Duties don't uncheck themselves
it'll tell you at the bottom of the duty finder
You need to manually uncheck them
you can check on the right where the queue timer appears, it will list all duties you are currently queued for
What does it mean when it says the plot isn’t purchasable yet
The invisible timer is in effect
How will I know
There's no way if knowing it
you won't, that's the point
Without trying to buy
just gotta spam click 
it's to make life for bots harder
I'm big noob - what's the difference between Eos and Selene?
none
cosmetic
oh okay lol
Is there information on what happens if there's a sage + scholar team if shields doesn't stack? Or this info is not out yet?
No
No news yet
But if it's like noct astro. GCD Shields won't stack
Off global Shields stack in general
I am learning ast and it just hit me
But gcd Shields dont
Yeah, currently almost all oGCD shields stack, all GCD shields don't
There is like... a grand total of 4 GCD shield ability in the game in total lol
I kinda of will at high end content.... oh you are talking about housing
Yeah housing barely makes any sense in this game
This timer, how it is determined and by who
rng
don't try to understand it, the point is that it is random and not understandable
housing is an absolute pain in the ass and i hope it will be fixed in 6.x
Doesn’t this reinforce bots
It gives human players a chance
Bots would immediately go to a plot the moment it's opened and buy it
if I buy the complete edition on the squenix store, does it activate straight away, or does it send me a code?
Yeah but how long will I camp
30 mins to 24 hours iirc
A code, you can activate it when you want.
Like if you want to keep playing free trail and pay no sub, it's fine
The maximum isn't fully properly known
perfect, ty so much ❤️
Kinda hard to know it
It could be anything
Yeah, the point of the timer is that nobody is guaranteed to get it just by knowing the time it will be available to purchase
Otherwise the only way to get a house in game will be though RMT
Or paying 20x the price
Also would it be a good idea for houses to be purely auctioned?
As in, if a large house will cost 1000 mil, so be it?
Or no because RMT managers make money significantly faster than players?
No
Why no? Like making housing the ultimate gil sink where FC can pour all their resources into?
I felt like I'm making a horrible suggestion but I'm still not sure why it's a horrible idea
Also what's the maximum amount of gil you can have again?
Like under 1 bill or something
I have that 
Right, 999mil
Per retainer
With auctions people/bots would just ridiculously jack the price and prevent alot of normal players getting one
does glamour work like one item turns into the look of another, or is it outfit based?
You put a copy of an item look onto gear
I saw this empty plot yesterday, saw that I can’t purchase it cause my GC rank wasn’t enough. Went to sleep , woke up next day and it’s still up, completed GC steps and went back and it still up and people are camping
A mechanic that actually doesn’t stop botting
one website/wiki i was checking is saying that those itens 'antique mail/tassets, etc' can be traded in a lalafel NPC in mordona, but im not finding the npc
is it still there?
Camped a plot for 11 hours, and lost to a bot. Not mad at them, they played it well to get the plot with their scripts
I blame SE for the lazy implementation
To be fair... im moaning... because im a little salty, but you are 100% correct
Apologies! 😅
Yes, bottom floor of the giant building
what's the difference between selene and eos?
None
did they say when they are putting in (I assume its strictly in your data center region) hopping between data servers?
Can you get Byakko's mane from the sideboard or just the weapons
https://i.imgur.com/Z2zsHMD.png what does this marker mean?
Passive mob
when would you use selene versus eos?
When you like the look of the other
can you store things on your company chocobo?
There's no functional difference between the fairies
Chocobo saddlebag in the character main menu button technically
Don't need them summoned
Just extra storage space
you do need to unlock the ability to summon them tho
to unlock the chocobo saddlebag
Is fashion late game or nah
All
my boy stacked
There's various different armour sets that you might like the look of
Is there a glamour plate guide?
Because I want to make these pieces glamour but I want to use them on different classes/ gear
Put stuff in the glamour dresser > go to plate > put stuff on it and done
Link plate to gear sets

HUGE Thanks to my Patreon Sponsors, who make this ...
if i get level 80 healer gear am i able to glamour it on low level items?
No
Can't glamour high level stuff on low level gear
That's why all glamour specific stuff is lv1
is there a list of all glamour specific stuff?
Look at level 1 gear on the marketboard and that’s like 80% of it
There’s a LOT
I think gamerescape has a few gear category pages that list them
i assume they cost a fortune
Mostly the new stuff
What causes the 'gateway unlock sequence failed' message in dalriada corridors?
Buttons not pressed at the same time
Both need to be pressed in close time of each other
Usually means the other side is being slow
Is checking price with the companion app free?
Yes, but buying something requires their kupo nuts currency
Cool
Was there a fate area we could do instead of running rabanastre?
So I’ve got a friend that wants to EB someone on gilga, then world transfer back
Would their ring work if they world visit gilga or not?
Azim Steppe
Thanks
No idea, but my gut instinct says no.
wondrous tails is reseting at 5am PDT?
!weekly
anyone have any good hotbar/hud layouts for dancer and summoner? my backups didnt work so I have to redo them and i do not remember how i had them at all.
i just realized something
is every bozja enemy a "positionals? just him wherever lol" enemy?
Im hitting crit bootshines from the front
yes
Yes
Not a full circle
no, usually open in the back
I really wish there is some way to tell the difference on bosses where you can only see the front
After the circle rework, you can’t tell if an enemy have positionals or not from the front anymore...
Super big bosses such as Cloud of Darkness count as closed target circles and as such have no positional requirements.
Yeah I was wondering how you hit positionals on wall bosses
You always get them
Yeah, I think 99% of the bosses that you really can’t see the back don’t have positionals
Should i be trying to get experience on other combat jobs on a character with the road to 70 buff, specially once that char gets to 70?
Do you have a picture of a closed target circle?
!faq positionals
Road to 70 stays for all of your jobs as long as they are below 70. The only way it goes away is if you have no more sub-70s or if your server loses its preferred status and 90 days have passed since your character was created.
Wait, so you’re telling me every single enemy I’ve been fighting has no positionals?
I’ve never seen the left picture anywhere in the game
I’m currently in heavensward content
Uhh, what?
it's on pretty much every enemy in the game.
Go look at any mob
I only see the right picture I believe
Probably because you're looking at them from the front
Yeah, but i am just wondering if i should train another on the side or if it doesn't really matter as long as i have the buff.
Look behind them
you'd be wrong, most mobs have the left positional ring
but if you see the arrow outside the ring it has positionals
Bruh I’m always behind them
Not solo
How are you THAT blind?
@leaden ginkgo 
I’m hitting the positionals in dungeons
meep.
bad. we all make mistakes
Only potd, hoh, eureka and bojzan mobs have the full ring
wark...
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a circle with the hole in the back
Outside of wall bosses
Could it be a setting thing?
no.
target basically any mob in the world and you'll see the positionals ring
Couldn't hurt to do so if you choose. It's a very powerful exp buff.
Okay but wait a second how the hell are you seieng positionals if you can't tell apart the rear from the flanks?
you're not doing your positionals right if you aren't moving according to the open backed circle.
I don't believe you.
Eleos.
Backing up.
this isn't the place to argue like that dude.
Thank you.
oh wow I really didn't notice a gap in the circle
All mobs you encounter in the open world, dungeons and most content have the ring with the hole in the back
I swear there was a back arrow there
Never has been
yeeup, it's always been open backed.
I mean, I do plenty of dungeons too
I'm always practicing my positionals, even in lower scaled content
anyway, so basically closed circles and wall bosses don't have positionals right?
special content?
Deep Dungeons like Palace of the Dead, Eureka and Bozja
You can also see if where the front arrow is inside or outside the circle
oh that's nice
If it inside it has no positionals
haven't tried any of those solo dungeons yet
Some story instances also have full rings as well.
I see
Potd can be done in a party
addendum to this,
but lost assassination still only KOs from the rear despite the no positional thing?
!skill Lost Assasination
Delivers a close-quarter attack with a potency of 350. Chance of instant KO when attacking from the rear, which increases the lower the target's HP.
Spirit of the Beast Effect: Grants the effect of Lost Font of Power to self
Lost Font of Power Effect: Increases damage dealt by 30% and critical hit rate by 40%
Duration: 18s
This action does not share a recast timer with any other actions. Furthermore, the recast timer cannot be affected by other actions.
how do i unlock emperor full set so i can glamour away stuff?
I don’t understand
Level a crafter to 15 to unlock the ability to craft glamour prisms, and then it's from the glamour vendor in vesper bay/mor dhona
This invisible timer, what’s the max it can be
we don't know
you can also buy them from the marketboard
but well people mark up the prices
just going to add that it needs to be any crafter but cul for this
but we've seen from down to ~2 hours to somewhere up to 3-5 days
we don't know - some say 24hrs, others have seen up to 48 or even more
I've already done that quesdt at level 15
and i'm at the vendor
but he doesn't sell it
Can’t they offer on party finder
are you certain you did the crafter prism unlock quest and not simply the glamour unlock?
Instead of this bullshit
Because there's 2 quests for glamour. one for the glamour system itself, and one to unlock the crafter recipes
what's the crafting glamour prisms quest called?
"Absolutely Glamourous"
I’m not sleeping till I buy the plot
good luck then
k have fun
The first person to click after the timer runs out gets the plot?
yes
hi! i have a question. i bought stuff from mogstation today, but it has yet to be delivered (been around an hour. i know it can take up to 24 hours though. yes i relogged, yes i have open space in my mailbox.) is there any chance that mogstation deliveries are suspended for memorial day?
memorial day wouldn't affect the system
would anyone like to help me with the thousand maws of totorak?
No they don't close for holidays. It's more likely that the system is just backed up. Some items take considerably longer to deliver than others. Account-wide mounts in particular.
fair enough. was just wondering. thank you! :)
Where do I view achivements?
It's at the bottom of your character menu.
character button, bottom left corner. looks like a character model with four lines. bottom line
Oh, i see that now thanks
mhm!
This timer isn’t set by the person who’s selling right
the plot isn't being sold by anyone
it's automatic and random
its done by the game because the plot has been relinquished via demolish or relocation
just be patient.
So.. anyone knows why my square enix acc is in japanese on their site? xD And how to change it to english? I'm playing from EU on the EU servers
be patient as in settle in for 20 hours, lol
does the url start with jp.square-enix... yadda yadda?
This is in the online shop, yes?
Yea.
One moment please.
How do you do the first part here? I'm lost just running up and down hallways

they're in 2nd coil
Oh second
3rd coil 3 is a maze?
That's turn 8 right
i think i finally figured it out
First coil turn 3 is a maze...no boss..just get to the end
boss just one shot me maybe i cant solo it afterall
bind then attacked me once then a 2nd time which instakilled
T8 is Avatar, isn't it? Iirc that's one of the more mechanically complex ones.
hmm... this website is in english. That's ok. But the MogStation thingy is still in JP
Yeah it's avatar boss
Yes, I linked you from the online store
Oh Mogstation? The language setting is in the same place but it has to be changed before you log in iirc.
Make sure the online store is set to english
ah.. lol it doesn't let me change the language for that one after I log in.
Do so before you do.
Did that
But not on the main website
It changed it after I logged in
Okay
Try this url: https://store.finalfantasyxiv.com/ffxivstore/en-us/
I think it's a bad cache on your PC, you should clean all your cookies and temp data. @steady zenith
ah true... that might be it
Also, yeah that. But the url I just sent is the US English online store url
That one doesn't work cuz it gets automatically changed to the JA-JP one when I click on it xD
It can be a dirty DNS cache too, but that is slightly harder to clean.
Okay. Try changing 'ja-jp' to 'en-jp' in the url bar.
Well I finally managed to beat the avatar, apparently it you nuke it to 75% before any towers spawn it will just kill you
Same thing. Goes to japanese automatically. I'll try clearing cache see what happens
If cleaning cookies and temp files doesn't work and Disgruntler's advice too, i will post the steps to clean the DNS cache.
doesn't seem dns-y, it's defaulting to the domain info for japanese in the bar
Whar does this icon next to some unique monsters mean? https://i.imgur.com/NC15W2X.png
Hmm cleared cache and still same thing. The bar on top right is like.. "greyed out" and can't be clicked in order to change.
hunt targets
Thats a passive mob, its a b rank hunt mob
Oh so i guess something i havn't unlocked then, my hunting log stopped at level 30 or something
hunting log and hunts are separate
@steady zenith
Can you look up your IP-adress at https://whatismyipaddress.com/ and tell me the first 5 or 6 numbers before the 2nd period? (And please delete it after that.)
IP address lookup, location, proxy detection, email tracing, IP hiding tips, blacklist check, speed test, and forums. Find, get, and show my IP address.
Oh i see, will see about that in the future then probably, cheers!
That is strange, that is a RIPE-NCC allocation @steady zenith. (You can delete your post with the ip-adress, for privacy reasons.)
Do the following:
1: Open startmenu and type cmd
2: Type in the command window ipconfig /release
3: Type in the command window ipconfig /flushdns
4: Type exit
5: Reboot your PC and see if it works again
Got it. Will do this in a few mins cuz I can't restart my pc atm. Thx a lot for trying to help me with this fix 😦
Is there 1 invisible timer until the devaluation timer ends?
The fuck
Is there a storage location in Grinadia?
Man If I don’t get a house after camping for like 10 hours I’m gonna look like a clown
Do it in that order, it is very likely you have a dirty cache @steady zenith.
I checked the /16 IP-adress at Ripe NCC and it is indeed in your intended store region, so hopefully above fix will fix it.
People have waited much longer
is there a reason to do DoH quests other than the quest rewards + exp?
like does it unlock new stuff or something
About Chocobo color, I was trying to get soot black..I followed correct in order and it seem mess up...first time it go Blue and now hunter green...can I make Hunter green to soot Black? In google, I see hunter green is R 40 G 75 B 38...for soot black, R 43 G 41 B 35. How do I calculate to give food to it?
Do you mean retainers? If so then east of the Leatherworker guild
Or the zone entrance to the northeast of the big aetheryte
chocobo coloring is rng
i haven't done any for a job, and i seem to be getting them anyways
hmm did all that, still stuck in japanese :))) Well fk it. I don't mind having it like that but that's gonna affect my purchases as well? As in, I'd pay in Yen so the price might be higher/lower?
Got it
according to the wiki only 1 skill seems to actually require the class quest
@topaz vine your combat job quests are mandatory
The level 63 and 65 quests are important and useful
One of your biggest skills is behind it
So you should be doing them
!action manipulation
but i can leave them for when my crafting level is higher
There are two skills unlocked by the 63 and 65 quests in particular that are essential for crafting. Most crafting rotations are built assuming you have those two skills.
which would make it easier to complete them right
if you want to sure
Basically a better master’s mend for cheaper
just don't forget
kk thx
Hmm.... you tried a different device too like a smartphone? (Try wifi and mobile internet if you have it.)
I do know of problems with legacy ip-adress allocations and webshops that try use them to assign the correct region, what can work is turning off the modem for 4 to 24 hours to get a new IP-lease if the ISP is using dynamic allocations (almost all consumer ISP's do that), but that means no internet for 4 to 24 hours ofc.
(( @leaden ginkgo ))
Not really, it is possible to calculate it via the RGB values of each fruit or let a website do it for you including correct feeding order. (( https://www.ffxivchocobo.com ))
chocobo colouring is still rng
even with the calculator
its not perfect, and its entirely possible to use the calculator and not get the colour you want
because feeding is rng
Does anyone have a list of zadnor field note sources?
I think this might be the problem. Since the account was registered in Japan, it's stuck on that language as well?
Not really @twilit arch. The game just grab the closest RGB values it knows when you have a value that is not known by the game.
And a bit strange, because every fruit has a specific RGB gain/loss value so you can manipulate it.
I have used that website multiple times
That is entirely possible.
Well rip
and i have followed the feeding order to the letter and gotten colours that i was not aiming for
the calculator is not perfect and chocobo colouring is still a bit RNG
ok on a side note, on average how long would it take to get from lvl 50 to 80 assuming youve just finished arr
Well, if the starting color wasn't correct it makes errors ofc.
And RNG is possible for a bit, because like i said, when the RGB value is something the game doesn't know, it grabs the RGB values that are closest to it seperatly resulting in odd colors.
Yeah when I wanted Hunter Green for my Chocobo, I had to do it 3-4 times to get it to that from the default yellow
it is not perfect...
Yep, because the FF14 RGB system for chocobo's is kinda ood.
Anyway, back to business here. 😀
What you can do is contact SE EU support and ask them if your account can be english language. Don't know if they also want to change regions for you.
When a dancer partners me, is there anything I need to do, or do I just keep DPSing?
Yea, I'll do that. Thx a lot for all the help 🙂
Nothing special
Just do damage
Partner changes nothing to you, other than you do more damage
keep dpsing as much as possible, as using weaponskills helps the dancer do dps
so basically if youre already doing your job and keeping gcd spinning youre fine lol
Ah. It's a boost for them, not me, then?
Both
You get a permanent 5% damage buff
From standardsl step
And Increased crit/dh rate every 2mins from devilment
You give them Job gauge points when you use gcds
Each expansion is probably only slightly shorter than arr, if not longer
If you’re watching cutscenes and paying attention to story at least 40-50 hours
(For each expansion)
Personally it took me longer though
Not entirely sure what it would be without that, but probably way less if you’re not paying attention
HW has the least MSQ and SB has the most one with ShB close to SB MSQ count of all the expansions.
They all take the same time, because of cutscenes and longer quests.
Ah ok good to know
If i take ARR into account as well, each expansion is indeed way shorter then that. ARR is trimmed in 5.3, so easier to plow trough now.
@stable crystal 
arr has 200 or so quests plus 80 but many of the quests are really fast so it’s still pretty short
arr > shb > sb > hw in terms of quest numbers
I wouldn’t say quest numbers are indicative of length though because the expansions have a lot more cutscenes and story
ShB have 157 MSQ and SB have 162 MSQ, so SB beat ShB in MSQ count.
(Unless you’re not paying attention to story, of course)
that said tho, you're right rigged in that quest numbers really aren't indicative of length
especially since cutscene length alone, the expansions have a lot more
Yep, all expacs MSQ are the same length in time total.
Where do you trade blue crafter scrip tokens for crstal sand?
what level are the items you are wearing
Can't glamour high level stuff on low level gear
Ulan offers nothing when I talk to him
where are you in the hw relic chain?
is limsa like the main hub for everyone? any time fo the day i come here its always a huge group at the aetheryte
can you show the dialogue box when talking to ulan
limsa is the most convenient city aetheryte
because the marketboard is right next to the teleport point
so people tend to hang around there
oh i have to equip the weapon 
ahh ok ty
how can i know my susbscription by hours?
Is there a way to completely hide other players' summons? I saw there's /bahamutsize but surely there's something more. They keep getting in the way on my screen.
No.
Damn
You can’t.
Hopefully /bahamutsize small keeps it from filling my entire screen 😭
when dpsing as a WHM, is it better to just aero--> spam stone --> aero again once DOT runs out or do it alternatively, like aero -> Stone -> aero -> stone?
does anyone know the bot cmd for server pings?
put up aero, spam stone until aero is about to run out (<3s) and then reapply aero

Refreshing too early is not damage efficient as you're cutting off the dot before all of its damage is applied. You can get more through spamming stone until aero is nearly expired.
i see, thanks!
@uncut elbow do this on ur cmd
on aether?
im trying to open a scaevan accesory coffer but it says i cant because i cant own 2 of the same unique items and i never opened one before
on aether, primal and crystal
thats alot
at least i got 204 on primal
hmm
should i choose primal then?
the datacenters for each region are all in the same physical location so any of the 3 should give you equivalent ping
How would one go about unlocking diamond ex now? I've tried queuing for ruby but nobody seems to ever run that. Am I just locked out of doing that chestline now? Do I have to find enough people to get a full party manually?
i assume you are in Oceania, you could go japan DC. theres also an Oceanic DC opening up in the future
@whole waspiam from uruguay 😦

my ping to NA is also 200+ms but im literally on the other side of the planet
drill straight down in NYC and it'll be my country
Only in theory. Routing can be kinda arbitrary and it depends on a lot more than just physical distance
What’s the purpose of Palace of the Dead? Meaning why do people do it?
exclusive items, challenege and for alt job leveling
Mainly the last one
if they are leveling, they mostly spam the same 10 floors. if they are going for the challenge, they'll go to 200
So if someone is using palace of the dead to level their alt jobs, from what level to what level is this efficient?
i cant open a coffer with accesories because i have an unique item fo the same type that i cant find anyone know how to fix it?
to 61 actually. then they go to HoH for 61 - 71
So even though the party I was assigned with cleared steps of faith for the first time, it was still kinda difficult for me since it was my first time doing the mission in general. Does anyone have tips on how to make it easier to go though next time?
Check your belts
It's always the belts
i removed belt and put it in saddlebag
When do you start getting quest for mounts?
!faq mounts
'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.
Top half
IIRC with the preorder earring dungeons are a lot more beneficial than potd/hoh though
lvl 20 icic
I honestly wouldn't worry about it
You'll only ever see it again in trial roulette and its hard to actually lose
.
Dungeons are flat out better, but not if your ques are years long
preorder earrings applies to DoH/DoL right?
no
@faint flare trying to open a scaevan coffer and i already got rid of all the items with scaevan in the name and put them on my chocobo
does that not count
it says DoW/DoM equipable only
Im blind rip
Considering its for mob kills... no
Was hoping to burn the DoH classes I never...use..
Are the ARR relic weapons the only ones with the large materia requirement? trying to decide what to do with my leftover materia, but will keep them if other expac relics need them.
Note that you don't unlock the quest once you hit lvl 20. You still have to do all the MSQs up to that point
29+ minute dps queue for the primal ||Shrinyu|| in Stormblood?... I never switched to Scholar quicker than that.
that didnt work either
Ah, okay! I wasn't sure if it would come back up at some point, so thank you!
It still went pretty well, although it was nerve racking.
DoH/DoL have access to massive xp sources like ishgardian restoration and manuals so the ring not affecting them isn't too noticeable
And leves
this is so frustrating im about to sell every fking item i have
this shouldnt even be a thing
check your belts
also that ^
Needed to remember it's contents
because it's unique
It's unique and it's what the coffer gives you

They haven't updated the coffers on the rings
the coffer gives u an item that isnt named the same
well thats fking usefull to know
yes because back when the job boosts were updated to 70, they had to use a different ring
as the poetics rings were still unique back then
How do i get the mameteer title
They were made before the poetic rings were sill unique
they simply haven't updated it
i cant do temple leves till 50 iirc. Is ishgardian restoration an option pre..20?
you need 30 follow type minions
Ive been doing ixal quests to 30
follow type?
Ishgard restoration starts at 10/20
follow types are usually called like "wind-up"
For gathering/crafting respectively
I do have Ishgardian restoration unlocked just..never tried it yet.
Ah, I see
so regular minions don't count?
no
basically if it says "obedient" as its behavior type, it should count as a "follow" type
@fiery ginkgo
The premise is rather simple. You gather materials in a special area, use those to make collectibles, and trade them in for big XP and skybuilder tokens (which can be traded for mounts and other things)
How much is an extra retainer per month?
and this is feasible in low level compared to failing HQ repeatedly in Ixal quests?
2$ per month
per retainer, i should add
so if you want to hire 2 extra retainers, it'll be 4$ a mo ontop of your sub, etc
It is very much feasible to do with a low level DoH/DoL. You can start at lvl 10/20 and you should be able up get the crafts done (not with 100% quality but that isn't necessary)
can you save one item with 2 diff colors in glamour?
using glamour plates, yes
Preciate the help. Gives me motivation that I'll actually be able to finally train goldsmithing and have a reason to...
Leveling GSM also has the benefit that you can repair some jewelry
Its kinda why Im training DoH. Weaver/GSM seems nice to not be bothered repairing my gear.
If you repair stuff yourself the durability can also be overstacked up to 200%, over the 100% a mender would do
My DoL is looking great though. Stormblood made hitting 75s a breeze
that means double the time before I queue and go "Oh I forgot to repair this gear"
For the ShB relic, which is the "One time" step, The void ark / rabanastre, or DB?
Ah true
the void ark/raba step
Oh weird
so i can have the same item in 2 different glamour plates with diff color? asking befoire i commit to buying the dye
yes
tyty
Personally I preferred doing facet crafting and leve quests for 70-80 over restoration because at that point the diadem gathering becomes ridiculous imo
Thanks kael
How necessary it is to buy more retainer if I plan to have all my crafter/gatherer up to 80 ?
not necessary
Not much unless you hoard lots of materials.
I only have one extra retainer due to it functioning as a seasonal furniture hoard stash
pretty much the same for me, but for leveling gear
There aren't a lot of resources you would want to stockpile anyway. Most stuff isn't timed and, unless you want to craft literally everything, you only have to gather a small subset of those timed nodes @GuiltyHollow#1025
I will endure
What about ventures?
extra retainers for ventures are pretty nice
any new guesses on when story skips/lvl boosts will go on sale
but its entirely up to you if you think having more for ventures is worth
how much raw emotions does castrum drops?
With this I just give it any stats?
yeah just give it whatever since its just for glam
the important thing is that you need to max the 240 points
if you wanna give it legit stats, focus on crit/dh
also do want to note that after you've put in 120 points, you get a small cutscene
and then you'll have a chance to proc bonus points whenever you put in the sand
How would one go about unlocking diamond ex now? I've tried queuing for ruby but nobody seems to ever run that. Am I just locked out of doing that questline now? Do I have to find enough people to get a full party manually?
Just keep waiting or set up a pf for first time bonus
do i need to do this for bozja?
Yes
How many retainers can one have?
10
2 for free, 7 from mogstation subscriptions, and 1 from premium companion app subscription
Oh.. how much is the premium companion thing?
$5 a month
Yikes
It also doubles chocobo bag storage
Thanks for the answer

Guys, what is the difference between the grand companys?
!faq grandcompany
Which Grand Company should I choose?
The only differences between the three Grand Companies are the looks of the equipment and where they're located. The story doesn't change in regards to the Grand Company you choose beside the quest that comes after "The Company You Keep". Here is a link leading to sample sets from each of the Grand Companies:
How do I get Grand Company Seals?
You can get more seals mainly by completing your Grand Company Hunting Log (Go to the Hunting Log and click on the GC icon), completing FATEs, and turning in crafted/gathered items to the Personnel Officer if you have crafting or gathering classes unlocked. Once you are Sergeant 2nd Class you can turn in Pink/Green/Blue-rarity gear in exchange for more seals.
pick your favourite city or favourite colour
Oh.
how do i feed my chocobo a certain quanity of fruit
cuz in my inventory it just has all the fruit grouped
and im worried if i click feed it will feed all, does it do that?
it does one at a time
if you are trying to change the birds color then dont worry it feeds one at a time
have anyone else here been experiencing connectivity issues on the coeurl server?
So I need to go to the Tam-Tara deepcraft for my Blue Mage quest, but the Duty Finder won't let me start it. Any reason why?
you have to set it to undersized party
you have to go in either with a full premade group or via undersized party
ok cool thanks @pure zenith
Alright, got it
Is there no matchmaking for undersized party? I selected it and I went in alone
ah
most people doing their dailies just want to get in and out as quickly as possible
and when it comes to d/c people, most give them like 5minutes to reconnect after that can initiate a vote kick on them so you can try and get a replacement
Jeez, the blue mage spell comes from the final boss. I don't think I can solo this
Undersized Party removes the item level, level sync and party size requirements
You can
Maybe
what are the faster raids people do for the current relic steps?
if not PF is an option. Im sure you'll find some people/other blue mages to help
i have 1 person offline, 1 person ragequit (i think), and 1 person afk rn lmao
1/3 floor
just sitting in the instance lmao
excuse me i need help with my map situation
Nope, I died to the first 2 enemies, lol
im stuck at this one that wont let me speak to him. What am i suppose to do on this quest?
there is an earring in ur inventory
put it on
for alex/omega/eden?
put on the earrings called "voice of the just"
Put the earring on
i cant fix my map and its doing this and wont fix itself
THANK YOUUUU
its so weird seeing the Uldah questline lol
you can also leave the dungeon with no penalty if someone else left by the by, so you can requeue @topaz vine
oh ok
ty
I'm not sure why I can't enter regular matchmaking as Blue Mage. Doesn't it count as Disciple of Magic?
i accidently started off by feeding my chocobo the wrong fruit...
No
uhh how do i leave my party lol
Blue Mage is a limited job
limited job excluded
Blue mage= limited job
press U to open the duty menu, and select "leave"
Ah
can anyone help me with my map problem
doesnt fix itself or nothing keeps doing that
looks like you just need to scroll in to zoom the map back in
You can't enter regular queues as Blue Mage because the job is designed for solo play and is incredibly overpowered in level synced content
tried doesnt fix
Blue mage is not a normal job.
So I need to beat Deepcroft as a prerequisite for the level 20 quest, and I can't kill a single enemy. Fun.
Just one fruit wrong shouldn’t mess it up if you’re starting from yellow
Do you have any BLU skills
It's its own side content. Its own separate game.
What's that?
Just do the rest of the fruit in the order and fix it in the next cycle if needed
it is desert yellow im trying to get it to ice blue
Then that's why
what is the website that has optimized rotations for all classes, detailed guides on bosses etc?
will he still turn ice blue?
You have to manually learn blue magic spells.
!faq balance
instead of starting with the berry i accidently started with plum
What level is your BLU
22
Oh you're solo leveling it aren't you
Yeah
i can come over if youre in Aether DC
I'm in Crystal
can anyone help me fix my map though
Have you tried clicking it THEN scrolling it.
How do I switch for@ marauder to warrior? I already got the quest that’s says I can
If I could I'd send you an invite to Blue Academy
Job stone
black border
Did you beat ALL of the Marauder class quests AND the MSQ quest Sylph Management (Lv. 20 btw)?
Have u tried restarting game after disabling the map lock?
hi, maximising dps by dealing damage at the rear/flank of the enemy doesnt mean i literally have to hit them from behind right? do i have to go on the arrows that are around the circle when the target is selected? i dont get it
yes
rear is behind, flank is the sides
!faq positionals
i know but
ive tried restarting reinstalling resetting ui
Look at the donut below the target youre attacking
ill read that ty
Also you didnt disable it since the last picture you showed us wtf man?
You didnt disable the hecking map lock
No, its enabled there
Now drag
i have
tbh disabling the map lock doesnt really do anything :\ i tried
not sure whats up with that
it re enables itself
is this required for bozja?
Is there an in-game party finder I can use to do this blue mage quest?
every time
you need to do the whole alliance raid series
The ENTIRE raid series is required.
oh
yes you need to complete up until the final quest "the city of lost angels"
Simple
yes
Are you able to move the map itself around within the borders of the display
what drag it raround etc
it snaps back to your position when you let go right>
is there a different voice for me to change? such as other language??
you mean for npcs during cutscene?
yeah
Ok listen, so this is a feature
The map centers on you when you open it
yes i know that
You can easily drag it
can squadron member lv60 glam with lv80 gear?
System > System Config > Other Settings > Cutscene Audio
You can't move your map around?
It cannot be disabled
Cuz its a way for players to know for sure where they are when they open the map;they'd be on the center.
Instead of having to look around for your icon
ty~~~
Simple you're at the bottom of that area and zoomed all the way out
i have it doesnt help
nope goes back to how it was
Go to a different area just to see if anything changes with your map issues
Ok was it always like this?
It resets everytime you close it THAT is the point of the feature
Is there any good universal gear (relevant stats for all the classes) to get the base classes from 1-30 without having to have 5 sets of gear at various levelling breakpoints?
its automatic
you cant change it
either keep it open or dont close it
i just realized thats the same thing but
YES
then i cant see and my map just keeps doing that
Everytime you close it and open it, it recenters to you, so you dont have to look around for your icon
and its half black bordered and half map
You just drag?
Like just drag
To see what u gotta see
or make your map smaller
Zoom in
yeah then the drag does nothing and its annoying and i zoom in and then i cant see
The drag does stuff, it just resets everytime you close it
@tired canyon in this pic right here you showed us that dragging does do stuff
Yes
which i dont want
Yes, cuz you're on the edge
i want it full screen like that every time
The map... CENTERS TO YOU
So you can see where you are
Without having to look for your icon
you can untick the option to make the map center on character
ive never had that happen it normally always shows full map and centers fine not cut off and center
It resets back when you close and open it
Cuz its fully zoomed out
What is the map gonna do? Show you zones that dont exist?
What was the problem with keeping the map open?
So in Praetorium, when the main tank is leading mobs around, that’s with provoke, isn’t it?
They don't have a problem
Of course there are gonna be blank areas
nope
No
shield lob and AOE
They do it so seamlessly.
provoke is not used on mobs bc the ranged attack already has like 9000 aggro in it
its like the ingame map is too small or something for my resolution
Just ABC lmao that's how
Right click, increase size ratio
To like 160% if you want to
The map isn't too small. It just doesn't perfectly fit into the dimensions of the map window so instead of distorting the map it keeps a border at one side
Like letterboxing or a cinematic border
so how do i fix the dimensions
iirc map scale is tied to resolution
There is no default. Some maps are bigger than others
for high lv such as lv 60 and waiting for que in dungeon
i should do POTD ?
or there a better route
If your queue is longer than 15 minutes you're better off doing potd/hoh
You can't do PotD while in queue
But don't do roulettes more than once a day
!roulette
Instead try to queue for your highest level dungeon
time elaped is a lie
whats the roulette order for leveling?
Roulette order?
exp wise
msq/leveling/alliance are generally the top 3
i notics that Roulette gives less xp than highest dungeon
Frontline is pretty decent, trial is ok exp but usually fast so makes up for it
normal raid/50-70 roulette aren't really that great for exp
i always get 2m exp on Frontline
but its not available
24h
players only play it when reset
frontline roulette is one of the ones you really want to queue during prime time
since that's generally when people are going to queue for it
level crafters/gatherers, do gold saucer mini games
or you can get friends to queue with you
You can also do potd/hoh instead of queueing
for HW aare you expected to materia meld or is i110 stuff good enough
i cant level anymore xD
oh damn did you level all of them?
no still
you're not expected to meld until you're at 80

ah ok great
thanks for the help
ive all but abandoned summoner for scholar at this point lmao
Scholar is the best anyway 
isnt it default, left click+drag to move your camera?
Buy i130 Ironworks
oh right yeah
Is there a way to make the Battle Log only show my own incoming/outgoing damage and healing?
Because it's kind of useless outside of target dummy attacking and even then...
Whenever I go into it for specifics on what killed me, the text box is being obliterated by 7 other people
honestly kinda sad how everyone is clueless with my map issue when alot have had the same issue im having
from what ive looked up online
What's the issue? You can click and move and scroll the map around inside the window
You can drag the window from the bottom right corner to make it bigger
^
There really isn't an "issue"
just zoom in and out, lol
it's just how the map works
ive tried that and it seems to mess with it more
i have old photos of where my map use to be normal now its not since it has border crap
Yeah I really don't understand what the "issue" is I must say
this is a old photo compared to now
You'll be tweaking the map window constantly in ffxiv because 1.0 was a bad game
We're clueless because there's no issue
from today when i started having issues
I agree with you that it's janky. But that's the way it is
A lot of the game UI and UX is kinda shit tbh
They did what they could from 1.0
Just move around and the border should disappear
the UI is perfectly fine
it reappears when you click on the map and make it the active window again
nothing has changed
doesnt feel fine at all and i know that im not saying it is issue and ive tried then border reappears second i close map
after dragging it
yes it's always been like that
Wish they could just make the minimap zoom out more
The map interface buttons will always apear when you open the map
just resize the window to fit the dimension of the map?? idk what else to say to you dude
but will disappear when you start moving.
The functionality of the map has not changed at all in the last few patches.
i cant resize the window i only can resize so far
Have you considered not closing the map all the time? Because that'll recenter it
then im cut off
Yes, there is a limit to how far you can resize.
what am i supposed to do when im lvl 16 with a new class, completed hunting log and msq is at lvl 23 so idk how to lvl? just dungeons?

So I still don't understand what the problem is
Dungeons
More specifically
mh okay tyvm
Tam-Tara Deepcroft
I've forgotten, do I need my Bozja relic weapon equipped to be able to obtain memories or does it just need to be in my Armory Chest/Inventory?
Neither
you just need the quest active
hold up, is the problem that the icons on the map reappear when you stop moving?
np, you can stuff them in a retainer or your saddlbag or whatevs but do note to augment it you need it in your inventory to complete the quest
You can disable that in Character Configuration > UI Settings > Restore Map When Not Moving > select "No" from the drop-down menu
what i have circled
no this is the issue and im trying to get it so it shows whole map
is issue
on every map it cuts it off and i have then its unseeable
That's all it takes
my map
That's the edge of the map
There is no issue there
There is no more map there
i vaguely remember some google document thing guide for PVP/TheFeast, does anyone have a link to it?
there is no issue and nothing has changed
I’m camping for 7 hours and I’m beginning to lose hope. How will a person ever get a house
That's just you being zoomed out on a small area
this is not #rants
never was like that before till today ive never had that happen
go there if you want to complain about housing
it has always been like that, always.
Literally has always been like this.
You're simply zoomed out and near the edge of the map, therefore you see that.
and i was zoomed out like that fine ever since i started on 12/5/2021
There is a border on your borderless map
This is how it has always been.
