Not all shoulder/head minions do it upon command
it doesn't
He's independent lol
he sits on the shoulder/head of his own accord
The Morpho butterfly also does it on their own
is there a way to open specific ui windows with macros? specifically the mount guide and housing menu
I know about the "drag to hotbar" but I was hoping it was macroable
And in contrast, the Koala Joey tries to do it immediately upon being summoned
Most of those windows are macro lines
Go to the macro menu and open up the list to see if it’s there
generally if its an obedient minion, it'll respond to slash commands
oh my god
if its independent, it won't
or atleast requires like the mammeter title for them to do so
Hey, guys, I'm not sure this is the right place for this? But I've seen people place waymarks on the other platform in Diamond Weapon Extreme? How do you do that with the platform not being there?
gotta save the layout after you placed them during the fight
Well we're trying to place them, and you can't place during combat
They set them after killing it then saved them
Don't really need markers for diamond once you know the fight
Yeah, we're still in the process of learning, and markers would have been really helpful.
Yeaaah you could really do it without them but PF is braindead
This is a static group ^^; We're just trying to make things easier on us.
Or join a random PF party, then save their markers
Is UWU harder than UCOB?
Not really?
Ehhhhhh it's a different type of fight I would say
Ucob is longer and more endurance training
I see
Is it bad to use too much aoe?
Uwu is seen as the easiest ultimate, as it's difficulty was the hidden puzzle
No?
Is there anything 61 or higher that can be cleared solo that's relatively time efficient?
No, as long as there are more than 3 or 4 enemies alive
I see, since all puzzles are solved now, and I'm just following guides, UWU is a good start to begin the journey into Ultimates right?
Doing Titans Gaols are kinda ass then it's just do Ultimate mechanic dances
I see, thank you
More or less...need to get the consistency down
Finding an Ultimate static is no different from a Savage Static right?
Just get ready to head bumb the fight enough times?
You go about it the same way
Just make sure the people you get are ready for alot of wiping and generally consistent
I see, I'm planning to try UWU like, sometimes before 6.0, or after 6.0 just release
I see
Wait, 6.0 release is really close to 8 man savage release right?
I think Savage release like... around 6.05?
Is there even x.05?
Yes
Nice
Basically like 6.01
lol
Have there ever been balance changes on a x.01 patch?
Like, "Oh shit this job was not balanced for savage" kind of moments?
Normal release I don't think so? But savage release yeah
yes
I see
were the 5.01 changes
obviously not anythin super major
but there are balances in .01 patches
With normal mode release and extreme modes already out, Devs are getting feedback about things
Nice
.05 will also most likely come with balance changes
Job quests
Yeah, sometimes hundreds of thousands of players might have different experience with the playtest team
Calamity salvager
then buy it from calamity salvagers in the three m ajor cities @wanton ingot
What usually gets released in x.05 patches?
savage is the major thing
Yes
why doesnt the sundry splendor vendor not have anything for DNC?
Near the blue dps people
I see
They do for the ishgard and kugane ones
Cause there's no gear for them under lv60
Since they start at 60
Outside of normal aiming gear
There is a lv 60 poetics weapon for DNC right?
oh i didnt know it wouldnt show unless you were that level lol
Yes
Nah, it's just that DNC begins at lv 60
So no reason to make DNC weapons for lv 50 poetics lol
Dancer starts at 60 and shares gear with ranged physical like bard
yea im lvl 59 was just looking for gear when i tried out dancer
sundry vendors only have gear appropriate for that expansion's content. so the sundry vendors in the 3 starting cities only have lvl 50 stuff
So while it can equip old bard gear there are no weapons below 60
but i guess thats why im not seeing anything for it
the sundry vendor in ishgard has 60, etc
Oh, you unlock the NPC for lv 60 gear once you reach lv 60 I think
i just have 2k poetics and wanted to spend some but i guess ill wait
i dont think that i do lol ty tho
Do you need to unlock Idyllshrine to unlock lv 60 sundry vendor?
Naturally
Or you just need lv 60 job
Cause ishgard sundry splendor unlocks after heavensward completion
All sundry splendors unlock after their respective story completion
you need to complete the main scenario quest "Heavensward" to unlock the ishgard sundry splendor
ye im lvl 59 and not to heavensward yet
You don’t need to complete HW MSQ for DNC right?
No
no
Cool
Only heavensward jobs had story required
Yeah DNC do give you some job gear once you unlock it
Should be good enough gear to complete MSQ
Right, belt
what can i do for xp if im stuck on the no xp quests before heavensward and ive done my duty roulettes for today? i need like 3.2mil xp blaah i want to get dancer already lol
Do MSQ
What job level are you, what job are you, and what MSQ level are you again?
not sure i know what msq means
Story
The plot
ah thats what i thought but story level threw me off
It’s just what level is the current / next story quest
i just finished The Striking Tree trial
Post arr stuff
yea the no xp quests lol 4800 per quest bleh
It's so you don't overlevel for the expansion
Oh my... then, uh, try POTD?
why dont they just cap you at 60 until you start the expansion smh
where do i find the remaining 5 aether currents?
they're 
Blue questd
last one is generally going to be msq however
ok thank youu
do the duty roulettes reset at a specific time or is it like 24 hours from when you completed them? i havent kept track
!daily
!daily
They reset in that time
The last msq quest in that zone usually gives the current
ooohk
if i prepurchase the steam upgrade for endwalker now, i get the earring/minion to use immediately right?
secondary question: i used to live in the eu so my ffxiv acc is eu based, but i moved back to na and my steam acc is na
At level 50 WAR, do you use Heavy Swing -> Maim -> Storm's Eye and then repeat Heavy Swing -> Maim -> Storm's Path?
Yes
if i ,,,, preorder, wont i get the na registration code? i dont remember how i bought the shadowbringers expac
;_;
Aight ty
You would... So need someway to get steam to swap back to Eu briefly or something
hmm
You can try Palace of the Dead if you want to level.
It’s a deep dungeon
i can always upgrade to the collectors edition later though right
yes
mmk
Is there a version of Ironworks gear that don’t have the Cid’s company sticker?
no
keep storms eye up, storms path otherwise
so any advice for someone whos never done this palace of the dead? It sounds really cool lol
can you rename an fc
yes talk to the OIC admin of the GC its tied to
tho keep in mind its a 30 day cd between name changes
and can you have multiple co leaders?
Solo Potd is a challenge, you really only do it for the achievement
no
how come when i complete a trial i dont seem to get the tomestone?
even ones i just cleared for the firsttime?
Are you capped on tomes?
i have like 36

are you doing it on a lvl 50 and are they lvl 50 trials
yup
yess
those are only from nidhogg ex and hades ex
They only come from the duties with the Fanfest logo by the name
No.
ohh i see
Unless they’re marked they won’t give those
For trials
oke oke ty
what other trials?
So, curiously, is there a reason that I am unable to set to my hotbar/execute Heat Blast and Autocrossbow for pvp? PvP profile lists them as abilities, but I can't do anything with them.
Oh trials specifically.
Hades and nidhogg are the only trials
It means another skill turns into it
Heated Combo turns into Heat Blast, Spread Shot turns into Autocrossbow
how can i get to the left side of the map as fast as possible? ^_^
the boat
oh big thanks guys!!!
how much xp do you get per fate at max resistance in Bozja?
thanks, didnt see that 😄
Rank had no effect on xp
sweet thank you
Outside of getting to higher zones
Is there a way to make your mini map bigger?
Increase it in the hud editor
Vexatious Memories also come from Othard FATEs
So Ruby Sea, Yanxia, and Azim Steppe
Most people like the Azim Steppe
Lovely ppl I'm thinking about playing again ffxiv but I'm not sure if it's worthy to save some quids buying the complete ed for mog station instead of steam. what do you think?
If it’s not a brand new account you need to buy the one for the platform your account is on
I just played a realm reborn at the release so I don't really care that
It still matters as you can’t go cross-license for PC
What does this part of the mogstation look like for you?
anyone updated there windows,and ffxiv gets deleted?
I don't have a mog account yet, i played it on ps4 and moved to pc the year after the release, 2013 aprox so I need a new account
mog station working fine then or better If I buy it for steam?
In that case Mogstation/SE store is fine, unless you want to also pay for subscription using steam wallet as an option
Yeah if you were playing on PS4 I would recommend SE edition
Since Steam is just an extra layer of DRM in this situation
Quality doesn't matter in Beast Tribes unless it specifically asks, right? For exp.
Correct
thanks
For most single player games, Steam can be a nice experience. But since FFxiv is an MMO, and SE have their own way of doing things, I won’t recommend steam unless you are already locked in.
You can slide cast as SAM right?
why does it say lv 15 i unlock something but im past lv 15 now and it wont let me learn it

Like, SAM is the only physical “caster” I think lol
It probably means MSQ lv 15
but it says the affinity
If it works like any other spell then it should, yeah.
im confused 
Affinity? Can you take a screenshot?
Have you been keeping up on your class quests?
Thanks a lot @obsidian patio @ripe hound , I'll go for it then.. cheeers 💜💜
scathe is from a class quest
yes
thats a class quest
Yeah do it and you’ll unlock the lv 15 one
If i uninstall the updates,will my game come back?
It's thequest after that, but yeah. Class/job quests unlock abilities--especially in the 30-60 range.
Also, when you look at Thaumaturge, a lot of your kit is not there to see yet. Once you get your job stone, and become a Black Mage, then you'll see the kit is a LOT deeper than first appears.
did you get all the aether quests?
I couldent seem to find the last quest giver aha
oop nvm, ill cross check on the wiki
yea that one, thanks!
It's probably For All the Nights to Come, check the CWH map for blue quests
Have you completed Dusk Vigil?
its caps sensitive
Also not the name of the quest
the quest you're looking for is "For All the Nights to Come"
Look at these coordinates and see if there’s a blue quest at any of them
How do you describe the window between 2 GCDs that you can insert 2 oGCDs?
Like, GCD window? oGCD window?
Between PLD’s Fast Blade and Riot Blade, is there 1 oGCD window or 2?
Or just call it “a single double weave window”?
Oh then it's probably Purple FLame, then
@ripe hound its just the gcd
The one you're missing is probably Protecting What's Important. That NPC gives some normal quests too, so those icons might be overriding them
because you fit 2 ogcds within 1 gcd
Like, how do I say “Ninja have a double weave window after every weapon skill, but only a single weave window after a Ninjitsu.”
I guess I just say this lol
the gcd on ninjutsu is faster
Yeah
I was like: “why was I clipping? Oh Ninjitsu is 1.5s GCD”
Yay!
are serrver close ?
not in japan 😮
it keep saying lobby connection
so during the anima relic step where you put in umbrite and sand and what not
if I cancel that for another weapon, am I refunded of any used sand and umbrite at all?
Hihi, does anyone have any experience chasing after this particular FATE
No
I've been lurking around Central coerthas for 2 days, on and off at times when I go about doing my stuff
Are the server time spawns in the page accurate?
If so then I'm pretty much gonna say good bye to it
Those are times which are hard for me to play
Tried clearing FATEs around the map to spawn it as well
ff14 gearset collection for dungeon sets are still not appearing -.-
If there are Fates that spawn at a specific server time, I've never heard of that
yeah, same. i would take that "tip/trick" with a grain of salt
i dont understand japanese though
chrome translate
you don't need to understand japanese, the site links to lodestone
and you can easily switch lodestone from jp to na by either changing the url or using the language setting at the top
i dont see any button to link
i dont see that icon
its on the individual pieces when you scroll down after clicking on a set
anyone know how fix this?
Is there a place where you can easily check raid/dungeons rewards like minion and mounts?
Clicking the lodestone icon takes you to the lodestone and then you just change the lodestones language but thats doesnt do anything to the ff14 armoury site
it gives you the information on where that piece of gear drops...
since you can't read japanese, it means you can use armoury collect as an easy to browse website for gear sets and then be directed to lodestone to figure out where you can get the items
Also since its japanese , itakes ages to load
it doesn't take long to load for me
@proud willow yea honestly its the first time I've seen it as well. Granted I'm still on the free trial
https://ffxivcollect.com/ has available minions/mounts/etc and shows where they drop
A quick search from a reddit post 3 years ago, days the FATE spawns literally once every 3-8 hours based on different accounts of people
I miss the site where it showed every piece individually also had every gearset from every content you could imagine
If I'm playing a thaumaturge, should I only cycle between fire and blizzard? If not, when do I use like thunder or scathe or addle etc?
MP management on THM/BLM is different than what you might expect from a class with MP
you should continue using Fire until you can't cast it anymore
then Transpose to use Blizzard a few times until your MP is full again
ideally anything not fire in ice phase
Thunder can be cast once during ice phase
Ah right, thanks! That's what I do but I just never found a use for these other spells, lol.
I have to do this sastasha dungeon first time now, so I need to learn to play properly 🤣
is hoh good for 60-70
addle is only needed at very high end content to reduce boss magic damage
Okay, thanks! I tried to do sastasha myself but died like 7 times killing the first 2 groups of enemies 😄
Hoh is the deep dungeon for 60-70 so yes
61-70, but yes if your dungeon queues are 15+mins
my mount music volume keeps increasing and decreasing randomly. what gives?
the volume decreases whenever you stop moving
And when you start moving again, raises up appropriately
huh you're right. weird design
There's a mission called "A Lone Wolf Rides Again" (I've not unlocked it yet), but online guides are saying I use a bunch of Kamuy fifes to unlock a special 6 tailed fox mount.
Do I need to have those items in the inventory, and un-used for making a mount?
You need the mounts in your collection
Oh I see!
Thank you both. Well I'm certainly buying at least one of the mounts with my Irregular tombstones then
for collecting the bitter memories for the third tier resistance weapon, can you get them by running solo lv 60 dungeons or do they have to be synced with 4 party members?
has to be sync'd
is there a way to sort of simulate being able to attack while turned away like you can in standard movement with legacy controls?

you can in both controls?
Is there a optimal way to complete The Resistance Remembers quest?
I'm just returning to the game after a while of not playing, and the quest admittedly seems kind of daunting ..
you only have to do the step once, so if you want more than 1 relic do not fear lol
but other than that basically just do fates while queueing for either void ark or royal city
those are the fastest, by a lot (like 10 mins faster than the other raids)
Is there a recommended npc to grind out the triple triad roulette matches? Need to win 300 matches
what time is 5.55 coming out
which floor is the one they repeat in HOH
21-30
May 24, 2021 8:00 p.m. to May 25, 2021 3:00 a.m. (PDT), though there's a possibility it made end sooner
What does the star mean?
Those require more stats than regular 60s I’m pretty sure, it’s similar with crafters
they basically indicator higher difficulty compared to other same level craft/gathered items
the Q time rn at least to even start HOH at floor one is trash. is it hard to solo the first 20 floors ?
hmm without no aetherpool isn't not going to be a walk in the park
even on ninja or blm ? or pld/gnb?
your aetherpool is effectively your gear for potd/hoh, so little to no aetherpool means you're not very strong. and going in solo means you to be cautious since a wipe means you're out and don't progress
You could make a party for hoh and tell people you need progress
can certainly trying soloing it yourself if you want, but i'd personally just wait the queue time or try and make a party finder for it
I have a free account and am trying to unlock Halatai. I am on level 20 of the MSQ, but the NPCs in front of the Dungeon won't let me in. What am I doing wrong?
did you do the quest hello halatali
did you do the quest "hello halatali"?
The website said that you get that from the NPC at the entrance, but it is not offered.
no
its from nedrick in vesper bay
Hello Halatali is from nedrick in western thanalan
which website?
Did anyone face some werid issues with SE store after doing purchases for pre order?
I had friends who ordered the box set, then received OOS emails after though their orders were done before others
This might be a dumb question- But, can you make Gil at the casino? Not just MGP? I went int here when i was lower level with like 3K. and when I left a few hours later i had like 17K and I dont know where it came from, lol
You can’t
Also received confirmation emails, but when checking the SE online store, the item wasn't reflected
@empty kestrel you can, from challenge logs
Did you do dungeons/roulettes while in the gold saucer? Mobs in dungeons give Gil
If u complete challenges from challenge logs, you are awarded gil
it must of been those. I did complete a fair few
But it's from doing the log and not from the actual mini games
If u play mini games, and do a few rounds of triple triad
You can checknthe list from your challenge log
im not too sure where I got all the money then. But, what i do know is the triple triad master's card should be 100% drop chance. Or she should stop explaining the game after you've already played it lmao
Might’ve been Gil from the “complete x amount of challenge log entries” challenge
i just started and am lvl 13, when do i get a mount?
!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.
spell speed or direct hit rate for rog
Direct hit
Spell speed is useless for them
It’s only for caster and healer classes
rogue doesnt use spell speed
thank you both .
I wanna start tanking but when there are two tanks in an activity what does the tank who isn't tanking do?
ok thats what I thought but wanted to make sure that it was correct. thank you
If I buy game on steam will my data transfer from the original?
did you buy the game on windows?
I have game through square enix store
Many higher-end boss fights (extreme trials and savage raids) feature mechanics that require tank swaps
e5s just has a birb that instakills if anyone gets close
A handful of fights do auto attacks on the top two player on the aggro list
so the off tank has to kite that
for dps role is it normal being on q for 20m ?
So you'd need two tanks there to soak up damages
yes
yep
Yes, Sarem
after 60 it gets to like 30 mins
when i was a healer it way instant..
healers always get instant queues
healer bad /s
tanks can take a bit longer but are usually pretty fast too
I've officially learnt what pain feels like
how im i suppost to level my dps jobs if it takes long.
When I select a boss, I notice that in addition to the target ring, there's a rotating line going around in a circle at the bottom, can I turn this off?
Reasons for slower Dps queue: new players usually play dps
you deal with it
Veteran players leveling Dps jobs

also theres more dps classes in the game than any other role
By ratio, there are more DPS jobs
does anyone have a nice drawing for anti air and wide angle e9s? trying to teach two new tanks 🙂
4 tanks, 3 healers, 10 Dps
i didn't touch crafting yet
there was one glorious moment right after Heavensward was released when DPS queues were instant because everybody want to be a DRK. otherwise long DPS queues are just a thing you deal with
Don't forget AST
Is there a way to set the camera to not zoom-in on my person when in a tight space?
pretty sure it was mostly DRK 😛
it was predominately drk, yeah
im happy that im a main healer. but surly i want to try ninja and bard.
AST was actually...not really high priority for a lot of people
@leaden ginkgo well your camera can't go through the wall
and understandably so because release ast was rather painful
not in NA
hes on light
Sarem is on light
so hes EU
It's just when something is attacking you from behind.. it's cumbersome. I'm just wondering if there is a setting that I can set.
it looked green on my screen 
now why crystal and light are almost the same its a bruh moment
crystal is purple
its 5 am on my local idk about the other
Y'all see that little line going round the target ring? Can I get rid of that or is that there to stay?
I always press to check
light is weird blueish
I don't remember the color at all
I use a controller, too.
Stay
no
i dont even notice the thing
I noticed it but with a few raids I will adapt, it's no worries, thank you for the answers.
👌
who has good utility buffs for party along side bard
literally every dps except sam blm and mch
i mean the most
DNC
dancer unless you count rezz as utility
Ninja
dnc and bard are similar
DNC has less party buffs but stronger pocket buffs
BRD songs has natural buff, but it is very tiny
a SAM or BLM with a pocket is nasty for DPS
But BRD should have full song uptime
Therefore, it is essentially a permanent buff
!action Mage's Ballad
Deals unaspected damage with a potency of 100.
Additional Effect: Grants Mage's Ballad to all party members within 30 yalms, increasing their damage dealt by 1%
Duration: 30s
Additional Effect: 40% chance to grant Repertoire when damage over time is dealt by Caustic Bite or Stormbite Repertoire Effect: Resets the recast timer of Bloodletter and Rain of Death
This action does not share a recast timer with any other actions. Furthermore, the recast timer cannot be affected by other actions.
DNC group utility: a group attack buff, group heal, group defense (all ranged Dps has a group defensive skill)
MCH has a group defensive skill and nothing else
Different strokes for different folks
👍
rdm, nin, monk, drg all have good utility
RDM has rez and a group power buff
for now im think of leveling nin drg and bard
SMN has a weak regen, and rez
Personally speaking, I find DRG animation quite satisfying
i will level every job eventally but it takes time since all of them are Dps role
NIN is too
i like drg because of his mobility skills
DRG will share gear with the Endwalker Dps job
play DRG
I hope you will find something you like
definitely DRG
Is there a command for dropping a flag at X,Y directly (like a reverse <flag>)? For instance, I can use /echo <pos> to link my coordinates to chat and then I can click the coordinates to drop the flag, but navigating to the chat log and selecting the message can be clunky on a controller, particularly if on the move chat is moving fast. Is there a way to pull this off in a macro?
sure xD
Nope
if i switch classes in que what will happen
Nothing
nvm
You just need to switch back to the class you queued up as to accept the queue when it’s ready
Ah well RIP
So when my and my friend got to the point where we had to choose between storm, flame, and whichever else people- I didnt know we would have to split off to different areas and do different shit for awhile. How long will it be until we meet back up to play together again?
Like 2 or 3 quests
petition to rename Gridania's GC 'the whichever else people'
lmao
The GC leaders: merlwyb, raubhan, and the other one
Among DPS classes, caster, melee, ranged physical DPS roles have different dungeon waiting time?
no
nah
theyre all dps
im tryna get to where i can unlock dark knights so i can tank with them

I got a question as a black mage. Im level 36, and i just feel super squishy. Like, how many mobs should I be able to take on at once around my level?
Should i buy gear off vendors around my level? Would that be worth it
Hey guys this one is a lil weird. I am playing as an ACN level 28. I got my summon level 2, and my pet has a skill called GLITTERING TOPAZ. This skill was on my hotbar for a while, but then it just went away and it says that skill cant be on a hotbar. But it was? and i had it there before? so I am unsure as to what I did lol. Was that a glitch?
do this quest to get a chocobo companion to heal you and help DPS
Oh, okay yeah that seems useful
BLM is the squishiest
is it?
until manaward yeah
Pet skills for Arcanist and for SUmmoner are accessed through the spells Egi Assault I, Egi Assault II, and Enkindle. While you have the pet summoned, those skills transform into that pet's equivalents. So you just need to add those three skills to your bar, and they'll turn into the right skill when you swap pets.
SMN has a heal for early game and RDM has one for lategame
ohhhh ok ty that makes sense. I could not figure it out lol. THANKS !!
hmmm i though summoner was pretty squishy but maybe that's because it was my first class and i wasn't used to the controls yet
Summoner can do Titan memes and manaward itself on cooldown so it's not that squishy.
can you only choose one profession? (unsure if that is what they are called) but like weaver, miner, goldsmith, etc...
You can take as many classes that are crafter (Disciples of the Hand) or gatherers (Disciples of the Land) as you wish. They're also full classes with ability progressions and gear, and such.
Trying to play FFXIV on my PS5 but I’m confused about what version to download. There’s one that says Upgrade Edition (beta version) and there’s one that says Free Trial
If you want to try the Free Trial, take Free Trial.
thank you! i assume each one allows you to do different things? sorry, i am new and everything i search on reddit / youtube seems to be 2 years old and am unsure if it is outdated or not.
'Upgrade Edition' is for existing PS4 players.
thank u as well
they all craft different stuff, but the basic kit is the same
yeah google can have old info
Make/repair/gather different things. Every crafter lets you meld.
good call to check with us
Oh ok. I saw a Reddit post that said that one gad a 30 day clock, I wasn’t sure
Neither do.
Free trail has Heavensward right?
yes
Hi does anyone know how to get dolphin and gull minion?
I went fishing and encountered the flock and pod but didn’t get the buff toward achievement
So I’m wondering if I missed something
basically just have to keep ocean fishing whenever its up
the flock/pods appearing don't necessarily mean you'll get the buff though
The gull and dolphin buff actually has to activate
its rng ultimately
How do you know if it activates? The captain did a shoutout and I saw the animals go by so I figured that was it
you'll get a buff on your bar
You.get the buff
Oh I see 😅. Got my hopes up. Thanks I’ll keep fishing then. And if one person sees it everyone gets it that’s on the boat?
!buff Cetaceous Speed
!buff Gullstorm
and yes, everyone will get the buff
Awesome. Thanks!
Hello, my friend is very interested in starting FFXIV but wants to start gunbreaker ASAP
can he purchase up to Shadowbringers, jump pot a random char to 60, and have the ability to Gunbreaker ?
yeah, can buy the complete edition, job skip whatever job to 70 and then go unlock gunbreaker in gridania
keep in mind GNB is a lot to start with
have them hit a dummy for a while to get the basics down
Does anyone know the name of the song of when you go into The Resonatorium in quest "Echoes of an Echo" in Stormblood?
Anyone else having issues with the optional item store?
i have a really dumb question. Im out doing mining, and im on the 2nd quest to get bone chips. But no mineral deposit i find has them. Are they not in mineral deposits?
is 5.55 on Tuesday?
Yes
Is it the patch with the new guitar for Bards?
If I take a quest to farm memories of the dying, do I{ have to remain on the same job I took it on, or is that only required for the turn in?
if you click on the map name in your gathering log, it'll show you the area where the nodes with that item spawn
Yes
No, you can be any for all shadowbringers stuff
Sweet thanks
Thank you!
When I'm turning in Blue/Green itemes for Grand Company, it won't accidentally sell anything I'm using in my Sets, right?
As long as you have the setting turned on to not show them
Best way to lvl up? Besides rulets?
Highest level dungeon available
What about raids?
8 person Raid and trials dont give much xp
Alliance raids are good on-level but not worth it otherwise I find
I see
use the drop down menu to adjust it hide gear set items
Fates?
Do those while in queue
Fates are ok if need a small amount of xp to level while waiting for queue
They are only worth doing when there are people around
I am lvl 55 which region do i search fates in?
Stormblood and shadowbringers ones. Hw and arr fates dont give much in relation to xp scaling
I believe 55 is churning mists territory
ah okay thank you, my friend will be ecstatic to hear he can get to play gunbreaker early
Thank yew
does haukke manor like require higher dps? just got here and i dont feel like im hitting as hard?
As long as your lvl 28 that's all that matters
Just make sure you have decent gear on for more dps
It gets easier skills wise with job stone but manor is one of the uncomfortable dungeons where even capped its going to be annoying to get ot over with
True
I am super new and need help to try to get into this game because I really want too
i'm at msq17 and duty finder won't pop... is there a way to do the content solo?
Qn: are buff pots (Intelligence increase etc) in this game usually 15s only? Or are there much stronger ones I can buy
Try (x24,y26)
@jade willow no
well im so far ahead in levels than MSQ due to preferred so
damn this is rough
@native flume do the msq and your class quests
gear is meh i guess
you’ll just have to wait bc dps queues are generally slow
i'm a tank but yeah ^^
Gear starts to look better at 50
noooo it's saturday bro
oh right
i guess it's japan so weekends dont exist
still morning isnt peak hours
Ok sounds good I’ve just been trying to get into it for a while and i just have a hard time when I’m laying alone
Playing
what does it mean: "of the 47 parties currently recruiting, all match your search conditions" ?
it means theres people in PF
U just gotta wait it out bro, one of my dungeon queue lasted for 130 mins kekw
wow
but usually it pops, no matter the time
the nodes are called mineral deposits....
For both?
nm you're right
If your dungeon q's are taking to long don't be afraid to use shout chat in one of the main city's and ask for help
Better more accurate answer: Try (x24,y26) as those nodes are where the bone chips are. The area you are in has different stuff
I'm sure someone will be willing to help especially look for tank or healers faster q's
or they can just do as i said and click on the map name in the gathering log and it'll open up the map to show them where the nodes are
If you click on the gatherable material in log, it shows where to go
That area that it shows includes the area they're in.
why does he use lucid dream in his rotation
SMN barely use up mp
they made a qol change to the gathering map so it actually shows you where the nodes are
There's two different mining 'cycles' in Spineless Basin, they're in the wrong part of Spineless Basin
in a very easy to know location
is that desperius
that doesnt look like the balance rotation
Placeholder for potion is my guess
Does anyone recommend a starting class because I’m a lance right now but it’s not the best so far
I dunno why it's used there, but I sometimes use it as the first part in a double weave to make sure the second ogcd is properly timed
arcanist imo
@native flume all classes are fine
it was originally there for ghosting reasons
Go conjurer boomboomman
if u use arcanist you get two jobs for one
pick a class you think has a cool aesthetic
They’re in gridania assumedly since they started as lancer
doesn't lucid only give mp regen
yes
Just came back to the game after a very long time and my registration code doesnt work so i have no clue how to play
What's the most useful crafting class to first level up?
All of them
@slender pier did you already use the registration code before?
Culinary and Blacksmith
Your thinking to much into it just use it when your mo gets low @vital ruin
Do you not have access to your old account log in info?
i dont have the one time code thing
even if it's 9k?
i have the game on steam
if you didnt make a one time password then leave it blank
One time password is the authenticator. Do you have either a physical keyfob that you ordered in, or did you use a phone to get a 6 digit code that you entered in to log in, when you previously played?
how would i go about getting a new registration code
so you bought the game before
and you bought it on steam?
yah
Okay, do you still have that phone?
then you just need to sub
Or keyfob?
i didnt have old account so i need a new reg code for a new account
Let's try to be clear. Are you attempting to log in to your original game account, or are you trying to start a new one?
if you bought the game on steam then your steam account is tied to your ff14 account
i dont like double weaving my ping isn't great
Okay, which platform are you using?
then don't do it
ill have to pass ig
and skip the lucid
ya
steam @short jasper
Okay. And did you use steam before?
yah
Is strafing faster than running foward?
no
Okay. Your Steam ID is already identified with an account, so you won't be able to use Steam to grab a registration code again--it'll just give you the old code you first had and of course, you already used that. So you're going to need to use a different method.
it's the same speed.
Allow me a moment.
Collectables seem to have changed since i did this last do we have a macro
Ok I’m trying conjurer
https://freetrial.finalfantasyxiv.com/gb/ Use this webportal to create a new account. Don't select any steam option, just create a new account directly through square enix. Pretend Steam doesn't exist for you for this game for now. This will let you build a new account, and give you a new registration code and all that.
Heavensward expansion now included in the Free Trial! Play up to level 60 for free without time restrictions.
gathering or crafting
free trial doesnt need a registration code
Gathering right now
(i know that, don't confuse the lad, just let them go do it)
What’s so good about conjurer?
!faq dolcollect
They are the best healer in the game until level 30.
Of course, they're the only healer in the game until level 30.
Ohhhh ok that doesn’t sound to bad
Also WHM is fairly solid, it's not too complicated to pick up, and it does decent enough work especially if you're learning.
And you get fast dungeon q's which is big
Yeah Healer is the most in demand role
Ok sounds good thanks for the advice
It’s braindead, just like don’t forget to attack things
its a healer but you still mostly need to do damage
dont be the guy who only heals
True
the tank WILL get mad
I can imagine lol
Since like, before around lv 30, you are often the only one in the party that have a DoT to attack multiple enemies.
Tanks have AOE, but DPS only have ST skills
I’m just trying to get into a groove with it so I’m so new to it lol
a lot of dps have aoes at low levels
Right, I think it's mostly Melee having bad AOE at low level?
I truly do want to get into it I just wish I had someone to play and help me figure it out
join the novice network or a guild
@short jasper if i just made an account with a user i liked before this
can i wipe that account
and get the username back
Imo it is best to start out as a healer or tank lvl it to up pretty high so you can lvl up your other classes with the 50% exp boost
all first jobs level at the same rate since youre going to be doing msq @tribal anvil
how do i join an fc?
check the recruitment channel or community finder
I don't know. Honestly creating and destroying and creating and destroying accounts repeatedly might lead to problems down the pipe, so I wouldn't recommend this, especially because user names are not player-facing in game anyways.
!faq communityfinder
your square enix ID is not your in game username
oh
Yeah, the only 'user name' that shows in game is PSN ids for PSN players.
You can ask for an invite through a community finder recruitment page or by messaging someone ingame. You can also right-click on someone ingame, view their company's profile, and then select the "apply" button there if they have applications available.
and those player does not have PSN ID at the bottom = PC player.
correcto
what pops up above my head then
Your character name.
your characters first and last name
Character name.
yes
Feel free to delete character names (so long as they're on your account.) If you had a name you liked, if you create that character on a different world server, you'll be able to use that name again if no one else has.
also that link from before looked like the british link

Hello.
Where can I ask questions regarding Beast Quests? Light spoilers.
here
Thank you.
Wanted to know, why are we being asses to Kobolds during the Kobold beast quests?
What do you mean, exactly?
cos they're lazy dumbasses who would have zero motivation if we weren't kicking them in the ass
The 789th are a bunch of layabouts and we're kicking their butts into gear
this game seems designed to work poorly when it comes to download and account support
And making them stand up for themselves
yeah it is
Im now recognized, and all quests so far have been:
- Steal Lunch.
- Destroy evidence of laziness by harming/killing other kobolds.
- Stealing others ore.
- Insult other kobolds till they want to kill you, then kill them.
How is doing all this getting them motivated?
the que times for garuda ex is just unbearable is there like a tip to get in to the trial alot quicker
?
dont queue for EXs
Seems more like im making permanent enemies instead.
Because you don't usually queue for EXs
Or at all
but i want the mount
Unsync it
owhh
The other kobolds are already pretty permanent enemies.
you can do trials solo?
!faq unsync
In your duty finder window select the ⚙️ icon on the top left to open up the duty finder settings window.
Inside that window select the setting undersized party before confirming and entering the instances of your choice. NOTE: UNSYNC-ING AN INSTANCE WILL FORFEIT ALL OF YOUR EXP AND COMPLETION REWARDS. Poetics from a first time completion bonus and loots chests remain the same and will not be lost. You may not queue for daily roulettes using this method.
What is different about the rewards from savage fights as opposed to normal fights? Better gear?
savage has the the best gear at the time
although they drop tokens, not straight up gear (except in the last floor)
Much better gear and gear upgrade materials
@remote lintel has all the answers. Haha
There's also a unique mount that drops from the final floor of each savage tier.
Except a8s
Also the raid weapon.
For some reason
So our scion isnt working to reconcile with them, at all. Just further spread the hate. Makes no sense to me.
Why make enemies of ALL kobolds just to get along with one lazy ass group?
The Scions aren't involved.
And first off, it's mostly comic relief so don't take it too seriously.
So its not canon? Or somewhat canon?
It's completely canon
Basically you're doing it because you feel bad for them.
And because the other kobolds who you're fighting against are horrible and abusive, plus already sworn enemies of mankind, and would happily see the 789th all die of starvation.
Umm, I get the starvation bit, but where do we learn 'horrible and abusive'?
Or did i miss it?
Zo Ga in one of the first quests comes down and says they should all die.
Basically, the kobolds number the tribes based on worth. There are 789 tribes. That should give an idea of what that beast tribe ranks.
Only Zo Ga, not everyone else. The rest seem as much victim of Zo Ta + societal structure.
The 789th are a faction willing to cooperate with mankind and they're sympathetic although not without their vices like laziness--mostly due to depression and unwillingness to believe they can change their lot.
Zo Ga has influence and power, and many underlings.
He is of the 13th order, very high up in kobold society.
That much I understand. What I dont get is being told to kill/ sabotage others for something everyone is a victim of: their society.
Zo Ga excepted
Many others think like Zo Ga.
Moreover, we're probably not killing anyone.
Though it should be noted that koboldkind is effectively at war with Limsa Lominsa, so they are enemy combatants.
Because of Limsa Lominsa themselves. They have every right.
So tl:dr, near all kobolds are an ass to 789th, so we are being as ass back.
It's a centuries-old conflict which the kobolds started, it's a bit more complicated than that.
But yeah that tl;dr is basically what's going on
I think this has run its course for the #questions-and-help channel, though
Last question please?
Hi, a very specific question to ask. I'm getting married in the game, and my friend and I think it'd be funny if we fantasia'd while in the dressing room and come out looking completely different. Would anyone know if we can fantasia/log out at that point in the wedding?
it might kick you outside of the sanctum when you log back in since its an instance
but probably
Is the lunar bahamut triple triad card obtained from the latest dungeon?>
yes
Go ahead
Thank you!
In the ARR titan quest, Yashtola said Limsa Lominsa attacked first officially, though small fights for ore happened before that.
So who drew first blood? Limsa, or the Kobolds?
According to both sides, the other broke the treaty first.
And both are right. And wrong.
does the vendor for law's order armor only unlocks when you have done delubrum?
yeah
Cause you need delubrum coins for it
whats the cheapest non crafting trade in for anima weapon crystal sand? is it thav mist+ink?
amber vilekin
So no one knows. Got it.
Thank you so much!
i see thanks
Also, is the Shinryu TT card like incredibly rare or something? I've done his duty a ton unsynced before but I don't think I ever saw anyone get the card
Does it only drop when you've truly unlocked TT?
also i didnt get a direct answer from this earlier, but how do you turn while attacking/casting with legacy controls?
The conflict between man and kobold began about 700 years ago, when refugee settlers from Aerslaent arrived on Vylbrand, a landmass which appeared completely uninhabited. They built a few villages on shore but after a few years were suddenly attacked without warning and massacred by the kobolds, who by all accounts they had not known were there.
@potent lava you cant
This began a long history of animosity.
aw, dang
60 years ago, mankind and kobolds made a pact: "to the kobolds go the bounty of the land, to man goes the bounty of the sea". This wording was very vague and differences of interpretation would cause future problems
sounds to me like eorzea needs lawyers
Limsa needed more land to sustain itself--land which the kobolds held sacred, but apparently weren't actually using for much of anything
so they built some farms
Limsa was also facing war for survival against the Sahagin at the time so they were pretty desperate.
The kobolds viewed this as a violation of the treaty and hostilities resumed
And have basically continued ever since.
@jade quartz ooooh, okay. I see. Thank you for explaining so much!
And Sorry for asking again, but is there a site I can learn all this lore?
So did the kobolds ever live outside of the mountain? Did Limsa push them into there or was that where they've always been?
They flared up especially bad when they first summoned their primal, Titan, 15 years ago.
a bit unclear.
there are sites with lore compilations but they contain a lot of spoilers as well
It's kinda scattered everywhere, but all this history specifically can be found in the transcription of the official lorebook's Sixth Astral Era timeline, here: https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Sixth_Astral_Era/Timeline
Neither side of the conflict is righteous, and neither is evil either.
They're both at fault but also both have their reasons.
is this all like 1.0 stuff
We have some lore resources pinned in #archived-lore-spoilers
or external media like books
@jade quartz Ooooooh, I see.
Thank you so much!
an especially good compilation of resources is Sounsyy's archives: https://mirkemenagerie.tumblr.com/post/167534982764/mirkemenagerie-update
They gather together loads of relevant bits of dialogue, lorebook entries, dev statements etc. to do with various different lore topics, to get a more complete picture.
yeah i usually use sounsyy's tumblr to look up lore
There are two official lorebooks which you can buy from the SE store, though you'll usually have to wait for the occasional times they come back into stock
Encyclopaedia Eorzea, volumes I and II
in unsynced bahamut coil solo, for t12, how do you survive the teraflare without LB? i cant find video explaining it
As sch, is there any difference between the faries now?
nope
but selene is prettier
Selene is summon 2?
so I cannot unlock samurai with free trial right ?
correct, you need to own stormblood in order to be able to become samurai
oh shit
and stormblood comes with shadowbringers
yeah so I gotta wait till I am ready to purchase to play as a samurai lol
DPS matters in all battle content, except the second boss of Bardam's mettle.
can i dye gear without glamouring it?
just got new gear and want to dye it but dont have another of the same set to glamour plate
you can just use the dye on the piece
