leaden ginkgo
#

so the free trial

#

is it only one month you get?

pseudo pulsar
#

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

leaden ginkgo
#

or can you keep playing until you hit level 60

modest igloo
boreal storm
#

Free trial lasts forever

pseudo pulsar
#

Gw2 does it better : free trial, and if you paid the game, you have bonus

boreal storm
#

I’ve been on it since last August

misty wagon
#

You can play forever, but you can only level things up to 60 and do up to the end of HW content. 😄

silent saffron
#

wait, the free trial is forever?

pseudo pulsar
#

They should change this for me... You should have access to 1st exp, even if you have the last expansion

silent saffron
#

it said 30 days?

remote lintel
#

the free trial has no time limit

misty wagon
#

It's forever.

modest igloo
#

eh i wasnt big on GW2 trail

boreal storm
#

You get a free 30 days from buying the game

leaden ginkgo
#

can u join guilds as a trial account?

remote lintel
#

no

faint flare
#

No

boreal storm
#

No

misty wagon
#

nope.

silent saffron
#

well dang I didn't have to spend the 20 bucks on the trial like I thought I did

misty wagon
#

lmao

silent saffron
#

starter*

#

not trial

silver ruin
#

potd if you can go to 200

silent saffron
#

oh well I'm loving the game so I was gonna buy it anyway

boreal storm
#

Hey on the bright side no limitations for you

silent saffron
#

true

#

does my account drop down to a trial account if I don't pay the sub, or am I just locked out

faint flare
#

Locked out

heavy wadi
#

you're locked out

silent saffron
#

fuck

leaden ginkgo
#

wait so what is the exact process, lets say I hit level 60

#

I have to buy the game?

#

how much is that

faint flare
#

If yoy want to continue getting xp and continue story after heavensward

crystal bluff
#

You dont have the buy the game until you beat heavensward and want to continue the story

pseudo pulsar
#

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

modest igloo
#

if you hit 60 you just cant get anymore xp

scarlet hinge
#

do wolf mark items change?

modest igloo
#

thats all, you can play another class

boreal storm
#

Each job can get to lvl 60 but it won’t force you to buy the game if you max out every thing available

remote lintel
#

@scarlet hinge no

leaden ginkgo
#

wait so lets say I finish the story, what happens then

vocal venture
#

But you can get all Jobs and also Crafters/gatherers to 60 and that's quite a bit of time right there

leaden ginkgo
#

I have to buy what?

#

the game, or the expansion?

pseudo pulsar
#

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

remote lintel
#

then you need to buy the starter and shadowbringers

faint flare
#

Trial is a test of the game

misty wagon
#

@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.

remote lintel
#

the base game comes with 30 days

#

you dont need to buy a sub until those run out

devout crystal
#

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?

remote lintel
#

no it isnt

faint flare
#

It's just the most active tank

pseudo pulsar
#

@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...

strange coral
#

No one here works for SE (that we know of). Complaining about the price to us doesn't accomplish anything.

vocal venture
leaden ginkgo
faint flare
leaden ginkgo
#

so which would I have to buy?

pseudo pulsar
#

@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

faint flare
#

Again. Very very very meaningful difference

remote lintel
#

@leaden ginkgo you either buy the starter edition + shadowbringers, or buy the complete edition (which is exactly the same thing)

pseudo pulsar
#

Wow is F2P since when ?

silent saffron
#

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

remote lintel
faint flare
#

Free to play to 20

leaden ginkgo
#

can you start at foot 100 for potd sorry i DC

pseudo pulsar
#

It's a free trial to 20

faint flare
#

No

leaden ginkgo
#

so you gotta keep grinding back up

faint flare
#

Yes

pseudo pulsar
#

FF14 has no free trial
If you have access to the content forever, it's a F2P game

faint flare
#

Only reason to go up to 100 is for 101+ runs

remote lintel
#

this isnt a question

#

take it somewhere else

silent saffron
#

okay nevermind I just straight up don't know what you're saying anymore tbh

leaden ginkgo
faint flare
#

It's only AFTER 100

#

Does the rate go up

#

50-100 is the same rate

heavy wadi
#

By the time you get to floor 151+ it's guaranteed, iirc

outer plank
# leaden ginkgo so which would I have to buy?

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

silent saffron
#

I mean you can hold off buyin ShB until you reach it, at the very least

crystal bluff
#

Finish HW*

silent saffron
#

cause the Steam pack deal doesn't offer any discount to buying both

remote lintel
#

there is no discount for buying both

#

theyre the same price

#

what's the point of chocobo porters if they only send you to the main city ><

boreal storm
#

They take you to nearby areas

faint flare
#

You need to interact with others

#

To register their use

boreal storm
#

You have to interact with the other porters

oblique glacier
#

oh on the same map?

#

so it's instead of autorunning XP

#

or are they faster than a normal chocobo mount

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

thin finch
#

how does party finder work with deep dungeon?

#

like do I need to erase an existing file

faint flare
#

You all need an open save slot

#

And be in quarrymill

thin finch
#

oh ok. How about if I queue with just 1 person?

faint flare
#

An open save slot with fixed party

thin finch
#

and future runs on that file can only be done with that person I queued with originally?

faint flare
#

Yes

thin finch
#

what about the other 2 spots, are they filled randomly?

faint flare
#

Nope

vernal urchin
#

if it's fixed, no

thin finch
#

so I need to track down those other 2 people to use that file again?

vernal urchin
#

fixed queue is you just go in with as many people in your party

faint flare
#

If you're a fixed party you go in as just 2 people

thin finch
#

Ohhhhh

faint flare
#

It's fixed

#

Static

vernal urchin
#

if it's just you and another, just you and the other go in

thin finch
#

so it won't even matchmake. Damn

vernal urchin
#

if you solo queue, you go in solo

#

there is a matchmaking option for potd

faint flare
#

Queing is the Matched option

thin finch
#

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?

vernal urchin
#

you can, using the matched option

thin finch
#

Oh I see.

Uh. Is the game drunk? I own the Law's Order rapier, but replica vendor doesn't have talekeeper recollection?

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?

earnest garnet
#

if I have the complete edition of the game up to ShB, and want to pre-order Endwalker, what do I purchase

faint flare
#

Endwalker

earnest garnet
#

cause I saw the pre order from store included previous DLC as well

faint flare
#

That's for people who don't own them

earnest garnet
#

i cant find a pack that only have Endwalker

faint flare
#

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

warm snow
#

Just as stormblood was replaced by shadowbringers Endwalker will replace shadowbringers in shop listing once it launches

these are the one?

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?

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

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$

^ hw mounts and onward have their own generic track that is nice for the first few times but also gets annoying lol

So about how far in do you need to play to get your first mount?

!faq mounts

Mounts FAQ

'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.

Is there some gear progression during leveling ? Or you stay with the same armor during lots of levels ?

You need to be a crafter to meld your own materia

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

#

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

The only exception I think is for the umbrite step in a relic

high otter

that's what I'm doing rn

For umbrite I need blue tokens, and I can't get them anywhere

short jasper
#

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.

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?

faint flare
#

Msq is top priority

#

Alot of blues are just side dungeons

#

Though crystal tower and hard mode primals are required

whole vale
#

I'll keep playing MSQ then, ty for the help :)

dark echo
#

is there any other way to obtain a fantasia other than paying for it?

faint flare
#

No

#

Not after your free one

short jasper
dark echo
#

I see. Thanks for the response.

sage mirage
#

Is there a way to progress the dungeon main quest missions alone? My duty finder isn't picking up anyone

faint flare
#

You're not strong enough to solo them at level

sage mirage
#

Even worse, I'm seeing other people enter the dungeon while I've been waiting for 10+ minutes

faint flare
#

You need to vastly overlevel then

#

That's normal for dps

sage mirage
#

dos?

#

oh

faint flare
#

Tank and heals get much quicker ques

sage mirage
#

I might need to pick up a healer class then

faint flare
#

It pops eventually so

pseudo pulsar
#

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

faint flare
#

Synced? Very low chance

#

Unsynced yes

sage mirage
#

I started with archanist, didn't know it was a dps when I chose it

pseudo pulsar
#

What do you mean by unsynced ?

faint flare
#

They're the equivalent of our current high end raids, which have mechanics which random can't do

boreal storm
faint flare
#

Turning off instance Syncing

#

And letting you enter ad you are

#

Current level and gear

pseudo pulsar
#

I remember that i did a raid and killed the boss of the cinematic

faint flare
#

So lv80s can face roll

sage mirage
boreal storm
#

You will have to have done the lvl 20 quest sylph management before you can do so

pseudo pulsar
#

I don't remember his name, the guy in red, the 1st main boss of FF14

faint flare
#

Nero

warm snow
sage mirage
#

!faq sylph management

faint flare
#

Or ifirit

zinc orbitBOT
#
Error!

No tag named sylph exists, Kupo!

warm snow
#

!faq job

zinc orbitBOT
#
How do I unlock my 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.

sage mirage
#

So I need to clear this dungeon to unlock it anyway

pseudo pulsar
#

No, the main boss, who enters in a Robot, and then we destroy the robot. The emperor

warm snow
#

Sylph management is just a quest

boreal storm
#

Gaius

warm snow
#

And he's mostly black and gray

pseudo pulsar
#

I entered his raid and killed him. And i was low level, but a waited a lot of time

warm snow
#

Until he's gold

#

Then he's not

#

Lol that wasn't a raid

shrewd owl
#

not the emperor btw just a high ranking dude

warm snow
#

There's no accessible raids in arr

pseudo pulsar
#

aah, i understand then. We were lots of players in it.

#

But it's not a raid, okey

warm snow
#

The raid series was all at what's now known as savage difficulty

faint flare
#

8man dungeon

#

The only two 8man dungeons

#

In the game

warm snow
#

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

high otter
#

I have 2 minions, which can't be sold or discarded. How do I get rid one of them?

warm snow
#

Use them

high otter
#

both?

warm snow
#

And if you can't use

#

Right click and discard

#

Use them to add them to your collection

high otter
#

as I said, it doesn't let me discard

quiet acorn
#

Does anyone know what the hud ui element is for item info ? Like armor or weapons etc

warm snow
#

Then just use them

high otter
#

also how am I suppose to add to collection another copy of it?

proud willow
#

It's not normally possible to get two copies, what is the minion?

warm snow
#

You either haven't added them or you're not discarding them properly

high otter
#

it's Puff of Darkness. I rolled one today, completely forgetting that I already have one in retainer's possession

warm snow
#

You should still be able to discard it afaik

high otter
#

well, I can't

warm snow
#

Why didn't you just use it

#

When you got the first one?

high otter
#

maybe 2 weeks ago

warm snow
#

That would have made it impossible to roll 2

faint flare
#

It was in the retainer

#

Game doesn't check retainers

warm snow
#

Weird, maybe open a support ticket

#

You'd have to get it and put it in the retainer in the first place is all

proud willow
#

Yeah, in any case, you would need Support to delete the item if you can't use it or delete it

high otter
#

can I open a ticket in game or?

warm snow
#

There's a help desk in the menus somewhere that gives you a template

faint flare
#

System > support desk

proud willow
#

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

high otter
#

And what next?

warm snow
#

Report a Bug

proud willow
#

as I just said

#

if they want a GM to respond, that will not help

warm snow
#

Best option of what's there

high otter
#

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

terse crystal
#

can someone show me their hotbar for btn so i have an idea on how to make mine?

crystal bluff

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?

edgy quartz
#

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?

twilit arch
#

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

zinc orbitBOT
twilit arch
#

covers how to level up alt jobs

edgy quartz
#

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.

leaden ginkgo
#

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?

twilit arch
#

that's only if you are power leveling

#

and its higher level

potent knot
#

Is there a a way I can transfer my character to another server??

twilit arch
#

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

leaden ginkgo
#

oh damn i didn’t know that

#

i was helping them with their hunting logs

silver vigil
#

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.

twilit arch
#

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

boreal storm
#

You get to play stormblood and shadowbringers in November if you bought Endwalker and nothing else

silver vigil
#

ok then. gives me time to level every other base class, i guess

hollow night
#

I think my above question was overlooked

sage mirage
#

If I want to join a FC on a different world, do I need to start completely over?

boreal storm
zinc orbitBOT
bright sandal
#

Hello! If I use the command tell, do I whisper a player?

twilit arch
#

yes, tell is basically whisper

bright sandal
#

Thanks!

hollow night
#

Thanks Fullteach

wispy shell
#

Do you have to do this for every alt class weapon too?

twilit arch
#

yes

wispy shell
#

bruh

faint flare
#

Welcome to relics

twilit arch
#

assuming you're lvl 80 all of those are really quick runs

wispy shell
#

Do you have to buy all the mats again for the old relics too?

twilit arch
#

yes

faint flare
#

You gotta do everythinggggggggg again

wispy shell
#

Newer ones really are generous when it comes to alt classes

faint flare
#

Yes, at least you can prefarm items after the first one

boreal storm
#

At least you can just have everything bought/farmed beforehand

faint flare
#

Like doing your singing cluster daily/weekly

wispy shell
#

singing cluster?

faint flare
#

Yes, it's one of the steps later

#

To get 50 of them

boreal storm
#

the 2nd to last step, iirc

faint flare
#

And you get access to a new daily/weekly quest for an additional source of them

wispy shell
#

Can you skip any of the steps in heavensward/stormblood ones or are they as unforgiving?

faint flare
#

Nope

#

Only shadowbringers has quests you don't have to repeat

wispy shell
#

Pain

twilit arch
#

i mean, shadowbringers only has one

#

so its not like its really different from the others

faint flare
#

so far

heady stone
#

are all healing class equal ?

faint flare
#

Yes

heady stone
#

like whitemage wont heal better than scholar? or pick over scholar in teamplay?

faint flare
#

Every job is balanced

#

And viable

#

They're all capable of doing their job

#

!faq meta

zinc orbitBOT
#
How FFXIV's Meta Works

All jobs are good and viable in all content. The difference between meta and non-meta is minor, to the point that player skill is a significantly more important factor. Play what you enjoy/what interests you most, and you can make it work.

heady stone
#

because i remember no one pick scholar before when i play pretty sad for scholar

faint flare
#

Plenty of people pick scholar

#

They don't pick bad players

heady stone
#

is dancer a buffing class here?

tropic flame
#

yeah

faint flare
#

It has raid buffs

wintry chasm
#

the buffiest job

faint flare
#

Primarily for 1 person

heady stone
#

oh i would love play dancer since my ff11 is dancer main

faint flare
#

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

heady stone
#

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

boreal storm
#

Dancer is a shadowbringer job so you’d need that if you really wanna play it

heady stone
#

i need to unlock the quest up to shadowbringer?

oblique yew
#

How many hours is the mainT for? 7?

boreal storm
#

No just have the DLC and a lvl 60 job

#

Then go to Lisma

heady stone
#

oh so i cant jump point dancer right off the bat to 70

#

i think my highest level is paladin at 52

boreal storm
#

Dancer starts at 60

gritty oracle
#

But iirc you'll have to do battle against lv60 enemies, so mind your gear while unlocking. (At least gnb had battle.)

open ember
#

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

heady stone
#

oh so i can only jump skip on some jobs first

#

before i can unlock dancer ok

open ember
#

you can job skip anything that isnt currently released jobs

#

and crafters/gatherers dont have skips

heady stone
#

ok i will prolly job skip ...or rather how long does it take to level 50-70?

open ember
#

not long

#

you said your highest was lv52

sage mirage
#

I've been playing about 3-4 days, and I'm close to 50 on a couple of my jobs

open ember
#

just do some roulettes

#

you'll be at 60 soon enough

sage mirage
#

I'm also on the free trial, so I need to gather most materials myself

leaden ginkgo
#

maint start after 1.5 hour ?

sage mirage
#

yep

heady stone
#

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

leaden ginkgo
open ember
#

thats on you so if you really wanna play dancer then do it

sage mirage
#

The biggest roadblock for leveling craft jobs is getting materials. I'd imagine access to the player market makes that process a lot faster

open ember
#

its not that bad

heady stone
#

all my crafting is 55+ at least...i dunno why i like doing DoH more in the past

grizzled swan
#

Are they removing the limit on the last Nier raid for the coin with 5.55?

open ember
#

no

#

wayyyyy too early

grizzled swan
#

darn 😦

open ember
#

expect 5.58

#

in july

twilit arch
#

going by stormblood release cycle, 5.57 would be the earliest

#

and more likely

empty kestrel
#

Question if it’s known- will this invisible timer end before the servers go down?

faint flare
#

It could

#

It could have any range

empty kestrel
#

I didn’t know if it like, went based on when servers could go down

#

I’ve been going for 20 hours lol

tender ice
#

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?

faint flare
#

No

tender ice
#

ty

faint flare
#

Cause you lose the trait that gives you the charges

leaden ginkgo
#

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)

tender ice
#

Okay thanks, that answers other things too. wasn't sure if traits were removed

faint flare
leaden ginkgo
#

Should you just use it right after your Kassatsu raiton (s)then?

faint flare
#

You can still get 2 Raiton per trick

#

2 charges is 40s cd

leaden ginkgo
#

Oh crap wait I’m dumb

faint flare
#

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

leaden ginkgo
#

I forgot that Kassatsu gives you a free ninjutsu

#

Thank you

vernal urchin
#

faint flare
#

They'll be out when servers dip out

Maybe a few hours in we will get patch notes

100% for jobs under 70, 50% over 70

#

It doesn't have to be 80

faint flare
#

It's the armoury bonus

wintry chasm
#

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

It's been "a long time"

but still 1577

random girder

all we know is its been under a year

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!

once you hit the level requiremnet

remote lintel
#

for class specific guides use weskalber on youtube

elder cedar
#

gonna read this

autumn jetty
#

right on, thanks for the tips. I'll get to reading/watching!

remote lintel
#

@oblique glacier you get more spiritbond for doing duties on the same level

oblique glacier
verbal swallow
#

Does SE do sales on patch day like with 5.5 ?

modest igloo
#

we dont know

verbal swallow
#

well historically

remote lintel
#

@oblique glacier no you need to do duties on the same level as the gear

modest igloo
#

It's been sparadic

remote lintel
#

so if its lvl 60 you need to do lvl 60 duties

verbal swallow
#

"The game is unavailable for play during maintenance." So when it's up again it will be patched to 5.5?

remote lintel
#

5.55

oblique glacier
remote lintel
#

no

#

its gear specific

#

if you dont use the gear it doesnt get spiritbond

oblique glacier
#

ok so should i max spirit bonds b4 i change an equipment?

remote lintel
#

doesnt matter

narrow vale
#

Heard they are unlocking savage loot in 5.55 how will it work now?

remote lintel
#

it will be farmable

silver ruin
#

not 5.55

#

5.57 or 5.58

tepid cape
#

means they'll be no limit I guess

fallow rain
#

Does anyone know that if I pre-order Endwalker, will I receive all current content as well?

oblique glacier
#

@remote lintel oh ok i read about it now i understand thank you

boreal storm
#

Spirit bond kinda stops being worth when you have materia exchange and market board

remote lintel
#

@fallow rain you get the expansions on endwalker launch

fallow rain
#

@remote lintel Man that is kind of annoying

narrow vale
#

But I think on release date Nov. 23 complete edition will also be available

fallow rain
#

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

boreal storm
#

If you bought the game at any point, you can’t do the trial anymore

fallow rain
#

well I figured I could create another square account/new email address

narrow vale
#

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

remote lintel
#

twitch wasnt a free trial

#

it was the starter edition

narrow vale
#

Oh

#

Ooops

fallow rain
#

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

west parrot
#

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

fallow rain
#

nah, no vpn

manic rune
#

try vpn and a fresh email address

#

your ip was probably flagged already for "suspicious activity" if you get the 2501 error

fallow rain
#

ah, no error it is just asking me for an actual game time code

remote lintel
#

are you using the trial launcher

fallow rain
#

yes

remote lintel
#

on steam or windows

fallow rain
#

at least the one it wanted me to download, windows

manic rune
#

did you download it from

#

!faq freetrial

zinc orbitBOT
manic rune
#

you might’ve downloaded the full game launcher by mistake?

fallow rain
#

maybe, i'll give it a try

sacred thicket
#

what's the exact time patch 5.55 releases tomorrow?

silver ruin
#

we dont know

manic rune
#

we do know the time, they always schedule it

#

the exact time might change but they’ll announce it if so

sage mirage
#

Can I expect the game to go on sale anytime soon? Thinking of upgrading out of the free trial

remote lintel
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

modest igloo
#

we should get an FAQ for that

#

"fuck if we know"

open ember
#

It goes on sale randomly

#

If you want a somewhat realistic answer it'd probably be a summer sale

round tiger
#

the new 48 man have savage?

manic rune
#

nope

sage mirage
#

So probably late June for the steam summer sale

round tiger
#

or is it like CLL

verbal swallow
#

what about non-stema sale

remote lintel
#

delubrum?

#

it has savage

manic rune
#

it’s like CLL

open ember
manic rune
#

the 5.55 update

modest igloo
#

more like CLL

round tiger
#

no the new one in 5.55

modest igloo
#

from the sounds of it

manic rune
#

no there is no savage version of it

slim mango
#

how do I fast forward maintance?

modest igloo
slim mango
#

I don't see skip button

round tiger
#

oh so another CLL type ? nice i love CLL

open ember
verbal swallow
#

isn't it kind of bad/greedy for SE to charge $60 for 'complete' edition with expansion alrdy on preorder?

open ember
#

we need a faq for this

manic rune
open ember
#

How is that greedy

#

You're buying a whole game

sage mirage
#

How much does the preorder cost?

modest igloo
#

its literally the same amount of content as before

remote lintel
#

its the same thing as paying 60$ for the complete game and then buying the expansion when it comes out

modest igloo
remote lintel
#

like every other game

twilit arch
boreal storm
#

You buy full game now, or pre order fuller game. What’s greedy about it

round tiger
#

is there any shb sale ? eu account here

twilit arch
#

pre-order itself is not an extra cost on top of buying the game itself, its just basically reserving your copy of the game

sage mirage
twilit arch
#

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

remote lintel
#

@round tiger no

twilit arch
#

but that will be after endwalker releases

short jasper
#

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. :/

round tiger
#

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

sage mirage
#

@short jasper I would never consider picking up the game if the buy in is $200

boreal storm
#

Small indie company please understand

short jasper
open ember
#

Honestly I think $60 for the complete edition and $40 for Endwalker 6 months from now is perfectly fair

short jasper
#

That's why.

open ember
#

6 months is alot time

modest igloo
#

consider the free trail too

manic rune
#

you’re paying $60 for 4 entire final fantasy games

modest igloo
#

the amount of content you can get in this game is insane

sage mirage
#

Do I buy the game now or wait 6 months to save $40?

modest igloo
#

server resources for players who pay nothing

remote lintel
#

its up to you

boreal storm
#

Hey if you’re really patient you can just pay the 60 in November-ish

modest igloo
torn schooner
#

Any tips on the best resources players actively use to find static members?

open ember
#

Or wait till Christmas

short jasper
manic rune
modest igloo
sage mirage
#

Yeah, I'm thinking of buying the current complete edition next time it goes on sale, and play the free trial until then

modest igloo
#

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?

open ember
#

You can't

#

Join an fc in another world

sage mirage
#

So I need to make a completely new character?

boreal storm
#

You’d have to transfer over for $18

open ember
#

If you're on for example Zalera you have to have a fc on Zalera

short jasper
#

Yeah, transfer over or start over.

sage mirage
#

Oh, so there's a transfer process?

manic rune
#

yep

short jasper
#

Yeah but free trial

open ember
#

Yeah $18 fee or make a new character and start over

manic rune
#

you can move worlds or datacenters for a price

sage mirage
#

oh, it's paid

manic rune
#

but generally it's not worth it just to transfer for an fc

#

you can still play together with friends on diff worlds

sage mirage
#

I'm wondering because I picked my world randomly when I started

short jasper
#

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'

open ember
#

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

manic rune
#

keep in mind free trial players can't join fcs

open ember
#

Yeah

sage mirage
#

I know, I'm thinking about not losing my progress after I buy the game

short jasper
#

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

sage mirage
#

gotcha

manic rune
#

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

open ember
#

I personally paid $18 to transfer to another server for an fc but that was my choice so

modest igloo
#

same

sage mirage
#

I'd probably only pay the $18 to play with an irl friend

gimme a last name for a character
