should be able to yes
Alrighty
just need to keep in mind you have to be specialist to be able to craft them
Stil clueless but thank you at least I know that if I get I. The zone there’s an arrow
Also the desynthesis already cost me 500k so I'm gonna pause it for now
Yes
Can I get that gear in 1 week like with yellow scrips gear? Or would it take more
I mean 12 turn ins
Aw, and I heard it's not shared between the crafters
there's 3 sets of white scrip gear
welcome to crafting, aka some player's endgame
You want Landsaint gear
the current highest set is universal, so its shared between them
Ilvl500
Don't bother with the other sets they're old
I think its under White Crafters scrips lv80 (II)
And how long would it take to get it?
I got all iLvl 350 yellow scrips gear in just the 12 turn ins, would that be enough too for white scrips?
with custom deliveries, two weeks?
Hmm I see
I shall wait then, got a lot on my mind so it's nice to be able to kinda passive grind it
I would do both regular collectables and custom deliveries
crafting is hard af ngl
Yep it is 😦
I can get white scrips from any custom delivery person as long as I'm lvl 80?
Saving gil 😛
Ah ok
One of the reason I want to level my crafters lol, to make gil
... didn't you just spend it on desynth?
Well I didn't think 500k would only get me half way
what the fastest way to get raw emotions?
I didn't see it was 500k until I decided to stop 👀
Or BLU lv70 dunegons
BLU?
How many classes can you level up easily during your levelling phase ? (MSQ + side quests)
Blue Mage
3 max
Actually umm
Thinking about it, would asking a friend to craft me Aesthete gear HQ be less than 400k?
if you do dailies, and do msq, 2 is comfortable, 3 might be an issue on a non-preferred world
you still have road to 70?
If I buy the ew standard edtion can I upgrade to digital collector's edtion later?
ye should be able to
Yes
@modest igloo I'm on a preferred server, i took paladin for tank atm, and i'll prob go ninja as dps. I don't know if i'll level up a mage/healer because i'm trying to level up crafting jobs too, but would be nice if i can ^^
Does the road to 70 buff affect potd exp at the end of clearing a run?
if you own ShB you can also pick up the expac classes at lvl 50 and 60
where am i able to purchase my own ffxiv rooms?
Including leves and quests?
Yes
Does it also stack with the guild exp buff or the grand company exp books?
housing districts have apartments you can buy for 500k
Yes

ALL xp is doubled
Yep
If i buy a room at my free company, what happens if i leave/get kicked?
i better start leveling stuff before i lose the buff
it gets destroyed, and i think you lose all the stuff iirc
How often do they swap preferred realms?
!faq serverlock
Standard, Preferred, and New Servers will dynamically open and close themselves from newly created characters depending on how many players are online. To ensure you're able to make a new character on your server try waiting or doing so at a less active time of day.
Congested Servers will not unlock for new players or transfers until Square Enix removes the Congested Status.
yeah its hit and miss
Does the server have a limit of 10 people
should be close to prime time now
I have pressed refresh every 3 minutes for 2 hours
so ya might have to wait a while
On weekends during primetime
Best time is late at night when people aren't on
Or early in the morning
Just not in the middle of a friday/saturday/sunday afternoon as the schools let out
alright so. where do i download ffxiv now that i've bought the PC edition? (not steam, btw.) heavily lost
!faq altlvlguide
!faq download
Does the 30 day free trial that comes from purchasing complete edition start immediately or is it a code? The sale makes me want to buy it now but I was hoping to finish a game before starting.
Either link
pre-order endwalker, do hall of novice, get recruited as a friend, keep a FC exp boost active, eat food
we have a faq bc people need the help, there's a lot of stuff
I really wonder why FFXIV website don't have a friendly link to the download page.
Almost everytime I had to google it
Heya! how often do preferred worlds rotate? My friends are playing on Light Zodiark and it was preferred last week, so not sure if I should wait or level on another server to get that "Road to 70" buff
how do i gain the raod to 60 buff?
Make a character on a preferred server
if i transfer realm do i lose FC as well?
Yes you have to leave the fc
just going to note, that transfering doesn't give you the road to 70 buff
it is only for newly created characters on that world
ah i see
That's unfortunate
So basically the earring, friendship circlet and food is the main % xp increase buffs ?
And fc buff
Hey, is there a way to friend other players in the same data center but not the same server? I Googled and I'm getting mixed answers
Visit their server
That's one of the answers I saw, so I'ma try to convince my friend that we should try that. XD
Basically ignore anything older July 2019 when looking for information
Roger that
Do you think cryptlurker armor from Eulmore will cost poetics in 6.0? Or allegory maybe
What's the difference between high quality glamour and normal quality glamour? https://i.imgur.com/MhdDDbQ.png
visually they look the same
only difference is the stats
High quality changes stats. No difference in glamour
oh ok
It will cost poetics in endwalker... And probably be changed to sell the Augmented version
Basically everything changes to poetics when the expansion hits
I'm asking because I want it for glamour for freshly created alt. So I guess no point rushing the game for it right now
Iirc Allegory will be converted to poetics at 1:4 ratio, and revelation at a 1:2 ratio
If you had tomes left over
I better wait for my gf to start playing, so together we level up. Farming 3k poetics is nothing hard anyway
Will we know reaper's actions before the release or will it be a surprise, I just cant remember how it worked with dancer and gunbreaker
Yes, cause of the media tour
theyll most likely show a few at the media tour along with other job actions
My launcher is missing the login info. Anyone know how to fix this?
EDIT: I looked away for a couple minutes and it came back
Media tour let's content creators and journalists go and get a hands on with the game
And people take screenshots and videos
We had (preliminary)guides for dancer and gunbreaker made before the expansion even hit
Cause people shared the tooltips
And potencies
i can buy the story skip for realm reborn after i finished the last quest of lvl 50? just to skip the all pre-dlc that give 5k exp?
maybe whatever drive its on is really slow
Where can i buy an apartment?
At the apartment buildings in the housing wards
If it's your first playthrough everyone here is going to highly advise that you don't do this
Just go to the lobby and talk to the guy inside when you get there
dont skip it if you care about the story, its essential story content. but if you dont, then yes it would just boot you to heavensward
Do you clean quickly endgame of FF14 ? If you are not into housing ect
does SE ban players who buy items (not accounts) from third parties? or t hey ban the sellers?
ty, just wanted to know tnx!
depends how good your group is, savage and ultimate content can take a long time in prog
hey, does unreal boss shop changes each time a boss change ? So the mounts/minions the npc sells are limited or the shop will just get bigger and bigger ?
liek what if people gift me a key for some FF14 thing they got from 3rd party stie
Keys are dangerous. If it’s a stolen credit card and there is a charge back, that account will be gone
that's kinda harsh
no its not
they should go after sellers
what items could buy through a key ? I mean keys are only main game, expacs and playtime
nots ure about buyers
Sounds about right
Yeah that’s just how gaming companies work
mog station stuff
i wish they would just go after sellers since they seem to sellw with impunity
they are the real rpboelm
how does whm contribute in bozjan fates?
they cant do shit about the sellers in a lot of cases
Yeah they do go after sellers if they can
and if they lowered MOG store pr ices then people wouldn't go for 50% off third party sellers
makes little sense to me this greed
does faux commander change items in his shop each time they unreal boss is changed ? Or rewards just cumulates ?
Ok now you’re just trolling
same, stuff might get added but not removed
ok thx so I can skip it and get in later and get all mounts
and thats only the current tier, you can also sync down to old level caps and do sb/hw/arr savage raids and ex trials (most people run them unsynced now but synced is good fun too if youre interested in that kind of thing)
and theres blue mage, which you can do old raids with as well. basically a whole other dimension of side content
I hesitate between Wow TBC and FF14 (classes of FF14 seem all very 'unique') but it seems it's a solo game during +100hours.
There is no global chat, you need group only to dungeons ect. So you are pretty much alone
And i watched some streams, and except glamours ect, it seems they often spam the same content (like diamond weapon ect)

is mount collecting a thing in ff14? or is there anything else similar to that?
I want a casual game, FF14 seems a bit more casual, but in the same time require lots of grinding if you want to complete it (skins/jobs ect)
yes
Well for endgame there are quite a lot of content, it’s just that whenever you are farming something you spam the same thing all day long
Nah, not much grinding is needed if you don’t go into any of the end game stuff
you can spam endgame content to farm weapons/gear/mount/glam but you also can do craft/gather and sell it, also just chill in cities etc.
Housing and glamour is endgame stuff in this case
nothing less than wow
Does the Endwalker bundle come with 30 days of playtime?
Casual Glamour is also quite easy to get
do you know how to start out? is it like accesible in endgame, or does it not matter?
Hey guys, I'm a bit confused by the whole 'roles and item level restrictions are lifted for parties meeting minimum size requirements.' message. Do they mean players who enter dungeons manually to possibly solo don't get synced?
It’s recommended to start after you finish all MSQ.
Then it’s farming Extreme Trails to grab mounts
so is this like a drop chance on bosses? or how does it work?
Yes
Okay, so by 'minimum size' they mean 1
I am btw playing a lot of the msq already they are a lot of fun and the story is so well amde
no
Yeah, if you enter the instance manually without queuing with duty finder, you can do content unsynced if you want
@ripe hound Grinding for endgame stuff isn't a big problem, Burning crusade is like that too. You can take your time but you'll be behind.
But crafting jobs require grind, skins too. Not a big problem.
But i'm just afraid to be alone without any "multiplayer experience : chat ect" except dungeons.
And except farming some good skins, i'm afraid i will just have to spam endgame dungeon (no trash so only the same boss again and again)
this is talking about if you go in with a full premade group, you do not have to meet the min requirements for it
So full premade groups don't sync?
for instance for dungeons, if you're a full 4 man party you don't have to adhere to the required party composition or ilvl requirements
you could go in with 4 tanks, etc
if you're queueing normally, yes you will still level/item level sync
OH I see, premade instead of queuing gives you the option to go not synced and not having to fill every role, I see AND remember now
Hmm, I do find it a bit hard to explain. But in general, at end game, there are a lot of stuff to socialize on.
Like join a Free Company (Guild) and go hardcore crafting big projects with them, do dungeons with roulettes and fight trash mobs, etc.
like for example eden's promise: umbra (savage) has an ilvl requirement of 500 to enter, and normally need 2 tanks, 2 healers and 4 dps
if its a full group, you can go in with whatever composition and ilvl
unsync is not in relation to this at all
if you want to do an instance without being level sync'd down, you use the undersized party option
@ripe hound And during the 100-150 hours (or more because i'll take my time) of MSQ ?
I'm pretty sure, i'll try endgame of FF14, but i'm wondering if it's more worth it to do the beginning of Burning Crusade for the "leveling with all the server experience"
I remember that option now. I don't see it on my Duty Finder menu though, but maybe I have to select it elsewhere
Undersized Party can be selected through the gear symbol in the top left on the DF menu
In your duty finder window select the ⚙️ icon on the top left to open up the duty finder settings window.
Inside that window select the setting undersized party before confirming and entering the instances of your choice. NOTE: UNSYNC-ING AN INSTANCE WILL FORFEIT ALL OF YOUR EXP AND COMPLETION REWARDS. Poetics from a first time completion bonus and loots chests remain the same and will not be lost. You may not queue for daily roulettes using this method.
Yeah, it’s a bit hard to say. The first 150-300 hours of MSQ is mostly focused on “enjoying the story”.
There are some dungeons to run, some bosses to fight, and those do require multiplayer.
But other than that, there isn’t really anything hard that require coordination with people, so it’s just 150-300 hours of MSQ.
And one more thing reeeal quick like. If my ilevel on this character is 260 and the avg ilevel for this instance is 180 will it sync my ilevel to 180?
I mean for queuing not the unsyncing I mentioned
Depends. If it doesn’t say so it won’t.
180
Aetherochemical Research Facility?
The “average ilv requirement” means the ilv you need to enter
Antitower
They only ilvl sync if they have the icon next to them
@ripe hound Okey... Thanks for answers, it's hard to chose ahah :p
I don't believe Antitower is a synced dungeon
I remember the icon now from the 50 ARR dungeons
Yeah, I kind of wish there is a system in place to have a player experience how FFxiv endgame feels like, then go back and play FFxiv from the beginning to experience the story.
But currently it seems impossible unless you resort to buying accounts... which we do not recommend.
We don't recommend it because it violates ToS
Huh. I checked the wiki for Antitower and it sound tricky, but with this major ilevel difference it'll be pretty easy...
And is grounds for a permanent ban
Yeah, we don’t recommend it and don’t get too attached to that account
Antitower is considered one of the easiest level 60 dungeons.
The average run tends to be in the 10-12 minute range
But but....the transforming! D:
Is Antitower the one where you need to do the weird door puzzle in the end?
Antitower is the one with the dolls at the end
Cool, then safe
What are residential wards? are they like the same place but phased differently?
Housing neighborhoods, basically.
Every ward has the same layout as all of the others in that district.
Also, 12 minutes?! I've been putting off queueing cuz I haven't had the time to put aside for this, but if it's not even a half hour then I feel silly for waiting
So i may just be dumb but i cant find my atma quest for gae bolg. I have my zenith and all of the Atma's but i cant find the quest for it anywhere.
any ideas?
Yeah, Antitower runs are fast
I have yet to encounter any dungeon that takes longer than like at most 20 minutes
are disciplines of hand/land easy to level up
@ripe hound
I love to unlock things through MSQ ect.
But you are blocked behind it till endgame. And most of players will play it solo. I would love a global chat like /world in Wow. It would make the server more "alive"
But in the opposite, in Wow TBC, you need to play with others, but then you are stuck with your character because it's a pain in the ass to level up a character, it's why it's hard to chose. Not fun to only play ONE class as a casual
Yes. Very.
Alrr
where can I find the POTD/HOH/Deep Dungeon guide?
And ofc, they broke the game with their powerleveling and the fact that you can buy your gear when you do a raid...
Don't we have a faq for that?
Also there is a “world chat” as in Novice Network.
You can join it and use it until... finishing Stormblood?
!faq potd
Effective Levelling Method
The commonly accepted method for levelling in POTD is to start at floor 51 and clear to 60, then reset the save and start back at floor 51, though if you don’t have floor 51 unlocked, 1-10 is an acceptable alternative.
For HoH the principle is the same, instead you’ll be running floors 21-30 instead.
😄
A Mentor asking a question? Heresy
It happens sometimes
that's just the FFXIV site
im looking for the floor 100+ guide
@ripe hound Yeah but you need to be invited in it ^^
Ohh. Hmm. We don't pull that one out that often.
You have to finish Stormblood and reach 168 hours of in-game playtime
Oh no, just find a random mentor and get in, it’s pretty easy
This is the first time where I see 2 different msq's, is this suppossed to happen?
yes
oh okay thanks
I just encountered that, you should just accept both
Also question have anyone heard of on any server where it’s hard for a new player to get into NN?
the game will warn you if there's multiple paths and if you have to pick one
It'll be faster than going back to get the other
it doesn't change anything storywise?
no
iirc you have to do the other after the first one
sometimes there are minor dialogue changes depending on which path you follow first
so might as well take both and finish both
All it takes is a /say in Limsa
Yeah I don’t think I ever heard of NN being full before
@ripe hound Well thanks for answers, i'll decide later. It will be probably FF14, it's more chill, you can stop more or less when you want and you have all QoL of new MMO
Yeah, FF14 is designed with players who can’t play all the time in mind.
As in, you can jump back in every 2 years to do the expansion if you want lol
FFXIV imo is more based around baiting ff players into playing mmo's
it certainly worked on me
In Bozja, which Fragments are beneficial to which role? Trying to figure out how to spend my Bozja crystals.
most hardcore ff players playing the game also love the game a lot
outdated sheet, it lacks the new fragments of 5.55
but otherwise accurate
Thanks for this
What made me want to test FF14 till end game is the fact that you can level up all jobs in one character, all jobs feel unique, the fact that you unlock lots of things and that through that the story inside dungeons ect change... I love that
same tbh
i didn't think i'd be an endgame raider when i started the game
and now i am
what are the end game raids?
Currently Eden promise savage
coils of bahamut, alexander, omega, and eden
Wait though, I'm still not understanding which fragments I should be prioritizing for each role.
Anything that increases your damage
Like for example I'm at the quartermaster and want to spend my Bozja crystals, as NIN. Which Forgotten Fragments should I be getting? Or can I only get essences from drops? And skills from just Fragments?
The ones from clusters are primarily Delerum fragments
Aside from Caution/preparation
What each fragment from Bsf has
Dps generally have Skirmisher then Banner of Noble ends and Font of Power from bojzan fragments
hi i'd just like to say I discovered this isn't the case
Wut
i was trying to do the duel
and i failed because i couldn't change my actions
in the waiting area
ok so I know if you buy the collectors editon on steam it comes with shadowbringers and stormblood. But what would happen if I bought the endwalker collectors edition right now? Would I unlock the previous expansions immediately?
Anyone have a good current list of macro icons that exist? I've found a few but they're from 4 years ago
I was changing mine earlier
you wouldn't get the other expacs now
okay thanks
Guys, if i want to Sub as a Free trial, do i need to buy the base game??
I'm trying to receive a recruitment code from my friend, but he says he doesn't see the Recruit a Friend page on the Mog Station. Are we missing something?
I think he needs to go to "Your Account" section
To unlock mentor roulette, do I need the Yojimbo trial unlocked?
I'll try that
yes @gritty oracle
what's best, fc apartnemnt or normal apartment?
You can have both, but if you leave your FC (or get kicked out) you'll lose the FC Apartment.
what rank do i need to be to buy a apartment
Yes
Have fun with hildi
Which ones are the beefiest tanks? Although I assume all of them are beefy enough for all content
Depends on your definition
Most survivability
Paladins block and sheltron give it good consistent mitigation
Warrior has the best self recovery without disturbing dps
DRK has the single best mitigation skill in the game
Gnb has the most defensive cooldown iirc
drk has best mitigation because of tbn, war has big self heals/sustain, pld can self cast heals if healers die
Where can i find a list of all the available mounts i can get?
imo drk feels the beefiest due to tbn, which lets you eat busters for breakfast and slap the boss back for hitting you with an edge of shadow, but im biased bc its my favorite tank
basically all of them are beefy to various degrees and in different ways
guys anyway to unlink my square enix account on my ps4
war feels the most enduring imo because it can just heal itself after getting bonked
Even if all are viable since for example gnb has slightly more damage I assume he must be slighly squishier
yeah gnb is higher dps but squishier. though honestly i feel more squishy main tanking as pld than gnb
How so?
trough se support probably
idk, feels better as an off tank for me, i think its because it has NO self healing or regen outside of clemency
Paladin used to be super sturdy
like gnb has a tiny bit of healing with brutal shell and aurora
war is the self healer
drk has abyssal drain and 3rd combo hit (cant remember name)
Well paladin can heal team and give buffs and take damage for them, so is indeed a perfect off tank
pld mitigation is very consistent but its highs arent as high as the other tanks
So since im lazy af i was wondering which job has the least skills per minute rn?
Paladin suffer a dps loss to heal, so they don't heal while attacking.
probably warrior
Thats my first thought
lowest cpm is actually white mage apparently
Hmm thats kinda odd
They should be simmilar, they all have a main rotation
yeah war/whm both have the less thinking and less buttons advantage
blm has low buttons but big think when moving
However whm can't weave as much
I don't understand how FF14 has less grind than Wow. Many things are not required for endgame i suppose, but if you don't do it you miss a part of the game.
But with the MSQ to finish + the grind of crafting jobs + alt job if you want it, then you begin endgame, and if you want to "finish it" you need to grind your legendary weapon
Why wouldn't whm be able to weave as much?
doesnt have as many instant casts outside of its big instant cast buff window, i think
less consistent
blm has more movement tools
bozja is like a secondary endgame if you are talking about that
Yeah scholar for example doesnt need to stop to heal
even then, it's not more or less than the other healers
Its buff window is also not match with other buff windows iirc
and you don't have to do any crafting jobs
the first endgame where most people go for is just doing savage raids where you get pretty much easy loot there, which is the top ilvl.
Any gold saucer guides that anyone know of?
though, when starting off now, yeah then it might be a bit difficult to do endgame like savage than starting off when it first released.
@alpine shadow No no, i mean the whole game. On the net i saw that FF14 has less "grind" than Wow for example.
If you miss 50% of the game, it's right, but you have still MSQ, crafting jobs (takes a huge amount of time + repetitive), i heard that you need to spam bosses again and again, you grind legendary weapons + cosmetics + housing.
I know that you can just do MSQ and then do endgame, but you miss 50% of the game. The grind is the same as wow no ?
How about all previous expansions endgame weapons and gear?
previous endgame gear is obsulete
But, fasion fantasy
pure glam now
outside of glamour at least
Does Menphina's earring work in Zadnor?
but still, it being previous endgame gear also means it is both easier to obtain (you are a higher level now) and it is unlocked
yes\
so you can run it as many times as you want
as opposed to current endgame which is harder and involves some sort of weekly loot lock
Awesome
No level sync?
the thing to spam bosses are just relic grind, you only really want to do the lvl80 grind, not previous if you want to do less grind.
you can run old stuff unsynced
is there a guide anywhere for each zone level? I'm leveling a DPS for the first time and usually I do healer and queu roulettes/duties but dps is pretty slow..What should I be doin ?
Or wait for endwalker so all endgame gear gets obsolete
the moment endwalker releases all of the current endgame gear becomes (kind of) obsolete statwise, yes
it will still offer a nice boost in the early level range of EW (80-85ish)
it definetly makes things easier
I'm not sure about guide, but there is this for minicactpot https://super-aardvark.github.io/yuryu/
Yeah ofc, but you have the options to not tryhard in all MMOs.
But if you just level one job, without any alt, any crafting job. If you don't farm some skins ect. You miss a huge part of the game. It's not bad ofc, but the game has "grind" too like other MMOs
Why level an alt though.
Sure it does, I think anyone who says ff14 has no grind would be wrong. But yeah, any grind except the msq grind (which I personally struggle to call it that) is optional
You can use fantasia and migrate to another server
Considering that the msq is the majority of the game
I assume they refer to alt jobs
you don't really grind levels like bdo atleast
I wanted to try FF14 because i saw it has less "grind" than Wow. But after some hours, you are still hype by many things, you want to test jobs, level up crafting jobs, unlock all things you can. It's more or less like Wow except that you have the possibility to just do endgame
if you compare wow endgame to ff14 endgame then ff14 still has less grind though
Ff14 is less grind because you can do everything with just one character
For comparison, in my head i have Wow classic
But of course, gotta get through msq first
but remember that there really is no reason to go through the msq more than once
unless you wanna do ng+ or something
Btw what is ng+ and what do you get?
new game +, redo story with your current character
It's just a way to replay certain questchains
no rewards whatsoever
Just doing it again for the fun of it
Can you go back to previous late game quests?
yes, in story chapters
sure, I think all old raids are in there by now
I mean if you start ng+ and then endwalker releases and you are still miles away
no, ng+ is a separate mode
Oh ok
ng+ does not start from lvl 1 again mind you
you specifically choose which questline you wanna do again
it moves you to ng+ and you basically cant do anything else while youre in it
For example: You want to play the drk questline again because you need some edge in your life
You can then specifically do that
i want to do that actually 
Classic and FF14 have not the same grind, but it's a little less in FF14, but not that much.
Wow TBC for example, from what i know, you have to grind reputations, and then i takes time to do raid ect
FF14 : they give you the possibility to do all the things on one character. Like levelling crafting jobs take a huge amount of time. MSQ too (but it's a story so it's okey)
MSQ can takes more time than reaching lvl max on Wow ect
Can you choose any quest and play it as much as you want?
not any quest, just a chapter.
it starts at the first quest for that chapter, so you cant choose anything in between
will the kamuy return at some point?
says i can buy them with irregular tomestone
It might get easier to farm in EW
Right now, yes, but when the event is over the only way to get them is via SB extremes
and yeah, presumably with the raised level cap to 90 it will be easier to farm SB extremes solo or in small groups
However we don't now how the stat changes might affect things. So we'll see
Yeah, they've said they want to make sure we can still do our solo farming etc with the stat squish, but they don't know how it will all play out yet. I'd imagine it'll be wonky for the first patch or two before it strikes a balance.
Hello! I am wanting to get into this game but I am not sure whether I want to get it on PC or PS5. Any reasons to go for one or the other (I will say my gaming laptop does get hot but that's about it. It's requirements meet recommended specs AFAIK.)
both are good
Preference
Preference
PS5 is better if your pc sucks
you can also play with any control scheme on all platforms
so uh
but you can play on both
I'm running a GTX 1060 and have a decent laptop. Just wanted to check if it was all PC oriented. The game does have cross play correct?
hey what is the channel for finding people for content ? Im trying to help my mate to clear bahamuth raid but I can't do it alone lol
#recruitment-chaos
!faq housing
Land pricing
not really a channel to recruit ppl like you would in pf though
for that we don't really have one
I wanted to farm gyshal greens to make my Chicago black but don't have an fc or property to farm them. What should I do?
Oh really? Where can I buy them?
Thank you!
whenever an item says "shop selling price: _" it means you can buy it at an npc, which is always cheaper than market board (people sell npc items for profit lol)
Just got my first book of umbra. I can trade them in eulmore for gear right?
Do I get a book from every run or only if I didn't do it weekly yet?
you need more than 1 book to trade for an item
I’ve heard that you need a PHD and 2 sets of arms to play NIN?
false
only 1 book per first clear of the week
until the tier unlocks it will stay this way
So you can get 4 tomes a week
1 book per floor
but they're different
Cause different books for different floors
a book of umbra is not hte same as a book of litany
oh
they trade for different items
book of umbra is for accessories
4 books for a right side acc and 6 for a belt
all of them give books
So I can run e1s and get a book?
For e1s
^
They're all different
You cant use them for current tier equips
yes each clear of e1s will give oyu a book now since its unlocked
I see
They drop their respective floor books that are only from their floor
go to eulmore and you cna go see what each book trades for
Alright, so right now only my armor and earing are 530 and I cleared e9s for the week
Do I go e10 then 11 then 12?
Yes, in order
and then I can do 1 to 8 in whichever order I want?
well, those gears are useless to you
If you really want old gear yes
Each tier is separate and drops different ilvl gear
I mean you hit your revelations weekly cap by what? 4 roulettes a week? So yeah it takes time but it's also low effort
1 expert over 5 days bare minimum
right, 5 not 4
3 hunt trains 1 expert
basically just over an hour and a half of time per week to cap 450

Yes you must use steam
if you didn't download it on steam, yes
I have been trying since
2pm
And now its 7
Why the fuck does marlboro not allow new accounts

Standard, Preferred, and New Servers will dynamically open and close themselves from newly created characters depending on how many players are online. To ensure you're able to make a new character on your server try waiting or doing so at a less active time of day.
Congested Servers will not unlock for new players or transfers until Square Enix removes the Congested Status.
Question: how do I stop staring at my hotbars?
It has been 5 hours
practice
its the middle of prime time when most people are logged in
you were told before to try late at night/early morning
put your ass in front of a dummy and practice your rotation
at some point it's just gonna become muscle memory so only a few glances at your hotbar are necessary
to check cd or buff timers or whatever
And what if your rotation has some RNG in it
that complicates it of course but practice still helps a lot
Also, there's that whole "I haven't internalized the GCD" yet, despite reaching 60
trains you to pay attention to both the fight and your hotbar, if that makes sense
what job are you having trouble with?
It's a problem I have with every job. The two I've been playing the most are GNB and RDM. I started as WAR, though.
Just have your procs on a separate, floating hotbar close to visible view
you stop looking at hotbars when you just play the same job after a while
like ive been playing MCH for 6 months, when i started i was garbage
now im a lot better
Yeah, I recommend putting Verstone and Verfire some place visible so you immediately notice
those are the only 2 rng skills you have after all
Hey, is now a good time to start playing? like from 0
Staring at your hotbars isn't a terrible thing either, its just that you have to mentally zoom out a bit so that its not the only thing you stare at
always a good time
Increase the size of the buff text as well
sure, game's popular, new expansion on the horizon
go nuts
So that you can see the "+verstone/verfire ready" buff
i was gonna try a few months ago but people said to wait for whatever patch
latest patch dropped this week
not gonna get any other major patch until the new expansion comes out anyway
anyone else getting this?
But you would be able to catch up to the latest story up to just before next expansion now
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
Doesn't matter
unless you wanna rp or have language preferences
check the very last bit of the kupo post
but even then, lots of things happen cross server
Did I miss the Moonfaire for the polar bear mount
i just want one populated
all of them are fairly populated
Not exactly, but it's not loading all the elements for me, either.
If you're going eu or jp just make sure to turn on all languages in the duty finder settings
@wooden glen kk, thanks. least i know it's not on my end
there's no such thing as a low pop server these days tbh
no, moonfire is in august
@mental garnet server is being weird ingame too so it might be a server issue
does anyone know why the launcher isn't showing login fields?
What expansion for this relic weapon?
Hello
oh, happening to multiple people, I see
Yup, happen to me as well. It's gotta be a server issue.
I just bought the steam pack ****
"this" relic weapon? All of the expansions have relic weapons
There, just got it back.
how can i register the shadowbringer
the login loaded after a couple of minutes
basically gotta wait much longer but it'll appear
This expansion relic is the resistance weapons with Bojza
Well then I dunno which kind my fc is talking about.
i tried it on mog station but it says the code is invalid pls help me
probably the newest one, which is done in save the queen (bozja/zadnor) content in shadowbringers
Yeah, I got the fields eventually
Of course. They’re always doing endgame stuff
older relic weapons are just for glam now, a lot of them are very pretty so people wil lgrind for thsoe as well
but newest relic step just came out so it is most likely that one
whats the difference between this
and this
cause one has a waiting list
oh makes sense
people are installing FF with discs still?
yeah
that would be best version to buy right? all expansions + 30 days
yep
tyty
if you want to save money and try the game before buying, do that
i've tried
ok
understandable
Anyone know where I can see a gallery of the ilvl 100 weathered weapons from ARR?
the ones you used to buy with unidentified allagan tomestones
in what area should i farm fates for vexatious memories of the dying?
guys, if i have the steam version, should i sub thro Steam or Thro Mog station?
Mogstation handles all of it
You can pay via steam wallet as an option
But you go through mogstation
Azim steppe is the popular choice
yup
which sound setting control the like, sound when you mouse over something and it makes that little... click noise or something? can't describe it.
i wanna turn that sound down it gives me headaches
nevermind found it
ok so I bought the game and when I downloaded it it said it was still the free trial. I restarted and now there is another download called "ex2". What is this?
How do I unlock the weekly bozjan quests?
...dalriada
Dali llama
expansion 2, stormblood
ok thank you
there will be an ex3 download after that too, just fyi
When making a macro that targets a specific slot of the party list are you 1 or does the targeting part not include you so say "/ac"dragon sight " <1>" would that target you or the first member on the list who isn't you
1 is always you
Cool thanks
What's the fastest way to break off a cast, like if you're targeting someone and they die so you need to re-target?
what does BiS mean?
best in slot
huh
Great, thank you!
The best/strongest item that can fit in that gear slot.
So if I wanted to gift someone FFXIV not on steam, I'd just give them codes right
How do I farm gil? I spent a lot on A weapon for Glamour and now I don't know how to get more
Various ways, you got a level 80 culinarian?
no I don't Have any Crafters or gatherers
Complete the challenge log, do daily roulettes as the role in need, run zonureskin treasure maps in party finder.
Then farm Stormblood ex trials
thats the only viable way to make gill isn't it
No.
okay
Get the mats
sell em
Without crafters to desynth weapons it'll be a little hard
but if you're lucky
you can get them via rolling on them
There is no "best" way
you can also get quick gil by doing wondrous tails every week
There are various ways, each works for some people
I'm getting a lot of ways and don't really know what any of them mean
Guess I'll be poor
you get gil passively by just doing duties
most of my gil income is from leveling alt jobs lol running dungeons 8 trillion times is gonna give you at least a few hundred thousand
hi is there a way to smart cast ground abilities?
like the ninja teleport, instead of point and click, so i can make it instant
I'll just run the dungeons
you can make a mouseover macro to teleport to party members, it works (kinda) (a little bit)
for damage ones or bubbles you usually want to have one macro for placing it under you and one for under the target
it's a ground target, i want to just point at the location and release the skill button , instead of double press
yes i know, thats not a thing
You can't do it where the mouse is
:/
macros have to have a target
so nothing in the settings for it?
No
nope you have to click
thanks
like i have this for ast, so i can give a card to whoever i mouse over (last 2 lines are if i want to give it to myself, so i dont have to mouse over myself)
but im not quite sure if ground targets will work with <mo>
they do work with <t> though
they do not
well
i mean they do technically work with mo, but you have to mouseover a target for them
yeah thats what i meant, to jump to a party member
not ideal but its easier than clicking if you need to get out of an aoe quick (assuming someone dodged it already)
like may as well just make a target/party list macro instead
I completed the physical dps ShB artifact gear questline as a DRG, but I want the SAM gear now, how do I do that? He only sells the DRG gear?
Are you lvl 80 on sam?
quick question i just got the orison whm set but it says that i can't use it in any instanced areas - so what's the point of it being such high ilvl and not just glamour only? lmao
It.means you ca t use the COFFER in instanced areas
You can use the gear anywhere
i pre ordered endwalker so i have these 30% bonus exp rings, i equipped the rings but dont get 30% extra xp it seems, how come? i am on a preferred world, do they not stack with the bonus of the road to 70 ?
you have to be lvl 80 to buy the SAM gear from him?
yes...
WHAT
aah ok thx
OKAY NVM LMAO

i went from 140 ilvl to 177 real quick
Yes, ilvl jumps massively at level caps
You can go to 270 when you have access to idyllshire
i keep dying while doing the fates in the azim steppe o.o
aren't they doable in solo?
yes they are
there is no one else around
is there any downside to extracting materia from all of my 100% soulbound items?
except for losing the 100% soulbound
No
not sure, im as samurai and i just get a lot of dmg from all the adds
Spiritbond is pretty much only for extraction
ah alright
you should prooobably be a tank or healer to solo the boss fates
i only knew about extracting as of like 3 months ago and ive been 80 for a year 
Hey I gots a question about the Endwalker Deluxe Collector’s Edition, if anyone happens to know: Since this is the first time I was interested enough to try and get it, do they restock the physical stuff for this at some point, or is it a “once it’s gone, it’s gone” sort of thing?
For the 535 sch relic, I should put sps to 2.32, piety to comfort, and dump the rest into crit > dh, right?
ty!
hi i am very new and need help clearing Navel Hard... please help
If you're Chaos, then the time of day might be to blame. It's 2:25AM here, +-an hour or so for the region
can you que with me if your on?
I'm not online atm. Probably try again later. DPS have long queue times to begin with
Is potd good for exp on classes below 50? I kinda like farming the relic items here in the meanwhile
It's good until 60
Yes, a FC house sounds like a good idea. Depends on how big your friend group is. Regular houses can host only 2 tenants.
in bozja am i able to heal ppl who are not in my party? sorry if dumb question just making sure 😭
*in critical engagements
Yes, if you target them for single target heals
ok ty
Is there any way in-game to see where to find a specific material that drops from an enemy, or do I need to use an external guide?
nothing in-game for that
do the level 60 alliance raids give any exp at all
outside of roulette
hoping to knock out 2 birds with 1 stone for this relic quest
is it possible to go into a dungeon or raid undersized as a blue mage to learn abilities?
yes if you can kill the instance unsync
but the chance is low that you learn the spell
yes, though generally recommended to do them sync as its a 100% learn rate if you do
for 100% chance you have to sync it
ohh i see. thank you!
I am working on a dark knight cecil cosplay, what would be the same color to dye, sahagins dark blue?
is there a market board in mor dhona?
no
is it possible to run the shadowbringers benchmark in direct x9? I have a pretty old comp but just wanted to try playing the trial to see what it's like

Hello friends. I just bought the game on steam. It says I have shadowbringers but does it also have heavensward? It was the sixty dollar version on steam.
hsw is bundled into the trial so yes you have it
Thank you!
the game/free trial comes with HW
and stormblood comes with shadowbringers
Ensure you have it by logging into the mogstation once you've entered the code
Shadowbringers only comes with the stormblood expansion
If you don't have the starter edition registered prior to that
You cannot register shadowbringers to your account
alternatively if you bought the complete edition you're good
Its now 7 hours straight
That malboro is locked
And I can’t create a character
This game has 0 gameplay
It has been 7 hours
Or real early in the morning
It's based on people online
yeah this is literally peak time lol, gotta do it in the dead of the morning/night
Peak time on a weekend no less
So cruise chaser is confirmed from field notes achievement?

Hello, I am currently rank 24 in Zadnor and I am unable to exchange the Field Notes I have for any lockboxes or Other. Currently I have Field Notes on 'Atori', LLofi Part 2, Pagaga, Daguza, and Dabog Part 2. Does anyone know why?
^
Okay thanks!
Is there any reason to pre order the new expansion? Can you play the new class early? Not gonna lie the new class got me to try the game lol
Exp earrings and early access to the expansion on November 19th
Was the drop rate of timeworn artifacts increased?
No
Thank you
ARR's level cap is 60?
the free trial goes to 60
@faint flare Is it recommended to reach level cap before starting the new content.
You have to, cause of the story
Story locks all the content
And the story takes you through all levels
@faint flare So by doing MSQs and other side missions, I'll reach 60 before or during HW, does that sound about right?

If you do anything other than story and class quests you'll definitely overlevel
Gotcha
Which is why there’s all these other jobs for you to level
Are the Large scale levequests better than doing regular ones for the time spent
its more time efficient, but not XP efficient
Does anyone know how many luminious crystals are needed for anima first stage weapon?
6 per element right?
One of each
Just one?
Yes
Perfect thank you
!faq anima
For current
Thank you Vinyl tails
is there a way for us to skip the cutscene for treasure dungeons?
If you are far enough away when the map owner hits the next door, you won't get cutscene locked and then can run to the door as it opens. The owner cannot skip.
oh okay! thanks!
Whats the meld priorities for GNB?
Is warrior a good tank?
SKS to tier, CRIT>DH=DET
!faq meta
Okay. And what stats should I be allocating on my GNB relic weapon?
Crit and DH, and Skill SPeed?
Or Crit and Det, and Skill Speed?
assuming you're at the 2.42 GCD, pump it up with crit, then DET
and healers have piety over DH?
not what the balance says? https://i.imgur.com/2st7vls.png
they were asking for the relic
which only gives 4 options
at least i think i just play MCH lol
I'm trying to gear up and am at 483 now. Stuff I'm reading is telling me to get gear from either doing extreme stuff or do stuff that requires 485, or visit the market board. Anything other than those three that I can do?
Yes, crit, sks, dh, and det - i just followed that meld priority
eden raids 9-12 drop 510 gear @warped roost
And requires 485
tell that to kaelwyrm then thats what they said
the relic does not give direct hit as an option for tanks or healers
it is not a native stat for them
Are HQ items chances Quick Synthesis affected by anything?
they have to meld it
adventurer in need for roulettes should help get the gil you need for ilvl
also, level 80 content gives allegory, which is used for 490 ilvl gear
My three digits of gil are suffering
I accidentally turned my UI off how do I turn it back on
On PC it's scroll lock
thanks
Am I able to put timers on my cool downs rather than just the circle?
So I noted that DR gives comically more mettle now. Is there a cap or condition to this?
not that i recall, but most big cooldowns are 30s, 60s, 90s,120s, etc
Alright.
they increased how much mettle DR gives with 5.55
dancer has skills that do more damage on first enemy, does the mean the closest one or who you're targeting
Thats not what I asked
target
can i not add friends in bozja
if i dont target someone do i lose the first enemy potency
afaik it functions the same as any other mettle source in that the amount give scales with your rank
is there a job you can be that has a pet?
i think that might be contact? thats a good question
So its a good idea to rank up if i have enough rather than just sit on it?
Arcanist
evolves into summoner
no reason to hold off on ranking tbh
there's zero reason to hold off on ranking, because you can't derank
I just don’t want to have to zone in and out all the time
Dungeons
!faq altlvlguide
I just noticed that the Ivallice raids are not showing up in NG+ but I recall finishing it and there's not pending quest in my journal. What am I missing?
the quests in the ship, gotta do those
There's one yellow quest here
not a he but yeah
yep, gotta do it
the alphascape datalogs are not weekly capped right?
haven't been weekly capped for almost 2 years
ok
Okay! Thanks!
how do I know if the area will have fates at my level
buy checking the fates in the area
for 1-50, you can check your hunting log to get an idea of where appropriate level Fates are
^ that too
can the alphascape 4 savage be done blindly? or do i need to watch a guide for that?
Id like to learn more about dancer then what the website says lol
yeah you'll need a guide
!faq jobguide
thats the one im looking at, trying to decide what class I want to start as, as a new player. Both monk and dancer look cool.
ok, so there is a 1-80 guide on yt done by weskabler
watch this vid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U0ytlHXvpDc
New? Got too many skills? Have no idea what anything does because you start at 60? Just hate reading? Try this guide out!
This guide seeks to teach new Dancers how to Dancer properly, without getting too deep into optimization. I'll be showing off and explaining some openers but not delving too much deeper beyond that and general skill usage. E...
ye that one
what do I do once i reach 70
how do I get Manipulation on my Alchemist?
Do I need to worry about making any of this skybuilders stuff?
same as before, but add bozja instead of POTD and HOH
Complete the level 65 alch quest
how do you increase mount speed in zadnor/bozja?
ah, cheers
riding maps at the quartermasters, 25 clusters each
Buy riding maps As with clusters
unless you're leveling crafters, not really
if you are you can buy them for cheap on the MB
Thanks. I just have enough for Zadnor then.

I need to make an Intellectuary and I don't have what I need to make it and I can't find it anywhere
