Last question about HUD : cross hotbar is for gamepad, but i have a last hotbar called "special" in my language. What is the purpose of this one ?
If I preorder Endwalker from the SE store (standard digital), will it charge me right away or near the game's release?
But I’m old now so I’m not sure I’ll have the skills for raids lol
SE store charges on release, unless you request to debit now
@twilit arch Great. Thank you
Ate there microtransactions for gear or just for cosmetic
Cosmetic
Recommend classes to start
Cosmetics and story/job skips. But nothing that can give you an in game advantage
Any
Yeah, pick whatever sounds good
Wanna shoot fire, heal people, sic a pet carbuncle on your enemies, punch, stab, shoot arrows, slash or slap with an axe?
Once you do your level 10 base class quest you can start unlocking other jobs to try them out too

No one knows ?
Arcanist, a healer that has it's own AOE for questing.
After level 30
Arcanist isn't a healer
is the smoldering Protean crystals harder to get than the frosted ones?
I know, it turns into one, but there is no "scholar" at char selection
thats because it and Ninja was not added untill ARR i think
special hotbar? im guessing that would be the mount hotbar
Thanks, then i'll keep it
I guess maybe I should try contacting Square Enix support? 🤷
@idle nexus what is the error you are getting?
What data center should i choose
!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
@alpine shadow I switched to english, that was the pet bar .... Thanks 🙂
I’m in Brasil but i like playing in English
you would be playing in NA anyway
!faq worldtype
Standard: This World has an average amount of players. Standard Worlds have no bonuses or long-term restrictions active.
Preferred: This World has a lower than average amount of players. Marked with a star, Preferred Worlds grant new characters a +100% experience boost for every class to level 70 for at least 90 days, 10 Silver Chocobo Feathers to spend on gear at the Calamity Salvager, and a one-time deal of 15 days of free subscription for hitting level 30.
Congested: This World has an overabundance of players. Congested Worlds are completely locked off from new characters and Home World transfers.
New: This World has been recently added to the game and has a low amount of players. Along with the incentives that Preferred Worlds have, New Worlds will also give players who hit level 30 one million Gil once per datacenter. Home World Transfers to New Worlds are free of charge.
Legacy: This World has existed since 1.0. Legacy Worlds have no bonus of their own and can be Standard/Preferred/Congested.
yeah, EU is like over the other ocean
if I have the full game client is it possible to play using a free trial account on that client?
I originally tried paying for Crysta with paypal, but it's been stuck on pending. Then I tried paying for membership with my card, and I keep getting this error.
no
what can I do if I used to play with the full game but me or someone else who also uses the pc wants to play with the free trial?
hmm, yeah that's an error code i don't know
Odd question but I bought FFXIV + all the DLC for my friends on steam and was wondering if there was an easy way to pay for their sub on steam
Make a new mogstation account and start over all over again or you just don't

@warped veldt buy them game time cards
Sorry for the ignorance but where can I see the star for preferred world
!preferred
on character creation
Okay I think I have an idea as to what might be going on. Thanks for your help. 🙂
Can you use those with the steam version of the game?
When you make a character
yes @warped veldt
It shows when picking the world
Or even better is a new world right
Oh weird I had no idea that worked lol
well yeah but I think you can't play with a free trial ac on a full game client
there are no new worlds
Thanks!
Right but downloading the free trial client is such a non-issue
In na there are a ether primal and crystal. Does it make a difference wich I pick?
so i just bought the game made an fresh account and now the launcher keeps telling me my id is wrong ? wtf
No
Cool
Crystal has a bit more RP otherwise no
@untold tinsel did you make a mog station account
an square enix account the launcher asks me if i have an square enix account
!faq mogstation
did you make an account here
if you bought it from steam for example, it should ask you to create an account before you login.
or, launched the launcher for the first time
Thank you so much @alpine shadow !
Now, should I stream myself starting FFXIV? Or should I just start by myself off stream?
idk, some people enjoy watching people create their own character
I'm fairly new to streaming so I don't really get that many viewers. 😅
i tend to not like watching streams because people inevitably be like "OHHHH ITS THIS PART" or "hehehe i cant wait til he gets to this part"
yeah, usually those streams you should ignore chat completely
otherwise you get spoiled on the excitement
https://square-enix-games.com/de_DE/home is this not the same account if i click on password forget i get the email from this account ? it also tells me that i already have an account on that email if i try the site you just send
ah yeah, that is the wrong account site
no its not the same account
you need to use the mogstation
the SE store isnt connected to ff14
!faq mogstation
Apparently FFXIV has to download even though I thought I had already downloaded it. 🤔
when did you last update?
if you went from trial to full game then you need to download sb and shb
patch 5.55 was like 2 days ago
Ohhhh maybe that's what I'm downloading.
Hello so I bought the game on steam a while back I wanted to get back into it but wanted to play as a free trial player, do I need to create another account?
yes
And the game shows as FFXIV not as FFXIV free trial is there a problem with it?
If you have already used up the key for ffxiv, then you would need to buy the normal windows ffxiv version later on, since you can't buy it again on steam when you already bought it.
if you bought the game then it will show up as the full game
Oh I see
did you have a previous account before?
Yeah but I won't use it
but that account was probably linked with the steam key right
Yep
so yeah, you won't be able to use the steam version for that same steam account, once you thinking of buying the game
I haven't got the lastest expansion
which datacenter are you looking for?
Na
theres 3 NA data centers
there's quite a few preferred servers https://img.thaun.dev/bgdsk.png
If I buy the expansion will it work on my new account?
trough steam, no.
no you need to buy the base game
Oh I see
and you can only buy the base game not-from-steam, cause you already used up your steam key.
I still can play the game from my steam account right?
not if you get the non-steam version, but you can circumvent that
by removing --issteam launch argument at the launcher trough steamedit
otherwise just launching the boot64.exe file in the game, and you would launch it as normal without steam.

No
I will download the game from the non steam launcher then
thanks for the help guys
does anyone know until when the discount / sale will be up?
I bought a character name change, what do I do now I have bought it? Does it come in mog delivery or something?
It says log out and I should be able to do it, but there is no option
the name change happens when you login after a logout
From the log in screen? Or when I actually log into the server
hiya, can i do a dungeon with 2 of my squadrons and a friend, or its only me with my squadrons or with ppl?
just add 2 more friends or queue up
oh ty, its there now
you just queue with your friend
who has friends on this game? i have one thats cool enough ;;
I'm confused, I have pre ordered Endwalker digital download, and I got the items etc but it hasn't billed my card? And I have this option on the email?
So I don't have to pay now or something?
They don't bill until near launch
Oh shit really?
Unless you press that button
Even for digital?
Yes
That's actually really cool
If you want to pay now, press that button
yh was also surprised when i bought it two hours ago
So I can pay between now and release?
Otherwise they'll take the money in November
Okay that is very very cool of them, ngl
was like "why didnt they took my money?"
thanks for the help :)
free bonus 👀
same, steam been like "GIMME THAT RNNNNNN"
well, you don't actually get the expansion key till release
it's just the pre-order items
what's a good way to farm allagen tombstones of poetics for my lvl60 ilvl270 gear ?
So as soon as I pay they give me the key?
So you can't pre put in the code before November, okay nice to know
So that code I got was just the pre order bonus
you can put pre-order code
Yep
yeye
Only preorder codes for now
Okay sweet, thanks guys
but not expansion code
Very helpful
is +6 haste even needed on jobs like NIN and MNK?
in bozja? not needed, but more haste the more dps?
this is Eureka
is there any conceivable world one might acquire a mog station item through in-game trading?
only the old santa outfit
Elemental bonus is where it’s at
Does the reistance supplier in Zadnor require the relic to be complete?
No
no, all mogstation items are untradable iirc?

Housing items can be transferred if you both have furnishing permissions on the same house
One puts it down, the other picks it up
Its confusing since he says Bozjan armaments smh
for those that have preordered endwalker, do you get the exp boost earring now, or only on release?
Now
hmmm, interesting, thanks
Returning from 5.4
why did Materia prices crash?
and are hunts even still active with materia prices being so low?
Hunts are the best way to cap tomes so yes
because materia isn't really necessary anymore since the raids are over
It’s not the release of a new raid tier so materia isn’t in demand
What are the rules on bard performances? Just no non final fantasy?
so whats in Demand now? Bozja stuff?
Would Kingdom Hearts count?
I got a 100k from a bottle in rainer’s gully
Realistically you’re not in any jeopardy by playing whatever you want ingame, just if you upload videos of yourself playing non-FFXIV music to YouTube or other sites they might get taken down.
Oh, Reddit has said otherwise with the guide I saw.
Yes but I’ve no knowledge of anyone ever getting in trouble for just doing it ingame.
People do it constantly with no negative repercussions
Great, then I’ll become a bard this week.
Afaik what you don't get is the expansions until release, so you can't
base game -> shadowbringers
with a preorder code. Can anyone confirm?
also the collector items if you got the collector version
How do account strikes work? My room mate who shares a house with me got GM jailed for talking shit in party chat, he plays on a different account than me however
Will this effect me in any way?
@wanton ingot using a 3rd person or the mb for gil
^ or like, FC chest abuse
If you play on different accounts then it will have no effect on you whatsoever.
then you cant
*outside the marketboard
So out of curiosity

What are the primary ways to level up alt jobs?
!faq altlvlguide
Use a secondary account, I have an account I just bought the base game on (for $20) to transfer stuff between my alts
Oh no shit there’s a guide on it
Sweet!!
Also requires paying sub for it too though..
¯_(ツ)_/¯
You need an intermediary
71-80 is just trusts/Bozja/normal dungeon spam whatever you kinda want
Oh and fates in any downtime @leaden ginkgo
Rip, then MB/3rd person/FC chest are ur only options
Can the XP earring be put in the glam chest? If so, will it apply the boost still?
You HAVE to wear it for the boost
^
Yes, and no
also it should go in the armoire
okie dokie, ty. is there any way of having it both in the glam chest AND equipped?
preorder is the earring and a minion
Palom minion
You have to actually wear it to get its effect, glaming it won't work, just like every other piece
Yeah
no
Or porom, I can’t tell them apart
cheers
The girl anyway 
@wanton ingot collectors
If i get to max level and want to start a new class/job does my toon go back to lvl 1 again?
If I buy a subscription now, am I gonna be charged again on the first of June?
And if so, is it faster to level additional jobs?
for ARR classes yes
expansions jobs dont start at lvl 1
and yes you get the armoury bonus
There is no character level, just job level
Ah gotcha, ty
@leaden ginkgo you get charged after 30 days
Jobs lower than your highest job get double exp up to 70, and 150% exp from 70–80
the exp earring has stats on it
Yeah
oh does it
that scales to your level so
It has good stats that scale up
will receipts for the butterfinger promo work fine if there's other bs on the receipt? i forgot to get the butterfinger stuff separately
also; are there any useful tools for checking market prices on items across servers that are actually up-to-date or is it best just to server hop and see?
There is nothing actually up to date.
im going through unlocking all the normal raids right now. Is it just faceroll the dungeons until Edens Gate? Or should i research mechanics anyways?
Any MB sites rely on players using a plug-in to fetch the prices of items they check
gil is so hard to get 🥲
So I just donated 270k worth of Allagan pieces to the Doman Reconstruction project to see the cutscenes/achievements. Only the first two cutscenes played, then when I tried to click the donation box again, it said I could not donate anymore. Did only the first 20k count?
how often does this game come out with patch updates
its a weekly thing. you're only meant to donate to the given cap
there also might be some
icon that has appeared that you might have to click through
Will the next cutscenes automatically trigger next week? Or will I have to donate again?
Donate
ffff
You only donated 20k
Anything over the cap is lost
And doesn't go towards progress
what's a good place to look up a market price of item and what item to gather ?
@true verge if you mean the big patches it usually takes a few months, though prior to a big dlc release there's usually one or two extras like x.5, x.55, once even x.56
@halcyon mountain whatcha mean what to gather?
and I logged out and back in to see if that fixed it. So now I cant reclaim LOL. RIP 250k
your in game market board
botanist/miner
you mean like the gathering log i guess?
like what your class can gather in general?
like what's a good item to gather and sell
oh that
hmm
depending on your level, gathering timed node items can net a decent price i guess
you could gather in bulk in diadem / the firmament and max something like culinarian instead, then do the level 78 leve for something like coffee biscuits instead though
it's a great way to turn allowances into gil

I see
How many timeworn artifacts do you get from a DR run?
thanks
the coffee biscuits one is worth 3k per turn-in which doubles if it's HQ and you can turn in 3 total for each allowance
So my dad loves playing ESO, and I want him to try this game, and seeing how his birthday is perfectly lined up with the current sale, I was wondering if he could register the product key as a free account, or if he has to upgrade to a regular account, can he register the key in the process of the upgrade?
so basically one allowance = 18k
if you're maxed on allowances (at, say, 100) you can get 1.8m with them
if you buy him the complete or start edition and register that to the account that would be how his account would be upgraded
that's a lot of gil 🙂
thx 🙂
indeed, plus you get 3 allowances every 12 hours, 6 in a day or 42 in a week
if you gather in advance then you can basically do 1.8k every 2 and a half weeks
this took a bit lol
but the leves are gonna net tons of money at the very least as opposed to hoping to capitalize on someone hopefully being lazy
I'll need to lvl my DoL/DoH first now. i should have a lot of allowance left by the time i reach the level
plus since the combat leves kinda suck tbh the only other decent option is for DoH / DoL xp
have you beaten ShB yet?
not yet I'm in around halfway through heavenward and wanted to take a break from story a bit
ah, rip
the money-making leve i mentioned as well as the alchemist version (i think it's for the tincture of mind or something) is a ShB leve
the dwarven mythril file version is more net profit bit takes up way more space
i guess you could just collect and sell stuff from unspoiled nodes then but selling ARR / HW stuff isn't gonna make as much gil
Can you send gil in the mog mail? If so is there a minimum amount you can send?
Or maximum
you can send gil via the mail same as any other items, though it has to be someone on your friends list
Gotcha, ty
ie you can't send it to alts on the same account but someone else? yes
I'll just focus on leveling for now and start focus on making gil when I beat ShB then. Thanks for the advice 🙂
when you beat ShB then you can try to do the leve for cookie biscuits in a place called the Crystarium which is probably all i can say because spoilers
though if it takes you long enough to beat ShB then you can try some of the Endwalker leves later on maybe too
i guess otherwise though you could try to mine a lot of shards / crystals / clusters or anything rare / timed
it might be useful to have a higher level gathering class for something like that though so you can boost how many you get, especially for the shards and stuff
i see
trying to get my friend in for Steam free trial but this shows up for some reason
anyone know how to deal with that lol
did you download the demo launcher
^
yeah he's launching the game through steam
Take part in an epic and ever-changing FINAL FANTASY as you adventure and explore with friends from around the world! Experience all the hallmarks of the best-selling franchise - airships, chocobos, moogles, and more.In the updated Free Trial version of the FINAL FANTASY XIV, you’ll now be able to play as your favourite FINAL FANTASY class up to...
83
yeah taht
so he got this one, correct?
checked again, his account type is "Free Trial" and not "Free Trial (Steam)" apparently? is there like a separate registration for that
yeah, unfortunately it's separate for some reason
hmm where would you register for a steam ffxiv account bruh
is he able to copy the steam cd key to drop in the mog station?
the free trial doesn't have a steam key
if he right-clicks on it and clicks manage he doesn't have any option for that?
guys i've just redownloaded the game after a few years and i cant restore my old hud. Where can I find a samurai based hud to download?
nothing shows up. I'll try to delete the configurations and create and account through the steam client
yeah i guess he might need to do that but let me double-check with a friend too
he needs to create a new account through the steam launcher
he cant use that account on steam
yeah rip
Do you still exchange rings during the EB anniversary ceremony? (Since you already have them and all - do you have to take the old ones off first?)
I can pretty much discard all my grade 3 skybuilders materials right
Yes
ok yeah Cerberus had the answer apparently
getting him to just play it from SE store now lmao
does weather affect what fates spawn in bozja and zadnor?
If I sign up for a reoccuring sub, I wont be charged until my current sub runs out right?
Cos I used a game card last time and it has 4 days left
what floors do timeworn artefacts from in potd?
All
How often do they add new things to the Recruit a Friend items? There's the 3 mounts on there and was wondering if there would be more later? Or has it pretty much always been what's on there now?
droprate?
Under 100, low...101-150: high...151+ guaranteed
the last time they added anything to RAF, it was the managram which was like back in 4.1
Thanks
how many raw emotions does DR and Dalraida give?
2 and 3 respectively
Anyone know?
Yes
Yes I won't be charged until it runs out?
Yes

If I made an account with a subscription and everything already, can I use that same account on a new character with the free trial? New character, same account
Without purchasing a new sub
Or would I have to make a new account
How long will it take to complete the 2.55 questline?
you'll need a new account
damn
I can't use the same email can I?
2.55 on its own? like.. 3 hours? 3-4 maybe
aight
the cutscenes at the end are 2 and a half or so
So how often are maintenances? I don’t think I’m getting this plot I’m camping at.
whenever a patch happens, so once every couple months. unless theres a hotfix
I don't believe so? I technically used the same email using outlook but it has to be a different address. Maybe the + modifier might work?
Ohh
Wait. A 2 and a half hour cutscene?
Damn that’s a long time. Someone asked me if I was fucking serious on another server.
geez thats a lot
several in a row yes
I'll try my email @googlemail in place of gmail. That's how I made 2 accounts on twitter using the same email lol
I'll prolly just skip all of them and watch them later
Does leveling up jobs after your main one feel faster with the xp buff? Or will it feel slower without the MSQ
why lol
As much as I like the story I want to grab machinist
Like if i get my main job to 80 and i level say a ninja to 80 after, will that feel faster?
Weekends are my off days
you can get machinist right after that
if youre gonna skip any cutscenes dont make it those imo but i wont stop you
main job. leveling, especially 51-60 and 61-70 feels incredibly slow
technically it is faster because msq is slow due to cutscenes
but then youre actually enjoying something while you wait
leveling is very monotonous
So leveling additional jobs will feel slower?
yes
Because i dont have MSQ to lean on?
it takes less time, but feels slower
Ah gotcha
Guys how do I contact a GM??
So I’m leveling DRK after AST. What does this DK Helmet bar do, does the % mean anything else aside from a timer?
Are there any ways to hide online ID?
the number is your darkside buff, which you get by using flood or edge of darkness
On character page
damage buff
How much is the buff %? I seen AST so I’m assuming it’s pretty low.
10%
you should be using flood/edge whenever you have 3000 mp
flood on 2 or more enemies, edge for single target
Your MP restoration skill lines up with the maxed out timer so theoretically you shouldn't ever drop it
^
Oh okay I’ll try to remember that.
its basically just press the button when you have it until 70
So you should save MP for burst but also not drop darkside
at 70 you get the blackest night and have some decision making to do, but even that is basically just "save 3k mp for tankbusters"
The Blackest Night feels like a saving ally skill? Unless there’s more I’m not getting.
So there's skills for gathering and crafting
you use it on yourself or the ot
its a 20% shield that when broken gives you a free flood/edge cast
Should I work on gathering skills first or crafting?
so yeah you or ot gets it for busters
its 25%
Oh I see. Thanks for Advice guys.
FATEs are basically small world events in the overworld
they are effectively some small lore blurb as well as some exp
It's like a small mini fight that you're able to get experience and ticket things for your grand company when you join one
you dont need to chase them but its nice when its convenient to get some exp especially below lvl 15
hey im having a problem regarding the EW early access key. I have entered it but it gives me an error and says that "The entered code is invalid." ?
are you entering it in the preorder section and not the item code section
do you own the base game
i have shadowbringers and stuff like that
FINAL FANTASY XIV: ENDWALKER STANDARD EDITION [PC DOWNLOAD]
that's the thing i bought
screenshot your mogstation and the page that you entered the code on
idk why but your pfp feels so cursed
did you buy it from the SE store?
yes
This product is NOT compatible with the Steam version of FINAL FANTASY® XIV Online. If you’ve purchased the Starter Edition (A Realm Reborn) on Steam, then you must also purchase Endwalker on Steam to upgrade your existing account. ``` is noted on the store page
wait
so
that means
i just wasted 40 $?
i mean i still have the key what can i do with that?
sell it to someone else
Someone in-game says the Uk servers have a lot of houses for sale? So if I transfer do I keep my gil and stuff? Or will being from the US make that just not possible.
Can I unsync duties for the atma step books?
yes
Pog thanks
When Endwalker comes out, do job skips skip to level 80 instead of 70?
is there a way to instant remove all furniture from your house but still keep your house?
im quite confused about gear within bozja/the new area, does your gear actually matter in there or are you all synced up to lvl 80 gear
your gear is not matter as long as you are lv71+
okay, thanks
Welp guys
i have lost 40$ and have a free EW key that cant be refunded
so if u bought FFXIV through SE store
how do i unlock journeys end gear for my character?
i have a freee EW key for you
ps4 question
if i want to be able to type in the party chat when i do dungeons, would i be better off getting one of those little keyboard attachments for my dualshock, or just using a mouse + keyboard setup
heres a handy download link for you
I don't understand how to do this step?
I use a controller and keyboard combo. It’s a little clunky when trying to type in dungeons fast, but otherwise works great!
you gotta equip the weapon before talking to ulan
Any cheap usb keyboard will work just fine. I just use a $20 logitech.
that sounds like the kind of absolute logistical nonsense i have built my whole life on, thank u
Same here
you gotta be in the correct job too which is summoner
I am and get this menu
The game was meant to played with a controller (the devs say so). Plus it works well with a controller. Just buy a cheap keyboard.
did you put all points in the weapon?
You have to max out all the stats on this screen?
gotta fill the bar right at the top yup
Ahh
Ulan gave you a sheet that tells you the items you can exchange for crystal sand and you buy the Umbrite with poetics iirc?
Alright finally which exchange do you wanna do for these?
do i need to have my relic on for the books ?
if you have a gatherer, blue gatherers is the easiest iirc
Yeah the top two are the easiest if you have crafters or gatherers leveled up
I have gatherers lvl 80 maxed yeah, I thought you couldnt get blue scrips anymore tho?

werent they discontinued
Blue scrip tokens
You can buy the tokens with yellow scrips
if you mean the ARR relics, yes for FATEs/overworld mobs etc. you need to equip it before fighting the last boss for dungeons.
Yes
How long would you guys say it takes to level a job in the diadem?
working on Botanist rn and i've got it at 43.
tyty
Where can I find the unlocks for Ravana and Bismarck EX
how sb relics works ? to prograss
@dire prawn do gods of eld in the pillars
350 Gathering would require roughly what level gear?
all of them
Stormblood relics require materials dropped from fates in Eureka. Eureka has separate exploration zones, four to be exact, and has its own independent leveling system. Access to further relic steps requires leveling up in Eureka to reach the other maps and complete the associated quests inside each instance.
to unlock eureka i have to complete sb ?
I accidently skipped dialogue in a cutscene.. is there a way to repeat it?
Correct. The unlock quest is in Rhalgr's Reach after finishing the base 4.0 story.
yah the book in the inn
the dialogue should be in your chat box
thank you
Is Firmament decent for grinding FSH levels?
its fine
Hi there im looking to level my gathering. I see a few youtube videos talking about using the Diadem when you hit lvl 10 but the quests/npcs arent letting me go in. Are these outdated?
Do I need Cloutfishing first?
no
have you unlocked Diadem first?
You need to reach a certain part of the story to unlock Diadem
I tried to find the starting quest with the guy Augbert but he doesnt have a ! mark. I'm all caught up with MSQ and have max lvl combat
did you talk to the diadem npc on the left side of the area
Aurveal?
He just gives me dialogue saying im the hero and introduces himself but nothing else after that
are there any other
in the area
the only one is red and thats "towards the firmament" and it says I have to be lvl 60 to continue it, are these methods for progressing alt DoH/DoL?
well im in it I guess thats all I needed to do since the guides say you just need to be level 10 lol.
you can start levelling with Firmament at lvl 10
but you need to unlock it through the story 1st
finish the quest "towards the firmament"
It is after the trial in final steps of faith in HW interlude. That unlocks toward the firmament quest
I'm dumb my bad I was still in my mining set didnt realize I could do it with my main spec thanks all lol
Is it possible to somehow get Job Quest armor if you got a job skip?
I know this is taboo but if i want to make an alt character in the future, how much of the story skip, does the story skip?
how do i mute the sound of the broom emote ;w;
yah you can get it from the calamity salvager
What's blue gatherer?
idk. 
only by muting the game lol
blue gatherer is an old gatherer scrip currency. it was replaced by red then yellow scrips. its only relevant for HW relic now and you can buy blue tokens using yellow gatherer srips
when did they update housing prices to universal?
How does the armoury bonus worrk?
regardless of server pop
!faq armourybonus
'How do I get the bonus experience from the Armoury?'
As long as you're playing a Disciple of War or a Disciple of Magic class that's a lower level than your highest level class then you're able to benefit from the bonus experience. You do not need to have a class at level 80 for the bonus to be active.
'How much is the bonus experience?'
You get +100% experience from levels 1 to 69, which then reduces to +50% for level 70 to 79. The difference in level between your current class and highest class does not change the amount of experience you get.
I see. is the HW relic the blue ultima versions of stuff like Gae Bolg and Stardust Rod? I want those for glam tbh.
soo woulld it be beneficial for me to Lv an alt job before 70 ?
hearing the heccing broom go "WHOOOSH WHOOOSH" every 1.5 seconds is more annoying than hearing holy spam e.e
an alt job can help soak extra XP if you get overlevelled doing MSQ, if you want to efficiently level a couple jobs I recommend having one or two extras while doing MSQ @vapid spoke
but you don't have to
nope. Gae Bolg is ARR relic. relics that end with zenith are ARR relics. HW relics end with Lux.
How do I get the other egis for summoner?
like terpander lux and anabasis lux for bow and sch book respectively
summoner quests every 5 levels
Do you have to spend 5 dollars for butterfinger promo or will any do?
yeah i am a bit Overleved for MSQ
you dont have to soak the extra XP if you dont want to btw
there is no rush
you can keep using whatever job you enjoy playing
at least $5 you have too send in a pic of your receipt showing you did so
Yea I did mention you don't have to. 
So how do I get the blue and white ultima versions of the ARR ones?
I got the stardust rod itself but i did it a while ago and seem to recall there not being a next step. (a while ago being around november)
What's a good butterfinger product for $5 ?
Just buy like four or five king size butter fingers in one purchase
btw the only reason i ask about ultima weapons here is because the guides on it seem to be pretty old so I don't know if there's easier ways to do things now or what
Ultima ,-,? That is UwU drop (Ultimate Weapon (Ultimate)) isnt it?. Glowing one is just Zenith as people said but ultima one is from ultimate raid drop afaik
yea, its from doing UwU
this one.
you get a totem from clearing it
then you can trade the totem for one of the weapons from any job
Oh so did I even have to touch the ARR relic at all

at least i did it a while ago
the ARR relic is way easier but grindy
the UwU fight is way harder and you need 7 other people to prog it with you
UwU requires you to be on your game
Ultimates cannot be unsynced fyi
Ah, I was about to ask if ultimate difficulty content was all level 80 or if they were just synced
Ultimate difficulty is the hardest difficulty in the entire game
I'm aware.
The ARR Ults are lvl 70
ultimate contents are level synced to when they were released yup
since UwU was released in Stormblood, you gotta do them at stormblood levels which is 70
Cool, that sounds significantly harder than just grinding out a relic but now I know

Kinda wanna play again but I always end up quitting once I hit end game cause I can't raid beyond pugs and that's bleeegh. What keeps yall playing if not raiding?
lots of stuff
crafting, gathering, fishing, playing Triple triad, restoration, relic etc etc
Levelling all the jobs, collecting glam, chatting with people, doing content. Also the fact i'm relatively new so I haven't sucked the game dry of content yet.
what bait do you use for Firmament Fishing and where can you get it?
raiding is just something i do once a week maybe
lvling and not raiding at all lol
seasonal events
Crafting and gathering are...i struggle to find stuff to spend money on
I bought the expensive outfits on market already
thats fine. there are very little gil sink in this game
its only housing
and i gues teleportation fees
And those gold mounts
Housing is something I just don't care bout
you can just play when story comes outs and then be done i know people that do that
you could try doing the 56man
I guess, least I can play through it all now since end of expansion
that was interesting to prog
very dumb question, did they change the amount of exp that shadowbringers quests give?
What are the chances for this on floor 51-60?
how do i get the idealized coffer set?
memoria misera ex
user reported as not high, higher past floor 100
hmm I'm wondering if it's worth running floor 50 one to get them while lvling dps alt classes
or just spam DR raids
i am guessing this is harder than hadex?

in e9s, when transitioning from the empty planes to the next phase, i keep dying even though i usually at 90-95% health
does somebody know why i cant put my graphic settings on maximum or high?
its not because my pc is too bad thats all i know
How does the spawning work on the Elite Clan Hunt bills? I have been searching for The Scarecrow on the Churning Mists and ive checked all the co ordinates
Not found it once
once I reach a good job level, can someone help me with ui assembly. I studied hci but I dunno how a preferred UI is like
UI's are all personal so it really depends on you but you can look at other people's UI in #protips-and-ui and use them as reference
i usually go by some logic. like all my AoE is in this spot, my role actions are in this spot etc
chance at 51-60 is like.. <20%
Unless you're playing at extreme non peak hours I find queues for everything up to 100 aren't bad though
Though drop rates are still not good
How do i do this
I literally oneshot the mobs
as whm
Actually, does the job matter?
can I switch mid leve quest?
What is the /micon command for Performance icons, if there is one? For example, I want to make a macro with the Electric Guitar: Power Chords icon as the icon, what is the sequence? I've tried
/micon "Electric Guitar: Power Chords"
my scenario guide doesnt display to be continue anymore. Any way to get it back
not enough mitigation and possibly clouds are being let through
any way to know my next job location? usually i press below the scenario guide but, it isn't there anymore
housin question how i get stuff 2 go on lofts it Will not see it as ground
kinda XIV related, does anyone have experience with the JP SE Store?
@vestal needle if you dont have a quest under your msq bar then you dont have a job quest yet
which items in the Irregular Tomestone Exchange event are unique to the event, and how many times do you all run The Praetorium?
Just want to make sure I'm not being weird / overkill
Only the ronka ring is exclusive to the event, but all those other items that cost 1 token are kinda exclusive to mogtome events
The hairs and emotes come from other content
Are those just rare but not impossible to get outside of the event?
Sweat from Heaven on High potsherds, Shiver from Eureka Pagos coldboxes and maybe bunnies
Gyr Abanian from HOH sacks, form and function from Eureka Pyros bunnies
POTD potsherds
I believe you can, yes. If not, unequip a few things and rely on auto attacks.

Is there a bot for fete timer or something?
ACT/parser question....so uh idk how people showing you only do x/y amount of things
As in which feature shows you how well you perform exactly in terms of rotation and GCDs
Like i saw a screenshot of oh you need to more x and expected number is y but i have no idea what part of ACT/FF log is that
You take a posted log from FFlogs and put it into a separate site called XIVanalysis.
Ohhhh so it is different site
The Minstrel's Ballad trials are EX trials right?
yes
How to end bonding and lose bracelet or lose for both side?
which one should i get if im planning to start playing and get endwalker (which includes stormblood and shadowbringers too)
if youre planning to get endwalker when it comes out then just the starter
but you wont have access to stormblood or shadowbringers until endwalker releases in november
so youll be stuck at lvl 60
yeah im thinking if $6 is worth it just to access both expansions till november
i dont know how fast i'll progress tho
you will definitely beat the game in 6 months
no
No
Very occasionally dialogue will acknowledge your race
But this never changes anything about the story
ah alrighty
is it normal that the starting area has no voice acting?
i played for awhile but it felt a little off
Yes, only some cutscenes have voice acting.
only the very important cutscenes have voice acting
As the expansions go on a higher percentage of story cutscenes get voiced
ah... that makes sense.. im tempted to get the complete set now but dont really want to start the 30 free play period until later tho 😭
ooo good to know 😉
you can buy now and wait to redeem it (unless you're buying on Playstation)
if its only a few dollars more then i would get the complete
oh yeah im getting on ps5
just dont think i need the 30 days until im done with the free trial content
the queue for my current dungeon is p bad so
what's the best peak hours for dps?
just give me pacific time
evening to night
Like 5pm—1am local time? So extends to like 3am due to players further east
best way to farm raw emotions?
Common sense really. The time of day when people aren’t at work or asleep
How long we talking
14 mins?
I wouldn't say DPS queues necessarily get shorter at any particular time of day... if there are more tanks and healers on, there are also more DPS on
That’s nothing honestly
so I just wait?
Yeah.
or go elsewhere?
You can leave and go elsewhere while waiting
or ask someone in PF to join you
You’re not stuck on the boat
yeah I'm not
just already gotten past that point in msq just levelling my jobs now
Why am I able to move without stopping the cast at .50 seconds
!faq slidecasting
• Slidecasting is the ability to
move at the end of the cast as the game registers your cast to be complete.
• Mistiming it too early will cause an interruption and moving late will cause your next queued hardcast to get interrupted. (ping relevant)
• Here is a visual (courtesy of Cecilia Atwood) of the estimated time the game snaps the cast to be complete:
so when do I move
If it’s a 2.5s cast then at that point on the bar
If it’s a 1.5s cast then the other point
ok so after that I can move
best e10s guide? mtq?
either that or rainsama
but make sure you look at your pf macro
positions wont be exactlt like their guides
yeah. learnt it the hard way in e9s
learnt mtq for an hour only to find out that theyy use akito strat
until they boot you :sadkek:
Any way to update companion app outside of google play
I downloaded the apk from a third party site because its not available in store for my country
do u still do dots on regular mobs or just bosses?
can i ignore the story stuff in the beginning and just grind to heavensword? lol
Dang
Trying to go to Lavender Beds (first time) and it says this when I try take the Ferry there, what does it mean?
If you think the enemy will live to get the full dot effect then dot em
!quest where the heart is (the lavender beds)
Must complete this quest to access Lav Beds
Ah, ty
What should I do for some better gear? 😄
I do not have gil to buy better gear unfortunately and I can't progress through MSQ because my ilvl is too low 😦
Should I do Eden's Verse for Edenchoir or is there a better/faster alternative?
no, heavensward and the other expansions are only good because they build on the base game
arr is slow, but it isnt bad
you can if you really want to but crucial information is basically all packed into arr
Yes boss
@lethal cape nier raids, eden, msq dungeons
Thank you ❤️
Level up your GC squadron
I’ve been deploying my people every 18 hours
Takes you up to captain.
Have you done the flagged mission?
No it hasn’t appeared yet
what exactly are charges in the ninjutsu mudra ? and what is charge timing ?
charges are the amount you have

I see because I saw weskalber spamming "ten" multiple times
you get 2 charges max
so you can do 2 ninjutsus
when you use up a charge the cd starts ticking
@random girder why would u want to slide cast?
to dodge aoes
ic
slidecasting is important for movement
when you use a charge of a mudra you kinda enter a state of repeatablity, so although you can use ten a few times in that one charge you shouldnt
anything else?
just movement in general, moving to different parts of the arena to not get bopped
especially on healers and red mage its very useful
I am playing summoner
still useful then if all you have is hardcasts
but smn has a ton of instant casts so it isnt as important
but you will find yourself in an aoe hardcasting and needing to wiggle out by slidecasting eventually
like if all you have is ruin 3 and youre standing on the edge of an aoe, you can keep your gcd rolling by slidecasting out instead of just walking
It’s the level 40 flagged mission for 1st Lieutenant
Question about resistance weapons. After doing the first step with the scalepowders, can I start on a different class wep and continue with that one?
Yes

ty
Didn't want to make DRK wep aside from unlocking bozjan front and switch to SAM, so good to know I can
Which crafting job do I use to make gear for my gatherers and crafters while levelling them?
having trouble with the gil aspect of gearing them as I level
all of them
Does pvp give u exp?
bruh.
Is heaven on high still the best way to level an alt from 60-70?
how does one develop the memory to use combos ?
by playing the class
I see
^
I meant like opener combos
Learning by doing
like for ninja like use huton, then hide, then suiton, then kassatsu, then trick attack, then melee combo, then raiton, then raiton then melee combo (for level 50 ninja)
Rotations and opener are muscle memory.
I see, and I also need to set it to the proper buttons right ?
like to the cross hotbar
how you set up your hotbars is up to you
I see
yes
daily frontline roulette is pretty good exp. And just playing in general gives exp, more if you win.
is it as good a leveling roulette exp?
it's worth your time if frontline queues are popping.
will there be a bundle with starter set + endwalker? ;o
Is there a list of all the mounts that can be bought on the MB?
what can i do with extra triple triad cards?
You should be able to filter after those, no?
Is there a mounts filter? Didn't think there was one
how are people so good at this game that they provide a guide for the same ?
GNB has some amazing combos and rotations like a DPS class. Yet how come GNB only ahead of other tanks by a small margin in terms of overall DPS?
Id assume so? Never checked tbh
Mounts fall under Miscellaneous, so you can't filter for them specifically
Balancing purposes?
So it means GNB is hitting like a wet noodle with all that fancy combos while WAR has a spike of DPS during its burst phase??
like.... they are so knowledgeable about rotations and combos that I feel dumb
Gnashing fang combo is also burst?
They just play differently
GNB has to fully make use of its kit in order to stay even with other tanks. It's not "play GNB for more button pushy and your reward is way higher damage". It's "play GNB for more button pushy because you like more button pushy"
Tanks differenciate in the way how they play. Which is pretty good honestly.
Pretty much. to me, GNB was designed for people who found the styles of the other tanks too boring/one-note, especailly if they're coming from DPS jobs that tend to have more complex/longer rotations.
I see
I do see alot of dps mains going for gnb as their first tank
hey i just got pld to 60 and i'm trying to unlock the job armor coffer
Will I be ever be able to change my characters appearance again after using the Fantasia?
but for some reason i get this message
if you buy another yes
the game won't give you another for free though
one shot and then it's 10 bucks
Ahh, alrighty! Thank you!

I think there's a belt in the coffer too
if you already have one, you can't obtain another. Try taking your belt off and put it on a retainer for now
fabled belt of fending
the lvl 60 (and i think 70 too) job coffers all have the same belt across roles
luckily wont be an issue in six months lol
thank god
what dps would you say is the most fun for non group stuff ?
monk is kinda meh since its hard to hit positionals 1 on 1
thats incredibly subjective tbh and pretty much every melee dps has positionals it needs to (or should) land
I heard Samurai is pretty fun
@fast talon but you cant really land positionals when you dont have a tank no ?
not really. in solo content you arent really expected to, tho you do have true north
and later on monk specifically gets riddle of earth
i think any dps class can be fun, just depends on your tastes
basically i am either pala or whm in group content so im just looking for someone for overworld stuff
i like dnc just cause standard step can do a good amount of dmg alone
the one downside to standard step is its large radius accidentally aggroing more than you want
but i know dnc can be boring
MCH is fun
i find RDM pretty fun and visually interesting. also kinda self sufficient with vercure but, again, what dps you want is purely subjective
MCH is easy yet a lot of button smashing. So not boring

Is it normal that my Indigo Whale mount hasn't been delivered after like 5 hours?
Kinda just a skill you’ll learn over the course of the game lol. You’ll spend a lot of time leveling early on. Normally rotations sound way more complicated than they actually are and if you spend a little bit of time at a training dummy you’ll understand them a lot more
yes
no, that long is unusual. Try logging out and back in.
I have heard of people waiting 24hrs but it's very uncommon.
my Cloud bike took an hour max
The game needs you to either request reward delivery from Kupo or log out and back in in order to get you jumped up the mail queue
otherwise it'll assume you're offline or something
Logging in an out now, I already requested a few times
Spaghetti code, I dunno.
Is Endwalker going to be the last expansion of FF14? It has “End” to its name.
I found this amazing game just now. I hate to see it being on end of its life cycle.
No, just ends current story and we'll start a new adventure in the next.
@devout crystal its the last expansion for the current story arc
This game is popping it's not going anywhere. Everywhere I go is jam packed with people.
Cool. Happy to hear that.
I haven't done leves in forever, if we have max allowances can we literally turn in 99 of them in one day?
Actually worked, ty
FFXIV is still growing as of the last expansion launch.
So if I make a trillion coffee biscuits I can just go get a trillion gil?
I heard that's the good leve for easy money. I just got all my crafters to max.
The devs have expressed their dedication to continuing, with comments like "ten more years" etc.
Endwalker is even adding an Oceanic datacentre.
EW is in no way the end, or even part of a downward trajectory.
Was fish aetherial reduction reworked at some point? I'm looking online and caught some fish that were supposed to be reducible but I don't have the option when right-clicking the fish.
is there one more step to the anima relic weapons in heavensward for a yellow glow?
They have to be collectables to be reducible do you have collectors glove active?
no... what is a collectors glove?
What’s a low populated server?
Does anybody have any advice for how to actually get started with higher end content / finding a static or any group doing the current tier for the first time?
@slow isle none of them
@edgy sail learning parties on party finder or the recruitment channel
@warm snow nevermind I found it in my actions & traits, thanks
Get geared up to at least i510, consult a guide and then go into a learning party (or start your own) yeah
If you haven’t done any high end content before recommend trying out Diamond Weapon EX first
Self explanatory, at present none exist
Server populations are balanced enough that it doesn’t matter, and all content is done cross-server
We don’t have official population info
At most that one unofficial oceania server might drop to low population once actual oceania servers are added
It may be shuffled to the new datacentre.
Population balancing incentives should take care of it though.
Two
Tonberry and Kujata.
!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
Oh yeah two
Hello. I'm trying to register my email to http://secure.square-enix.com/ but it kept saying:
This email address cannot be used.
For details, please contact the SQUARE ENIX Support Centre.
I thought maybe I already registered that email to an account in the past but I forgot, then I tried to use the forgot password, it shows the exact same error as above.
This email address cannot be used.
For details, please contact the SQUARE ENIX Support Centre.
I have the email registered to separate Square Enix account on https://square-enix-games.com/ when I played FF VII I think, but as far as I know it should have nothing to do with the Square Enix account on the first website.
Tried to contact support, but it shows as this picture below.
Problem is, the email wasn't registered yet to any of the service so I don't really know what to fill on the form.
Wanted to put a code for the recruit a friend thing, but In the mogstation I don't have a button on "Your account" to enter a code, I just have "Transfer to regular service". I am new in the game, and haven't bough a subscription before.
I can buy the game from the Square Enix Members thingy but it'll be waste if I can't register my email to the FF XIV service lol
That probably means your email is already associated with an ff14 account
Your account -> service options -> big RAF banner
Have you considered forgotten password to check ?
could someone explain the shadow servant part of e10s?
probably more suited to #endgame-lounge
ok
I need to find my old e10 shitposts
yeah that's my first guess to I thought I registered it in the past and forgot about it but it shows the same error
I have a dump email and did try FF XIV on that email, and if I "forgot password" on that account it will send an email to me about password recovery confirmation. Totally different behavior from this one email.
Btw sorry if this isn't the appropriate channel. Any tech issue channel here?
Sorry for asking again, but I don't understand where exactly I have to go, I don't see it. 😅
No raf for free trial
i just realised the ps5 free trial already includes heavensward ._.
but, how do I put the code before paying for the subscription? o.o
anyone know if bozja's succor works on beast and bloodbath
