What sad aspect ? If you paid the game, you don't have access to free 1-60 anymore. I didn't even finish all quests of 1st exp (when you have to fight again some monsters), and i would love to test the game again as a free trial
or can you keep playing until you hit level 60
its forever
Free trial lasts forever
Gw2 does it better : free trial, and if you paid the game, you have bonus
I’ve been on it since last August
You can play forever, but you can only level things up to 60 and do up to the end of HW content. 😄
wait, the free trial is forever?
They should change this for me... You should have access to 1st exp, even if you have the last expansion
it said 30 days?
the free trial has no time limit
It's forever.
eh i wasnt big on GW2 trail
You get a free 30 days from buying the game
can u join guilds as a trial account?
no
No
No
nope.
well dang I didn't have to spend the 20 bucks on the trial like I thought I did
lmao
potd if you can go to 200
oh well I'm loving the game so I was gonna buy it anyway
Hey on the bright side no limitations for you
true
does my account drop down to a trial account if I don't pay the sub, or am I just locked out
Locked out
you're locked out
fuck
wait so what is the exact process, lets say I hit level 60
I have to buy the game?
how much is that
If yoy want to continue getting xp and continue story after heavensward
You dont have the buy the game until you beat heavensward and want to continue the story
Well, i bough Gw2 and when i returned when 1st exp was free : they gave me some bonus.
Last year, free trial was till lvl 30 something like that i think. Some i bough last expansions, but didn't even enter Heavensword...
And now, i want to give a second try to the game, but because i paid, i don't have access to it
if you hit 60 you just cant get anymore xp
do wolf mark items change?
thats all, you can play another class
Each job can get to lvl 60 but it won’t force you to buy the game if you max out every thing available
@scarlet hinge no
wait so lets say I finish the story, what happens then
But you can get all Jobs and also Crafters/gatherers to 60 and that's quite a bit of time right there
I should have access to 1st expansions but without restrictions in my opinion. Why a new player who gave them nothing can test all jobs till 60 and not me
then you need to buy the starter and shadowbringers
Because there's a difference between a free TRIAL and free to play
Trial is a test of the game
@leaden ginkgo You don't technically have to buy anything. You'll just be stopped from progressing until you purchase the game and a subscription.
I heard Gunbreaker is the most difficult to play among tanks. How is it compared to every classes I terms of difficulty? Is it still easy compared to DPS classes?
no it isnt
It's just the most active tank
@faint flare
I paid Gw2 when he was B2P, when he created a "free trial", i had access, and bonus
I paid Wow, and when i don't sub, i have access to free trial
That's obvious...
No one here works for SE (that we know of). Complaining about the price to us doesn't accomplish anything.
I think all tanks are very similar, gunbreaker has more buttons but they flow very naturally
Those games are basically classed as free to play and not really advertising the key word of TRIAL
so which would I have to buy?
@leaden ginkgo
Don't buy game atm, except if you want to play a specific class, or you'll be in my position.
When you buy the game, you don't have the free trial anymore
Again. Very very very meaningful difference
@leaden ginkgo you either buy the starter edition + shadowbringers, or buy the complete edition (which is exactly the same thing)
Wow is F2P since when ?
Yeah I agree @pseudo pulsar, I think it's a bit odd that it locks you from your account completely when other games are capable of doing restrictions for free
Free to play to 20
can you start at foot 100 for potd sorry i DC
It's a free trial to 20
No
so you gotta keep grinding back up
Yes
FF14 has no free trial
If you have access to the content forever, it's a F2P game

Only reason to go up to 100 is for 101+ runs
okay nevermind I just straight up don't know what you're saying anymore tbh
i thought the drops for artifacts was better up there
By the time you get to floor 151+ it's guaranteed, iirc
The middle one, the complete edition comes with base game + expansion, there is really no good reason to just get the base game, you can’t activate shb without the base game, so essentially you either need base game + shb or the complete edition which is the same thing just with less tax
I mean you can hold off buyin ShB until you reach it, at the very least
Finish HW*
cause the Steam pack deal doesn't offer any discount to buying both
If i pre order i get the earrings Right now right? been a while so i forgot how that works lol
Yes
Yes you’ll get the earrings
awesome
Once I chose my ears for Viera can I change later or do I need to Fantasia again
you need fantasia
ty
It’s like changing ears (or horns)
what time is the maintenance?
In 4 something hours
in 9 hours from now we can play right
i’m trying to unlock the first ult. to people still run normal SB raids ?
yeah
cause now i low key wanna clear them all
people DF the normals and PF the savage
i only have to do the first 4 to unlock the ult right ?
Clear O4 savage
and for alex it’s e4s ?
Yes
yep!
wait can someone answer me xd
need to know how much to sleep
If it doesn't end early
9 hours at worst? okay
do you think i could pf people to just unsync run the normal SB ones?
yeah
i can’t wait for 90 when we can go back and unsync these alone
what's the point of chocobo porters if they only send you to the main city ><
They take you to nearby areas
You have to interact with the other porters
oh on the same map?
so it's instead of autorunning XP
or are they faster than a normal chocobo mount

If you have your own mount, there’s no real reason to use porters anymore. Unless you’re in early HW
If i've somehow discarded all of my loot/gear for a class where is a good place to obtain it to get back into the job?
Thank you
poetics is the one that is right next to the crystal in limsa?
yeah rowenas shop
Rowena representative, buy augmented ironworks
So im new new to ff and im curious if your grand company goes up by just playing or is there grand company specific quests that need to be done to level it.
GC is separate from MSQ
What resistance rank do you need to unlock DR?
10
10
Nice so no more rank grinding then
Anyone have any really good advice/guides/videos or somehtong bout how to make Gil in this game....I hear most people saying they have millions but I'm like...I have 100K 😦
msq until endgame gives you a good chunk
most gil making stuff is at lvl 80
@faint flare Thank you!!!!!
the tsukuyomi and shinryu ex drops (phasmascape, shinryu scale) sell for 500k to million
there is no one, universal good way to make gil
it varies from server to server
Best advice? do maps
does anyone have a guide they can link about combat for an arcanist? im like brand new
how many Hauting memories and Vexatious ones do I need for the shb step?
Or this for text
18 each
cool ty
Do i need to equip the relic or just fates?
Can you change hair color and face paint whenever u want?
yeah
where
any rogues here? I have an attack that is stronger when I attack the target from the back, if I go behind during the animation (after key press) will it still increase the damage? or i should key press when im behind the target
Button press
aight thanks 😄
understood
Is the praetorium long?
Yes cause of cutscenes
almost 45minutes
!status Balmung
wait until late night/early morning and then try
Ok thanks
quick question: currently farming the diadem and basically going around lookin for bushes as a BTN. Is there no way to filter the searches to only locate bush nodes using Arbor Call?
Where might i aquire accessory gear at level 50?
you can't, sorry
ironworks gear can be bought with tomestones of poetics in mor dhona
it's item level 130 and it will carry you til around 55-56
what's a good way to aquire tomestones?
lol no worries. Thnx !
!faq poetics
you mostly get poetics for running level 50 content, as well as duty roulettes
at your level, anyway
in the video it says go to idyllshire and speak to a woman there but i can't find idyllshire in dravanian hinterlands as the wiki says?
just kidding
found it
how does party finder work with deep dungeon?
like do I need to erase an existing file
oh ok. How about if I queue with just 1 person?
An open save slot with fixed party
and future runs on that file can only be done with that person I queued with originally?
Yes
what about the other 2 spots, are they filled randomly?
Nope
if it's fixed, no
so I need to track down those other 2 people to use that file again?
fixed queue is you just go in with as many people in your party
If you're a fixed party you go in as just 2 people
Ohhhhh
if it's just you and another, just you and the other go in
so it won't even matchmake. Damn
Queing is the Matched option
i know there's a matchmaking option if I want 3 other randos. But if I want to go in with 1 friend and 2 randos, I can't do that?
you can, using the matched option
Oh I see.
Uh. Is the game drunk? I own the Law's Order rapier, but replica vendor doesn't have talekeeper recollection?
need to augment the law's order to get that
So my dragoon is lvl 51, how or where can i unlock the machinist? and can i make a new char for it? Or would i have to lvl 1 char to lvl 50 to do it?
you need to be able to go to ishgard, aka be in heavensward
ew. ok.
i am there i think am doing the sense of Urgency quest right now
So I bought the collectors edition on steam, but when I try to enter in the collectors edition code, it says it's invalid, can I not enter it in until endwalker releases?
I entered in the other code I got and that worked.
then it should just be in Foundation in Ishgard, at the skysteel manufactory
if I have the complete edition of the game up to ShB, and want to pre-order Endwalker, what do I purchase
Endwalker
cause I saw the pre order from store included previous DLC as well
That's for people who don't own them
i cant find a pack that only have Endwalker
Since you already own them then that bit doesn't apply to you
You'll only get endwalker
They always bundle old expansions into the new one
So just get endwalker
Just as stormblood was replaced by shadowbringers Endwalker will replace shadowbringers in shop listing once it launches
Yed
I see, thanks!

Hey there, so i decided to return to ffxiv and go through new game + for the story, and picking up a new class alongside it, howeverr due to NG+ not giving xp, is there an optimal route one can take to keep a class up to date with the quest levels?
!faq altlvlguide
is this for new people?
Collectors edition includes a mount a minion and something else I think, I can't fully remember
Reaper weapon
yes! ask any questions you have here.
That was it
yeah i notice that
Thanks!
im still considering which one to purchase, when will this pre order end?
If you know ff4: the other twin is the preorder bonus
And if you really want the collectors edition stuff you can upgrade at any time
So I started a conjurer, do I have to level up in any order or do missions in any order or can I just do missions without messing up my character
You'll be underlevelled as ng+ main story quests don't give any exp
I don't mind grinding to get the levels
Keep on top of your class quests, job hunting log an run the highest level available dungeon when/if you hit a level wall
i wonder if endwalker enlisted in Upgrade Collection list in Mog Station, will the "Complete Upgrade" raise its price from 80$ to 100$
thanks, so class quests most important right?
The story will give you enough experience to keep going
basically to level your first job you just do msq, job quests when they pop up
Yes
yes
thank you all 🙂
They're ng+ing
job quests are a higher priority than msq, they give you skills
My b
hello, how many hours until the patch is live?
wtf I just got suspended from the ff14 forums for a post I made.
!maint
3 hours I think
That shows when it goes down
The lodestone post says when it's up
!maintenance
At maximum
3 hours until maintenance, and then maintenance is ~12hrs?
That doesn't work bere
Is there a way to turn off mount music specifically?
usually ends an hour or so early on non raid patches yeah
yes
in sound settings, disable music while mounted
1 hour iirc and 8 hours duration at most
@random girderTHANK YOU lol
chocobo music pissing you off? lol
Unless it's St and and My friend gave me gmt times w/e
Nah ive just heard it so many times and i want to hear the music in the new zone im in
Is there a way to customize synthesis chat message without turning it off entirely?
You might want to turn it back on once you get more variety in your mounts but hey now you know where the option is
^ hw mounts and onward have their own generic track that is nice for the first few times but also gets annoying lol
but ex mounts and a lot of other special ones have unique music
so when you get a new mount try it and be disappointed because its always borderless
So about how far in do you need to play to get your first 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.
Top half

Currently enjoying amaro, emerald and dark gwiber music on my roulette 
still working toward getting amaro myself, but i enjoy being able to flex getting gwiber on my first sos ex clear 
which roulettes do y'all still do regularly if you aren't leveling?
fck u gib
Expert and that's it
why is that
you get tomes for gear
Because fuck being synced
Normal and trial for fun, expert if I feel like it and mentor every now and then
And I want my tomes
The msq got a lot more interesting in ARR in the 30's
Mentor often ends up being 6 sprouts in an arr extreme that don't listen
6 sprouts? does the roulette automatically find two mentors for mentor roulette?
No
I pulled the number out of my ass
to increase the chances of people explaining stuff?
is subscription $15 a month right ?
!faq subprice
!faq subprice
Gottem
Lol
thank you
"i am speed"
my ISP just nuked my connection a few hours ago in the middle of a raid.....will I get penalized for that?
it's hard to find stuff on squares site lol
you might get kicked byyour party members
but it was hours ago xD
is there an unstated penalty forr getting kicked? like lower prriority for future duties
No
Good to know, my internet likes to cut out randomly
sad its the first raid I leave xD
should get that fixed. really annoying for other players in a 4man dungeon
Hasn't happened in a dungeon yet. And trust me, I want to get it fixed, lol
so with displacement does it update player position in real time or does position stay where you were until you land
Real time
Reason: Refrain from using slurs please
All movement skills rapidly move you along the ground
ah so its just lag that I keep getting hit by aoes
Or you're being snapshotted as you move out
hii is this game recommended for someone playing w/o friends
Anybody trying to get rathalos plus scales farm ??
Yes. It's primarily solo
I play it like a single player game xD
It's a final fantasy game first
nice do u guys actually read the quest stories or is it more like only the subscription stories are interesting/worth getting into?
Everything is the story
i played WoW until lvl 80/90 and i ignored most of the low level stories they werent really as spicy
Expansions build on the story
I read the main history and the class quest everything else isnt worth reading xD
You do not want to skip the dialogue in this game trust me. Its all connected and makes the great stuff, even better
Arr does the necessary world building
ok, thanks for your inputs i really appreciate it!! 😄
yeah just enjoy the ride there isnt really a competitive thing unless you go pvp
Does anyone know what the hud ui element is for item info ? Like armor or weapons etc
does anyone know when a good time would be to add materia to my armor? i’m currently lvl 61, playing through heavensward.
Is there some gear progression during leveling ? Or you stay with the same armor during lots of levels ?
I don't think it matters at all until level 80. I didn't put materia into anything when i played
Im lvl 65 and still dk how the materia thing work xD
Story gives you plenty of gear
You need to be a crafter to meld your own materia
alright, cool thanks. is there a reason why u waited until 80? does it have to do with like raids or something?
around level 20 in any craft job unlocks the quest to start extracting materia I think
Ok thanks, as a casual i like to see the evolution of my character even if i can't do endgame content
Materia literally does nothing until 80
Cause being synced turns it off
Which, happens alot while levelling
And you change gear too much
I only put materia on my crafting gear so far
Where can I exchange yellow scrips for blue scrip tokens? All NPCs, who seem to exchange that, refuse to talk to me
Job quests at the level cap of an expansion usually give a full set of job exclusive gear you can use as a glamour
ohhh okay, that makes sense! thanks ^^
And starting gear for thst level cap before getting the tome gear
I tested one year ago, and remember that they gave me an Op set when i finished part of my story
Was cool, but all items in dungeons were useless cause of this
The i90 gear isn't that strong, it's entry level gear
Idyllshire, however most of the things you'd do that for you can get directly with yellows in Ishgard.
also, what does hardcore raiding mean?
Ok, it's cool then. When you keep to much the same items during leveling, it feels weird x)
where? in Firmament? I just tried, no exchange window pops up
Doing savage and ultimates
No idyllshire in dravania
Try the sundry splendors vendor by the aetheryte in Foundation first, to see if what you want is there.
The only exception I think is for the umbrite step in a relic
that's what I'm doing rn
For umbrite I need blue tokens, and I can't get them anywhere
Then in that case, you can do that at literally any scrip exchange npc in the three major cities, mor dhona, Rhalgr's, Idyllshire, Eulmore, Crystarium or even, for some reason, The Ruby Sea.
found it, thanks
guys, I just hit lvl 50 today and I spent the entire day doing blue quests, and I'm getting really confused, should I just ignore them for now and keep playing the MSQ?
Msq is top priority
Alot of blues are just side dungeons
Though crystal tower and hard mode primals are required
I'll keep playing MSQ then, ty for the help :)
is there any other way to obtain a fantasia other than paying for it?
There's technically a 'free one' if you get HW collectors edition, but that's not also 'free'
I see. Thanks for the response.
Is there a way to progress the dungeon main quest missions alone? My duty finder isn't picking up anyone
You're not strong enough to solo them at level
Even worse, I'm seeing other people enter the dungeon while I've been waiting for 10+ minutes
Tank and heals get much quicker ques
I might need to pick up a healer class then
It pops eventually so
And is it still possible to do the 1st raids ? Or players are not interested in them anymore ? If i remember correctly, some parts of the scenario take place in raids
I started with archanist, didn't know it was a dps when I chose it
What do you mean by unsynced ?
They're the equivalent of our current high end raids, which have mechanics which random can't do
It can become a healer at 30
Turning off instance Syncing
And letting you enter ad you are
Current level and gear
I remember that i did a raid and killed the boss of the cinematic
So lv80s can face roll
Lmao, I'm 20k xp away from 30
You will have to have done the lvl 20 quest sylph management before you can do so
I don't remember his name, the guy in red, the 1st main boss of FF14
Nero
20k is pennies
Ifrit?
!faq sylph management
Or ifirit
!faq job
To unlock your class' job you need to be level 30, complete all of your class quests and the main scenario quest 'Sylph Management' (lvl 20 quest) to be able to pick up your job unlock quest. Once you've done the initial unlock quest, you will be given a soul crystal which you must equip to become your class' job.
So I need to clear this dungeon to unlock it anyway
No, the main boss, who enters in a Robot, and then we destroy the robot. The emperor
Sylph management is just a quest
Gaius
That's gaius
And he's mostly black and gray
I entered his raid and killed him. And i was low level, but a waited a lot of time
not the emperor btw just a high ranking dude
There's no accessible raids in arr
The raid series was all at what's now known as savage difficulty
So it wasn't very accessible to casual players
Starting in heavensward raids come with a normal version for story and a savage version for a more hardcore challenge
I have 2 minions, which can't be sold or discarded. How do I get rid one of them?
Use them
both?
And if you can't use
Right click and discard
Use them to add them to your collection
as I said, it doesn't let me discard
Does anyone know what the hud ui element is for item info ? Like armor or weapons etc
Then just use them
also how am I suppose to add to collection another copy of it?
It's not normally possible to get two copies, what is the minion?
If they're already in your collection and undiscardable then it's impossible to get a second one
You either haven't added them or you're not discarding them properly
it's Puff of Darkness. I rolled one today, completely forgetting that I already have one in retainer's possession
You should still be able to discard it afaik
well, I can't
maybe 2 weeks ago
That would have made it impossible to roll 2
Weird, maybe open a support ticket
You'd have to get it and put it in the retainer in the first place is all
Yeah, in any case, you would need Support to delete the item if you can't use it or delete it
can I open a ticket in game or?
There's a help desk in the menus somewhere that gives you a template
System > support desk
the "Report a Bug" in the support menu won't help, that specifically says that they do not give individual responses to those reports
it would probably be best to create the support ticket through their website
And what next?
Report a Bug
Best option of what's there
usually reporting a bug and creating a ticket are different things, and reporting a bug doesn't support the answer back to you
usually at least
can someone show me their hotbar for btn so i have an idea on how to make mine?
i honestly never changed my hotbar for gatherers
just left everything as default

Hey everyone, I just started playing the game, I'm 55 paly on satagatanas. I was looking for a social FC to join. But everyone one in recruiting seems to be going after endgame. Any tips or tricks to find a good FC?
So I rolled my first character on a preferred server and I am now a level 52 summoner and am now setting up to head to garuda. Since I haven't come close to finishing ARR content, and the xp is diminishing since I am past 50, I am wondering when and how I should level my 2nd job and beyond?
up to you when you want to decide that you want to start a 2nd job to soak up exp, but since you're 52 i would probably go ahead and do it now
!faq altlvlguide
covers how to level up alt jobs
the xp from levelling on a preferred server is nuts, I was so far ahead of the quests and I was just doing MSQ and job quests.
you know for day 1 it says find a friend to kill things not in your party... but i’ve been helping my friend while in a party with them so should we not be?
Is there a a way I can transfer my character to another server??
if there's a 10+ level difference between party members, exp gain is nulled
yes, world transfer service on the mogstation. its under additional services. it costs 18$ @potent knot
ok so I'm new to preordering MMOs, and I preordered Endwalker. I only have Starter edition. My question is, do I have to wait to get the other expansions since I didn't buy Shadowbringers seperately, or do I still get a key to play those now.
if you want to play stormblood/shadowbringers now you would need to buy shadowbringers
You will only get the previous expansions from endwalker when it releases, as they are tied to the full game code
pre-order code doesn't give you access to them
You get to play stormblood and shadowbringers in November if you bought Endwalker and nothing else
ok then. gives me time to level every other base class, i guess
I think my above question was overlooked
If I want to join a FC on a different world, do I need to start completely over?
!faq communityfinder
Hello! If I use the command tell, do I whisper a player?
yes, tell is basically whisper
Thanks!
Thanks Fullteach
Do you have to do this for every alt class weapon too?
yes
Welcome to relics
assuming you're lvl 80 all of those are really quick runs
yes
You gotta do everythinggggggggg again
Newer ones really are generous when it comes to alt classes
Yes, at least you can prefarm items after the first one
At least you can just have everything bought/farmed beforehand
Like doing your singing cluster daily/weekly
singing cluster?
the 2nd to last step, iirc
And you get access to a new daily/weekly quest for an additional source of them
Can you skip any of the steps in heavensward/stormblood ones or are they as unforgiving?
i mean, shadowbringers only has one
so its not like its really different from the others
so far
are all healing class equal ?
Yes
like whitemage wont heal better than scholar? or pick over scholar in teamplay?
Every job is balanced
And viable
They're all capable of doing their job
!faq meta
because i remember no one pick scholar before when i play pretty sad for scholar
is dancer a buffing class here?
yeah
It has raid buffs
the buffiest job
Primarily for 1 person
oh i would love play dancer since my ff11 is dancer main
With a 2min party wide damage buff
But you're primarily buffing the damage of your dance partner
So hope they don't suck lol
oh that's fine XD sounds pretty cool, for jump potion do i need the DLC?
i think i have stormblood but i never play beyond ARR
Dancer is a shadowbringer job so you’d need that if you really wanna play it
i need to unlock the quest up to shadowbringer?
How many hours is the mainT for? 7?
oh so i cant jump point dancer right off the bat to 70
i think my highest level is paladin at 52
Dancer starts at 60
But iirc you'll have to do battle against lv60 enemies, so mind your gear while unlocking. (At least gnb had battle.)
well you can level skip a job to 70 then unlock dancer but if you dont have shadowbringers on your account then it wont be avaliable
you can job skip anything that isnt currently released jobs
and crafters/gatherers dont have skips
ok i will prolly job skip ...or rather how long does it take to level 50-70?
I've been playing about 3-4 days, and I'm close to 50 on a couple of my jobs
I'm also on the free trial, so I need to gather most materials myself
maint start after 1.5 hour ?
yep
because i am really casual like maybe 1 day our of 2 weeks ...i hope it wont takes too long buying potion is ok with me
thank you
thats on you so if you really wanna play dancer then do it
The biggest roadblock for leveling craft jobs is getting materials. I'd imagine access to the player market makes that process a lot faster
its not that bad
all my crafting is 55+ at least...i dunno why i like doing DoH more in the past
Are they removing the limit on the last Nier raid for the coin with 5.55?
darn 😦
Question if it’s known- will this invisible timer end before the servers go down?
I didn’t know if it like, went based on when servers could go down
I’ve been going for 20 hours lol
So I unlocked 2 charges of En Avant, will I be able to use both charges on Dungeons below the level of when you unlock 2 charge En Avant?
No
ty
Cause you lose the trait that gives you the charges
I just got TCJ on Nin. Any advice on where to fit it into your trick attack phase after the opener? (Where you aren’t doing two raitons in a row due to the other mudra stack you’re afforded in the opener)
Okay thanks, that answers other things too. wasn't sure if traits were removed
It's used on Cooldown and should line up every other trick with its 2min Cooldown
Should you just use it right after your Kassatsu raiton (s)then?
Oh crap wait I’m dumb
And you can hold suiton for 20s
So just before you get the second charge you can suiton
Then hold as you wait for other Cooldowns
patch notes out yet?
They'll be out when servers dip out
Maybe a few hours in we will get patch notes

Can fish ever desynth as something other than fine sand? lol
seems like all I ever get is fine sand lol

the most noteable things from desynthing fish are a few swimsuit items, those are from specific fish
oh nice
Is it true if I get lvl 80 in any job, other jobs get 2x exp forever?
100% for jobs under 70, 50% over 70
It doesn't have to be 80
It's the armoury bonus
It applies to any job lower level than your highest level
If you have a level 30 paladin then you get the xp bonus while leveling up...say archer levels 1-30
Can you have apostrophes in your name?
yes
awesome ty
look up naming conventions for races for bonus immersion 
Do we know the time it has been from 2.0 to present? I recall there possibly being something said in a patch quest but not sure, a year perhaps?
The year never advances
we do not
all we know is its been under a year
So only assumptionsm never actually told
They purposely leave it up to player choice
Well it'll NEVER go past a year
it's not an assumption when we say the year hasn't advanced
We're in a time bubble
IIRC during ShB they say it's been some months since beginning, but I could be wrong
devs have out right stated it
i mean, its been at least (minor baby tiny stormblood spoiler) ||4 months because of the boat ride||
can paglthan be cleared in 20mins?
Is this also where we ask questions about house/apartment decoration stuff?
finally got lvl 50 and got SAM Job... i did not know SAM job started at 50???? now gonna have to learn all of these actions
Yes expansion jobs start higher
is doing art coms for gil count as RMT? asking for a friend lol
maaan i dont want server to go down lol 😦
a lot of people said it's fine, since no money is inolved
@mystic tapirDo you have to finish msq for that?
i wouldn't discuss it in game
then its not like there's much SE can or will do in that regards
Just don't discuss it in game, and give gil in game only
not a fan of getting in trouble
hey, no, IDK. as soon as I hit 50 the starting quest was available
You dont
sam doesnt require msq
Once you meet those, head to Ul'dah. In the Steps of Nald, near the main Aetheryte, you will have a new quest. Speak with the Ul'dahn Citizen and he will tell you to go somewhere else.
Head to the Gladiator's Guild in Ul'dah. Once there, go into the back room to find an old man on the floor. Speak with him and after a lengthy conversation he will make you a samurai!
Only heavensward jobs need story progress

hey so I did castrum before I handed in the 6 bitter memories, do I need to redo it to continue the quest line?
I'm not finding where to go
This is all I got
You need to finish delerum
oh wow that's so weird 
To get the next steps
I figured that might be the case...but it felt so backwards
It's almost like you need to progress the story or something
"do the thing we're going to have you do later so you can do the earlier thing you already did"
Yeah I wasn't aware that the further progression of the weapon that I am aware requires you to run Delerum would require you to run it 2 steps before. Makes sense of course but I wanted to make sure I wasn't wasting my time.
Doesn't really do much to be rude about a goal in a video game I'm confused about that is inherently arbitrary...thank you for answering my question regardless.
when maint start ?
now
shhhesh
Is there a cap on desynthesis skill?
i dont have anything to play ;/
me neither lol
520 iirc @leaden ginkgo
I just got FF14 today and I can't wait to play it tomorrow once it's back up. Very excited c:
Hope you have lots of fun, I did and still do :)
hey what does GCD stand for?
global cool down
global cooldown
its the cool down majority of your skills share
ahh ty
Thank you hehe
on that note, oGCD is off global cool down
meaning they're the remaining skills that dont go on cooldown when other skills are used
have fun in advance :w: its really fun no cap
see you tmr people have a wonderful day
have fun!
is it normal for it to show "unable to complete version check" during maint?
nvm
client started
Is maintnance up?
up as in started, yes
are the patch notes out?
so sad i logged in and saw a msg that asked me to log out 😦 7 hour maint
i was so focused in trying to clear savage content that i forgot to do msq
no, patch notes won't be for a bit
why does they have to do maintenance on nights where i can actually stay up late and play? does SE do this just to make me sad? D:
someone is always going to lose when maintenance happens
just have to accept it
not like we get maints very often
:(((((((((((
so for the new relic farm, DR and 5.4 are the only requiremnts right?
are u playing on eune?
when will the maintenance end?
estimated time is 7 hours
about 7 hours from now
Just back into my binge playing of FFXIV, and I’ll actually get into HW soon, how long are maintenances usually when FFXIV does them?
ok thx
7 hours? Jesus
maintenances are usually announced before hand
like this one was known for a few days now
its a minor patch so its long
almost contradictory phrase but i get what you mean
when 5.5 came out, a full patch, it was a full 24 hours iirc
major patches are a full day
not always
but major patches, especially when its releasing housing wards or a new tier, will always go the full duration
minor patches and odd patches usually can end early
i was in a cut scene i believe, not paying attention to time on my end. will this cutscene resume or should i just watch it on youtube?
if you were d/c in the middle of one you will be put back at the start
Is the Endwalker digital collectors edition sold out? I can't find it on Square Enix's website...

is there any way to Glamour WITHOUT prisms?
no
no
thx. I'll be in bed by then. Maybe another game to pass the time
glamour plates technically
but you still need a prism to put the item into the dresser
you still need prisms to put them in the dreser
Can I turn an armor into a Re-usable piece of glamour?
Glam plates
how long is maint going to take
forget to read when it ends
7 hours ish
But say I wanted to keep a Glam while I'm leveling up to 80, could I re-use the Glamour Plate onto multiple sets as Ievel up
thank you
yes
btw what is spirit bond
Hi im new to the game and Ive been doing alot of research into picking a class. I heard balance is really good. Is Paladin a good option for noobs or gunbreaker better?
you cant start as gunbreaker
You can't start the game with Gunbreaker.
oh yeah i mean like eventually
so Paladin
Max spirit bond gives a free materia
@oblique glacier gauge that lets you get a free materia at 100%
Installed 45 minutes before downtime tonight, perfect timing. Having fun rolling a marauder. Are there any guides you recommend for new players? I'm kind of having fun just bumbling around, but don't want to make any glaring noob mistakes.
all tanks are fine @elder cedar
well eventually you will have already picked Paladin, right? So you can play Gunbreaker later if you want
larryzaur has really good ones and is enjoyable to listen to imo
Ohh i see
!faq newplayertips @autumn jetty
You can totally change whenever ya want
it fills up very slowly is it supposed to be for endgame?
oh this is perfect
once you hit the level requiremnet
for class specific guides use weskalber on youtube
gonna read this
right on, thanks for the tips. I'll get to reading/watching!
@oblique glacier you get more spiritbond for doing duties on the same level
oh it's not about staying with the same piece of equip?
Does SE do sales on patch day like with 5.5 ?
we dont know
well historically
@oblique glacier no you need to do duties on the same level as the gear
It's been sparadic
so if its lvl 60 you need to do lvl 60 duties
"The game is unavailable for play during maintenance." So when it's up again it will be patched to 5.5?
5.55
ohhhhhhh so it doesn't matter if i switch a piece of gear? it's about the slot where it goes to?
ok so should i max spirit bonds b4 i change an equipment?
doesnt matter
Heard they are unlocking savage loot in 5.55 how will it work now?
it will be farmable
means they'll be no limit I guess
Does anyone know that if I pre-order Endwalker, will I receive all current content as well?
@remote lintel oh ok i read about it now i understand thank you
I been told no
Spirit bond kinda stops being worth when you have materia exchange and market board
@fallow rain you get the expansions on endwalker launch
@remote lintel Man that is kind of annoying
But I think on release date Nov. 23 complete edition will also be available
I haven't played in a long time, and for some reason I can't seem to get a trial account to work, wanted to play it some, but if I did like it, did not want to drop 80 dollars, would be nice to preorder and have all the content
If you bought the game at any point, you can’t do the trial anymore
well I figured I could create another square account/new email address
Been there once had to make a new email for new account. I think you had free trials that was only 30 days. I had 30 day free trial on twitch and it didn’t transition to free trial that included hw
Yeah, I have used 2 seperate emails and created 2 new square accounts, it says they have a free trial
but I cannot get the game to work...oh well
If you're having trouble creating a free trial account with a fresh email it might be because of vpn issues
I know that was the case for me
nah, no vpn
try vpn and a fresh email address
your ip was probably flagged already for "suspicious activity" if you get the 2501 error
ah, no error it is just asking me for an actual game time code
are you using the trial launcher
yes
on steam or windows
at least the one it wanted me to download, windows
you might’ve downloaded the full game launcher by mistake?
maybe, i'll give it a try
what's the exact time patch 5.55 releases tomorrow?
we dont know
we do know the time, they always schedule it
the exact time might change but they’ll announce it if so
Can I expect the game to go on sale anytime soon? Thinking of upgrading out of the free trial
¯_(ツ)_/¯
It goes on sale randomly
If you want a somewhat realistic answer it'd probably be a summer sale
the new 48 man have savage?
nope
So probably late June for the steam summer sale
or is it like CLL
what about non-stema sale
it’s like CLL
Probably
the 5.55 update
more like CLL
no the new one in 5.55
from the sounds of it
no there is no savage version of it
how do I fast forward maintance?
FFXIV isnt on the steam summer sale
I don't see skip button
oh so another CLL type ? nice i love CLL
Same idea but its also a "I couldn't tell you"
isn't it kind of bad/greedy for SE to charge $60 for 'complete' edition with expansion alrdy on preorder?
we need a faq for this
please only ask serious questions in this channel please
no?
How much does the preorder cost?
its literally the same amount of content as before
its the same thing as paying 60$ for the complete game and then buying the expansion when it comes out
$40
like every other game
assuming you're buying standard edition, its 40$
You buy full game now, or pre order fuller game. What’s greedy about it
is there any shb sale ? eu account here
pre-order itself is not an extra cost on top of buying the game itself, its just basically reserving your copy of the game
I'm thinking of getting the complete edition, actually
i mean there's no pre-order for the complete edition tho
if you're looking to buy the complete edition, with endwalker in it, it'll be 60
@round tiger no
but that will be after endwalker releases
I mean they could just go charge for every expansion in one go, so you'd pay 200 dollars to play to Endwalker, that'd be fairer. :/
my alts is running arr and im planing to but EW for alts account , but if has a sale now since EW is 6 month later , i would buy it
@short jasper I would never consider picking up the game if the buy in is $200
Small indie company please understand
So the alternative is that at some point they half to packages parts with other parts. And that 'some point' is when the new expansion releases.
Honestly I think $60 for the complete edition and $40 for Endwalker 6 months from now is perfectly fair
That's why.
6 months is alot time
consider the free trail too
you’re paying $60 for 4 entire final fantasy games
the amount of content you can get in this game is insane
Do I buy the game now or wait 6 months to save $40?
server resources for players who pay nothing
its up to you
Hey if you’re really patient you can just pay the 60 in November-ish
play they game until you run outts stuff to do then buy everything else
Any tips on the best resources players actively use to find static members?
Or wait till Christmas
(the irony of course, is that some of us have paid 200$ for complete buy in, over a decade)
you can catch up to current MSQ in 6 months no problem
#primal recruitment has stuff for you
Yeah, I'm thinking of buying the current complete edition next time it goes on sale, and play the free trial until then
that sounds like a good plan

So if I want to join a FC in a different world or something, do I need to start completely over from the beginning?
So I need to make a completely new character?
You’d have to transfer over for $18
If you're on for example Zalera you have to have a fc on Zalera
Yeah, transfer over or start over.
Oh, so there's a transfer process?
yep
Yeah but free trial
Yeah $18 fee or make a new character and start over
you can move worlds or datacenters for a price
oh, it's paid
but generally it's not worth it just to transfer for an fc
you can still play together with friends on diff worlds
I'm wondering because I picked my world randomly when I started
For things like raiding, FCs don't generally get involved anyways so you'll be fine down the road.
With Cross-world Linkshells, you can have the benefits of guilds in other games without any 'membership commitment'
I mean you can play with them but if you wanted to be in the same fc as your friends you'd need to transfer otherwise its not really a big deal. Well, unless its an issue for you
keep in mind free trial players can't join fcs
Yeah
I know, I'm thinking about not losing my progress after I buy the game
Honestly, it's not that big a deal.
I wouldn't worry about FC membership unless there's really one on another server you really want to join
gotcha
yeah, i only joined my first FC for the exp buffs
you can leave and join new ones easily
so don't stress about it
I personally paid $18 to transfer to another server for an fc but that was my choice so
same
I'd probably only pay the $18 to play with an irl friend
gimme a last name for a character
Esrunda
Nobu
Joe.
