth it' to - its your decision
Just for enemies?
I have two ffxiv's listed in uninstall programs
Yes
What about for other things
it's worth it. Shadowbringers is in my all-time favorite games. this game is expensive tho so i understand the hesitation
Allies are up/down dpad
ones the gray logo and the other is the black one
yeah in-game amatsu kaze is Michael-Christopher Koji Fox & Masayoshi Soken & Koji Shirashugi @agile laurel
oh right, another case of 'let's add 6 more modulations to Koji's mic so he's unrecognisable from the last time'?
probably
right
koji and soken do a lot
yeah
how do u remove the UI again?
how to sort inventory
scroll lock or type /gpose to go into the fancy photo mode
right click on something in your inventory > sort
thanks
My non-steam version looks like this one, but there's a chance it could be different depending on when it was installed
some people have a glowing pet following them how to get it and what the use of it
If you're still not sure and you're comfortable enough using regedit, there's a way to find the uninstall command for it.
Does lord and lady of crowns proc divination
I don't have anything that looks like that
no
They give no seals
Then why use it
That's their point
you use minor arcana when you already have the seals you want
So you don't mess up your seals
or you get unlucky and would have a dupe seal
They also give a slightly stronger buff
What seals
the divination seals
Seals for divination
Wait
Your job gauge icons
Yep
Arcanist pet
CUTE
you need to be an arcanist/summoner for it
So if I have the seals and use div
And it's in cooldown do I use lord and lady
iam a summoner
Hit 50 and unlock egi glamours at the guild
for summoner, you need to be lvl 50 to unlock egi glam
So use lord and lady only when div is in cooldown?
then you can glamour your egi's back to carbuncles
You use hem WHEN YOU GOT YOUR 3 SEALS
egi glamours ?
Yes
Then when the fuck do I use lord and lady
It turns ifirit. Garuda and Titan back into carbuncles
look
.
my summoner is 50 above
That's when
if you have 3 seals, use you lord/lady to not mess up your prepped seals
or if you have 1/2 seals and it'd give you a dupe seal (because rng hates you), you use lord/lady
Go to the arcanist guild and unlock it via the blue quest there
i see thanks for the help
you use lord/lady when you don't want to fuck with the seals you already have
I'll just look it up I'm more confused
Ik that
3 different ones let's divination be full strength
Ohh
in this instance you wold want to use minor arcana
you have 3 seals already
and using balance as is, would mess up your seals
Once you have all 3 different seals, you minor arcana the rest
if for instance you have 2 seals (moon and star), you could also use minor arcana if you got unlucky and didn't reroll for a sun seal
Basically Minor arcana any duplicate seals
Gotcha
Does uh anyone know how to fix this? This is my first time trying to play and I can't figure it out
Are you trying to play the trial or the full version of the game?
Just the trial
Are you using the trial launcher?
Did you register the game to your account?
Mhm
And are you launching the game through steam?
Correct
I originally tried the trial thing on the website but it didn't seem to work, so I just bought the game
Did you buy the Starter Edition, the Complete Edition, or just Shadowbringers?
Starter
Have you tried restarting Steam?
I'll try that now
Are they not updating the patch notes for 5.55? Don't they usually do that on Fridays?
They'll update the patch notes on Monday
5.55 will have its own set of patch notes, and .xx patches don't have prelmins generally
prelims are for the most part reserved for the major patches
Alright the same issue is still occuring
Unfortunately that's as far as my troubleshooting abilities go.
is there an easy way to tell which blue quests with a "+" are actually worth doing?
if you bought the game already, I don't think you can play the trial
Just to be safe, can you take a screenshot of your account page and show us what version of the game you have?
all tbh. It's pretty obvious what it unlocks, so if it's like chocobo racing, you don;t need to do it if that's not interesting to you
most poeple leveled all their jobs at 50 an 1 hour how .
You have the standard PC version
you do not have a steam account.
Not the Steam version
How do I uh
You don't have to do "So you want to be an X" unless you want to unlock crafters or other battle classes
convert that then
You can't
!faq download
just download this
You just use the regular launcher rather than Steam
Oh thanks I got it confused with prelims, just excited for new Save the Queen stuff
You wasted your money, yeah.
ouchy
steam does refunds maybe?
is there a benefit to logging out in an inn bed rather than just next to a city crystal?
Nope
Would ask for refund, my rule for buying games, i always buy standalone outside Origin/Steam/Ubi as possible.
Lets see if I have refunds left
You get a little animation of waking up if you log out in an inn room, but that's it.
thx
3rd party distribution platforms are just another layer of issue to deal with.
Do you guys know if it's better to queue as tank or dps for palace of the dead? apparently healer requires 44+ mins of waiting
Role doesn't matter for potd
Doesn't matter. PotD is role agnostic.
It will fill a party with anyone
It's a question of whether anyone else is queueing for the same floors as you.

if its floor 1-50, they can take a bit since most people queue for 51-60
So i coudl eventually get a party with no tank or no healers? Dang.
Yes, that's the whole schtick with the queue system for it
if this moogle event finishes, will there be a next one immediately?
No
ah
They usually only do them during long content droughts or for special events
well I'm assuming that's a bit of money gone
Well that's probably the first mistake of many then
On the plus side, having purchased the PC version, you can take advantage of SE store sales in the future, which happen far more frequently than sales on Steam.
ah that sounds cool
Just make sure that when buying expansions you're buying them from the SE store and not trying to buy them off Steam.
Alright thank you
from 10 to 15 i should do PotD ?
fastest way.
hunting log and job quests first IMO
i cant solo it i .
Fastest will depend largely on queue times for PotD
If you haven't done any PotD at all, then doing hunt logs, job quests, and levequests are going to be faster.
Because PotD queues for anything aside from floor 51-60 are going to be super long.
ok thanks
has there been any SExFlorenceAndTheMachines collab since ff15?
No
😦
does this happen often?
Sadly, yes. That seems to be a common issue for new players.
Make sure that your Internet Explorer is up to date. That can cause problems.
There's some workarounds.
One is trying a VPN. Another is to use the unofficial launcher, which I believe is XIVLauncher.
!faq quicklauncher
Alrighty
how do i play faux? i simply do unreal trial and can play it? do i need a quest or item?
Leveling a 2nd class, I have the lvl 50 class gear, should I get the Ironworks gear or wait and get shire gear?
Simply clear Whorleater Unreal for the week and you can play
Up to you. If you think you'll get to 60 before you can get a full set of Ironworks, then wait.
you should also have a set of lvl 90 gear from your final job quest
Otherwise, get the Ironworks and start working on Shire after.
Is there any fc that are local and trying to grow with me
uncover the crossed swords picture when playing Faux Hollows and you can get a chance to go to the Unreal trial a second time for the week and play a second round of Faux Hollows
Or trying to help me grow
This is what I'm running with now yea, probs will wait for shire then
Check those @normal prairie
you don't NEED ironworks gear, particularly after you start running HW dungeons
Is there a reason for getting the client from Steam vs from the website? In WoWS there where different packages/deals availiable for the Steam version for example.
If you have the Steam version, you have to use the Steam launcher.
same here, if you buy on steam you are locked into steam for sub/expansions, but can have regional deals vs the outside steam store
You get the same game regardless of whether you buy the Steam or the SE store version though.
No different packages, but Steam has less frequent sales.
steam also lets you use steam wallet to pay for sub/optional items
It’s like the same 4-5 fc’s😭
Rgr, I assume the SE accepts PayPal aswell?
You can also try /shout in any major city (Limsa Lominsa is best) that you're looking for a new player friendly social FC to join.
sort of
you can use paypal to buy crysta to pay for your sub/optional items
but can't use it to pay for things directly, like a credit/debit card
But the price ends up the same, right?
mhm
is every mogry station item restricted to yourself or can you for example trade/sell them to others or at the market?
Cool, thank you very much everyone!
they're all market/trade prohibited
They're bound to your character/account.
thank you
I'm assuming this means it's working, so thank you @open coral ^^
Yep, that looks like it's doing its thing.
How do you hand in lvl 80 collectables? I am in eulmore and I only have options for yellow scrip collectables
Do I have to be level 80 for thaT?
yeah
Oooh ok! Thank youuuuu!
Hey my friend is trying to download the game and he gets this -
This service account does not have a valid FINAL FANTASY XIV license for this platform or your subscription has expired.
To register a license, please visit the FINAL FANTASY XIV: Mog Station (https://sqex.to/Msp).
For further help with this error message, please check this FAQ (https://sqex.to/ffxivnovalid).
FINAL FANTASY XIV専用サービス管理ページ「モグステーション」です。
Anybody knows what can he do?
The last time I had that problem was because I had the wrong type of account
Like I was trying to use the account outside Steam on the steam one
Or vise versa
The message is self-explanatory. They're missing either a license for the platform they are trying to play on, or have a license but their subscription has lapsed.
- Is your friend trying to download the trial or the full version of the game?
- If the latter, have they registered the game to their account?
- If the paid version, did they purchase the Steam or the SE store version?
14 year wow veteran , first time coming to FF14 kinda lost, any tips and help welcome
!faq newplayertips
They are free trial
Did they download the free trial launcher or the full game launcher?
free trial laumncher
Are they certain it was the free trial launcher? That error shouldn't pop up if they're using the correct launcher.
They are opening it up throught the free trial up from steam, so it should be no? how do u know
!faq freetrial
Did they link the trial to their SE account correctly?
I think the Steam version has a CD key for the trial version.
It does? i don't remember that
oh just worked for him somehow lmao
thanks for the help, really appriciated
Steam has some weird quirks sometimes.
I never used the Steam version, so my information is based entirely on other resolutions to similar issues.
is it worth doing roulettes when youre not adventurer in need
Yes
Your first roulette of each type per day offers a significant bonus of xp
The AIN bonus is minimal by comparison.
It's also not worth doing roulettes that you've already completed for the day just for the AIN bonus.
can you queue up as 3
i'm sitting on this quest for months, how do i do it?
So you can't queue as 3 dps, or with multiple tanks or healers unless you're doing 8-man content.
where do i get that rod
You craft it
Or buy it
Get the weapon from the Market Board, or craft it yourself.
Then you put a materia in it
Yes
or what do i have to do with it?
ahh
so i buy the base weapon
and put stuff on it
Exactly that name, and meld the specific materia or buy it with those materia already melded.
also the materia has to be the one in the quest description
!faq zodiac
so it's just for like transmog right?
Yep
i see, that's good to know, thank you

there are lots of wow => ffxiv videos on youtube
This is strange as I have subscription payment processing emails from square
Are you trying to recover your squeenix account? Or your mogstation account
The account I use to sign into my ffxiv account
If you cancelled your service account, it can't be recovered.
If you're using an email address that you know has an active account, it may have been hacked, and you may need to contact SE support.

you can actually reactive a service acct
its the square enix account itself that can't be recovered
could someone explain the naming system for raids? like what does e11s mean?
Eden’s Promise Anamorphosis (Savage) being its proper name in-game
many names in the game can be hard to spell or pornounce so we shorten it
Every expansion there is 3 tiers, 12 raids
We are currently on the 3rd tier of the Edens
well, and coils, but its funky
So since
Eden's Promise Anamorphosis (Savage) is so damn long we just shorten it
Same for Omega and Alexander
The "s" tells us its the savage difficulty
We're expecting at least rank 10
thanks for the responses!
Becahse thats where dr left off
righto
They already said it would be r10 to access Zadnor
Though at this point many people already have r15
and is it better to just watch the youtube videos for the questline or should i replay it?
It wouldn't matter
i was too burned out so i had just skipped it
Its optional story
you could watch a summary video
but you get to make some important choice right?
thers not that much going on
oh well. now for EW, there are two important side storylines right?
?
its not like ShB yeah
None of the side stories are required for EW
though I wouldn't be remotely suprised if the Weapon series trials were part of the story or mentioned in EW but hey, I wouldn't know
There were a few side stories that were recommended by the devs during fan fest. I don't remember what they were off the top of my head.
^this
was it omega?
it was coils and Omega
Omega and Coils
something to do with dragons
although they recommended doing everything
but i remember the devs saying that it was more a lot of different things yeah
which expac is Coils from?
how do i use the collective consciousness effectively?
Arr
ARR
Tap it briefly to give out the buff then end it
righto
Mhm
is there a job quest for every 5th level?
Oh okay, thanks!
Does Tsubame-gaeshi cancel combos?
!action tsubame-gaeshi
Repeats the previously executed iaijutsu with increased potency.
Can only be executed immediately following Iaijutsu.
Triggers the cooldown of weaponskills upon execution. Cannot be executed during the cooldown of weaponskills.
Does flare need a specific amount of MP?
it shouldn't
or can I use it at like 500 MP
800 IIRC
since you can only use it after iaijutsu
800 minimum
Sane with despair
So I could do Hakaze -> Jinpu -> Midare Setsugekka -> Hissatsu: Kaiten -> Tsubame-gaeshi -> Gekko?
You can't Kaiten Tsumbae
It seems fairly easy but on scale with other classes is it hardclose
It's already Kaitened by base
Hard*
nailed it
its standing still WHILE mechanics are happening
Damn it, that'd be so powerful ;-;
In exchange, tsumbae already has the potency of a Kaitened iajutsu
for later fights you gotta pre-position and use your abilities to keep casting
I see
ah okay
So what about Hakaze -> Jinpu -> Hissatsu: Kaiten -> Midare Setsugekka -> Tsubame-gaeshi -> Gekko? :p
That should work
!faq samrotation
you want shifu asap
If you haven't Midared for whatever reason at that point
Idk what I'm lookin' at here
It's the rotation for samurai
buffs > higanbana > midare
I know, but I don't understand it with just pictures lol
If my partner no longer has their blank invite, can they not attend their own wedding?
thats what the balance is for
!faq balance
Also, is this hotbar setup useable for SAM?
get rid of stun
switch the 2nd and 3rd hotbar
Where is the 50 kenki attack?
put iaijutsu gekko and tsubame on easier to reach keys
can lvl 70 EX unsynched trials be soloed? Two or three manned?
Soloed is only Lakshami
The 50 kenki ST thing
Rest need multiple
@ripe hound top right?
only lakshmi can be solod. it's pretty easy with 8 tho. PF is your friend
the first 3 doggos are on the moogle tomestone event
No don't suggest that
Oh, is the 50 kenki AOE thing missing instead?
I can’t tell lol
Thanks... PF is definitely not my friend though 😦
Crap, I totally forgot Shoha
at least put stun on a farther key
!action Shona
Senei is 72 or something so it'll be a while
i don't want doggos, just byakko's mane
Oh rain is lv 70? I see
then 7DPS and 1 tank is best for farming
Yup, managed to forget Senei too
!action Senei
Nay, am level 61 on Samurai
oh, interesting, no healer?
I see
!action Hissatsu: Senei
The tank solos the stack
with 515 gear most everyone take like nothing
With a good group, you kill before Tornado
just gun him to the ground asap
neat, thanks!
Also stockpile all Byakko weapons and totems for desynth after the patch
Cause they're fixing primal desynth
ooh yeah i forgot all about that
Wait what?
Some primal weapons just don't
yeah the devs forgot to add the mat as a drop
Oh lol
Desynth to their mat
it was totally random
Like tsukoyomi
Yeah much better
Meikyo
you dont have meikyo
Right, Meikyo Shisui
iajastu should be on the first hotbar, and AoE should be more comfortable for you for leveling
Definitely missing Meikyo
and meikyo on 1st or second hotbar as well
!action Meikyo Shisui
?
Or is Iajastu a diff skill
ye
:p
i cant spell
i personally put iaijutsu on my second hotbar
It is on the first hotbar
honestly i would put all your attacks/buff on 1-5 and everything else on the 6+ keys
Yeah Iaijutsu anywhere is fine
oh its on the 3rd hotbar for AoE
It’s mostly just personal styles, you can change them later if you want
add Meikyo to 1st hotbar and its lookin great
i just add a 4th one
that's why i like leaving spaces
use controller 5head
controller looks so bloody hard for this game
I use 6 hotbars lol
It's some adjustment but it's not bad
controller isnt hard at all
Controller support is probably the best out there
i look at all the keys displayed on mkb and that looks hard 
Yeah keyboards look so messy after getting used to the cross hotbar
then again mine are cursed as well
I'm lucky im still young enough to change fast
I've got a question, I played way in the past and did the main story but forgot what my access was to my account, so i bought the game again with expansions and decided to skip the story quests with one of those adventure things, Can i now for example get to the point where i can start at like level 30 if i complete the quest for machinist or is that stuff impossible at level 1.
If you bought a story skip, then you do have access to the Heavensward jobs - Machinist, Dark Knight, and Astrologian - at their respective guilds in Ishgard.
you still need to get to lvl 50
if you didnt buy the job skip
so now you have to grind
No, if he bought the skip the HW jobs should be unlocked.
You still have to be 50 to unlock them
does it not require lvl 50 to start the quest?
I thought it only required 50 because you technically need to be 50 to get there.
they are there, you still need to be lvl 50 tho even if you buy the skip
is there any bonus item drops in a party in the overworld? example if im farming dodos for their items, will i get more drops in a party of 2 instead of doing it alone?
Nope
Is there a fast way to grind to 50, or am i better off starting a new character? xD
!faq altlvlguide
msq is how you level your first class
but you dont have to do post arr so thats a huge timesave
doing the main story will rocket you past 50 well before you even beat the final ARR quest
If you bought a story skip you basically missed out on all the xp the MSQ gives you.
Just got to lvl 80 pali and no guild quest 🤔
Yeah i got the skip.
have you done your role quests?
the lvl 80 quest requires you to have completed shadowbringers, and your role quest. also they're yellow, not blue
You also must have completed the tank role quest.
Yup done the role quests and done shadowbringers
Which Story Skip did you buy?
Skip ARR right? Cool.
But yeah, you can consider buying a level skip, since then you will be able to play HW story with an HW job
then it should be from jenlyns in ul'dah @reef quiver
yeah i wanted to play machinist because it looked cool, so i thought i could skip story, and then unlock the role
and then play from there
Yeah, you still need a lv 50 job
the other expac jobs just require a lvl and the expac bought
Yeah thats not what the guide said though, so ill get the level skip too.
what guide
One on youtube for beginners.
By who
who was it
it said you needed the main story completed
Weird Guide
betting on des
Yeah, whose guide on Youtube? And from when?
Strange literally every class I get to 80 the guild quest pops in the top left corner but not this one
Oh yeah, you do need MSQ completed, it's just that you also need lv 50 to complete MSQ
the lvl 80 job quest doesnt appear on the msq tracker
So they assume you are lv 50 lol
None of them do
Ginger prime.
its not a 
Cause none of mine show up
no idea who that is
Yeah they have for me, right under the story quests to be continued
it said i needed to complete the story only, so thats why i did what i did.
Are arcanist, summoner and scholar tied together somehow? I seem to be getting xp for all 3 at the same time?
ye
I haven't done any of my 80 quests and none of mine show up
arcanist is the base class for summoner and scholar
So 🤷♂️
Yeah, it kinda just assumed you completed them manually
Wrong Assumption though :p
correct, all 3 share the same base class of ACN. its the outlier of all other jobs
expac jobs dont even have classes
they don't have base classes
I want to use Xivanalysis but they need FFXIVlogs for that, can I disable people reading my log? I mean I am using it to learn my class properly and don't need user to judge me when searching my Character name 
Usually people judge you less if you have bad logs, and judge you much more if you have no logs
hey guys, pretty new to the game and was wondering if anyone knew how to get ventures for retainers?
classes and jobs are separate. semantics in this game are annoying i admit, id rather they just be called classes
!faq retainer
What is a retainer?
A retainer is a private NPC that will act as a personal bank for the player, holding up to 175 different items, that can be summoned to any of the Summoning Bells around the world. Retainers also act as your means to sell on the Market Board.
How to unlock a retainer
First, you must complete the quest The Scions of the Seventh Dawn then go to speak to any of the Retainer Vocates located in the market district of any of the major cities.
What are Retainer Ventures?
Ventures are the means to send out your retainers on missions to bring back items for you and can be unlocked by completing the quest 'An Ill-conceived Venture' (Ul’Dahn), (Gridania), (Limsa Lominsa)
Do an Ill Concienced venture in main cities
thanks!
I know it's wrong, but I definitely feel someone is sus if they don't even have an account on FFlogs
Also you can try uploading a Private log with FFlogs Uploader, and see if xivanalysis can read it
If Private don't work, try Unlisted
Oh that's wonderful thank you!
set it unlisted
Will the crown of the immaculate likely get crafted weapon?
Crown of the Immaculate has accessories not weapons
It has a craftable item but its for the barding and housing item
Yeah that makes sense, was debating on keeping the mats seeing how there are no base weapons
Were there other trials that didn't drop weapons like crown?
Lakshmi
Lakshami
i know lakshmi
Doesn't have weapons
which is why i thought bismarck didnt
Lakshami was the first to start giving accessories
Glowy crafted accessories please.
!item expanse baleen
That's from Bismarck
so it gave 160 weapons?
Will emerald mount trade be available in 5.55 or 5.57?
