hi, im new to tanking and would like to ask do u use buffs (like dmg reduc) whenever they are off cd? or do u save them for when there is tankbuster?
no, they're basically like bulletin boards
so what does it mean to join
you basically just get access to a place where you can post messages
oh
!faq communityfinder
if they have a house, can find the house and apply to the fc thru the plaque
or search for someone in the fc to apply thru their profile
you should be rotating tank buffs during trash pulls, generally using them for TBs is correct against bosses
generally what I'm doing is using a 20/30 at the beginning of a trash pull then reprisal as it ends, then the 20/30 I didn't use on the previous pull at the start of the next
with the short cd one thrown in whereever, and arms' length or camo thrown in depending on how decent the group dps is
So uh what level roughly do I get my first mount!
!faq mount
'When can I get my first mount?'
The quest that allows you to use mounts, 'My Little Chocobo' is unlocked by completing the level 20 main story quest 'The Company You Keep'. The quest is located at the Grand Company base you chose and you'll need to buy the Chocobo Issuance from your Grand Company Quartermaster. You can get the 200 needed Grand Company seals by doing the main story quest that comes after 'The Company You Keep'.
'Are there any differences between mounts?'
Besides looks, all mounts are the same speed along with being able to fly. Some mounts allow multiple people to ride at once.
'Can I make my mount faster?'
Zones have one or two ranks of mount speed that increase the ground speed of mounts. The first rank comes from completing specific quests in the main scenario quests, with the second rank coming from Riding Maps which are bought with either Allied Seals, Centurio Seals, or Bicolor Gemstones. Mount Speed Boosts do not increase the flying speed of mounts.
Close!
thank you
another question to y'all. If i buy the european version of this game, I can still play it in canada right ?
global version can play on any datacenter
Guys, on my Gladiator, whats better, Block rate or block strength??
unless you live in china or korea it doesn't matter
doesn't really matter at all
oh.
How do you get abilities on CD to display the number of seconds till it's backup instead of the little circle?
hey, can someone help me. I am not able to select "India" when asked to select a country
display recast times here
character configuration under hotbar
rip
I find the game unplayable if I don't set others to limited, personally
whats the option for that?
how do you get the level 70 blue mage mirage set
can someone help me pls, it's regarding payment
I am gonna buy the complete edition of ffxiv and when I went to the select country option there is no "India"
Maybe there is an Other option?
nope
Thanks
all european countries are mentioned
there's a very good chance india isn't an officially supported country
I dunno whether to use a friend's UK address
mogstation says that it comes under "Europe and other countries"
which I think, but don't quote me on this because I really don't know, people usually use the european site in this case
I dunno what to do tbh, will it affect my ability to play as I am gonna go to canada in 2022 as well
like I am in india and it redirects me to the eu store of square enix
The playing itself won't be an issue
It's the payment processing side that's a bit of a mystery
I mean will it care for my address when asked for payment ?
like I gave my indian adress and say that I am from italy
will it affect anything
also what will happen if I bought the british version of the game and activated the code ?
I think someone else is gonna have to answer this because I live in Europe so it's all very easy to pay for on my end
this is what mogstation tells me
If you buy the British code it'll work when you put it in
then i gotta pay the sub in pounds then or in euros ?
I assume it'll ask in Euros but not sure. Really don't think points since your country isn't specifically UK
does mettle have any uses past hitting rank 25?
Yes.
You spend it to get “valors” which are permanent buffs
Damage/HP up/healing up
valors are basically eureka elemental bonus armor
@sudden dock just be aware you need to buy the base game + shadowbringers if you're on the trial
so basically if I buy the game from USA, UK or Europe store of square enix, the game remains the same and I can activate it on mogstation ?
Not US
US is a different region and not "Europe and Other Regions"
is great britain also a separate region ?
No the UK is part of Europe
It's an indian card but I can purchase international stuff. I remember buying minecraft and american stuff using it
the safest option, if it's possible, is to attach a foreign address to your CC, ie the british friend you mentioned earlier, and use that on the european site to pay for the game
you will have no problem playing on NA servers that way
It will not. I had to do the same as my country was not listed, and I have no issue
square's payment provider can be.. difficult.. for some people
???
Playing on NA wouldn't be an issue anyway
that was my point
just in case he thought playing on na would be a problem if he bought from EU
if you're never paid for ffxiv before complete edition is the play yeah
that was another doubt, thanks
and then you're done until endwalker
do retainer gear stats mater (gathering,CP,str) for venture ? or just gear level will do ?
there's breakpoints for gatherer
but for combat retainer it's just ilvl
If you get the complete edition that should include the base game + shadowbringers
is there anywhere i can see that breakpoint ?
What lvl does blue mage start as
oh thanks
Hey guys, downloading the game for the first time since 2014. Any advice you could give me such as, data centres and things for Australians
Welp definitely not leveling blue mage
AUS people usually play on the tonberry and kujata worlds
We can tell you that a Oceania data center is in the pipeline
so im level 70 mining and for some reason I dont have Scour or the following abilities afterwards? I'm starting Stormblood mining quests and kinda at a lost.
@gaunt grail blue mage functions entirely differently from the normal leveling system
Blue Mage gain good exp from killing open world enemies
You can tag a lvl 70 mob, have your friend (not in the same party) kill it for you and lvl up 20 times instantly
i did potrd 51-100 and got zero timeworn artifacts, do i have to do it on my class, ith the book?
Oooo
You might want scholar or ast shields to survive the pulling tho 😂
I survived it as a lancer
I've boosted ppl to 50 in like 10 minutes on blue mage
You can hit cap in well less than an hour. Just find someone who also wants to lvl blue mage and do it for each other 😂
Hmm will do that then
Two hours of works to max your BLU is very good tbh
Oh right word of warning, previously at least it was lvl (cap-1) mobs that gave the most exp. I haven't tested if that still applies so kill a lvl 69 and a lvl 70 mob to make sure which is better
About how long would Galatyn Anemos take to get starting now?
From what I can recall anemos step is not that hard if you get a fate train going
But someone better versed in eureka would know better
Ok thanks!
so im level 70 mining and for some reason I dont have Scour or the following abilities afterwards? I'm starting Stormblood mining quests and kinda at a lost.
I can't remember off the top of my head but they may be job quest unlocks?
Those are the collectable gathering actions if I remember correctly. Those only appear in a separate interface when you’re gathering an item as a collectable.
Oh wait if they're collectible then you'd have to unlock the collectible system first, right?
Correct. Which is unlocked in Ishgard. Quest name is Inscrutable Tastes I believe?
Devotion requires both parties to have the platinum plan wristlet yes.
oof
Asking for a friend. Who is the craziest controller healer?
Trying to convince the dude to convert to ff ^^
Which job? Probably AST. Having to select where cards go on controller requires several extra button presses.
Oh I'm not too sure. There aren't many streamers I'm aware of who main healer 😅
I don’t really see how SCH is worse on controller than AST from personal experience.
What level is required to use Master Weaver III recipe?
At what level can we use limit breaks?
limit breaks are granted according to your party size
you get 2 bars in a Light Party (4 people)
you get 3 bars in a Full Party (8 people)
your first 4 man content where you get to charge the LB bar to actually use it is the first dungeon at lvl 15
Right. We got the bar full, but no one LB'd 😦
Generally melee use it for bosses. Casters or ranged physical sometimes use it on super large pulls if possible. There are a few mechanics in harder content in which tanks are required to LB if the party is to survive. Healer LB is reserved solely for LB3 as a hail mary if things go south. As for when to use it on bosses, use when you have a large enough opening to do so.
unfortunate. you can press it yourself if you want after the final boss if nobody used it.
Level 60 to use master books 3 and 4. 70 for 5 and 6. 80 for 7 and 8.
ty
Oh wait. I didn't have it in my bar at the time 🤣
Added it
you need to get 30 of each and submit them to zlatan for your relic

Anyone have more information on the relic armor
Trying to find resources
But can only find information on the weapons
What do you mean by relic armour?
There are three lots of armour sets in Bozja content: Bozjan, Law's Order, and Blade's.
Is there 525 armor that is bis that came out during 5.55
No, BiS remains a combination of Augmented Cryptlurker and Edenmorn gear (both i530)
Oh ok
But the Blade's Gear is i525
You get it by buying it from the Resistance Supplier for platinum coins, after completing the Dalriada.
hi guys, this should be fine for a gunblade right?
It might be too much SkS. It entirely depends on how much you have from the rest of your gear.
If you're not Savage raiding, don't worry about it though
got it. thanks
!faq steam
cuz if its something i already have i rather just sell it on the MB
- Steam launcher integration update
- Steam and windows expansions are not interchangeable, buy the expansions for your base platform
- Use SteamEdit to remove -issteam argument to play with your windows subscription via steam
- You do not need to uninstall ffxiv if you have either the steam or windows version when you want to swap.
for ninja, is DWAD the only way to get assassinate
Yes
why can't they just be the same button yoshi-p
does killing magitek mobs only bump up CE chance or also skirmishes
its always the same but it depends on the job/class that does the opening
you can see the list of items here
is it worth getting the iron whatever armor if u get a full set of job specific armour from the lvl 50 job quest anyway
Augmented Ironworks is much better than the job set
how do i do the bowl of embers (hard)
the beginning sections of Heavensward will assume you're in about 110-120 at least
and the navel, and the howling eye
i need it continue the story but idk where it is it doesnt say
Not like there's anything else more worth spending poetics on at 50
as a free trial player, what things can I spend my gil now so I don't have to later?
!quest A Recurring Problem
Minfilia has need of your talents for a reemerging primal problem.
Minfilia
The Waking Sands (X: 6.91 Y: 6.14)
Urianger
The Waking Sands (X: 6.06 Y: 4.99)
The Ultimate Weapon
Ifrit Bleeds, We Can Kill It
maybe some commonly used crafting material or something? any recommendations?
if you don't have access to Ishgard, then basically buy a couple of each orchestrion roll and minion from each of the 3 starting city vendors near-ish the main aetheryte
most people are dumb and don't know those items can be bought from a vendor for cheap, so they can sometimes sell for profit on the marketboard.
I've never heard of those places :(
oh I misread that
soo orchestrion rolls and minions near aetherites in the main cities
Roarich in Ul'dah at x11 y10, Bango Zango in Limsa Lominsa at x10 y11, Maisenta in Gridania at x12 y11.
thanks
One thing that requires a bit of work are the beast tribe minion and mount
Worth quite a bit for a ft and should leave a healthy chunk in your wallet
(those aren't tradeable and are meant more as a gil sink/collection thing)
@obsidian patio i dont get it what does that show?
That was for Catzzye
i mean the thingh u @ me
q: steam isnt working with my non steam account, even though i did the things in the !faq steam command, will the one directly from square let me play/login on both a steam and non steam version?
the quest you needed to continue the story with
ooo wait is this the part im on where u said do the quests inside of the waking sands
because i have to do it eventuially
yes
halfway there
that faq is outdated, Steam now requires to be launched on steam.
Do you guys know if i can do the lvl68 warrior job quest wjen i am only at like lvl64 Stormblood wuestline?
nope, need level 64-65 story at least to enter the Azim Steppe
@obsidian patio so, to play on both, i need 2 different installs?
You can register a non-steam game to the steam library, though I can't remember if that works.
But you can't use the steam launcher (as if you bought the game on steam) for non-steam
you can't turn cryptlurker gear back into tomestones, can you?
no.

What trials?
for minfilia shes red and i have to do these 3 trials before i can continue
urianger in the waking sands
the quest is called a recurring problem
hey guys can i swap my bozja relic weapons at any given time? i heard you can level you alt jobs lvl 71+ doing the resistance but the fire in the forge requires me to use my lvl 80 job. TIA
he has 3 different things on his name which do i pick
all 3
all of them if you're required to do all 3
o
You can start a new relic anytime but you can't switch between them
Bozja and the relics are completely separate though
You can do Bozja without caring about the relic at all
The quests you need that give the needed Hard mode primal trials are "Ifrit Bleeds, We Can Kill it", "In For Garuda Awakening", and "In a Titan Spot"
do i need to pay attention to these questlines ?
not particularly
it feels like its confusing me more lol
oh got ya , im just ahout to unlock on my dk lvl 80 but i wil be maining my gnb lvl 76 so i was afraid if i started the quest would lock me in on the drk
@glossy flare
so fire in the forge quest its just to make your 1st resistance weapon right?
i wish there was a crystal at the waking sands
Yes, which is free
The next one will require a 1k poetics investment
for as much as the game makes u go there it would make sense to have one lol
red poetics we get for doing dailie roulettes?
You should have gotten a few teleport tickets via the msq
Tomestones of Poetics, they are red, yes (not the only red tomestone though)
And what you get for roulettes depends on the job you do them with
is this rendering correctly
because at 80 you get other tomes
awesokme thx a lot for your help @glossy flare ❤️
a lot of stuff in that area seems a bit off
the weather in mor dhona is currently foggy so yes
so i can just get the free one on my lvl 80dk and then once its done i can do the quests on my 76 gnb?
this is in cutscene
weather still matters for the most part in cutscenes
is the fantasia i get from ARR completion the only free one i get
yes.
interesting
You still need to be lvl 80 on a given job to start a new relic. As the first stage of the relic weapon is a lvl 80 weapon
But you can enter Bozja at 71, once you have unlocked it
For leveling purposes
Just continue the Bozja questline on any 80 job until you unlock the actual Bozja instance
At that point you can use any lvl 71+ job to level in there
Is farming fates or mobs +10 your gear level better for spiritbonding?
Also, is it worth considering equipping the +x spiritbond gear?
Trying to farm low grade materia
Quick question, do you have to upgrade the gear from the Samurai class quest? or is it more for novelty? Sorry really new so not for sure 😅
i have to do the akh afah in extreme?
if you're going for grade 2/3 materia then definitely use the two meteor survivor rings
no.
to progress the msq?
no??
why is it saying drop dead shiva use the duty finder to confont shiva in extreme
that's an optional quest
wrong quest then, or at least not one you need for msq
see Wynne's post above for the quest names you need
plain overworld mobs don't spiritbond anymore, as for fates im not completely sure
leves might do it too? i never experimented with low level spiritbond since they changed it
worst case scenario you'll have to do dungeons
How is party targeting done on controller?
idk guys now urianger has nothing on his head
up/down on the dpad
@obsidian patio Ok, thanks!
Oo. Thanks
pressing up twice (when not targeting anyone) also loops it back to the bottom of the party menu, same
I just found out you can use the DRK skill TBN on party members
And you completed the "A Recurring Problem" Quest?
can i safely toss out extra axles/springs/books/memories once i've gotten 30 of them each?
yes
yes...
nice of course i go to the revenants toll lol
so is this stuff im doing right now things that happened before right
like i already did these events
do you have to finish all the crystal tower series for MSQ progression?
Yes
no you talk to the minfilia in the waking sands, not revenants toll
it's a weird mini-time bubble caused by her having the side-quest
Which voice is the miqtoe one which makes that meow sounds
and also giving side quests to important NPCs AKA the scions
Is it voice 5?
oh i see so i dont need to read this stuff to understand whats gonna happen after right
And having urianger constantly change his glam to his old robe,
If you haven't done the primal quests ofc
spoilers and not possible since those quests are a requirement for msq
TL;DR: the story basically proceeds linearly assuming you did the content around the patch it was introduced in.
The HM r required? I never got stopped in the story
Ifrit, Titan and Garuda are, yes
Keep waiting. If you’re a DPS then expect to wait 10-15 minutes for most things in the duty finder.
oh boy, fair enough then
maybe longer, considering you have the crystal role and it's like 2-4am for a lot of US
^
It’s basically the worst time of day possible to queue for anything in North America servers
oce servers when pls 😢
Soon™️
My southern bozja instance has been trying to spawn the For Absent Friends skirmish for 4 hours now. What the actual fuck is happening here?
They need to fix this
all i want to is to get to the point where i can join a company and unlock a mount
It’s been spawning fine for me. 🤷♂️
Remember that only one CE or one Skirmish that leads to a CE can exist at a time
So not only do you need to kill Scorpions in the third zone, you need to clear other CEs that pop as soon as possible.
We've got people clearing out CE and Skirmishes and a groiup farming the mechs in the surrounded area. And it just won't goddamn pop
And the ones that lead to duels, like Absent, have a respawn timer
Is coral a fishing thing?
How to tell if an inn has dressing rooms?
I see
there's some coral "fish" if that's what you mean
You usually need snagging active to catch them
holy shit the queue popped under 15 mins
@green grail i need red and blue coral for crafting stuff
yeah it's obtainable through fishing then afaik
Yeah those are fished, though some levequests have it as a reward as well iirc
Uhg i dint wana do fisher lol
they both suck

@green grail https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/playguide/db/item/4d46309aa4d/
is super wrong
tells me theres raptors in a place when there arnt any
whats the difference between yell and shout aside from color?
does shout have bigger range?
shout is visible in the whole zone, yell is just a big circle radius say
i just started black mage not long ago and i'm super confused about when would you use Flare.. You can't cast anything after other than transpose to get some mana back. but then it's so inefficient.
is it actually just a useless action?
!faq blmleveling
it's far from useless
thanks!
until you get some later traits it's basically an aoe fire phase finisher
oh, i have been just switching to ice after.
yeah.. 80 potency on fire II is like.. what??
critical engagement
fwiw blm potencies aren't as low as some may seem, they all get "hidden" increases from astral fire
and enochian later
gunbreaker is the highest dmg output in tank role ?
yes but all tanks do good damage
gnb is highest dps but all jobs can do all content
just fyi
they're all within more or less 500dps from each other when fully optimized
i want to try all tanks but i need to level up 50 at least and it takes time
dunno .
just play the one you think looks the coolest
How do I unlock Bozja?
Game doesn't allow me to take any of those quests
5.1 msq and all of the sb alliance raids
This?
Yes
ok thanks
Are squadrons worth doing?
!faq meta
Okay ty
So yeah just play what you want
;w;
basically required if you want the highest available grand company rank, to up your seal cap to 90k
Ok guess I'll do em once I'm caught up with msq
i find squadron helpful when leveling dps at low levels. you can queue into leveling dungeons and take your time and full clear with essentially instant queue lol
Any check list of things to do before endwalker?
not really, you've got 6 months
Whatever the fuck you want including playing other games
Only mandatory thing is being caught up to 5.55 msq
Pick a role you like
Tank
Melee DPS
Ranged DPS
Caster DPS
Healer
Then pick the one with coolest effects
Like light? Go Paladin. Like smashing enemies? Go warrior. Like explosions? Go black mage etc
Google "<class name here> DPS parse" to see a basic rotation, I recommend this playlist to see how a class looks like:

God no
Desperius is infamous for giving bad advice and incorrect information
is there a way to get Pyros Crystal without doing fates since eureka is dead ?
nope
Why is eureka dead?
no matter at what time i enter there is only me and a couple of people and none doing fates
Bunny fates or nm fates?
Something lower level like ash the magic dragon shouldnt be too hard to solo spawn
Got a friend trying to find a set of MNK weapons with a unique draw animation (i'm doubting they even exist), only thing to go on is it has a floating block particle effect for the set, and were glove fist weapons
arcanist, thaumaturge, or conjurer, which is the best in popularity?
Well, do you want to be a healer?
i have mixed feelings between dps and healer
So when starting should i only do MSQ till i'n level 50?
Can hop shamelessly from healer (scholar) or dps (summoner) with arcanist base class but no guarantee either (sch or smn) is fun (especially before trance at smn lv60)
@robust light , go Arcanist then. Arcanist becomes a healer and DPS later on.
Getting msq over with is suggested since its a long term time sink compared to expansion jobs or leveling another class
Quick question. I want to unlock the yojimbo/gilgamesh trial. Do I have to do all the hildibrand quests starting from the ARR stuff?
Yes
yup
Damn ☹️
Hope it’s worth it. FFX was my favourite game so want to unlock as much content that refers to it as poss.
I’m guessing because of the grind to unlock it doesn’t pop up in roulette much
Makai fists? Not entirely sure what you mean by block particle
I like Hildibrand
that's all he said, it was like debris was floating around it
!iglam Fists of the Fiend
these?
maybe? I'll ask him tomorrow
A description of the floaters (particle fx) might help (even just a colour)
It is possible it is a relic weapon too.
the main thing he was obsessing over was that it "had" a unique draw animation, and he was complaining the new mnk relic doesn't use it
I was thinking the literal cube mnk weapons but hard time remembering if they have a glowing variation
Avengers. and no, i linked them to him and said no
all he's caring about is the draw animation
a question, if I buy a time card while I am on the free 30 days trial, do I get a total of 90 days of playtime ?
Question for anyone here . Do you know what the name of the track that usually plays in more emotion filled cutscenes is ?the track starts with a bit of piano and violin joins in a bit later
Does anybody know why my game keeps crashing whenever I access my retainers? I just installed FFXIV on my new External SSD and everything seems to be okay up to the point to where I need to access or do anything with my retainers.
yes
In ShB it is Tomorrow and Tomorrow afaik.
Don't remember the other 2 or 3.
Just a clip of the echo cutscene looking back at the Battle of Carteneau when things ain't going so well. The track is called Forever Lost and can be found in game and on the latest OST from Square Enix.
This video is part of a larger playlist, hear the rest of the game's music here:
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLL5mKr-nFprKMsrDqpwsI1...
might be this one too
Better get the game on an internal SSD, Windows 10 (DirectX) doesn't like external disks for games.
It’s neither of those , I don’t know how to describe it but I really love the violin on that track
Ah, that sucks. I just got his thing.
What does proc mean and hard cast mean?
Assuming you're asking about Red Mage, your procs are VerFire and VerStone, while hard casting is when you casting a spell that isn't being made instant by dual cast

but in general terms a proc is an ability or effect that happens by chance, with the cause depending on your job
Yeah I've picked up rdm and Im kinda new to DPS
Yozora, i think i rember it now.
But i can't recall the name.

when can i use the extra cosmetics from the collectors edition when starting the game
Did you register it? In that case the mail moogles should have it after a few main scenario quests.
How do I "Return to the prima vista"?
Glams are unlocked at vesper bay. Minions can be used immediately. Mounts need my little chocobo completed (after chosing gramd company)
Kugane
Where
Kugane, Airship Landing.
Airship landing
The 2nd floor pagoda near the Markets
Oh okay, ty
Can use aetherite also once everything is unlocked
🍡✌️
Well should be able to
Does HW have a crafting tribe?
fastest omega raid for relic drops?
I’d assume 1 and 3 due to them having the largest ilvl differences for syncing
that's correct
Also unless youre doing pf runs, 1-4 are the most likely to be queued for because moogle tomestones
Even if you're using pf o3 is so piss easy and fast people use it to farm the tank mounts
i'm on a msq where i need to equip gear but none of the quests i'm doing are offering me gear so what do i do?
Which msq specifically?
@warm snow hi, I finally bought ffxiv
It's called dressed to call
literally all i need are lvl 5 armour pieces but i cant find any quests that gives me any
yea he gave me 1 piece
Can the rathalos mount also attack ?
should be very easy to find one
no
literally called “merchant and mender”
No
Mount actions are cosmetic only
just wondering if anyone here playing ffxiv on ps5?. I love the ps5 update but is it me or it kinda feels needs some tuning
I play it on the 1440p mode and it’s fine, the 4K mode still isn’t worth it for me because of it not being 60fps locked
i actually just playu on hd as o use my lg 1080 monitor
but i rarely noticed some weird stutters . they very quick though
I think it’s just the CPU hitting max clocks and there being no variable refresh rate to remedy any inconsistencies tbh. (3.5GHz isn’t exactly brilliant for a very CPU heavy game)
There are some errors on PS5, never logout in Rhelgar's Reach, it causes login errors.
oh i got ya
hopefully they should be able to patch it
i feel ps5 its so powerful , and yea thats very minor really. thx for clarifying that bud
where do people level up past 50?
is it more effective for me to use the bozja earring or menphina's earring while leveling in bozja?
does the 30% exp work in bozja
bozja due to the haste bonus
if it's like other EXP equipment then only roulette bonuses and directly killing enemies should be boosted
ok ty
Menphina's Earring will work as an exp boost on all the same stuff Bozjan does.
So surely it should be far superior
whats a flare mechanic
Do you mean an Exaflare mechanic?
Flares are the "GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM THIS HUGE-ASS TRIANGLE"
ohh
Oh tank proximity attacks
like in bunker
A player is targeted with a big triangle of white arrows pointing outward
o
They will receive heavy damage and so will other players based on proximity
good to know
Is there no VA even in cutscenes?
Yeah, I think E2S is the only fight where people other than tanks get it
There is voice acting in some cutscenes.
As the expansions progress, a greater percentage of cutscenes becomes voiced.
Ok it's just weird since I feel like this cutscene is supposed to be voiced acted but it's more like echoes of them barely speaking? Idk
if you mean that you can barely hear them, check your audio settings in the system config
Yea everything was up except master volume but i could hear everything else fine
i'm currently max lv60 in heavensward... i guess i should switch to another job when completing msq to not waste xp, right?
if you want to, sure.
Try the "/voice 100" text command, it also works in cutscenes and set voice audio on maximum.
Done i'll lyk if it works

Also is the grass supposed to be fuzzy? Like every time i move it's like the grass is flickering
Nope, grass doesn't make a sound afaik.
Shadow render is jank that might be it
The predefined shadow tends the do that, dynamic shadows tend to artifact
A friend of mine is playing the trial of the game.
If he buys the normal SHB expansion, will he get the base game aswell or he needs to buy the complete edition?
The latter
Needs complete edition
Base game + dlc
Think of it that way
You can play with just the base game but can't play with just shadowbringers
Yeah if Shadowbringers included the base game then there wouldn't be a point for the complete version
Aight thanks
Hi! I'm a ps-player who just added a licence for pc, do I need to back up my character and ui settings from ps and then download it to pc to get all crossbar settings etc?
I believe so
Ok so apparently there's no fix for grass flickering and has been in the game for over 4 years to my knowledge. Sucks
Definitely won't hurt to put a backup on the cloud anyways
Alright thank you! I'll give it a shot then!
Yes, hotbars and several other things are stored locally.
Just to double up on this, I fixed the issue with a re-install! Seemed to do the trick.
How do you make server name disappear in a macro that uses " <t>"
when I revive someone it says their name+server name which makes the sentence too long
You can't afaik
means whatever job/class you currently are, cannot glam that item
Why? I'm blm and it says blm is allowed https://i.imgur.com/yxJZ7IL.png
oh is it because the glamour is level 54 and my armor is level 50?
yes
yes
that'd do it
when is it safe to level up other jobs?
doing raid better or bozjan better for the relic quest 😦
which? there's like 4
Whenever you want
in an mmo the journey is what matters not how fast you get there 🙂
Best is a combination of both, Zadnor and 8-man raids drop the items 100%.
Because CE's are not spawned as much, best is a combo of both due to that.
oh its zadnor xD
also uh, currently playing as a redmage and i dont quite get what this means
does it only have stuff exclusive to specific classes?
Hello! The 2 encyclopaedia eorzea books I ordered from eBay finally arrived and I was wondering since I can't open them yet; is the minion code inside the book or should I get an email with the code?
What level 70 coffer is it?
And if its a weapon coffee you need to be lv70 to open it
ah that explains it
thanks!
also why did they give me a level 90 coffer if the cap is 80
gear unequippable by your current class/job
Would you meet the level reqs for a lv70 item
Item level
Item level 90
let me double check just in case
Item level =\= level
bc ilvl 70 is like ... not even late ARR gear
rdm doesn’t have a weapon lower than i115 iirc
bc it was introduced in stormblood and it starts at lvl 50
so if you try to open an item level 70 weapon coffer it doesn’t work
bc no such weapon exists for rdm
pretty sure
and ARR classes have items at i70 and i90 respectively?
it’s the one you get as the starting gear
Iirc hw jobs have some too
So depending on when a job is introduced it starts at a certain level
ARR lv1
HW 30
Sb 50
Shb 60
Endwalker 70
there are two sets
There are NO usable weapons for those classes below their starting levels
Because there's no need
yeah basically
glamour weapons are a different thing not getting into that rn
So there's no dark Knight, machinist or astrologian weapons below level 30
the i70 weapon coffer is for upgrading your arr job weapon that might still be at i50
bc rdm gets an i115 weapon for free as an unlock, they have no need to make a lower lvl weapon for it
can lvl 70 content be done solo by the end of EW?
what about the Omega raids?
Definitely not savage but if the normal mode has not too much damage it might be doable
Better to just find at least 1 or 2 friends though
what does this symbol means?

how long is ruby ex
is it synced at a specific ilvl
i have no friends in this game
Ruby weapon ex isn't ilvl synced
holy shit
Takes about 6 to8 minutes now
Hey, quick question, i have to do these MSQ and then i'll unlock Dark Knight or is there something else? https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/playguide/db/quest/?category2=0&page=1&category3=2
so like im i521
I'll be okay right?
Can be done with 1 tank now
pretty much, you need to unlock access to ishgard, which is the first quest of heavensward, right after 7th astral era
are there items that can be bought through company seals that are good for making money through selling?
yep
aight, thank you
get schellite maybe i butchered that name
craft wolfgram ingots
craft lv 50 primal weapons sell them
some sell for over 150k close to 200k
some other stuff like admirals painting can be sold for 40k if yourr lucky
then again it's all server dependent
I see, thank you!
some people used to sell coke but idk if thats worth it
ive never sold them
other method is getting tons of ventures so you can send retainers to gather high end mats in bulk so you can sell them
how is the grind in eureka compared to zadnor?
thank you very much!
just finish your challenge log in eureka you get like 3.5 levels per challenge log
Question for PC players. Sometimes in raids like Praetorium, you have to fast click an object to then activate it and proceed to next area, but there's a trash pool crowding it and right clicking to activate becomes difficult. I know I can F12 to target nearest object/npc, but is there another shortcut to then open the option box? It still means I have to physically zoom in and right click the object otherwise.
there's a keybind that lets you click through players and enemies, should be x by default
what should i spend tomestones of allegory on before i cap on them. the armor at best is ilvl 500 so that doesnt seem useful to me now. is it just crafting mats to use these on now for me?
if so, which ones should i get to sell
thank you
i use allegory to aug my exhalchic sets
can I enter dungeons alone?
is it late for eu now ? im in que for castrum fluminis as healer but it takes long
Is there a way to make the camera automatically move with the mouse without having to click and drag?
your what sets?
i510
exharchic sets
no, it's not an action combat mmo
can be augmented to i520
I belive it's around lunch time for EU, people still at work
with rains bought with allegory
which mount is the spinning turtle with flames on it?
i see thank you
yep
ahh ok ty
adamantoise, from the gold saucer
thx!
Is there any requirement to activate exp buffs in the FC?
Can I just make a new FC and enable it right away?
No
need a certain FC rank first
Your FC has to be high enough rank
and then the xp boosts come tiered, so higher rank enables you to use better boosts
Which you rank up by literally just doing random shit
are the sapphire/ruby/diamond/etc cutscenes included in NG+?
Would be yes
No or use a controller.
Why is my characters design not showing in the companion app? It's just a gray silhouette
probably just lodestone being lodestone, it updates like every 2-3 hours
Many players said to me that you can up 2 jobs during MSQ. But i'm doing some sidequest too, my 1st job outlevel by +10 lvl the MSQ, and my second outlevel it by 2-3 lvl. Is it normal or it can be worth to up a third one ?
If you're on a preferred world that sounds normal so sure, pick up a third one
May need to do a few roulettes to keep up 3 though
@glossy flare Okey thanks, i'll check that. Or maybe i'll keep 2 jobs. But when you outlevel MSQ too much, it's strange to go in a dungeon with you new spells but you can't use them because you are too high level ^^
Are there companions other than chocobos?
no
For combat you mean? no
you can have little pets, but they don't do anything besides being cute
And there's many different mounts
aw, it would be cool if you could hire NPCs to perform those roles
If I'm not mistaken you can get a house in this game right? How or when do you get access to it?
Just being lvl 5 is enough afaik. There are quests to unlock the several housing areas and once you are in there it is, in theory, as simple as approaching an empty plot and paying the fee to get it
Is it purely cosmetic the fact that you can have a a "modern style" skin ? Or even futuristic cosmetics (like the car from FF15). I even saw a little "alphinaud".
I though that FF15 was a medieval game, except some "steampunk" armors, like FF7. It feels strange sometimes to compare skins to NPC for example
you can unlock access to the housing zones around level.. 6? 10? outside each city, then you need to be second lieutenant of your grand company to be able to purchase any, and then get 3 - 50 million gil and then manage to purchase a plot before the other 1000 players interested in it
In practice there is a limited number of plots so the housing market is highly contested.
It's not purely medieval. As with many FF games there are quite a few sci fi influences, not just steam punk
do we have a shiny weapon from lv 60 poetics like lv50 in mr dohna
Bruh, sad tbh. Thought everyone had the opportunity to get one without too much trouble :/
Looking at squadrons rn. Did they get rid of chemistry? Or why do none of my current recruits have any?
Yes, you can buy it in Idyllshire. The Shire set
ty anyways
shire gear
you can get an apartment, those are basically unlimited
Or in Ishgard, once you have completed the 3.0 msq
does it has VFX ?
depends on the weapon 🤷
I'll look it up in that case! ty!
for lv 50 all weapons has effect
as for lv 60 only monk has fire effect
im i blind
Wait, you may be talking about something different
What specific lvl 50 weapons are you talking about?
the ones that are il 110 not 130
bot not working?
is there something similar but with lv 60
It's listed under Primal Gear when buying from idyllshire
they have a bunch of names
Not really no, those masterwork weapons are an arr thing
there are shiny primal weapons though
@glossy flare Ofc, but it seems that there is a huge "out of story" cosmetics, like Gw2. Have a little alphinaud on your side, or a modern clothes. I know there are some sci fi influence in FF. But except some "robots" (magiteck, so it's not really scientific robots), most of the world is medieval : your mount is a chocobo ect.
I know that if i have a skin i will have one that fits the world ^^ Like i didn't like a super sayan skin in Gw2 x)
as with any expansion
kupobot's working fine, the site it uses for marketboard data seems to be down
the only shiny weapon i see from the vendor is totem gear alexander
I have no idea what your question there is
ok
primal weapons are crafted and not bought via poetics
if you don't wanna craft them yourself you can buy them on the mb from other players
ik but i was curious if there a new set of effect weapons can be purchase by poetics
no
thank you.
if I do first clears after handing in my journal (meaning I dont currently have one) - do those count as second chances when I get my next journal tomorrow
again, those masterworks you were referring to are an ARR only thing sadly
sadly
@glossy flare Like Gw2, cosmetics are there to please the players, but that don't necessarily fits into the game. I just wanted to know if i'm right or not ^^
Yes, you can still collect second chance points without having a journal
perfect thanks
9 is the cap though
yeah as always
Sure, there are some items that are not necessarily story canon
90% of them are though
ok thanks
Technically all of it is canon tbh, even weird minions have some description that makes it fit... more or less.
But often it's not to be taken at face value
hey guys how do I save my current keybinds
I got a new mouse and I wanna save these keybinds for the old mouse just in case

Which ring should I buy for Samurai?
ty
After hw you'll be restricted on which you can use
hi!! how do you get the increased mettle buff in Zadnor?
be around the duel CE as it gets completed successfully
as far as i know
Thx
poetic tomes are for arr gear, when do i get thew new tome for hw gear lvl
Same tome
60, also for poetics
It is in ishgard aetheryte after finishing HW
or in idyllshire
so not revenant
you can get it from idyllshire by lv58 in the msq
ok i see
level 58 eh
Didnt know about that
obviously you still have to be 60 to equip it
but you can enter idyllshire by lv58msq
i forgot u get the tome gear at the end of each expansion that makes sense
I never had healer anxiety, but I have tank anxiety.
How to fix this?
whats the fastest omega for the memories? i need 4 books and ces are not popping
I think the reason why I never had healer anxiety because support has been my class in almost every mmorpg game
only way to fix this is to tank stuff and get hit tbh
This is my first MMO and I started as tank because I really wanted to be dark knight but I'm starting to think I made a mistake lmao it's so much pressure
just play tank 
And bro people are straight up lying when they say the community is not toxic
!faq tankguide
Tank is arguably the easiest role in the game, you are probably overthinking it
And sure, toxic ppl exist everywhere though if you are polite about your own mistakes chances are ppl will be polite towards you
And sprouts have a bit more leeway with those things too
not to discount your experience, but it could also be that your party members may be giving you advice or suggestions on how to make the instance experience smoother for every person involved
Yeah, advice is not necessarily toxic
I know the difference between advice and toxicity lmao there's a huge difference between the people who tell me what I'm doing wrong and the people who make fun of me for messing up without telling me what I even did up
And there's been exactly one person who told me what I did wrong
Everyone else just berates me but won't answer me when I ask what I even did
how do i add a third hotbar
I've played a lot of games but I've never seen a community this bad
either in hud layout and you can rightclick the hotbar to make it visible, or in character configuration > hotbar
not to argue, but there are definitely communities that are worse in "toxicity"
i'm sure there are things that were said to you that were awful, but similarly its not the whole picture since we only have what you're telling us
berserk fan im guessing
not relevant or the right channel
That's why I have so much anxiety!!!
Yeah I already wanted to start I was gonna play red mage but when I found out about dark knight I really wanted to do it
It's fine to feel some pressure though, just means you wanna do well
Just focus on what you need to do and you'll be fine
I got so comfortable with AST that when I switched back to WHM, I couldn't handle it
Wellllll, no dark Knight til you get to the first expansion
berserk + overpower
And no red mage til you hit level 50 and buy the dlc
oogabooga
Fair warning
If there's any specific part of tanking you need help with you can always ask here
Chances are you'll get some constructive answers
The WHM is so much simpler than AST that the mechanics flew over my head
@glossy flare But, what really hit is when a healer left because we kept failing Dzemel Darkhold. I done the run many times and never had a problem with it as a tank

The worse part is that I was trying to communicate and no one talked until the healer left
Which part kill the most btw?
It happens. 🤷 It's pretty much impossible to play an MMO without witnessing some dungeon runs imploding from people leaving or whatever
After the boss where the there was a pathway of adds (mostly toads)
oh it is the deadly turn
Is there any use to extra materials for the 3 new relic quests after you complete them? (The ones that you do only once)
Yeah, for some reason I kept getting knocked off the cliff and not aggroing all the adds
no its basically just trash, unless you want to keep them for memorabilia purposes
The frog can tongue you
enough
??
guess i give my take in that channel
I see. Thank you
u cant fly on idyllshire ?
nope
You can't fly in major cities
well tbf, Idyllshire is not a major city, just the HW endgame hub
but the same is true for those anyway
thanks
I thought it was similar to the cities like Gridania, and U'l dah, and Limsa
It is in that regard, but it lacks a few features of the big cities
Like a market board for example
It's not 100% consistent anyways as the endgame hub of ShB you can't use mounts at all

Hello. Is there a raid and dungeon guide to tell you how to unlock all raids and dungeons?
!faq contentunlock
That has all content, not just dungeons
Yay! I killed ifrit first try
But it is sorted nicely so you should be fine
Oh wow thank you so much!
on a scale of 1-10 how difficult is hades ex
One of the more harder Exs this expansion
vs wol?
wow
was wondering why only hades ex gives tomes
Just Ses decision
I thought hades was easy
but those orb placement 
They have 1 mechanic each
he's just long
orbs are the hardest mech
like ten minutes a run
and that raven claw
idk im just looking at guides will try tomorrow
o
ehich is telegraphed
Anything else PF Complicates way too much
i c
Ruby only has RavensFlight, emerald only has orbs at the start and Diamond only has limit cut
Throw in the almost 100 item levels we've gained since its release and he's a piece of cake now. Just long
whats the name of the quest to present something inspiring to grenoldt i cant find it
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
blue quest ?
You need the trial launcher iirc
Ye I got it from steam
Is foul a job quest skill?
yup
Ok
all lvl 70 skills are locked behind the lvl 70 job quest
I'm lvl 69 and I was wondering if it worked like triple cast.
Foul is a spell not an ability
u cant get Valentione outfit anymore ?
how much
Idk
subjective question because i know every class is available, but does anyone have any suggestions on what i should try after ninja and dancer
XD
Does anyone do storm blood savage content?
i guess another utility class
try a tank or healer, widen your perspective
i would but my usual team lacks dps
Only unsynced
People unsync 4 8 12 for mounts and 8-12 for blu bis. Other than that not really
Glamour is a bit too inconsistent to count
Come endwalker, you're going to want a tank, a healer, a ranged, a caster, and a melee, in order to get certain full story things. Even in ShB, there's a 'complete story' quest chain that requires a tank, healer, physical dps, and caster dps.
Doing Arcanist->Scholar and Summoner at the same time will get you towards this, leaving a tank
Can you only get clusters from ce or deployments?
No
Clusters can drop from any robot mob.
Fragments can drop from any non-robot mob
Ohh okay ty!
in that case i’d just do AST PLD and RDM
Just dodge and use swiftcast lol
Closest thing to a utility class you'll get is a healer or brd
@warm snow you only can use swiftcast once???....
scholar and summoner have utility...
Swiftcast is your emergency move
It doesn't matter if I bob and weave
