Grate another expansion
Great*
The misspelling was on purpose

we dont grate the salt rock here. we lick it. ishgardian customs, remember?
Ehhh
Has anyone ever found a resolution to this?
Probably not
whats like the cheapest district for housing, lavender beds?
It's been a problem for over 6 years now
They're all equal griz
But you might find better luck getting a house in the goblet
Y the goblet
Less people wanna be there
Wasn't that originally intended for ShB?
why don't people like the goblet?
its ugly
It's cool
Yeah it just doesn't have a lot going for it visually tbh. Gridania is great get outta here
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Every place looks cool
Not only is the Goblet a sandstone crapshoot its also a fucking maze of stairs and tunnels.
i like the mist the most
Regardless, lavender beds and mists are far more visually appealing to a lot of people
i like foresty areas so i like lavender beds
Don't @ me
:D
no
goblet has grown on me a bit because of the pool in the middle
i wanna get an apartment
I like every part of the game
if i sell my fat cat i will have enough
depends how much you sell it for
Free company rooms are 300k
yeahhhh but my FC is in lavender beds
There is nothing that I don't like about the game
i guess its cool
Same size as an apartment
how does fc room work
same as an apartment
u get an actual room in the house?
Near the back wall of your FC building, you'll see a door, and just follow the menus to buy a room
as in? its like seperate
Sure
just pray to god you don't get booted from that FC.
as in you click on the door in your fc's house and it teleports you to your apartment room
yes
i might just do that ig
but i might switch FC so like thats why i kinda just want my own apart
i should level up my crafter huh
Or just do main story
Can the gyr abanya plait hairstyles (from this moogle event) be worn by viera's?
here's to ohping male Viera can wear the reaper headwear.
Hey I’ve forgotten where my apt is in game any fast way to find?
The teleportation menu.
They won't
welp, then back to Lala I will go.
Where in teleportation?
Housing will be right at the top of the first window
Sorry it’s been so long any chance I can get a picture for reference not seeing it :/
Gotchaaaa tyvm
As a mentor, if I try to join the NN but can't, it means it's full right?
It says "Novice Network auto-join is now on." and nothing else
Yes
Sad
How do you usually farm for those treasure maps?
I farm gil then buy off MB
hey guys, how is the gunbreaker sfx now? i remember reading news on 5.00 and 5.01 sfx changed and people didnt like it, or mixed reactions
Treasure maps on the market board?
Yeah
Maps are also gatherable
Usually they come randomly when you gather them
I just sell them immediately after gathering lol
Then buy some if I ever want to join a map farm party
they didnt change it back, but there is a mod to change it back to 5.0 version
Oh cause I’m curious about the crescent pajama set but one of the materials is from treasure hunt
its fine either way, i personally prefer the original (sounds sharper)
oh nice, are mods safe to use?
stuff thats purely client-side like textures and reshade, yeah pretty much
Can you do level 50 dungeons unsync solo as a level 80 tank?
🍡
what's the easiest role for unsyncing old dungeons? dps?
!faq restedexp
'Why does my EXP bar have some blue or faded yellow in it?'
That's Rested Experience, which is an extra source of bonus experience shared between all of your classes. You gradually earn this while inside a sanctuary (town or area with a major aetheryte), regardless of whether you're online or not. Sanctuaries are also indicated with a crescent moon icon near your experience bar.
'How much of a boost is it?'
The most amount of rested experience you can have at once is one and a half levels of experience. That means that lower level jobs use up the rested experience faster than higher level jobs do.
Ahhh
dps is faster because higher damage but tank is easiest, especially pld or war since they both have good sustain
anything can do 50 unsynced at 80 but some 60 dungeons are tougher on dps, 70 is basically pld only
or rdm, maybe healer
Hrm. I should probably prep a mug of tea ahead my next primal fight hehe
Warriors can do quite a bit now with self targeting nascent
sry i am newbie here want to play the game, is the game must subcriptionevery month or only one subcription is enough?
You can pause it whenever you want
Lot of folks play the base game + all the expacs, then unsub for a while and resub when new content drops every few months or when the next expac drops
man iceheart is such a perfect character
You can pay upfront for 6 months
Once you have bought the game, you can't log in unless you are subscribed
your subscription status must always be active in order to log in
I will say Squeenix has been quite generous in letting you play through A Realm Reborn + Heavenward (1st expac) as part of teh trial
so if i subscribed in this month in next month non subscribed i cant log in right?
Correct
okay thank you for anwsering my question hope god bless you all
What's the best approach for outfitting an Airship once you reach rank 50? Do you just go with all rank 50 components or what's the best strat? My FC has a couple rank 50s that have been idle a minute and trying to get back to sending them out.

Also, do you still need a party to do the workshop crafting?
uh, asked in the wrong channel, but:
What lost actions should I be running as nin?
does anyone know what this symbol means on recent transactions of this item??? I don't believe I've ever seen it before and I can't find it on any other item.
Does it mean that you already own it in glamour dresser?
it can't be, I just looked at other items I know I have..
It was bought from a mannequin, inside player housing
ooooh!
Avoids tax that way
irregular tomestones of pageantry, are they rare or should i not worry about spending them? currently only lvl 54 with my pal so extremely new.
unlike other tomestones, they're going to vanish or not be able to be used on June 14th? I think
so spend them!
oh damn
Do BLM's use crit materia? or should i go for spell speed?
i have 88 only currently
the earrings and that 1 tomestone moogle minion can't be got anywhere else, same with the 100 tomestone ring for glamour, the rest you can still eventually get without the event
i'd priortize the hairstyles since they'll probably eventually bounce back up in price once the event is over
but earrings and moogle minion first! they're cheap and only from the event!
i dont see the moogle minion on the list. am i blind?
Taoist Moogle
if you want to farm tomestones at your level, your best off doing frontline when your server has short pvp times(Normally in the afternoon/evening), or praetorium
yw!
doesn't sound too bad. still haven't tried out pvp yet. can't see any reason not to try! thanks so much for the help!!!
yw!
you may want to get the kamuy mounts too! they can be annoying to farm, and you won't be able to farm them until like stormblood expansion
they're basically glowly wolf mounts
Getting some BLU skills for doing the relic farm. Are there any skills obtainable via solo that can help farm FATEs quickly?
I just finished ARR's MQ, it seems like poetic is the best source of gear for me right now, but how do I farm those poetic tomestone? do I go to unlock dungeon/roulette or just do MQ roulette?
Doing level 50/60/70.... stuff. MSQ roullete is a massive blap once per day. Levelling roulette in a 50+. There's a ton of ways.
First time bonus for dungeons and trials is a huge source too (and you don't even have to be the first timer)
Also Trail and Normal Raid roulette gives some good Poetic
But normal raid is unlocked at lv 60
If you haven't finished msq yet, it is the best source of gear that is relevant to you
ram's voice and ultravibration, choco meteor
but i'd suggest PF up and get primal spells and missile
Yea... server p quiet atm
What about doing Astral MSQ? does it give Poetic in the process?
the quests themselves don't, but the instances do
Ah, I see, Thanks for the help guys!
it seems like this game has downtime every other week
will we be getting any more like big updates before end walker?>
5.57 and 5.58 but they aren’t “big”
This is basically the longest downtime the game will have, pre expansion patch
There will be a few in game events, but no real new content until ew
anyone know where the BLU guy is
make it rain in july right
Make it rain, FFXv event, I think there's at least one more
FFXV event's in September 9th.
If you haven't even unlocked the class, it starts in Limsa.
If you have, go to where Ul'dah's Calamity Savager is... then look behind you.
Can you check your mettle outside a Save The Queen instance?
Do bitter memories spwn from every fate in Bozja?
does this game have cool holiday stuff like christmas halloween, or are they all like the easter one where its just a little decoration and a new item or two
yeah
Yes. We do. They're great.
If you need the Ul’dah blu location, closest aether shard is miner guild believe
There's generally a short quest line
That does some interesting world and character building
Usually the rewards are about the same as Easter,a themed gear set or mount and some housing stuff
Did they remove hippogryph skin from ventures?
is this supposed to not move at all until the sub period runs out or w/e
i remember there used to be a countdown when I bought CE
It's paid days, not elapsed
If you have a recurring payment set up it won't list remaining days
ah, so it only appears with crysta sub? I see, thanks
Is Coils soloable unsynched? Wanna do it for the story
were there more ShB alliance raid epilogue weekly quests this week?
at 70 and above yes generally
cool
a couple fights are tough solo, turn 9 specifically
bc it has a mechanic that basically requires at least 2-3 people
(separating adds)
you can solo turn 9 easily now
was doable at i430
im sure its doable i just struggled with it
i fiddled with it last week, you can just hold burst until after meteor/add phase
then just nuke her before the ice/fire mechanic
found a cool spreadsheet of all the patch content, gonna go through the story ones, so this one came up firrsst
link? 
ty ty 
wheres the guy where i start the diamond weapon quest line for cloud deck?
the lochs
!quest duty in the sky with diamond
The Resistance troops have received intriguing information from Werlyt.
Resistance officer
The Lochs (X: 11.38 Y: 22.53)
Severa
Terncliff (X: 5.85 Y: 5.69)
In Memory
Forever at Your Side
Do items you have for sale on the market stay there after maintanence?
for anima light farming do you need to be the class that you're doing the anima weapon for?
ive done 5.55 tho
if you're talkign about items your retainers are selling then yes
you might have started it and dropped the quest somewhere
on a different step
usng mage's balled to reset bloodletter is rng ?
did you talk to the dude to go to the area
yes bard is the rng job
with mch too ?
i think usually i see steppes and fringes
mch has no rng
what
Wait its ALL gone?
Alright. Thanks friend. Ooof. solo-ing fates is p hard
dnc has a lot but less than bard
cant tank
yes
still a fun job though
Time to level MCH.
very spammy but unga bunga brain
i like it
hypercharge feels like fast inner release/delirium
time to level mch
try putting up a PF/looking at PF
a lot of times you'll be able to find people
Aite. Though i think maint starting soon, right?
lol i sometimes feel like the only person that loves rng
yeah right now might not be the best time
45 minute to start maint ?
Yes
😫
Not sure how else to phrase this. But seeing how it's about 30 minutes before server goes into MT, should I prioritize questing or doing my daily roulette?
probably questing, daily roulette is not really necessary until later imo, but if you dont mind being overleved on msq then do that
kk
eos vs selene?
is i420 matria max ?
materia viii is max yes
okay i'll pick the better bright glowing ball of color
with a crafter yes you can extract materia but it isnt 100% i think
im not sure, not a crafter lol
its ok
you can retrieve materia from spiritbonded gear
which is just free materia
and resets spiritbond
im still lv 70 with i400 should i bother buying materia
well done
just started this game a week ago. what is the endgame progression like? is it a gear grind, or is it a once and done after you learn and manage to clear dungeons? playing one class gets boring very quickly, but i dont want to invest into other roles if it takes too much time just to get them started.
gear grind, but once you find one job you like it gets wayy more fun at 80
i could play drg forever
or gnb
The recommended way to grab Timeworn Artifacts is just 15 runs of DR right?
yep 
i just started heavensward on the free trial but gnb's one of the classes im gonna try after subbing 👀
how to unlock it
Materia grades 6 and lower can be removed safely 100% of the time. Removing grade 7 is I think 70% success rate? Grade 8 is 40% success rate. Failing means the materia breaks. You don't need a crafter leveled to remove materia. You do, however, need to have basic melding unlocked which is at the small goblin camp north of the aetheryte camp in Central Thanalan.
i have to talk to master matria to apply one?
If you don't have a crafter to level, then yes, you need a Materia Melder NPC to do it for you.
also what matria monk needs
There are NPC who can meld materia but overmelding needs 70+ crafter
i dont have a lv 70 crafter job
You can request from other players too
Which kind you need depends on the gear piece. But for the most part you want Critical Hit or Direct Hit materia. Crit is much more important.
all my gear has 2 matria slot
If you're not level 80, you don't have to worry about materia
im not a lv 80 yet
Then don't bother.
no it doesnt
You'll upgrade your gear so often, it won't matter no
i see thanks
Does support fix game code issues where it says its alrwady registered but its not?
i just made a character
well not just, but about 4 hrs or so ago
and it says that there's no characters on the service account when I try to log into the lodestone
thanks for the help
is there a way for me to turn off "but materia blah blah could not be restored"?
Register your gear set again.
save your gearset
Refresh your gearset
Oh whoops
I'm too slow T-T
Lodestone is slow to update. It takes at least a day.
@prisma star it may take a while to update the lodestone
I see. I was worried for a sec, but thanks for telling me

I'm not 100% on this but it couldn't hurt to contact them in regards to product key issues.
She just ended up buying the game
who do I have to talk to to unlock ifrit on hard
minfilia in the waking sands
there’s 3 primal quests and you need to do all 3 of them to continue msq
ifrit hard, titan hard, and garuda hard
ooh
i assume i don't get rewards if i enter that recruitment code after i purchase the subscription
nope
you need to enter the code during the 30 free days
after buying the game
but before paying your first subscription
30 free days? like, the ones that come with the game right?
yeah
It's really not difficult to get secondary classes into perfectly usable gear at the level cap
All content can be completed in crafted gear, which is literally just a market visit
BiS gear is a grind but is in no way a necessity
according to the announcement, the maintenance will be 5 hours?
Four hours
Hotfixes can potentially finish early btw. Don't count on it but it is a possibility
What type of hotfixes?
Shoudl I set Revenant Toll as my favored destination for a while?
wow I'm mid way MSQ fight... what is the hotfix about?
its a hotfix

They don't often tell us what is getting fixed until afterwards but it's probably something in the Known Issues list from the previous patch notes.
so there's no way i can turn it off so i don't have to refresh all 8 DoH gearsets when i get new equipment
what are the 5.55 hotfixes
how longs the maintenance for
Looks like fix for PS5 users.
No way to know for sure what's getting fixed until they make a post on Lodestone about it. It's listed for four hours.
Yeah but could be highly this. https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/437233-PlayStation®5-Login-Issue-(May-27)
This is Producer and Director Naoki Yoshida.
We have discovered an issue affecting the PlayStation®5 version whereby logging out in certain areas and attempting to log in with the same character results in the player being stuck on the loading screen. We wish to offer our sincerest apologies for the inconvenience this has caused.
We are pr...
You always have to update your gearset after you get new gear or meld materia. I don't think there's a button or option to disable that.
Retainer level is my job level minus 5?
no
Should be up to your level
you have to level it manually
Oh okay.
and the cap is the same as your current job level
If your bard is level 65,and your retainer is a bard, it can level up to 65
you need to send your retainer out on ventures to gain exp
So it is wise to hire them when I am 80?
no, they'll start at lvl 1
Oh I see
As you level up, their maximum level goes up as well
^ they can't level past you in a particular class
I have no gathering or crafting job. Should I just hire 2 retainers with disciple of war?
Retainers can't be crafters but yeah sure
Yo ppl. Have a few questions as a new player who just started playing:
- Can i play as a Dark Knight with a trial version of the game?
- Is there any difference between steam and launcher versions of the game? Like... I've downloaded a non-steam version with the launcher, but im thinking of moving onto the steam and probably buying the game there.
yes, and steam just has to handle everything through steam
so you cant take advantage of non-steam sales for example
like the one right now
Great chance to buy ff14. Big sale now.
60% discount only applies to windows launcher, not steam, i think
so if you want to save use windows launcher lol
FYI I bought 1 day before this sale. Don't be like me. 😭
Okay. thanks guys.
Once you buy steam, you have to stick with steam in the future expansions and etc.
But like... If i'll buy a non-steam version - will i be able to somehow play on steam?
Oh okay
no, cant switch to steam if you do non steam
steam just launches the launcher so imo an unnecessary middleman
but its preference
Only benefits steam has over none-steam is payment options I think.
steam sales are very unpredictable so it's why we generally recommend players to stick to the windows launcher if you're new
So it doesn't really matter what version you'll choose and everyone just plays on one that they bought on sale, right?
Okay. got it. thanks.
yeah, steam's benefit is that you can pay in your own currency if it's not supported by square enix
everyone plays together yes
ffxiv is cross platform
Even ps4,5 users play with PC USERS
i'm not sure if it'll work if you started on steam free trial and purchase complete edition from the square enix store on sale
anyone can confirm?
That I am curious to know too.
Nah, I meant some sort of an issues people might have if they are playing on "bad" platform and it's way better to stick on the right one from the very beginning. Well, seems like there is none.
if you own the base game on pc you definitely cannot purchase new expansions on steam, and vice versa
the only real draw-back is that steam doesn't put ffxiv on sale often
^
and if you have to move abroad at some point, you may be locked out of your account
since your steam region needs to match your square enix account region
I was told non-steam version goes on sale a lot more often
it does
i prefer to only stick to windows version since you still have to do all account management through square enix's website
But again with steam you can use steam wallet for payment.
mogstation
the steam version is basically playing the windows version but with extra steps
yeah, if you already use steam and steam wallet for other games, it may be more convenient for you
^ I say the windows is still better than steam simply because you dont have to deal with the 2 accounts for one game
Your account character is cross-platform, if you are on trial from Steam as long you haven't yet bought a copy. If you go for standalone (recommended) you start from there and stick to non-Steam version.
You can always add Steam version if you want (just wasting money) lol.
or at least two account management platforms for one game
So now then im thinking about it... As you guys said, i can go and play dark knight even on the trial version of the game. So how exactly does it work? I'll have to complete some sort of a quest when i'll be a proper level and play with a 2h-sword to be a different class?
drk is locked behind story progression
You can buy Mac, PS, Steam, Windows all 4 platforms if you want. If you have the money lol
you need to finish the base game and reach the first city in the next expansion
the drk unlock quest is lvl 50, but the class starts at lvl 30
3am PDT
there are no prerequisites for picking up drk except msq progression and your current lvl
use !maint in #kupo-bot-spam
you play through the story until you unlock heavensward main city, there you will find the npc that starts the dark knight questline. He gives you a starting weapon, equipping it makes you a dark knight. thas it
Ty bby
And how do I level after I'll turn into a drk? Just by grinding FATEs and dungeons? Or... sorry, like its kinda hard for me as a wow player to understand that theory behind multi-class feature.
Grinding dungeons, yes
dungeons and your daily roulette
Ok, thank you.
Fates are terrible exp and basically shouldn't be done without very specific reasons
your class is tied to your current weapon
so you switch classes by switching weapons
and your level/stats/everything switches to that class
Keep in mind that any combat class below your highest' level receives a 100% exp bonus
Yeah, I already know that, but never thought about playing something else besides DRK, rn im a paladin for obvious reasons.
Spam couple of dungeon, eat foods, get FC exp buff, wear the exp ring if you have one.
Which basically results in doing each dungeon like.. 2-3 times to level
because drk starts at lvl 30, you'll need to grind a little bit to catch the level up to the story quest level, if you intend to play the msq with it
it won't take too long if you're on a preferred server with the road to 70 exp buff
You can bang out 30-50 in a few hours.
Especially on a tank
Where dungeons are less a queue and more a "press this button to activate the enter dungeon button"
also just to help this out a bit, think of jobs like WoW specs, where they all have different weapons but are much much more different
except they have their own levels
Drk 30-50 is goddamn boring though, I will admit.
Hope you like pressing your single AOE button seven million times.
here's a breakdown for players coming from wow, if you haven't checked it out yet https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/wiki/wowrefugee/
r/ffxiv: A community for fans of Square Enix's popular MMORPG "Final Fantasy XIV Online", also known as FFXIV or FF14. The base game starts with "A …
yeah, early game combat is always a little slow and boring
Also you can't level like WoW, carry low level through high level dungeon for boosting exp. Everything is sync, just take your time.
that's to be expected
It's less of a slog on your first class because it's constantly broken up by msq
Not quite I should say, like pretty much every class ends up being something else. Archer, for example, from my POV looks like a bard or something after leveling to cap.
Classes themselves are basically just deprecated content
And I was expecting gladiator to be something like DPS class with a sword in both hands or something.
the class -> job system is outdated now
One should only really consider Jobs
in the early days of the game, they decided that there should be a degree of customisation for classes, so players had to level other classes to pick up cross-class skills for their job
What does DH and Det stands for?
the execution wasn't too good though, so they've basically ditched that concept
direct hit and determination
Thanks 👍
if i re-buy the game on steam can I move my account over still ? I read somewhere that you no longer can ?
yeah some of these it helps just having knowledge of other square enix games, like bards being usually archers and what not
Nope, it's a tank.
no, you'll need to make a new account to play on steam if you already own the game on windows
Healers are the green dps.
Sorry to interrupt but I need some help figuring out how to deal with alliance raids as a new player starting out as a PLD!
Got to up to WoD with more experienced guys MTing all the hard stuff, but aaagh now I'm kinda stuck. Some people are telling me to keep tank stance off and to not just aggro the bosses while other people will tell me to do the opposite. So, uh, what do we do here..
@manic rune I bought the game direct from Square ..... so I really cant buy it again from steam and load my account?
Btw, the reason i decided to play the game is the video I saw not so long ago where a bunch of people lined up in one of the cities after Kentaro Miura passed away. So they had a glowing weapons, is that some sort of an item quality or?..
no
item quality has nothing to do with glow
specific weapons just glow on their own
no, buying again from steam will create a new service account
Oh I see, thanks.
some glowing weapons are crafted, some are relics that require a long grind, and some are exclusive raid drops
ok thanks 😦 @manic rune
Everyone is DPS. some classes just have a side role.
Some boss mechanic requires each raid party at the highest threat. Boss will cast a total of 3 tank busters to the raid (1 per party) at the highest threat. If you're not at the top, your healer may eat your tank buster. 😒 Really depends on the fight but if you're not main tanking. turn on stance after 30sec into the fight.
if you're not confident in tanking the boss, leave your stance off and someone else will usually take aggro and tank it. however, after about 10 seconds into the fight, you should turn on your own tank stance. that way, if the main tank dies, you receive aggro instead of a poor dps
if there are 3 sets of mobs on the arena, that usually means you should have stance on and divide mobs among the three tanks
or if the alliances are divided
same goes for if you're on a separate platform with only your party there
which fights have these?
if at the beginning of a fight nobody has stance on, you should take initiative and turn on your stance + provoke
thank you so much!!
Like Nier raids.
puppets' bunker, tower, orbonne, etc
which boss
tower final boss sends aoe tankbusters on highest enmity per alliance
i think it defaults to tank unless the tank is dead? could be wrong
is it?
it targets the tank specifically, not highest enmity
ive tanked tower and never had my stance on
and it always targeted me
same with cid in orbonne
it's good practice to have stance on in case mt dies, anyway
@manic rune is it possible to move account from PC to Mac ?
what should one do if other tanks keep pulling the boss to the wrong spot / force it to face the wrong direction? i mean the answer is to just provoke it to the right position, but like, is fighting over who is MT just something that happens
yes, you'll need to purchase a mac license
provoke and pull over to the right position, but if they provoke back and drag it back into a bad place there's not much you can do
@austere igloo better to just let the boss be in a weird spot than fight over aggro
Are the memories for relic not guaranteed drops from the SB FATES?
youll give all the melees and even the healers an aneurysm if you keep switching aggro
@stable herald no theyr enot
Is leveling from 71-80 in Zadnor faster than grinding the highest level dungeon?
if another tank continuously provokes the boss from you, just let them have it bc it inconveniences the rest of the alliance if the boss keeps turning to face new targets
OH. Do ya know the rates?
generally yes
alright. Im just debating if it's worth it since I seem to be dying p fast as BLU
with a healer chocobo?
Cant tank many hits and my one trick is freeze and ultra vibe, that or meteor spam
Had it on tank stance, but he's squishy
I
i think for fates in the lochs it's better to go with regular dps bc you'll be synced over 70
blu doesn't have that luxury
especially if you're lacking in primal spells
Ok.
oogh ok. now i see why my last raid sort of fell apart. people couldnt agree on whether or not they were ok with the boss being mispositioned so the boss was just wiggling all over the place :O
So my only dps is meteor?
thank you for the advice everyone!!
well, my "optimal" dps
if your only dps skill is meteor then you'd probably do more damage on a regular combat class
@manic rune is it also possible to change name on the account?
I spam primal skills
mmhh maybe I might have misunderstood and assumed the tank bust targets highest enmity. I wonder last time I saw it lands on healer because the tank died.
but I was wondering about solo-ing Enkidu for missle
if the tank is dead then it targets the highest enmity
account name or character name?
a lotta people tell me to get missle.
character name can be changed for 10 usd iirc, as for account name you'll need to contact square enix support
@manic rune not sure....Im thinking to give my wife my account on Mac and I buy again on PC...so maybe both?
if you want to play together, you need two separate service accounts
yep
mac and windows cant be registered to the same account iirc
it can
oh
it's only windows and steam that has that restriction
they can, but you won't be able to log into both characters as the same time
Ill giuve her my service account...but she will want her name
cause she wont do the leveling and quests lmao
As far as I know, S-E doesn't like changing who owns an account. It'd be different if you changed your legal name and just needed to update that

If that service account is on mac for your wife. Yourself would need another new service account + PC license.
Yep..ill start again
square enix really doesn't like changing account names

maakes me good husband? lol
so she will be stuck with my in game name?
no, that can be changed
character name =/= account name
well the name everyone sees
eventually
for new players we recommend not skipping any levels or quests
Yeah scary, learning curve is deep if you just start at lvl80 fresh never played FFXIV
it makes for a smoother experience starting from level 1
due to not learning the game ?
It's not genshin impact... with couple of combo buttons
does the DLC unlocks you can buy unlock all side quests too?
the main story is also central to the game experience, so unless she's really sure she doesn't care about plot, skipping large portions of the story will make it very hard to understand the rest of the plot
DLC?
expansions
you can buy story and level skips associated with each expansion
but the bulk of the expansion's content is more story quests
and it makes the sidequests complete too?
skipping the story is pretty wasteful tbh
If you're just jumping to endgame... game may not be really for her. Sorry to say.
we're not supposed to make judgements here, only to give info
yeah i know not good..but need to consider options .. time hard too
an MMO is a big time investment after all
you can still play together even if you're not both at endgame
you can take her through dungeons and fight stuff on the overworld
she been on trial 2mths and just got her choco lmao

on your character?
on hers
wait, are both characters on the same account?
hey thanks for the chat ...been called for dinner 🙂
Will inventory and armory space be extended with endwalker?
no im on mine...but was looking to fast track hers
armoury space
thanks all ...be back later
Belts r going byebye so those slots r gonna be spread out
Belts?
Thats good to hear. Space is super tight right now and with 2 new classes, it would be a headache.
that's been a common request, but we don't have any confirmation as for glam dresser expansions
One can only hope
it's possible that they will consider adding more slots and glam plates, but we don't know at this point
So "i can't keep up with the space" isn't uncommon... alright.
I had to get rid of the least fav glam to make spaces lately.
From SE's point of view it's a data storage issue. 15 glamour plates for millions of players adds up quick in terms of information to be stored on the servers
get rid of glam pieces that you can get easily/you aren't currently using
You can take out the glam and store it elsewhere after you registered it to your glam plate.
for example i've gotten rid of some pieces that i thought could fit a theme for a halloween party or something
Can we mail items to our own chars? :v
Some pieces can be store in armoires
@exotic flume no
what is the minimum element level required to take part in the pagos boss nm
to get the item to drop, you have to be... 24, I believe?
This! I had a set of the new emperor's glam taking up space in a retainer. Including 2 of the rings lol.
feathers? from Penny? that is Pyros
got my levels mixed up. Pagos cap is 35, so 34 required
i c
i think pagos starts at 21 for snow queen. for nm's that drop something dont think there's as much a level cap for the drop as much as for xp reward. for loui yeah lv34+ for ice to drop
should be fine for pagos
will be able to attune to everything out of box (*if can walk past the dragon. key term walk)
what does a raid tier 'unlocking' mean?
no more restrictions on how much loot you can earn per week
(usually refering to dropped equipment. eden 9-12 norm is technically unlocked but the weapon token is still weekly locked)
^
how long till maintenance would be over approx?
probably a hour if it's just the ps5 players in limbo bug
ah thats too bad, only had an hour
more if they also wont let us have nice things (the zadnor 1v1 enrage exploit)
May. It isn't always a sure thing to end early.
What is the enrage exploit?
what are these levels and rank? Thank you for answering!
any1 have a link to patch notes?
So when Endwalker gets here, has it been shown where the entrance point for Ishgard wards are?
Eureka and bozja leveling system
Elemental level is your level in Eureka zones. Resistance rank is your rank in Save the Queen zones. Namely Bozja Southern Front and Zadnor.
I see thank you!
Thank you for answering!
Not yet. It might be in the Brume where the NPC is now? But that NPC mentions his spot isn't permanent early in the Restoration quests.
No patch notes this time as it's only hotfixes.
Still a patch to download and install but that's already ouy
Do we already know which event comes next?
Hi im like new to the game and character level 34. but i really want to do the Moogle event,but they all require level 70 and up.. do u know any that i can do for my level ? 😦
they dont all require 70+
Is it that upcoming schedule picture?
but the 30 event are only pvp?
Yes
No it's the other upcoming schedule picture
how did the old "level pugilist to get bard" system work?
How many times a day do you use this?
Very clever
Get the other job to 15 as the requirement
you needed level 15 in a semi-related class to unlock the job for the main class
do they give you the soul crystal like that?
Why are you on the questions and help channel answering questions when you’re being ironic and mocking people, seems kinda sad
Your job quest to get it unlocks after that
i got the digital complete collector's edition from the square store, since it was in discount, but when I try to apply the code in my mog station, I cannot...
can anyone help me?
Steam account or se account?
I mean...in lore it might not be he will be there for Ishgard restoration at least
oh sorry for whatever unforseen circumstances we cannot allow you to get a job until this random ass class is level 15
se account
It just didn't appear until you did it
And where on Mogstation are you putting it?
@shell geyser did you already own the base game
yeah, along with all expansions
thats why
How can i get the fat chocobo mount?
O_O
So we won’t get another event for 3 weeks after this one?
Cuz that's a code to own the games...
@gloomy niche buy the ARR collectors edition
I thought a new one would start right after the latest one ends
i thought it was only the code to the collector's stuff
But i already have the collecters edition
Upgrading them to special editions is a separate thing
Can i upgrade it?
complete collectors is the COMPLETE edition of the game
Oh
Make it rain is July 7
@gloomy niche you own the ARR collectors specifically?
No just July, we don't know the day
But that seems to be the next one on the schedule
Ähm i got the edition where you get the main game plus all addons
It says July 7 on schedule
no
Did they change it?
July, the 7th month
Ah DERP
Compare to the first event on the schedule
@gloomy niche whats the name/link exactly
Yes?
What's in the pins is all the information we have
Idk if I remember it wrong but the last time I actively played there was no long break between events
They just started right after the latest one ended
Do ads respawn on potd?

What do you mean is there a difference?
Troll free and offtopic free zone hmm
.
I meam this
thats not the collectors
Yes
that doesnt include any collectors edition items
Complete is game + dlc
Thats what i mesn
But is it possible to upgrade it
Ues
To get the things
I'll tell you, for money
You can upgrade to collectors editions any time for an additional fee
Usually $20 per expansion
Oooof
But it's gone on sale before
Can't remember which expansion thicc choco came with if you want to only buy that one
the ARR one
monk or ninja harder to play?
Thank you cerberus, I'll pet you on my next hades run
subjective
Monk has more movement, ninja seems more complicated than it actually is
Hey I'm new here
Can I get help for class?
I want a really violent and aggressif gamestyle
warrior
Huge I like it
although its pretty braindead and has low apm
monk is a bit more graceful imo
monk animations arent as flashy as the other classes
Oh ok ok it's fast and fluid?
yes its fast
very fast
also theres a video in the pins showing each class so you should probably watch that
Ok ok I will watch it
how long until maint is over?
1h45
thank you
Can gatherer/crafter making any gil before 80 ? Or the market of item before ShB already too saturated.
You can still make a fortune off the diadem
Scrib exchange right ?
I've made around 1m gils by reselling verified resources in my case
I tried some shirt and I think a song ? It doesn't seem to sell :(
Oh selling resources
How long will the maintenance last?
I might do that I don't have any currency for reselling tho I'll have to gather it my self
Look a tiny bit further up the chat
Or just go to #kupo-bot-spam
Thanks man
Should I even give gear to my combat retainer?
yes
because ilvl makes them get better items
from quick exploration or the one where you pick?
Both
oh ok
Yes
Higher ilvl makes their hunting ventures shorter and gives more items, gives access to higher level expedition ventures, and tremendously expands the pool of items for quick ventures.
Any high value items other than dyes from quickventure?
Hard to say. The pool is gigantic.
Probably some minions and housing items
I know free trial players can’t mail others, but can they receive mail from subscribers?
They can’t send but the restrictions list doesn’t mention receiving them
Which means they probably can
Yeah idk but logic says it's fine
The most expensive items I got from retainer quick ventures was vs a hat and gown glamour item, both of which sell for 1mil on the market board
Those 2 items came in the last 4 months
Hey guys, so I've installed the steam demo-version, and as soon as I've tried to launch the game with my logg/pass, I've got this notification thing.
maint done ? or still
ty
uh I'm trying to login to the game and my charecter data can't be fetched? / its not allowing me to que up for a world anymore cause of free trial when before I could que up? has something changed
The game is currently down for maintenance
It should be up in an hour and fifteen minutes
I guess it was just loading stuff cause now it's allowing me in
@wooden plinth Did you already start the trial off of Steam?
I really enjoy monk in the open world but in group content (especially with 8/24 players) its really hard to focus on positionals while trying to learn the bosses/content. I'm still newish to the game. Just hit level 54 and any advice I would greatly appreciate.
UHM! I bought the Starter Edition on Steam because it was cheap, now I see that there's the Complete Edition for sale on Square Enix store, but... I suppose I'm screwed, right? Those are two different "versions" (like in, license and upgrades)
Well, I've played a little on non-steam version on a trial, but I decided to move to the steam version and buy the game there.
@leaden ginkgo sit on the corner of the target ring
you have to stick to the non-steam trial until you buy the steam game and register it.
@eternal dome if you already applied the starter edition to your steam account then yes
yes, I'm playing and happy, lvl 16 and counting 😄 but on Steam, yes
Sorry I dont really get that.
!faq positionals
then you cant buy the game/expansions from the SE store @eternal dome
So now all I have to do is just wait for payment conformation and then i'll be able to launch the game with my steam launcher?..
When opening fete presents, will it not give you, for example a peacelovers coffer, if you already have one in your inventory?
ok, thanks for clarifying that 😄
Yep, after you enter the key codes onto the mogstation.
Thank you.
the coffer isn't a "unique" item so can get as many as inventory will hold
For positional do you need to be near the circle or can you sortve hug the model to move less?
If you have a friend on another server can you teleport to his house?
Cool. Thank you.
@mental oracle when you visit their world yes
oh
I'm gonna keep at it. I love the theme of monk to much.
i also suggest making your buffs and the target buffs/debuffs bigger
the positional also goes all the way to the center of the hitbox of the monster
so if it's an especially big enemy you can stand inside a bit if needed/possible
How do you do that? Keeping track of the ability that applies a dot is annoying in raids. I just apply it every second rotation.
in hud layout
You can separate the enemy debuff list from the target UI to put it in a more readable position
you should be applying demolish every 3rd combo
I think all the things it breaks down into are HP/target, cast, and buffs/debuffs
Is there a chart or something for the combos? Maybe I dont have enough skill speed or im messing up. Demolish if its the dot is 15 seconds right? Or am I confusing that with the damage buff.
MNK's rotation basically boils down to this loop:
Flank>Flank>Rear
Rear>Rear>Flank
Flank>Flank>Flank
Rear>Rear>Rear
Flank>Flank>Flank
Rear>Rear>Flank
What is the rearx3?
Bootshine>True>Demolish
bootshine true strike demolish
I've just been doing
Dragon kick > twin > demolish
Boosting > true strike > snap
And repeating that

Dang.
So its okay to let the buff/debuff fall off?
I just don't think I could cycle my abilites quick enough to reapply them as they fall off.
better to let it fall off for like 1s than overwrite it when it's at 6s
^
and lose like 1/3rd of its damage
at higher levels they shouldnt fall off or if they do, only for a very short time
Cool. So just try to learn the rotation now even if its not optimal? I'm only level 53-54 with like 400 skill speed.
you should be getting the muscle memory
thats the lvl 80 opener
just remove what you dont have
Thats really helpful thank you. So they use the shoulder tackle even if they don't need to move for damage? I didn't think of that lol
its not
hmm the game is running smoothly at 60 fps everywhere except in really crowded areas where it usually drops to like 50-55. Kinda annoying. Is there anything I can do about it? My GPU is fine and my CPU is only at like 40%
Thats really spiffy thank you. I have one last question when do you use true North and the ability that lets you use six abilities without need positionals?
perfect balance is in the opener and you use it to spam dragon kick > bootshine
true north for when you cant reach positionals for whatever reason
Can you transform a personal house into a fc house or are there some specific plots you have to buy?
large player count is usually ram speed limitation, not cpu limit
Alright handy. So my burst phase is using perfect balance then spamming dragon kick and boots Hine.
Just use it when its up?
you should use perfect balance with riddle of fire and brotherhood so yeah basically
theyre all 90s cooldowns so they should line up
Thanks alot I really appreciate the tips.
im kindaa lost when i start shb lore
||after the crystal guy summoned me what does he wants from me and with the scions||
||he wants you to save the first||
what is that ?
did you already get to the crystarium?
then you know what shards are ||and he explained what the first is||
||calamity?||
||the shards are the "alternate worlds" split off from the source, which is where we live||
||you're on the first shard||
what about the others
I have 8gb ram 🤔 which is what steam recommends
¯_(ツ)_/¯
😆
we just know the 13th was consumed by darkness
||and the first is being threatened to be consumed by light||
Others are for future expansions I guess lol
oho
if you haven't done the crystal tower raids, I would heavily recommend stopping everything and doing them
you need to have done crystal tower to start ShB so you probably have 
If it was consumed, how are you on it?
anyone can pls explain me WTF is Bozja, everyone is saying do Bozjja to level up to 80, Where the heck can I find Bozja? I went to Gangos and its a closed area.
If you've somehow not done them, then you were lucky enough to avoid the point where it was forced for msq
when i finished sb it said to me that you have to complete crystal tower raid before shb
It's forced again at the beginning of ShB.
If you missed both of those then it's forced at patch 5.3.
Short-form, if you haven't done Crystal Tower then a lot of shadowbringers is flat not going to make sense
You can't get there without doing Crystal Tower.
And 5.3 again forces you to do it if you managed to avoid the other two forced points by getting past them before the mandatory requirements were added.
"Payment is processing..." for 2 hours PepeSad
I know what lfg means, but what does lfm mean?
Looking for more (party members)
No. You'd have to completely relinquish control of the plot and then try to buy it as an FC house instead
All plots can be personal or FC houses, there's no distinction.
Ohhh okay ty!
oh so someone can steal the house in that process?
yes.
Yes
which is the most profitable profession this late in to the expansion?
i guess ALC or CUL since pots and foods are always in demand but its a saturated market
in my pf for ruby ex should i specify ilvl
don't want people under i520 joining
you might find a niche if you go CRP/WVR etc for furniture,glam pieces, minions etc
Just invest everything in carpenter and hope new housing/island update make you rich
you gotta research your own marketboard to figure out whats profitable
also remember that every serious crafter is also an omnicrafter
so they can and will dig into any profits they can find. the pot and food makers can still enter the furniture market
Aye, just hit 80 on my first combat class and im starting on my real intreset in the game which is money making, so ill level all of them eventually. But i was thinking id start out with something that can generate some income whilst i do that
hmm... you could go for some niche content for combat and earn some good gil that way
for example, POTD hairstyles/nightmare pegasus
eureka glams/emotes/mounts etc
all sell well
imo best legal way to make money with combat is just spam treasure maps
ohright, you can also gather maps everyday with your gatherers and earn easy gil everyday if you dont run the maps
