How do you look for high-end raiding groups then?
#603040765723148289 for me
Party finder, recruitment discords
But yeah, basically reddit, or the community finder, or the party finder
took me a bit to find mine but i love my group now
i get to play the class i want and grind with players just as smart (and dumb) as me
what region is your FC based in?
FCs are more social rather than being used as raiding teams since they're per-world. Statics can be cross-world though so there's a bigger pool of people to form a raid team.
This channel is for new or returning players to ask questions about Final Fantasy XIV. As a reminder this channel is a troll free and an off-topic free zone. For general discussion please use #general-discussion. <@&473626701947994134> are available to help in this channel. Thank-You, Kupo!
Try asking in #glamour-discussion ; the folks there can recognize almost anything.
Oh okay!
I might as well join yours, if you were looking for a healer, lol
i'm on crystal so you'd have to change to that
but i'm always open to help new players!
You're just starting out. It's gonna be a bit before you're at the point of needing to look for a static.
I will be creating a character next week, so I'm just making a research in advance as I procrastinate on my duties
Yeah, don't even think about joining a static for now.
Just concentrate on doing MSQ and getting geared first. Most statics are in down time now, since we're in the big content gap between the end of the current expansion and the beginning of the next anyways.
you can join free companies and linkshells at any time assuming you're not on the free trial
free companies aren't world locked?
They are
cross-world linkshells are DC wide, so its a good option to play with others
I mean, 18$ isn't much to transfer anyways 😛
FCs are mostly for social and buffs. Just join one at random while you're leveling. Figure out the rest later.
Will do, ty 🙂
my FC is pretty big, but they dont mind lurkers at all, so they would take you no problem
what gives u the most wolf marks for pvp?
I just start playing in free trial and take a like on this game so far.
Any tips or anything if I wanna buy the game?
I would strongly recommend getting it on PC, since the SE store often has sales.
Steam and PS, not as often.
SE store?
Square Enix store
which shops in Gridania hold the gysahl greens?
can vieras wear all the nier head gear
Maisenta, near the main aetherite
also, is there a way that I can manage multiple hotbars for multiple situations?
most of them iirc
so not all?
You mean the expansions? You're either going to buy the Starter Edition + Shadowbringers (+ Endwalker if you want to preorder it) or the Complete Edition (+ Endwalker if you want to preorder it).
can they wear all 51 and 53 head gear
Collector's Editions are basically just extra in-game glamour items, and can be purchased separately later if you want. They go on sale sometimes too.
Pretty sure they can
nice
Nah
@open coral alright then. Thank you!
Also, are there any problem if I'm not living in NA/EU or JP?
(That's mean I have to put fake address in account info?)
Depends on your region.
Most regions/countries are supported in account creation. There are a few which aren't, and people from those countries have workarounds.
can they wear the 53 aiming head band
I don't think they can wear the hat but what abt the band thats connected with the hat
So - I'm leveling PLD atm and I just got goring blade. So real question - is there any reason to use Rage of Halone right now? For that matter, will there be any reason to use Rage of Halone when I have Royal Authority?
doesn't it upgrade to authority
!action Royal Authority
!action Rage of Halone
Pre royal authority but post goring is weird
oh thats dot
and whats the most played pvp mode?
Rage seems to do the least damage of the options following Riot Blade. I do think something upgrades into Royal Authority, but it doesn't say which in the abilities.
rage of halone upgrades later
dont know about front lines
so, Instead of asking what classes I can play, what are the classes that I CAN'T play?
frontlines
Can't play under what circumstance?
I'm on the free trial
Ah
You can't play samurai, gunbreaker, dancer or red mage
Then Samurai, Red Mage, Gunbreaker and Dancer are all not available to you
If you're on the free trial you won't have access to any of the Stormblood or Shadowbringers jobs
And when they come out, you also won't be able to play Reaper or Sage.
You can't play dark Knight, machinist or astrologian until you start heavensward, the first expansion
Yo, has anyone had problems with their character not showing up on Lodestone after a world transfer?
I moved worlds and changed my name last year, the changes come up on MogStation, but not Lodestone
makes using KupoBot annoying
really? only 4 out of the, like, 20 jobs in the entire game that I'm locked out of unless I get the full game?
Yep
Well... 2 more in november
But yeah, since they included Heavensward in the free trial now it's pretty generous
the free trial is really, really good
....damn....
that's a REALLY good trial
Indeed
Yes. Yes it is.
just be careful about the 200k gil cap
So good, we've been encouraging our friends to try it and become a meme
to get there 15 Timeworn Artifacts from delibrum, do i need to be the same class as the quest on my resistance weapon?
no
or it doesnt matter?
any class will do
alright thanks
I only have about 40k gil atm, it won't be a problem for now
just gotta have the quest active
No step requires the job you accepted it as
why the ring cost 100 tomestone
is it special ?
It's unique
just a bird picture ?
And cant be obtained from anything else
idk how to get back to my quest point thing, can smb help me? would be nice :D
Serpent
😔 is there no way for XIVanalysis to get rid of non existence skill
like i am in level 60 dungeon of course i dont have blood spiller, and they dont count your weaker ver for edge and flood
how many hours does it take to go from level 1 to the begining of stormblood
doesn't have special effec t?
No
useless ;-;
idk how to get back to my quest point thing, can smb help me? would be nice :D
It's just a unique glamour you can't get anywhere else

Prices will be different on server

idk about your dc
!faq rolequests
What are Role Quests?
Role Quests serve as a replacement for Job-specific quests for Shadowbringers and are split into four categories (Tank, Healer, Physical DPS, and Magical DPS). These are unlocked with the quest 'Warrior of Darkness' at 71 and all start in the Crystarium around x10-11, y15-16.
At least one of these Role Quest series must be entirely completed in order to complete the Shadowbringers story. Completion of these quests, along with having the appropriate Job at 80, is also required to claim job-specific level 80 i430 gear from Grenoldt in The Tempest.
I can't find where I left off!
No need to worry! Here are links that lead to each of the Role Quest series.
Tank Role Quests
Healer Role Quests
Physical DPS Role Quests
Magical DPS Role Quests
sweat doesn't sell iirc
only shiver does
you'll make money out of gyr abanian plait and shiver
@leaden ginkgo
ok well its for my friend hes trying to start it and hes trying to start role quest giver doesnt appear for him but appears for me
like im here at the exact spot and i looked at his live and mines i see him and he doesnt
He's probably completed a step or accepted already
How does SAM play style/difficulty ?
my quest is "talk to baderon" and i need to go to a location idk how to get to
fairly simple, lots of big damage and few positonals/buffs
of the 4 melee I think its the best to start on
use the airship from one major city to limsa
Hey. I have a friend that is missing shadowbringers (he played up until stormblood). If he bought the complete edition, would he be able to get the free 30 days and shadowbringers?
did they get rid of multiple uses of continuation on gunbreaker?
No
there used to be a 6 hit combo right?
no
it still is?
Still is
happens to the best of us
Is there a way to get shadowbringers and a free sub bundled? Or will he have to pay for the expansion and 30 days separetely?
no sadly
only the starter comes with 30 days
Alright, thank you!
the game is pricy, so i understand the want to save money
complete does come with 30 days, I just dont think you can use it twice, which considering he already played stormblood means he cant do it again
yeah we bought the complete edition pre 5.0
then I bought shadowbringers separately but he didn't
honestly why not sub, go through some content before deciding whether he wants to fully get back in
he's up to date on stormblood
really would have to get shadowbringers to do anything new MSQ-wise
is "now" peak time in europe ?
everywhere is peak time after reset
I'd say it will be in like 3-4 hours. Usually people just get back from work at this time
do we have a brown looking effect weapon cane for whm ingame ?
We have literal tree branch as the 80 relic
shb?
two of them now!
Yes
still in sb
!iglam Ingrimm
thanks !
we mean it
where do i ask for people to queue with in this discord?
ok, thanks
⛏️
!iglam ingrimm recollection
No, just time consuming
hello guys! I last played FF 3 years ago maybe? I levelled a class till 50 to unlock the samurai and after that I simply left because I was mainly playing alone and I was really getting bored. I’m a player driven by the community/social aspects with pvp tendencies. I know this is not a pvp game but since yesterday I keep hearing news about the game etc
I guess the community is very healthy and stuff?
When exactly can you move after the seed drops during umbra savage?
I also heard pvp got few new modes
immediately
it's best to be moving AS it drops
So right after the cast then?
Iirc the sound comes first if you want to be extra precise
yeah, exactly
Lol no
exactly to this btw
Cast goes off: knock back then seed drop
If you forget knock back you have a second to readjust seed so it's not immediately after the cast
So after the knock back I can book it to the middle to see which way I need to go?
Ah there's a sound cue, I didn't notice 🤔
I can't really explain the exact timing you'll have to learn it
Gotta experience it for yourself
I've made it to clones ^^ I just need to practice from platforms, which is hard to do on pf
anyway any suggestion to a newbie who’s coming back are more than welcome 😜!
Quick question, I have the starter edition and want to upgrade into the online complete edition collectors edition would that be possible ?
Guys, i want to start playing but i don't know how choose a realm will affect me
How should i choose?
Will there be a steam sale on the game when there is on undergoing on mogstation?
!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

Ty!!
We have no way of knowing
Maybe maybe not

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
life sucks
!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.
Mogstation won't let you use a complete edition code if you already have starter edition.
ahh okay so that means ill have to buy the shadow bringers dlc?
yes
ohh okay thanks heaps
#kupo-bot-spam
for spare parts quest, the alexander raid gives compact spring or both?
just want the fat chocobo HAHA
I'm having a trouble getting the spring since CE is rarely spawns at zone 1
first two floors of a tier give one part, last two floors give the other part
both compact parts are from alexander raids
see Vis' post ^
i think fate drops are 1st and 2nd, CE is 3rd and 4th but dont quote me on that
afaik most people just spam a1n and a3n for the alex parts
wait i don't get this one, there are 4 parts???
with all the 3 quests there are 6 different parts
why I can only see axles and springs from the description
1st and 2nd floors i mean
There's 3 quests in total from zlatan
ah yeah, i was asking for the spare parts since i'm in the process of unlocking zone 2 haha
Can you change your lost actions while in the waiting area for bozja CEs?
ok ty ty, just read the pin as well
Yeah, you can change actions freely
Anytime you want
Guys, about classes, is there a meat wall tank like in this game?
elaborate
all of them have basically the same defence and mitigation, some self healing
I like the kind of tank that focus on health and defense, not the kind that need to have a great focus at dps
Warrior I guess? It has some skills that just beef up your HP and heal yourself
That's all of them
what are the drop rates for the byakkos mane?
but yeah, ultimately all of the tanks are about dmg
heck even healers are about dmg
You still gotta hit things as a tank
dmg wins fights
Abd all tanks have good defensive Cooldowns
Ty for the tips guys 🙂
how do i get jade sota on extreme
i have it unlocked but it says you only get drops from it on extreme
do i need to finish the whole quest line to be able to do it on extreme?
just gotta clear it on normal once
just go to Kugane and do the quest
It just involves talking to the minstrel, then you've unlocked it
wheres the minstrel?
by the markets
its the wandering minstrel
Yew
Except arr where there are both normal and extreme drops because arr
https://i.imgur.com/u1h5xBg.png why does it keep splitting the damage when boss goes away on ACT?
phase?
yes
am i gonna have to do a quest line for him too?
Extend your down timer
standard setting is set to a few seconds where nothing happens for autosplit
gotta set it to longer
what's a good timer for all bosses?
may need to fiddle around with it depending on the fight
I have mine set to 20s I think?
ty
i got mine on 30s
yea I misremembered I also have 30
This is it right? https://i.imgur.com/6QmkzRq.png
just the number in the middle?
yup
i think so, should be good
ty
yeah i cant find the wandering minsterl
x11.6, y12.6
check there on the map
if he isn't there or doesn't have any quests for you then you lack some requirement
most likely not having completed jade stoa on normal
Or you've unlocked it already, that's also possible
in what place tho?
Kugane, as we said earlier
sorry
There a way to increase the distance at which other player's nameplates show up? Or the number that show up? I used to be able to see way far out, but I messed with some settings and now it seems reduced.
Ok, thats weird. I am staggering every 3rd second. Anyone been through that?
How do i whisper someone by typing their name and a command ?
/tell firstname lastname@world
i need to do the "seventh astral era quest" to unlock ishgard for Astro?
not so much
the xp for that section of msq is low
you will got back down to 30 with AST yeah
msq?
i get it , so i will be high lvl
omg so low
bc it was made when the cap was lvl 50
yea i see the reasons
and i must do those quest to keep getting the new MSQ for leveling right?
!faq altlvlguide
sorry and ty
Tldr dungeons
hmm, i need to get to lvl 80 as White mage, and then i farm those dailes as astro?
to get bunch of exp?
Don't need a lv80
Armoury bonus applies as long as a job is under the highest level job you have
is there any event in june?

!faq armouryexp
'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.
ty kat!
Did they ever mention when DC Travel will be implemented? It’s shown with 6.0 stuff but I vaguely recall them saying it will be coming in one of the 5.57/8 patches
ight
"before endwalker"
All they said officially
Lol fair enough
Oh okay, that’s good to know
Note ONLY the preliminary notes said it, nothing else
Gotcha, thanks
You can't register it
can you still get previous event costumes in game?
Until the expansion launch
Majority of old event stuff goes onto mogstation
2 codes? I was given 1 code. It put Endwalker on my account and gave me my earrings and minion
They usually end up on mog station for $$$
The full expansion code comes and is allowed to be entered in November during early access
I got 2 codes but I bought on steam
Yeah, there steam
Oh that'll be why
have they announced when the ShB ost will be available on spotify?
What are the pros and cons of each lost cure action?
what emote do i do here?
usually /lookout, may be /sit or /pray
oh thanks
What's the CD on critical engagements?
So to cheese the Zadnor duels, do you gotta be an RDM?
What is the end game gear progression? I'm in 510 Exarchic and working on the Resistance weapon. Is it just the weekly farm for cryptlurker or is that step usually skipped from Exarchic to ???? whatever is next?
Ordained Chainspell, banner of noble ends, font of magic, lost excellence
Weekly nier drop, weekly revelation tomes, augment tome gear via 24man coins/hunts/savage drops...Savage gear drops
So how hard would it be as BLM
Sane as other jobs really
Again, flare star is the star
You just then cover the rest of the dps
arguably easier as blm because 9k mp matters less
you just lack devotion to further buff flare star
question I am buying a job boost and it wont let me go to payment method
;So i just hit the last quest for shadowbringers but in order to do the duty i need more ilvl
Any idea where i can buy level 80 gear with at least 410 ilvl?
Duty finder gets people for you
Get your job gear from grendolt
If you're not wearing 430 gear you haven't
is there a way to get gnb 480 gear aside from market boards
nier raid
Eden and nier raids
eden verse
Eden, nier or craft yourself I think
just do as the quest bids you and use the duty finder
latest msq dungeon has ilvl 505 stuff iirc
What’s the fastest pvp mode?
@twilit arch Thanks for explaining Feast to me yesterday didn't get a chance to see your reply until just now. I appreciate the info. Can you earn points in preseason as well?
won't count towards the next season
which is why generally ranked isn't very active during it
@leaden ginkgo rival wings
Im only played msq and picked only bags with gil lol. Im almost at arr finish but i feel very weak when fight dungeon or just simple monster in field lol 😆. Can you suggest where to gear up? 😀
Story and job quests
Give you gear
You only take the money if nothing is an upgrade
Still is
I just get currency stuff for moogles
hidden gorge is rival wings
Ooooh okay
Wrong moogles
Thanks!!!
I started a party finder. How do I start the dungeon? I dont see the start button
Mail moogles are marked on the map
Close the party finder then que in with duty finder
What's the best way to find hunt trains for revelation farms? Is there a discord or a comunity somewhere?
For retainers with battle classes, is the only stat that matters Gathering when going on ventures?
Try looking in #resources for your servers discord
centurio hunts discord is a very common discord to find hunt trains
there are also some server specific ones
Thanks!
For battle class retainer,only ilvl matters iirc
i cant find any other players for sastasha even when i enable every language im in queue for 15 minutes now
For gathering retainers,only gathering stat yup
Thanks.
okay thanks
What do you guys spend your white and yellow gatherer scrips on ive maxed them out and not sure what to use them for have the items don’t really need materia unless it sells for a lot on MB
My first time in the Dalriada and we only have 21 people this is going to go smoothly lol
It's been cleared with 4 people
Whaaa how? Oh have they incorporated the whole buff and rebuff stuff
It has the same scaling/echo stuff as castrum
^
When it's under 16 people
the fewer the people the easier
Get all the books then yea, its mostly materias,maybe some fisher bait and aethersand.
I sell materia on the MB with them
Ah I see
Free Gil
How does Chainspell rdm work exactly? Just aero/thunder 1?
Can I buy two caster rings of the same type? Specially the cryptlurker ones you can upgrade to ilvl 530
Yep
Just spam the long casts
Infinite dualspell
what would be the best place to find people for lanner/kamuy farming?
When should paladin use sheltron instead of intervention?
When they're tanking
You can't intervention yourself
Oooh I see
Do I need to find a static to clear savage content?
I can't join any pf lobbies because they're locked behind duty completion
@proven folio Are you grabbing the Kamuys from the Moogle event? I believe there is three.
It is extremely late into the raid tier and people working on relics
yeah I kinda started playing late
Just gotta bang your head against the wall repeatedly
Starting to raid now without a static will be very annoying because yeah, very late into the tier
Finding a static wont be any easier though :/
roughly how long does it take to complete a resistance weapon
The first one or subsequent ones
first
is only the FC leader the person that can relocate the fc house?
or is there a rank setting that would allow members with that rank to relocate by accident?
seems easier than anima
The main time murderer is the 15 timeworn artifacts still

Playing around w/ bard rn, ~level 50. Does Army's Paeon only affect skills that are cast while Army's Paeon is active, or can it reduce CD of skills that are already on CD?
I've been casting Mage's Ballad then Army's Paeon to get Mage's Ballad out quicker. Should I reverse that and try to cast Mage's Ballad right as Paeon is going down?
where do I sell Allagin Platinum pieces to ?
Any vendor
I must not be seeing the sell option
Army paeon reduces your gcd while it's active... Not the Cooldown of your off globals
Just right click items
In your inventory
To sell
Nothing
thanks!
In New Gridania there's an achievement vendor who will give you free items depending on how many comms you have
Mount at 500 and 3k
Do BSF duels have less max health than zadnor's?
Don't know, but I'd assume the honors trivialize the old duels
What if I have a wordrobe placed in my guild for the glamour storage and I leave a guild?
Does it goes to my inventory or is it stuck in the nether wardrobe
The Armourie is character specific
i think they're referring to the apparel showcase
I mean
the physical storage I have placed in my FC's flat
what happends to it and items stored in it
we're talking about this are we
when I leave the guild and lose my flat
based on aquarium logic, anything inside it would be lost
you cant place a glamour dresser in an apartment
oh wow
So there is no rly a good way for ppl without houses to store glamour stuff?
Our don't need a house
yes, you use a glamour dresser
no? use an inn room
The inn room
Inn rooms in major cities
The inn room you get at level 5 or so
The story has you in the inn Room a few times
And you have access to one in every major city state
You unlock it before you unlock the glamour system which is a level 15 quest
Notably, you can't customize the furniture inside an inn room
If you want a unique layout, that's what apartments are for
for the resistance weapons there is one step i heard that you only need to do once, is that the one where you gather 18 memories from both HW and SB alliance raids?
There's two one-time steps, actually. That's one of them and the other requires you to gather 180 items from different skirmishes and CEs in zadnor
Can i use a real guitar as a controller for playing bard
i take it that second one is for the new forms right?
Yeeup
If you ser it all up properly. Someone did savage with it
okay good. have no interest in those so won't have to do those in a while
Why are there always people sweeping on the bridge between the main aetheryte and Twin Adder HQ in Gridania?
fun?
I have a question for Heaven on High. I'm trying to level my Red mage to 70 and i read somewhere that HoH 21-30 is the best way to go and that you can just start at 21 each run... how do i do that?
I cleared 21-30 but can only start back at floor 1?
It’s a dirty bridge
did you do the quests?
Well that explains it then 
gotta do them to be able to start at floor 21
That makes a lot more sense, thank you
so i was wondering
what do i do with all the fish ive gotten from firnament
sell? desynthesis?
Desynth For mats
took me about 150 fates for that step
18 each
Oh okay i see thank you so much you both ^ ^
Amazing thank you
how long does returner last?
7 days
i can't believe i'm getting 3 different answers from 3 different sources
Generally ye
Gotcha
we try to be up to date on here, what were the other sources
Hi guys, I have a friend who is getting back to subscribing to FFXIV after a long time, but he does not remember his password. He wants to get in contact with customer service, but the thing is he also dont remember an answer to his security question. Any way for him to get in touch with SE customer service?
I'm afraid without the correct answer to the security question your friend's chances are very slim. That's exactly what it's for
So what's the point in pvp rank and what's the highest the rank goes?
No point
bragging rights
Old thing
novice network people
one said 2 weeks one said 72 hrs
Its7 days
So, I noticed that people around the internet talk about how "buggy" or broken the official launcher is. I haven't encountered any issues but is there a reason why people would use a different launcher?
official launcher uses Internet Explorer
I am not kidding
that's the main source of any issues
bruh
Oh really?
anyway, the most popular unofficial launcher supports a number of nice QoL features and a few addons
so it is kind of better just going with the number of features, even if you don't have any issues
what's the link to the unofficial one again? just wanna make sure I'm dl'ing the correct one
i'm not sure it's allowed to be posted
Oh, I guess Internet explorer is a good reason to hate it lol
eh should be fine in here
I don't actually use it myself so no idea 
nah, linking quicklauncher should be fine
i understand why you dont wanna tho
this should be it
Ah, thank you. I'll be sure to set it up later!
!faq quicklauncher
just fyi, it is technically against tos
for future reference
i like using the title screen plugin so i can switch title screens when i get to expansions
the fact that it automatically went to shadowbringers title when i bought it annoyed me
@twilit arch did you ever get around to submitting that faq for story skips?
No
Preventing people from story skips is largely opinionated anyways
Not a necessity
well yeah we just had a big kerfuffle about it
I don't think that would be the point, moreso that it isn't a level skip
what time would be best create a character on a server thats unable to crate characters cause it too full
An off hour so early morning or late at night
No
That those positions in the macro/strats are already claimed
Range 1 and healer 1 spots
when you have already done it for the week, the rewards are reduced down to 1 chest
!faq savageloot
Per tier:
First floor: (Belt/Earring/Necklace/Bracelet/Ring) x3
Second floor: (Head/Gloves/Boots) x2 + Weapon Tomestone + Glaze
Third floor: Head/Gloves/Boots + Legs + Twine + Solvent
Fourth floor: Weapon + Chest + Random single weapon + Mount + Minion
Loot Rules: Following each weekly reset, every player has a chance to obtain loot from the Savage encounters of the current raid tier. Upon clearing each floor, you will obtain 1 book specific to that fight (e.g. Book of Anamorphosis) and a chance to roll on the loot from that floor. Regardless of if you obtained loot from your weekly clear, you will be barred from rolling on loot from the same encounter until the next weekly reset.
Entering an encounter before clearing the previous floor(s) will relinquish all rewards from previously uncleared floors. (e.g. Entering E12S before clearing E9S for the week will relinquish loot from E9S, E10S, and E11S.) You will lose a chance to earn a book and your chance to roll on any loot that drops that week.
The number of players in your party that have cleared/skipped the encounter for the week will also affect the loot you will get after clearing the encounter.
0 players cleared: 2 chests
1-4 players cleared: 1 chest
5-8 players cleared: 0 chests
Its based on the number of people who haven't cleared
That wasn't why people requested jt
What's the difference between story skip and hero's journey? Doesn't story skip also give you lvl 70, but also skips story? And is story skip affected by road to 70? Because if it just completes all story quests — it should give much more exp than for lvl 70
story skip doesnt give you a lvl 70
I have tried to pre-order the Endwalker Expansion. And every time I do so, it sends me back to checkout. All of my info is in there. Anyone else have any problems?
So it completes the story without any quest rewards, right?
SE store been a bit funky these past few weeks, maybe give it an hour or two?
not good with tech problems sadly
What about hero's journey? Just level 70 job without story progression?
yep
I have before I started my shift at work and natta.
So basically if I start new character I want to buy both? 😄
welcome to the pain of alts
hmm... maybe try #technology-discussion ?
Why people have alts in this game btw?
So pretty much why I created new one
ye
I still think an FAQ about story skips is necessary, because too many people think they can skip to the endgame and understand everything perfectly fine.
^
and I mean... it's literally a frequently asked question
Put it in discord feedback don't clutter the channel with this
Anima weapon, I'm starting it and I wanted to know if we have to do any specific fates in mentioned areas or is it just any fates in, say I want ice luminous crystal, so I have to go to coerthas and grind as much fates there as possible
granted its been a week since one was last asked afaik
That's a bane of any MMORPG with such "instant max level token" in the shop
Ffxiv doesn't even have a max level token for that very reason
I had my time in SWTOR, dealing with such players, while I was leveling every single job from 0 by myself to understand it better. Powerleveling in SWTOR is much faster and less tedious though
Nevermind the preorder went through. what happened was that it had the 60 day game card attached to it. Which was why it would not let me complete it. But it's all good now
ah great!
So yeah. If anyone is trying to preorder the Endwalker expansion and if you have something from the previous cart. Do not merge it.
1-70 still requires some invested time, which forces you to learn your job. At least you're not COMPLETELY braindead by the end of it
Antares #video-games-general
I literally mentioned another game once in the context of ff14 😄
Yes but it was devolving into discussion
I need some help organizing my inventory. What should i keep? and what to do about materials ?
it's gettign very full
sell the mats tbh, it's easy to get them back later
Toss everything that's not immediately usable
If wiki says I can get Hades's Auracite from desynthesis of his weapons, is there a specific desynthesis level I need? Or anything works?
Anything, it's just a higher chance with a higher desynth
no, you need 430 desynthesis skill
Oh what the
well, not need but ideally want to be at that
I think I have 30..
because if you're at or above the item's desynthesis skill then there's better chance of getting the rarer stuff from it
hey, its better than before, where you had to BE the desynth level of the item
now its just a bonus
okay i have some horns can i get rid of them? also i have "behemoth horns"?
you can still get it at the lower desynthesis skill, just don't really expect it
Where do I check my desynthesis level?
under crafter lvl in the character menu
behemoth horns can be exchanged in mor dhona to aelina for a couple of items
Alright. All good to go. Once I log into game. Even though I have preorder it. I would still have to register it to my service account.
oh dang
desynth stuff
Hi is Heavensward story directly connected ARR? can I skip the story of arr?
Anything specific to make it fast?
Everything is linear
yes, they are very connected
Wrong pin
np
2.0 to 6.0 is one long story, so they are connected.
Hey eveyrone!
Im about to pre-order Endwalker. I have a question tho. I wanna purchase the expansion only. Dont need any physical items. Im a bit confused which one it is.
You can skip it with money, but like don’t
i just didn't read quests until now but now it started to get interesting
Standard edition
that said if you want to be cheap, you can farm dungeons and just mass desynth that
so i wonder if missed out alot
FINAL FANTASY XIV: Endwalker Digital Collector's Edition
Windows® (Digital Download)
There's no physical CD anymore
Ah so its the standard. Yea I also dont want the extra stuff which some options contains
Tyvm! 🙂
Thank you!
there's a story recap in the pins of #archived-lore-spoilers . definitely give it a read before you get to HW
as noted in the picture i posted, you want to make sure you have tinkers calm and bacon broth up. ideally wanna stockpile before doing it so you make the most use of them
I have a set of antique armour but i cant sell it ? in my inventory
yes
kakalan can exchange those antique armour pieces for the i90 artifact gear recolours
Does it matter if HQ or NQ?
which if you don't want/already have stored in the dresser, you can either desynth or use them for expert deliveries
for the items you're desynthing, no
hq/nq doesn't matter
Wait I thought the only way to dye that gear was using augmentation pieces
Ohhhhh
If i change Grand company do i need to level up my rank again ?
there's nothing in the rules against dm'ing any of the mentor, though not all of us have our dms opened
Yes, you need to level up ranks in your new grand company
oh man
Hey, when farming Timeworn Artifacts for relic weapon, is PotD 51-60 actually a viable option or nah? It seems like I have run it a lot of times (as well as 51-100), and no artifacts are dropping. Is the RNG just crazy low? How high do you need to be for it to actually start dropping?
Under 100 it's pretty low
rng is very low, gets higher as you go further down (much higher above 100)
for those, a deep dive does better
1-100 it's like a 20% rate at best, but the curve is exponential the higher you go
I see. So without a premade party, I should just stick with DR then. Alright, thanks!
so running 100-200 2-3 times is faster than dr if you have a decent group, is what im seeing
i should do that
still a pretty new player here, looking for an opinion...
currently NIN, level 32. is it a silly idea to start leveling a BLM or SMN?
can start leveling other jobs whenever you want
its a bit easier to level alt jobs once you've completed the msq, since you've got all options basically available to you for the most part
I'd recommend at least finishing your current to 50 but that's just me, like they said you can do whatever you want you'll just have to go through the msq longer
Silly? No. But if you start leveling another class around that level you risk getting burnt out by doing low level content over again with no high level content to balance it out. Purely up to you though, if you want to go for another class then by all means go for it though
but there's nothing wrong with starting a new job sooner
Usually though, it gets easier the further you level one job due to unlocking side content. DPS in particular benefit indirectly with a job at 80 due to unlocking Bozja for 71-80
awesome. thank you for the insight everyone 🙂
also after 50 msq you get msq roulette, which while soulcrushing is great for xp
Hey yall, so the game is on sale atm on square enix but im on a free trial atm. If i buy the PC Download version does it give me a code that i then use in the Mog Station account section to upgrade? Or do I need to buy the PC version im so confused which one to get. Also i play on NA servers but im in EU does it matter if I buy it from the EU store or do I need to buy a NA copy in order to play the game from my free trial?
1: you need to buy the code for the region your SE account is set to
So if you have an EU account, you need an EU code
2: you then buy the PC version assuming you're on PC. you also have the option of using Steam, but be aware you're locked into steam for expansion purchases.
PC download is digital copy, PC is physical copy
So um, I'm a little indecisive about what I should play
I kind of like 4 different jobs: Astrologian, Scholar, Warrior and Gunbreaker
What would be the pros and cons of those classes and what could help me into choosing a main? 😦
also what server you're playing on =/= your mogstation account region. your mogstation account region is the thing that's important when buying a product key
!faq meta
When you say buy code? Im confused, I thought i just need to buy the game and it gives me a code?
so if your mogstation acct is EU, you need an EU code
why not play them all?
^
the product codes are region locked
Oo ok does it say what region my account is in the Mog Station?
Because it's hard to level to 80 and get gear on all 😦
Not really
only 2 sets of gear for those
healing and fending
All healers can have the same gear
It gets easier with time
And all tanks can have the same gear
Gear is transferable? Didn't know 😮
Square Enix Account settings > account information > Region
You just change the weapon
unless you're savage raiding gearing is very easy
The leveling still takes a lot tho :/
Not really
yeah, all tanks are fending all healers healing all ranged aiming and then melee dps have some variance
Can cap a job in a week or less
Most gear is role based
Not really. I have friends with full time jobs who have more than a few jobs to 80
looks like this @low blade the "your registered region"
assuming you do your dailies and keep doing MSQ you coould have 4 lvl 80's in like a month and a half
Some sets are job based, but they’re basically glam after a point
Yeah found it, tysm!
A month and a half is a very long time 😮
That as well. Expansion jobs start at 30, 50, and 60 respectively. You need just a job at that level except for the 30 jobs, as that requires access to ishgard which is the first expansion, which requires you to finish the base game story quests
That one I know, I had fun in the MSQ with the story, but farming potd and hoh for a month and a half on 4 chars is no fun 😦
There's a lot of cutscenes, with significant ones having production quality of a mainline FF game cause well... This is a mainly FF game
!faq altlvlguide
You don't do those for tank/healers
potd and hoh is trash for tanks/healers
😮
Dungeons are the best xp
You don't do alt jobs because you have to, you do them because you want to
Potd/hoh are only good if your ques arr 15mins+
wait, are you done with story?
I see O.o
Somebody told me that's the fastest way to level up, but now that I think about it... He is playing Dragoon/DPS classes, so that explains it
ye
Yes, I have a level 80 WHM that's gotten boring after 500 hours 😅
oh then itll take you two weeks tops
!faq armouryexp
'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.
this thing makes leveling significantly faster :p
Ohh 😮
this is why we say "why not play them all"
you CAN play them all
also, gearing is stupid easy. just buy ilvl 510 gear for your tank
boom, can do all content
So then... I just complete duty roulettes every day on all chars, and then spam highest level dungeon I can on the class I want to level?
I don't think I can do that with 150k gil 😅
then its time to grind expert and e9-e12!
hell, doing the new zadnor stuff gives 525 gear
What is that 😮
expert roulette and eden raids
Ohhhh
Help please are there any tricks for dealing with the map system ? I got to level 13 but honestly more then 65% of my playtime is trying to understand this crappy map@and where should I go for quests
!faq newplayertips
that should help
Thanks but it dosent
Already read that all
Dosent help with the map
Most boring shit I played in years. When I get gameplay it’s great. But the map@is just regarded
that should at least help with what quests to follow
the map's been fine for me
make sure it's locked
Até you playing on Pc?
Perhaps in Pc it’s not so horrible
It's the same
You get used to it.
my psn friends have no issues with it afaik
So uh, click on the icon of the MSQ, it will show exactly where to go
If it's still confusing and don't know where to go, click on this to see the region:
Does the recommended gear is good ? (for leveling)
Thr only difference between console and pc is how you access skills
For what it's worth, the expansions get better since there's only 6 zones per expansion rather than what.... 15?
yep should be good
Yes it's fine while levelling
The new player experience so far is so awful seriously. At the beginning the whole diferent levels is trick. Why can’t u get an arrow in minimap
The mini map has an arrow when you're in the same zone as the objective
There is one if you are on the correct map
I’m playing with other dude from Reddit that started yesterday he is a litle ahead but still complaining about the stupid map
After clicking like five buttons to get to the map and trying to looking for the thing
Anyway
If the quest is on a different map then the marker will be on the respective zone transition
@hallow hare It's not worst than early Gw2...
Sometimes map in town is weird, but just zoom a little, and you'll see doors better.
The most strange map is Limsa Lominsa, from my memory (i played last year a little), after it's okey
Limsa is a bit confusing at first until you get used to it
Gw2 is 2010
Gridania is the easiest
I can't seem to unlock bozjan I've done the msq and raids but still nadda
Imagine thinking that you could take on 30 different quests and assume 'an arrow' could accomodate that.
You choose the one to track and voila
@hallow hare The only weird map was limsa for me, when i played last year. But nothing compared to the 1st time i played Gw2 (they improved after i think)
Just like you know, games
Or... or... hear me out. You learn how to use a map, and see that if something is to your east, you go east.
you can't activate the endwalker code yet
The collectors edition isn't out yet
the endwalker code itself can only be applied after release
The game isn't designed around handling only one quest ever
right now its just the pre-order code that can be used
Hence my question is there any tips@for handling the map? Tought this was the help channel not you are the o muno-me with problem get over it channel
https://youtu.be/ZX9plwzishQ how is the person in the video able to see damage type taken and why is there a bar during cast to tell when they can slidecast? What kind of cheat plugin is this?
I think I'm done memeing these fights maybe I'll do some more if I can be bothered tho

The thing is, the five quests that are prioritized will show up as icons on the outside of your minimap if you're not in range of them. You get an arrow showing your facing and a wide angle for your camera facing. If you want a specific quest not showing up as your top five--you can go into your journal and select a quest to force it to be prioritized. The function you want is there.
First they don’t show u this function. I found it after over 30 minutes of trial and error with a menu that has more then 50 diferent sub menus
And even using that I still can’t understand where I have to go now
You click the quests, they say where to go, you go to it
That orange arrow is that 'direction arrow' you asked for.
how long does 3000 wolf marks take to farm?
I’m doi t it right now
one Frontline daily challenge + one normal PVP queue, give or take
So like, 30 minutes or so
where might i join this frontline daily challenge?
Thank you. That’s what I was asking for. Now how do I get an orange arrow
in roulettes at the very bottom
Be in the zone for the quest
How does bozja priority deployment work? Does it need to be bought before a CE sppears, does it persist throughout other instances?
I died
Persists for the instance
It shows you the zone the quest is if you quick the quest
you need to do the quest "Like Civilized Men and Women" at your grand company HQ to unlock frontlines, after that. it'll be at the bottom of the roulette list @humble epoch
Then you can zoom into the map
You’re looking at overall la noscea, you need to click further
so wasted if you leave. mkay.
If I accidentally got rid of my brand new ring, where can I get it again?
Thank you!
redo the final hall of novice exercise @leaden ginkgo
Do the halls of the novice again
The cluster one lasts an hour
The map is showing you right now you're in the wrong zone--so you need to go to that zone. You can't get arrows to a place that's not in the zone you're in.
Okay thank you.
and does it function if I purchase it after a CE appears, but before I sign up?
Now, you can see on that selfsame map there's an aetheryte right by there, teleport to that aetheryte and there you go.
As long as you have it then it should apply
Remember party priority is the lowest priority in the group
Is white scrips gear enough to craft hades augmented weapons?
So if 7 people have priority and 1 doesn't, no one in the group has priority
yeah i don't intend to be in a party, just waiting for duel CEs
