And quick synth is disabled for all collectables
totally dont know how to use macro
Go to #612757637813239808 to get the doh role, then head to #doh-dol-lounge and look in the pins
there's an Ishgardian Restoration guide there which includes macros you can use for collectables at all levels
Thank you all.
Hello everyone 🙂
Just wanting to know if there is still a limit to how much Gil can be transferred when moving your character to another world?
999,999,999 gil per character and retainers
Sweeet thanks, was just wanting to know as I’m returning and the limit was A LOT lower before
i found it but didn't know much what does the numbers means
<wait.2> means to wait 2 seconds
<se.2> is just a sougn effect
and /ac "skillname" does the skill
no the 121 120 246
The three numbers at the top are the stats required: Craftsmanship, Control, CP
Yes it is, it's the purple bar by your HP
you either are missing payment, or trying to launch your account that is a steam version on a "normal windows launcher" -nonsteam or opposite.
or you are using the normal launcher isntead of the free trial launcher
im using steam
then you are either missing a sub
No
try to login to mogstation and see
I just bought a sub
ok, so what does your account type say?
My friend on PC is having a problem. Says unable to complete version check whenever he launches
Have them try this:
!faq quicklauncher
where do i check
!faq mogstation
Why use third party stuff
It solves practically all the problems the official launcher has.
if it says (Steam) here, then you are on steam https://img.thaun.dev/6gqfa.png
it's just to make sure
Hi Guys new to this game so I thought it would be better to join the discord to see some tips , first location is UK which server is best to play and why chaos or light what's the differences ?
How is line strat in es12 different from bilibili
you can either launch the game without steam
!faq worldpick
You can play on any world on any datacenter within FFXIV. Aside from the languages spoken, the physical location of the servers, and the status of each world, there are no major differences. This also means population on a given server is quite meaningless.
The majority of content is cross-world, with the exception of Free Companies, Linkshells, and restrictions when visiting other worlds.
If you don't mind where you play, choose a world that is Preferred or New for character creation bonuses. Check world status by using !status <world name> or via the Lodestone. For information about the status types, use !faq worldtype.
Notable worlds:
- Balmung & Mateus (Role-playing)
- Tonberry & Kujata (Large amount of Oceanic players)
- Moogle (Large amount of French players)
- Shiva (Large amount of German players)
ANY CENSUSES OR WORLD STEREOTYPES BEYOND THIS IS INACCURATE BIAS AND SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY
One gives more uptime than the other?
or launch it while removing --issteam launch argument trough steamedit
boot up the game directly
at
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\FINAL FANTASY XIV Online\boot\ffxivboot64.exe
you can right click that file and create a shortcut, then add it to desktop, or you can add it as a non-steam game in steam.
👍
53gb to download now 💀
can you dye weapons?
sounds like you haven't been playing for a while then
some weapons.
How is line strat different from.bilibili
Isn’t it breaking terms of service?
Strictly speaking, yes.
But it's widely used and safe.
ACT is also breaking terms of service, but it is used by virtually the entire raiding community and tacitly allowed by SE. Just don't talk about it in public channels ingame.
is lomisa one of the mosty crowded cities in ffxiv ?
Does SE allow cactbot too cuz I seen some streamers use it too
SE does not read your game installation to find out if you have addons.
it's a don't-ask-don't-tell basis
yeah, they can't verify your local game files
so really, you can do whatever you want if it's not obvious to others
Cactbot is viewed much more unfavourably by both the devs and a lot of players, though
hello can any1 help me with my game im currently having a error with my game everytime i load up my game it gives me a error and i cant play the game because of it if you can help me plz hmu if so
devs view cactbot as subverting the game, players view cactbot as you'd have to be really bad to need it
Is it best way to play through PC? Or PS4 or steAm ?
Any
Though PS4 has pretty slow loading times.
I don't understand this table. How to get crystal sand? It's only craft? Or I can get them for company seals? It says I can get "moonstone" for them, but what next? How to exchange these moonstones for sand?
Just turn in blue scrips
You can exchange any of those options for Crystal Sand with the NPC Ulan.
So basically can get all the sand with company seals, thank you
Scrips are generally the most efficient option if you have crafters leveled
My friend is a crafter, what should I do?
And if you ocean fish, that gives a decent amount of gatherer scrips per trip
doesn't help, the scrip tokens are untradeable.
well, no scrips then
moonstones from Grand Company doesn't seem like a good option, since it requires around 1.5mil seals
Which is why we’re suggesting that you get the blue scrips
Just level a crafter/gatherer, it ain’t hard
I don't want to
Of dont mind developing carpel tunnel, amber emcased volekin is free. If dont mind time sink or market bored rng primal drops (would recommend)
Otherwise crafting/gathering scrip is best (using weekly delivery if dont want to grind scrip)
Hi. Do we have unofficial SEA server besides tonberry and kujata?
The Elemental datacentre in general
those are just the two biggest hubs.
They're both available for character creation if you wait until the early hours of the morning
when using macro for crafting i have to press the macro key and synthesize after it fisinhed ? everytime
Umm, morning as in what region time?
SEA/JP/OCE
how does one grind a job level very quick ?
!faq joblvlguide
If using a macro to craft dont need anything other than materials, and that the macro works (skills required and stats appropriate for the recipe). 100% progress always finishes regardless of quality phase in macro
Do the highest level dungeons you can. Eat food
i mean once the recipe finish i have to press again synthsize and the macro key
It's just that I just got a rogue class so I wanted to advance it forth enough to make it my main class and make it into a ninja
Okay, thanks
Yeah theres no bulk crafting of macroed things available (in game)
worth mentioning the new expansion in Fall will bring proper oceanic datacenters
So I better find some friends here who can help me reach level 19 as rogue lol
Anyone here understand how to breed birds
Aka chocobos
I retired my chocobo it's not letting me accept the quest to breed them and idk what to do lol to make a new one
Because they'll be new you'll be able to transfer to them for free
I'm confused hardcore
It also has "acquired through marketboard" materias, isn't this the fastest way? I can just buy them and exchange in few minutes
Oh, sweet. Thanks
Hey kat
Does anyone know????
is there a way I can change what color waymarks are; for accessibility?
Since the both tonberry and kujata is constantly full, I'm considering starting on garuda first
@bronze finch make in morning NA is when I made mine or afternoon
Nvm, I'm going for carpel tunnel. I need to do 200 levequests anyway, so here I go
Or wait. 200 levequests I need for a title must be specifically from Grand Company? Or I can do any of them, while just being in the Grand Company? How does it work

Does "The Ghimyl dark" give more exp than Castrum Abania ?
also what does this mean? I can't do it via raids anymore?
no
level cap dungeons always give less xp
but more other stuff, usually tomestones
what msq level does ARR finish?
50
though you will likely spend as much time with quests at lvl 50 as you spent with quests to lvl 50
because of the post patch story
Exactly, most people use blue crafter scrips nowadays
chill buddy
If no one answers your question it's usually because no one knows the answer (right now at least)
I don't want to level craft. Not yet, at least. If I'll do HW levequests — will they count towards my Grand Company?
I got it to rank 40
You'll get seals but it'll take waaaaaaaay longer
There are only 20 ranks of chocobo, so it's not the rank. It's level, which is always the same as yours
I'm asking because I wanted to do Flamesworn title, which requires 200 levequests done for the Grand Company. So I ask are HW levequests are counting towards the title or I must do specifically levequests in Thanalan
You'll also be limited by your level allowances
wdym
Amber vilekin only has a chance to drop in hw leves
You can only accept so many leves at a time
You get 6 allowances every 12 hours
Once you use them all up
No more leves for you
Those are grand company leves. Arr only
Vile grind also isnt finishing 100 leves but spamming retry and watching for the chest to appear
Alright, let's pretend I'm ready to level a craft from 0. How fast I'm going to get 80 sands
A) you don't need 80
B) you can get a crafter from 1-80 easily with gil and foundation in the space of a day or so give or take job quests
I'm pretty sure quests tells me to get 80
You'd want to be near ish level 60 to start custom deliveries and that's an easy source of scrips
And if you’re high enough in your GC there’s a item to boost crafter exp up to lv 50
2nd Lieutenant
The first 120 points are guaranteed to need 40 sand, but the second 120 each sand can five 3-6 points
So it's rng but there's a low chance you'll need 80
Are FATEs actually worth doing in terms of time to XP. Feels like the higher level I get the less worth it they become (talking purely 1-50 so far)
But now the question comes. What does paid MMOs (Warcraft, eso, ffxiv) benefit that free MMOs (dfo, etc) do notBut now the question comes. What does paid MMOs (Warcraft, eso, ffxiv) benefit that free MMOs (dfo, etc) do not
Yeah I'm trying to decide what to do while waiting for roulettes while I level DRK and the FATEs just aren't fun enough to deal with such low yield
F2P MMOs usually suffer from a P2W shop in some way or another
Gotta get that cash from you somehow
I mean yeah they have to make money. It's niave to expect a purely F2P game.
The only thing in the mogstation I'd genuinely call P2W is having extra retainers, and even then the average person rarely needs more than the default 2
So FFXIV will award my efforts even tho I might spend less time but if I give it my all ?
Obviously it’s a choice of whether you want to deal with being grabbed at daily for money or just pay a monthly rent.
Like I will spend those 26 euros but will it ask me to grind or will it be a normal paced mmo that I can enjoy with a good company
Yeah you play at your own pace.
Oh good
As long as you’re having fun keep playing.
Because I never subscribed to anything other than a newspaper service before lol
If not, unsub.
And most people will understand if you unsub
No one is gonna hold you at gunpoint if you unsub. Hell im about to do that later after I finish 5.55
Oh I see
There's no "race to the finish line" in this game
I thought that you all play non-stop and pay monthly regularly
No
Your account doesn’t get deleted when you unsubscribe so if you want to try it again later your character will be there.
Some people only pay for sub to play the story then unsub
Yup.
Salutes, it is confirmed that patch 5.55 in May 25 has msq
But anyone knows if in 5.55 PostSHB msq end or is it confirmed a Part 3 of msq in 5.56?
And then no more MSQ until EW comes out?
I just beat all ShB and SB raids and am looking to get into harder content. Is the next step savage content?
Extremes then savage
And if so, which raids should I practice first?
extremes would be more appropriate first
Do diamond weapon
Since it's current
Maybe have a ball with Hades Ex cause its for mooglr tomez as well
I already did like 2 extreme, so that should be easy enough
So diamond weapon then extreme and maybe hades, then go for savage content
Gotcha
Should I create parties myself with party finder?
Yeah
Or find learning parties
Gotcha
I'm ilvl 511 right now, working on getting tomes to improve my exarchic gear more
Would that be enough to do these raids?
Yeah
Yes
just please meld your gear
510 gets you into everything
Meld means placing materia in them?
Estelle suggested SoS ex because despite being slightly outdated, for an extreme it's surprisingly mechanically challenging
Yes
Negotiate that and savage will nkt surprise you
fix that
At least 6s
I mean, I'd use better materia if I had them
Aside from higher damage, ex and Savage requires you to have more awareness, fast respond times, and you'd need to keep track of different information
SOS ex, per recommendation, is very close to savage in the context of what you need to track
Yes
Alright, I'll start with that. I can probably just go for duty finder for the tiers below, I think I did only ruby
how do you see how many company seals you have?
ah ty
Is there a reason theres like 6 people standing outside this plot of land just seemingly waiting to buy it?
Because the invisible timer prevents people buying it immediately
ohhh. Well fuck, how long is the invisible timer? on average lol.
Anywhere from a few minutes to "I gave up waiting"
lmao.
well shit i want this fuckin land. its impossible to get anything on my server
Augmented HQ exarchic gear is better than regular cryptlurker right?
Its equal
Gotcha
i dont know, but judging by the name it sounds cooler than the other one so maybe!
Same ilvl
Cryptlurker is better if improved with these savage raid rewards then
If I understood correctly
yes, aug cryptlurker would be 10 ilvls higher
Cryptlurker can go to 530
Gotcha

When you store an item to the storeroom and demolish the room do you still have it ?
Is there a way to view the rooms of an apartment before buying? Or do I need to watch a video showing it off
I think you need to empty the storeroom before you can demolish it
Apartments rooms are basically all the same
if not, then you go to one of the NPCs in the housing district to reclaim the furniture
Ive never seen the inside of one, so I wasnt sure if i could actually go into one and look before buying
you can enter other people's apartment rooms
but basically the only thing that really changes is the support pillars on the walls and the door
i see now. damn these places are small af
So I know you gotta be level 50 to buy a house, what was the rank you gotta be with your GC? I cant remember
2nd Lieutenant
Anyone know what track plays in PotD floor 101?
floors past 100 use random tracks chosen from a playlist used for POTD
same thing for floors 4-96
I see thanks I'll try to record a clip with it on if I get it again
try looking through this playlist
is it possible to see my party in party finder?
Yes
If they’re still looking for members
If I release retainer — what happens to items inside his inventory
damn, its gonna take forever to become a 2nd lieutenant to buy a house );
Also, i got a question cause im kinda confused. So I did the duty roulette for leveling, which gives xp, kills, but it gives 2100 seals, plus a bonus for it being my first one of the day. After completing, I only have 1900 seals still. So.. Where did the ones I was supposed to get go? lol
You literally have to make it to 2nd sergeant. After that bombard NPC with gear to get your 2nd Lieutenant in an hour
look out for the role bonus, most of the times healer/tank get that one , it says (healer) for example
the 2100 seals were probably the adventurer in need bonus you only would get these if you que'ed up as the job in need
aw fuck you're right, i didnt even see that lol.
in twin adder, how do you get from 2nd liutenant to first? The guy just says that I'm at max rank?

can you use item icons for Macros?
Playing around with HUD layouts - whats the "notices" bit for or is it defunct? Is there a guide that will explain every element? I've struggled to find one if so
think that is the box that shows up when there is loot from dungeons
Oooh ok I can move that somewhere more useful, that makes sense thank you!
Yes but only while you have the item in your inventory
Does anyone know if there's a comprehensive resource which lists what music plays for mounts? I've been looking for a bit and I can't find one.
like, I'm looking for a list that just says each music for each mount pretty much
so, after completing the quest Let the Hunt Begin for each GC, have I unlocked hunts now? Will I start earning nuts when hunting s tier marks?
Well yes but actually no
There's hunt unlocks for each expansion
You only get nuts from shadowbringers hunts
Arr hunt currency became blu mage currency, hw and sb share hunt currency and ShB has its own hunt currency
best stat allocation for monk bozja relic?
whats the best data center for eu

#kupo-bot-spam
Do all fate's give the same amount of seals? even low level ones? It all seems to be like 150
First time playing through the game and loving it at the moment. Is it fine to just use the "Equip Recommend Gear" up til a certain point? Am only lvl 13 at the moment so don't think it matters that much..
Yeah, theres no real downside to it atm.
Yes
Awesome, that's great to hear, thanks!
Is there any point i should stop doing that, or is only end-game related?
pretty much end game related and thats mainly min-maxing stats
I can't find engineering manual in Grand Company vendor, was it removed from the game?
Nah it's there, you might not be high enough rank to get access to it though?
2nd Lieutenant
That should be right
Quartermaster — Materiel?
It's in the materiels section in the higher ranked parts
How come on the companion menu it says 60:00 minutes but it only goes up to 30:00? Do we have to unlock the 60 minute one?
if you use the veg twice it goes up to 60
Oh! Thank you
FYI same thing can be done with food
found it, it's from sergeant assortment
Is there a way to quickly target a specific mob amongst 5? manually clicking feels to slow
you can click on the enemy list
And for 30 crafter scrips (once you start getting those), you can buy a engineering manual that works until lvl 70
Well, sometimes it loses aggro on me completely it’s not on the list >.>
it’s living liquid and liquid hand in tea if that makes a difference
tab doesnt work cause those dolls
how do i make it so i can attack who my target is attacking as a healer

its annoying to switch off just to attack
No way around switching targets I'm afraid
you can aim your camera so only the mob you want shows, then tab target it
But you can set the tank or the boss or whatever as a focus target
Which makes for easy switching back and forth
anyone down to play with me on ps4 ? and help me out a bit ?🥺
or use second wind, that should generate aggro and everyone would show up on the enemy list... but perhaps you won't know which is which for dolls
Can be exchanged for lost actions in Bozja
Lost whats it?
Duty actions for bojza
special skills only usable inside Bozja
Or essences
(or DR)
They're what make or break bojza and allow you to double your dps
hey guys im kinda new to endgame, i bought all the 510 gear, i unlock all the raids (except the latest alliance one). What should I start doing? Learn Umbra (Savage), grind revelations?
Get used to extremes by doing diamond ex for the weapon then do savage
Extremes are a small taste
Of highrr end content
anyone has some macros for scholar
not a SCH player but would not use Macros for a healer
only macro I would recommend is for sacred soil placement
Only would use a soil macro
ground targets can be iffy
But even then if you're quick you dont need it
alr
but macros in general are a bad idea because they don't queue
so they make you effectively slower
Preference
heavily dependent on personal preference
i forgot how i used to play it
Remove them all, read each skill 1 by 1 and reassign them
how do i remove them again
Drag them off
I tried sch once, i sucked all the ass
how do i get my chocobo whistle on hotkey bar?
i used the consumable but nothing appeared?
character -> mount guide
Mount guids
set to hotbar
all your mounts are there
can drag them to the hotbar then
the consumables just add them to the mount guide
if you're using a ps4 its triangle then set to hotbar
so i'm currently doing a challenge where i can only use gear/items that are crafted/gathered by myself, but I've hit a roadblock. to make level 5 gear to proceed in MSQ i need moko grass to get yarn. to get moko grass, i need a secondary tool for botanist, which i am unable to make because i need to get further in MSQ to get to limsa. i have 2 ways of making an exception for this. do i buy currently unobtainable materials from shops until i am able to get to limsa? or do i allow myself to use the first secondary tool given to me by the gathering class quests?
I don’t think there’s a way to do that
I mean you already got the primary tool from the guild, why not get the secondary
If youre planning on doing a challenge like that
At least start it when you can freely travel to the 3 cities
hey i need help with the install
i reset my windows
and now im reinstalling
and its asking me for a registration code
but i was on the free trial
so i cant get back in 
wait nevermind it worked for some reason
this time
leaving it blank
ah wait idk whats goin on anymore
i need help again
im so confused
i had a free trial account
and now its saying i have a service account
and im not eligible
do you have to re-do all quests (msq, blue +'s, etc) on alts?
did you download the free trial client?
how do i get that
i just downloaded the client
i copied over what i had on my pc to a hard drive before i reset
!faq freetrial
try downloading that
does anyone know the song that plays in the Eden entrance/lobby area?
i've heard it elsewhere, but can't find the song
So does anyone know something about airships or anything in corethas?
I was smacking the dummy when I got one of those yellow text with black outline that said something like "freya winterborn has finished readying the storm caller"
And than again brut twas "the tempest" instead
Someone I know also said he flew in corethas and saw an unrecognizable aircraft too, is that related?
I...assume they mean in the sea of clouds in which there is actually a "strange aircraft" you can see but that's just ||Void ark from the 24-man raid||
Also entirely unrelated to the FC airship stuff
Guys, how do i make my 3rd and other hotbars visible?
Right click them in HUD layout
When they're blue they're hidden
Is there a place where markers macros are listed?
For content like extreme trials
Huh, i just discovered anoher way, which includes the hud layout too: on the "current UI element" select the hotbar you want, then click on the cog night next to it and check the unchecked box.
There's no macro markers, cause you can only save 5 sets of waymarks
I did see people using one for castrum marinum
Those are mechanic macros
How do i bring out a third skillbar?
Doesn't it drop waymarks?
You cant macro waymarks
Right click HUD3 in HUD layout
Ah got it thanks
How did the guy make 8 appear at once then?
You cn save up to 5 sets of waymarks
guys i am having boot error i tried all possible fix and deleted the game and try reinstalling it its not even letting me reinstall the game what should i do
That are already set
Click the arrow in the waymark menu
To see your save slots
Once they're placed you can save them in any of the 5 slots given
Oh, never saw that
It was added like 5.2 or something, this expansion anyway
So, how do I prepare waymarks for castrum marinum?
Do I hop there explorer mode and place them?
Once its saved you just press the save slot
Then save?
If no one has its saved you need to kill it first
To put markers on the second platform
Damn
I guess I can still do it for the first phase
Actually I don't know what markers are used in 2nd phase
It's for X and + right?

is it worth buying stormblood skip
idk depends on you
My honest answer is no since main story is good
do bear in mind it doesn't boost your level too
That's only half the expansion
i guess il keep doing it
also spending that much money to skip half an expansion which is pretty important is just ridiculous
it can be a bit... bad in pacing
looking at you ruby sea
but once lord Hein entered the picture i enjoyed it a lot more
could someone help me with why the quest It's a Wonder-full World isn't showing for me?
I have bloodsworn with all 3 tribes
Hi, I'm level 50 and dont have the item level to get into Castrum Meridianum to continue the MSQ. Is there a 'fastest' way to up my ilevel?
oh nice, think ive done all but this most recent one!
You're absolutely sure?
Oh wait hang on
You're looking at the wrong part of the allied beast tribe quests
This is the start
I'm probably in the wrong area again aren't I 
what's the needed bozja rank to be up to date with the relic weapons?
YEAH I AM LMAO
thank you

thank gooood
rip my emotes no work 😔
Level 24 with archer, seems ok, but now interested in whm. Do you suggest getting through realm reborn with archer/bard or just go ahead and try out whm?
if you're interested in WHM, check it out,
you won't have much issue getting to the required level for the main story, you'll get more than enough xp
Is something happening with the Lich server?
what's going on?
yeah wtf
Is it just the Lich server?
this what I was talking about btw
can you take materia out of the gear
yes, with crafters
best way to Timeworn Artifacts ?
i don't know about other servers

I've been sick and haven't been on in a bit
oops
hello I'm completely new to final fantasy and have played a minimal amount of wow
if I wanted to play a melee dps character, what would be my options?
!faq newplayertips
Dragoon, Monk, Ninja, Samurai
sry to be a bother, but which one's would be the best for beginners?
Where was this when I first started T^T
If you're talking about starting out the game, the only ones you can 100% start as are Dragoon (Lancer) and Monk (Pugilist).
I'm torn between the monk class, starting out as pugilist or going for rogue/ninja
this is all very exciting lol
you can play both
You need to reach level 10, complete your level 10 class quest, and reach Limsa Lominsa to be a Ninja (Rogue).
are ninja's like in most games, a difficult class? I'm not that mechanically skilled.
eh
Sounds like monk might be better.
I would recommend starting as Pugilist, then if you don't like it by the time the story brings you to Limsa, you can try out Rogue.
its kinda fast during its burst
Frankly monk is a lot more complicated imo
and then 123 for 45 secs
alright I assume that's a mechanic

I'll start out as pugilist and I'll see where to go from there

You use those three actions in various combinations to execute ninjutsu.
since you can play all classes on 1 character you can swap between the two
see which one you vibe with
I've heard about that, interesting. Well thank you
But yeah, you can be every class on a single character, so if you don't vibe with one class, you can try out another without losing MSQ progress.
Also I'm confused on the worlds section after selecting the data center
!faq worldpick
You can play on any world on any datacenter within FFXIV. Aside from the languages spoken, the physical location of the servers, and the status of each world, there are no major differences. This also means population on a given server is quite meaningless.
The majority of content is cross-world, with the exception of Free Companies, Linkshells, and restrictions when visiting other worlds.
If you don't mind where you play, choose a world that is Preferred or New for character creation bonuses. Check world status by using !status <world name> or via the Lodestone. For information about the status types, use !faq worldtype.
Notable worlds:
- Balmung & Mateus (Role-playing)
- Tonberry & Kujata (Large amount of Oceanic players)
- Moogle (Large amount of French players)
- Shiva (Large amount of German players)
ANY CENSUSES OR WORLD STEREOTYPES BEYOND THIS IS INACCURATE BIAS AND SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY
most are the same
Yeah, the only notable worlds are the ones listed in that faq.
Otherwise, just pick a world and go with it.
you can retrieve materia on your own, you don't need the melder for this
I'll just go with spiggan then
its just if you don't have a crafter leveled that you need to use the materia melder to put it in
i can not remember what you can and cant do with a crafter
Everything is cross-server within datacenters, so you'll never lack for people to do content with through the duty finder.
is there a reason they give you level 70 / 90 weapon coffers so early in the story knowing damn well you can't use them at the time of obtaining?
its ilvl
Item level
60 goes to 270
The level 70 weapon coffer contains gear unequippable by your current class/job.
is the error i get when trying to open them, am i doing something wrong?
The MSQ will never give you items you cannot use at that point.
because the job you are doesn't have i70 weapon
What job are you currently and what level are you
My guess is that you switched to a lower level job to try and open it?
im assuming you're sam/rdm
53 SAM
both of which do not have appropriate weapons from those coffers
Yep, there's the problem.
ahhhh, okay! thank you (:
especially since as a rdm/sam the starting weapon is higher ilvl anyway
yeah, i was very confused after learning it was a item lvl weapon but the default is already higher
ty for all the help c:
np
how does stats/levels translate to bozjan
expansions in this game are linear, right? so e.g. shadowbringers won't do anything for me if i didn't beat the previous expansions?
i'll unlock viera, hrothgar as races, and GNB/DNC at lvl 60
It’ll allow you to play the shadowbringer jobs
synced up and down to ilvl430
what's DNC?
dancer
so I want to get the level 70 armor atleast
you can be naked
should ideally have something on yes
or any gear
I was roilling in iddlyshire gear
and itll be 430
it doesn't really matter what you have, just have gear on
trying to level RDM<
where can I find a list of all mobs from the SB alliance raids?
yes its fine
who are the meteor survivors?

i think it should be on the ffxiv wiki
anyone or people who've finished 1.0?
for the end-credits mentions they had to do certain things to get on the credits
anyone who was there before the game was deleted after a certain date
aw, I had an account back in 2015, but I didn't play much
iirc it was submitting a form
Perhaps a stupid question, there is no voice acting right?
in a realm reborn is not very commonn
I see.
gets a lot more common in the expansions
alright
I'm searching but can't find there, it isn't neither in consolegames or gamerescape
what do you need them for?
I've read 1 mob in the raid came from Vagrant Story, so I wanna see the list to see if others came from FFT and VS
somehow lost game audio. have audio from the computer, the settings are all on and yet nothing comes out of the game
diffrence between weaver and leatherworker ?
leatherworker uses leather, weaver uses cloth
they craft different stuff
weaver makes cloth related items, leatherworker makes leather related items
aren't the main stuff are outfits
never heardo f that but never played VS
if you're going to do crafting, you should be working on all of them
i still need gil for that
as one, it'll save on gear space, and two you're going to need mats from the other crafting classes
Im on level 74 mining but my lvl 50 skills haven’t unlocked. Any idea what i need to do? I have done all the mining quests
Not really, that’s why gatherers exist
nope, many crafters are interlocked so you'll need them all to craft toher stuff for eachother
FFT and VS are games created by the guy who made the SB alliance raids plot, and he made references to the games he developed in Squaresoft in the past.
ye
Which skills specifically?
wdym
Scour/brazen prospector/meticulous prospector and scrutiny
Gatherers get you mats for free
You dont need to buy the crafting materials, gather them yourself
i guess you put in some elbow grease and que for the raids to find that out?
DoL ?
Yes
those are collectable skills, you unlock those by doing the quest "Inscrutable Tastes" in ishgard
dont know about DoL ;w;
@twilit arch tyvm ill go do that now
yeah, I still wanna do them more times to get glam, so I'll pay attention to mobs names, thanks anyway 😉
sorry i couldn't be more help!
thanks for the help tho
no worries, thanxs
can i disable item detail ?
hi, anyone know of an online Guide to upgrade my Duty Roulette to higher levels, they are currently lvl16 and lvl10
Beat ARR
those are the min lvls required to be able to queue them
That doesn't mean you're going to get lvl 16/10 instances when you queue for them
when u beat the first lvl 50 MSQ u unlock a bunch of them
that said though you do get more duty roulettes available to you once you've beaten A Realm Reborn and are able to unlock alliance raids/8man trials
ah. I just got lvl48
but the lvl 16 (leveling) roulette sends u to any dungeon and once per day gives a LOT of exp for ur actual lvl even if it's a low level dungeon
ah. I wasn't doing it becuase I thought i would level sync me
It does
It will
If you get a lower level dungeon
anybody have the spreadsheet or whaterver for the poetic cost of HW relics?
But in exchange you get alot of xp for completing it
it does level sync u, but the daily exp bonus is good for ur actual level

thanks kael
Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh

in other words, do it once a day and it helps u level up fast
it's a one-time bonus for that day btw
I've heard this game is rough for beginners, I've noticed after doing the tutorial missions I am too low level to continue with the main scenario quests, does that mean I get the freedom of doing other quests until high enough level?
Or is there a certain order I should respect.
yeah do some yellow quests around until lvl 4
theres a gap between 46-49 as well
whats the preferred world kupo bot command again
"!preferred Datacentre"
ty
do keep in mind that outside of this yellow quests dont normally give a lot of xp, once you get back to MSQ stick to it and class quests
I have a stupid tank question. If I'm MT, but the tank is currently on an OT because I have a tankbuster-mandated vulnerability, do I keep my clock position or swap with OT? Like, technically I'm the MT, but the boss facing the OT could mess up positionals, especially if OT is south.
Also do I voke back the boss as soon as the vuln runs out, or do I just become the OT until the next tankbuster?
isn't every crafting guild has their mats from npc ?
for ltw he sells limited items but not the one like leather
vendors don't sell all mats
Depends but people often swap positions cause you're now the OT and you keep that way until the next swap
generally after 15 or so you either need to go gather it yourself or buy them from the marketboard
You use the skin/hide they sell to make leather
its low level
Exceptions are at 50/60, as some of those more annoying mats are on vendors
is there a vendor for leather
Use the skins to make the leather
You make the leather using various skins and/or hides
i see
They only sell raw mats, you need to make the intermediate nats
those are npcs that sell leather
so I don't voke the boss back?
No
for DoL its better than marketboard ?
So the other tank can use their Invuln
to get mats
Market board is for the lazy way
time or gil, your choice
how many hours would you need to get through the free trial, asking for a friend
for msq, id say 110
Also those smidges of exp do add up
Probably about 100+ for story
thanks
if its time then how much time it need to reach max level for DoL
Depends on how you're leveling: ishgard, leves or just grind
cant do both ?
you can
one option inbetween is to buy in market the raw mats and u craft the intermediate mats yourself, that way u don't spend too much gil as in buying the final product or intermediate mats, and u get extra exp for crafting the intermediate mats. To see all intermediate and raw mats right click (or Square in PS4) and select Recipe Tree
but ishgard is only good up to a point and leves are limited
And ishgard let's you level gathering and crafters together
If you're also leveling crafters, I recommend ishgard so you can fuel crafting with the ishgard mats
wait, how do I level other jobs, if I used main scenario on my main job?
!faq altlvlguide
Via this
oki i have time ill give dol a shot
its seems fun
and if ur not still in ishgard, the fastest way to lvl up crafters is with levequests, and if u turn in in HQ u get double exp
leveling roulette, main scenario roulette, doing the highest available dungeon for ur job, job quests and fates
Firmament
whats the best way to level without doing the msq?
See here
!faq altlvlguide
!daily
sweet
grand company journal is worth doing yeah?
You need to do the company Hunting log to rank up in the grand company
And it is free GC seals
yeah that's why I asked actually
I use to just do FATEs and got enough to rank up
I'll just go back and look up where the mobs are in the wiki
who is that dude in the trailer that is on the moon?
Not sure if this is the place for this question since it's gathering related, but I'm trying to catch a vanuhead and the weather and bait are correct according to the good ol internet, but when I attempt the mooch to get it I just keep getting "nothing bites", am I missing something here?
us
The warrior of light
why are we on the moon
That's just his "canon" appearance"
msq
actually don't tell me lol
because we go to the moon
That's a spoiler
i just realize...butterfinger promotion does not include canada...anyone know if anyone from canada got this?
oh its us player's?
yes.
ah makes sense ty
The player character is in every trailer
I live outside US and used a fake address, I received the first email, but never the 2nd neither a rejection.
Are they still sending them?
I don't know i got the recept but i am thinking using a fake address too
Does it matter much which reward I choose from doing extremely early game quests?
pick the better gear
how do i unlock the dungeons with npcs as teammates
Shadowbringers content
be in shadowbringers
even if it's not worth to equip, u can desynth it to get better desynth level, or turn in to gc to get seals
msq
do the msq?
my story quests are level 60
Then spam dungeons
!faq altlvlguide
Use your lv 60 then
!faq altlvlguide
i wanna play something else
i only have level 60 healers
if you level your grand company squadron, that could work
takes forever tho, i reached captain yesterday after like a month
How is trials loot determined? I just did castrum and I think we all got a totem, also there was a weapon we could roll for
Totems are guaranteed on clear
I thought you could get plating, music and mounts from this one too
Plus random weapon
same as a dungeon, its all RNG
Other loot is rng
I see
Rank 2
it's rank 2
POG
you're sync UP and down in bsf
Only way to do more damage is use lost actions and essences properly
lost actions?
read the tutorials
im a big fan of the +120% damage one for healers
Profane + seraph strike + font of magic is Big healer damage
Is there way to know what's the name of a side quest in the japanese version?
So I know the lvl cap for it is 60
but can you attain that during ARR or do you need to start the expansion to reach lvl 60. I feel like I'm leveling up too fast trough the msq. I hardly do any sidequests anymore currently out of fear of being too overleveled
can just look it up on lodestone and then switch lodestone to the JP version
yes, you will overlevel the MSQ
that's why theres alt classes
You can easily hit 60 before heavensward
Especially if you keep doing daily roulettes
great thanks 😄
where are glamour prisms obtained from?
Grand company seals
that's not a thing
does anyone bar casters use edenmorn gloves? can't think
Each crafter needs mats from multiple different crafter and gatherer
crafting opens up after 3.3 msq so you can wait until then to level them
Hi My bf and I are playing the trial version. I wanted to buy him the fatter cat mount but not sure if we can apply the code to the trial version ? Anyone know ?! Thank you
Trials can’t buy things
You don't own the free trial = cannot buy mogstation items
Ahh thank you
Cuz I couldn’t find an portion to put in my code on my mog station
But that explained why
Thank you
you can actually buy mogstation items as free trial
iirc the main things that are limited are the job/main scenario skips
but i don't believe you can gift items from mogstation as trial
Does anyone have any Black Mage outfit ideas (female and a Miqo'te)
use eorzeacollection
Becuse I have a code for the mount but don’t have. Aplace to redeem it ?
They keep saying go to your account 😢

Can't redeem codes
There's supposed to be a button that says "enter item code" but you're on trial
If you bought it for yourself it'd work
it sounds like you'll have to also buy them the starter edition at the very least and then have them paste the code in
roughly how many hrs will it take for me to finish ARR from msq lvl20?
Ah okay thank you guys for helping 🥲
about 60
can you put your lost actions on your bar somehow?
ok time to skip, that's ridiculous
I've googled this cause I'm new and I've heard anywhere from 50-200 hours depending on how dedicated you are lol
Action and traits > general > duty action 1 and 2
60hrs ain't really ridiculous
thx
would not recommend
ff14's story is its biggest selling oint
you realize this game is the length of 4 full final fantasy games
you'd aslo have to buy a lvl skip
If you buy a level skip you are skipping all the way to Shadowbringers
total msq needed for current endgame content is like 150+ hours
i'm fine grinding.. my character is already way overleveled due to preferred server
isn't the main questline part of the experience?
Yes
if youre going to skip then you might as well skip all the way to shb
It is
I just started the game and I'd never skip it
yes msq is 75% of the game
how is it not worth it? 15usd or whatever to save 60hrs?
jrpgs are just that long, and ffxiv is 4 of them in one
No
there's many heathens that don't like story in any games, they just like seeing a number climb higher and that's it
because then you wont understand any of the rest of the story
at all
so you ruin the story
15 usd plus 20 usd plus the HW story suffers without ARR
This is a final fantasy game first. MMO second
so you'd be shooting yourslef in the foot
i'll watch/read the story
You can just ignore the less important plot things in ARR at least. If you want
sure you will
youll still have to watch/read 20+ hours worth of videos
why not just play the game then ..?
we promise the rest of the game isn’t as boring as lvl 20 msq
Plus you still have the rest of the story to get through
eww... i read books when i want to story 😒
Why are you even playing if you don't wanna play the story but still wanna read it later....?
then this game ain't for you
this is what you signed up for
and thats ok
ok stop this shit right fucking now
I thought mmo's are all about quests and story
yeah exactly! that's why i want to skip 60hrs of fetch quests ^^
plenty of people play this game and don't give two shits about the story or the quest
who?
gimme names
if you skip ARR you wont understand the rest of the story fyi
you guys don't need to shit on new players who come in asking about story skips
i have high hopes for the story, but seriously... so far i don't feel like the game is respecting my time at all
Just give the information without shoving opinions down their throat
theres a reason for that, its ok for people to not like story
you can say you don't think its a good idea but give them the information
If they wanna skip it’s their decision
its just every single person doesn;t like ff14 as much without it
that's why i lobby so hard
Some people skip for the raiding. Alot actually
but this happens way too often and gets dragged out too fucking much
i'm telling you now that ARR sets up literally everything else that happens and if you skip it you wont understand why suddenly half the characters are missing
