oh ok nice, what about if i just do the monthly subscribtion
as long as u own the game u can make parties
you cant sub without buying the game
Buying at least the starter edition will remove all of the trial restrictions though.
but might as well get cmoplete edition since its on sale for 20 lol
Anyone knows how long does it take for items to be delivered? :D
Meaning you can form parties, use the market board, retainers, and the mail system, and your Gil cap will be much higher.
Anywhere from a few minutes to a day depending on the item.
oh wow a day!
k thank u!
wait is there a gil cap for non free trial? lol what is it like 999 billion
Yeah it’s an absurdly high number that many will never see
Hey!
Is there a way to see what range of weapons are? For example. I have a 23 lancer. Where can I find 23 weapons/armor for it.
Im level 56 bard main. I wanna try out diff stuff 🙂
is the only viable large storage method just using retainers?
I feel like I am constantly running out of space
pretty much
manage your inventory better
there's the glam dressor too
but yeah inventory management is a pretty good skill to have
lowkey. what is the sam job icon actually meant to be?
related: I have lots of blues from a bunch of different jobs. What's the best way to get rid of them?
the 3 sen icons put together?
the hilt of the sword
ohhhhh
tsuba to be specific
go to an inn and put the gear for alt classes in the glamour dressor
okay
just make sure you have enough glamour prisms
and with the rest? like older blues that I don;t need anymore
what's the best way to get rid of them? Can I get anything useful from them or just... sell?
if you like the style or have alt jobs that can use them, same deal
otherwise i'd desynthesize
okay never done that, will look it up
you can desynth them or turn them into GC seals
Greens and blues can be given to your GC for seals if your rank high enough
it's probably not I expect
I've not interacted with the GC stuff at all apart from picking one basically
You can also just sell them.
Why won't this macro line work?
/micon "Materia Extraction" gaction
general, not gaction
See: https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/playguide/db/text_command/e6e219e1adc/
ah ty!
In the lance category?
The first section of categories on the market board are the weapons/tools for the jobs
Or just search for it by name
oh yh got that, was asking if i was supposed to get it from the marketboard or not
hadnt checked
ty
If you don’t craft it yourself then yeah
How helpful is the Vermillion Cloak for Eureka? It'll cost me around 1.5 million but... does it drastically increase the time it takes to level in there?
How much do people spend to craft a full exarchic set compared to what it sell for?
Is it at all expensive for them
dayam its 30k for a lance?? Q_Q
Barely any big difference I think.
As in, if you buy the mats, the profit margin is really thin
How do I join a free company!
If you gather the mats yourself, it’s turning your time into gil. Which is kinda worth it?
you either apply or get invited
@ripe hound gotcha
okay, so I'm learning about targeting. what is this "enmity list" I keep reading about?
Emnity is agro
It's called "Enemy List" on your HUD
It has a dif name in final fantasy
@polar flame the list that appears on the left side of the screen that shows all the enemies and their aggro?
I'm not sure if I have ever seen such a list
Exarch set is the 510 set right? Since demand and supply are both really high, profit margins are razor thin I think
maybe I'm just not paying attention
it is on by default
it's the little yellow bars under your names and job symbols
no
it becomes red once you are on the enemy shitlist
its under the party list by default
ah, so that list will contain all enemies that have aggro on me?
yellowwhen you are close and white when you don't hav much aggro
thats not the enemy list
Hey guys, as vacation is coming up i thought id check out this game. I read that i can start playing for free until a certain level on their website, but that data between website and steam is not shared. I want to buy the steam version, just wondering if ill miss out on a lot?
Im not sure how understandable this is lol
!faq steam
- Steam launcher integration update
- Steam and windows expansions are not interchangeable, buy the expansions for your base platform
- Use SteamEdit to remove -issteam argument to play with your windows subscription via steam
- You do not need to uninstall ffxiv if you have either the steam or windows version when you want to swap.
It’s a pretty decent boost. It both increases your damage done and reduces the damage you take in there. “Eureka/elemental bonus” is basically Magicite in every element in a sense
how do i enhance the champions lance with materia
What am I looking for? The thing that shows you the perks/cons of Steam?
@west bridge there isnt any difference in gameplay between steam and SE
well I asked about ENMITY because that's what I read in the controller guide
Go to an NPC melder. They’re marked on the map with a blue materia icon
@night oxide use the materia melder next to the market board
@polar flame theres 2 ways to see enmity. one is the yellow bars on the party list under every person's job icon. the other is the enemy list
Lot of people in reviews says u should buy it from website, so is there nothing different?
The only issue with Steam is you are restricted then to making expansion purchases through Steam
It’s because the SE store has sales more often
I just noticed an issue with my ui. I have a bigg bar for cooldowns to make it so I can see cds. This dont change as the "main" bars change when swapping between classes. Making it so I have Bard cooldowns when playing lancer.
and are thus subject to their sales, not SE's
@clever ether unshare the hotbar in character config > hotbar
because once you've bought a steam license, you can't make expansion purchases on the SE store
Ah i see
and vice versa

theres a sale on the SE store right now
ok thank you, I just don't see why anyone would say "enmity list" in the context of targeting enemies
So did i.
What does Cross Hotbar mean? I unchecked the hotbar 4 and 5 which are the cooldown ones.
controller hotbars
the champions lance isnt showing up in the melders thing
so is this the channel I can ask hypothetical questions by any chance?
For playstation?
oh wait this is the wrong guy
Pendo does it have any meld slots
@clever ether for any controller
its the blue stone icon on the map
ill have you know
Thanks!
theres many marketboards
So for leveling crafters, how should I progress my gear? Just buy vendor trash gear until max level and then do scrips?
now how do i get hold of materia
Yes but everyone uses the main city one unless theres a tax difference in other places
U can farm it in dungeons or buy it
buy it you say
spiritbond or buy it
shouldnt be that expensive
i just need some random ol materia
On my server they are quiet high rn
are you sure you dont need a SPECIFIC materia which would say so in the quest objective
You need a specific materia
do i actually, im gonna headbutt a wall
read
Gerolt told you the specific materia he wanted
the game wont let me dye items anyone know why that is?
ive already got 2 savage
did you unlock dye
Did you unlock dyes?
Dis you unlock dye also some items are not dyeable
just buy it
i got dyes in my inventory
Just buy it if its one
You need to unlock the ability to dye items
!quest Colour your World
Dumb American spelling
That one but bot is broken
There is a quest in Vesper Bay, from Svergeim. (The town you keep going back to for the Scions). Find them, do their quests, and you'll get glamour, dying, etc.
@night oxide tick partial match and type the specific materia
^
!quest Color your world
Cerberus typing too fast for me lmao
This quest unlocks dyes
its just looking at the menus
how do i remove materia from an item
Retrieve Materia

hey, im very tired from work
i just got all my crafting/gathering jobs to 50 and done the quests, and now i wanna clean out my 2 retainers full of crafting mats. anyone got a good idea what to do with them?
Sell on market board
thx got it
Is there an easier way than doing it 1 by 1?
or maybe an easier way to check which items are say more than 100 gil
The game won't automatically check the market board for you, no
how do i spawn CE: Feeling the Burn
Kill magitek in zone 3
What health potions should i be getting at level 70?
So I keep seeing One specific Red mage Weapon Used in the trailers and everywhere else and I have no Idea how to get it I assume its from something thats not job quests
and if so how do I get it
this weapon
lvl 70 AF gear
how do i move this out the way
Same exact coffer as from the Redmage Lv. 70 quest.
yes
both
HOw
@leaden ginkgo system > hud layout
hud layout menu
ty
So do I need to do something else to get it
you get it from the job quest and its upgraded in the relic weapon quests
okay
anyone can give a guide for leveling on euerka please
And you get the base
is that the base?
yes
Yes, can be upgraded in eureka for a glow
okay
its called antiquated murgleis btw
!iglam murgleis Anemos
For the glow version
Is it possible to play ff14 from pc to ps4 and retain my progress if I link it with my pc account?
yes once you buy the game for the other platform
Yes, but you'll need to buy the game for PS4
Okay ty
Are there any good outdoor seats that would fit in the hot spring thing? So you could actually sit in it. If anyone knwos of anything
As I just found out, that does not work in the slightest lmao. For whatever reason you just sit in the air like 5 feet above a bench
Hey. I am quite new to FF14 and already around lvl 60 as DRG. Found the housing system and just wanna buy some. What is the best way to farm gil? ive got already the requiered rank to buy a house. the money is missing.
not many ways below 80
and even then you have to actually BUY the house
and good luck with that
y i read about this afking hours infornt of the market
-
Do job quests on RDM to level 70.
-
Get a box
-
What's in the box?!
Thr invisible timer preventing people buying it
For a completely random amount of time
At what Rank do I need to be to do the Zandor version of Castrum?
25
there is a way to buy a apartment for 500k. do i have the same benefits as with a house?
I see
Step 2) cut a hole in the box...
Hi community
Just downloaded ff14 on my Mac book Pro. I have been trying to get my ps3 controller on the game. I connected my controller successfully via blue tooth and the game detects the ps3 controller, but I cannot calibrate it..
Has anyone else encountered this problem?
Thanks in advanced
You can't garden in it but otherwise you can decorate it
Pretty much but no outdoor furnishing for you
And ofc smaller than a house afaik
1 room vs 2 floors
okay. so ill start save some gil until i get my 500k :c at least a little start b4 getting into big houses :o
ty <3
Is there any reason NOT to extract materia as soon as an item is soulbound? A reason to keep the item soulbound, or delay the extract?
No
no
right on, ty
How much aetherpool do you need to enter floor 100+ ?
Even on old gear it the materia still sells for more than most items to npcs
you don't NEED any, but being as close to 99/99 as possible is highly recommended
when does the story become the same for every job
lvl 15
uhh, wait Ixo what do you mean? In terms of MSQ or actual class quests?
msq
Ah, Lv. 15
is it the airship msq?
Yes
Pretty much.
Also did the Bozja story line ended this patch?
Hopefully it ended.
As in, currently it's unlikely we will get more content using the Bozja system of lost actions and stuff right?
bozja is done for this expac
theres no way of knowing if it will resume in the future, the storyline
Nice
bard and dancer is the rng classes mch is no more ?
mch doesnt have rng
uh
Per a suggestion. I have put the party to help with my atma fates on the party finder. Though it's not guaranteed that it will work.
Atma's aren't a guaranteed drop fam.

is there another way to do dungeons besides duty finder?
that's atmas down, 9 to go
no
https://i.imgur.com/dc0WF2c.jpg I remember there are five dwarves, but at the end where I got the achievement, only 3 of them appeared. Did I miss something?
Sadly no. Not until like... Shadowbringers do you actually have a chance to use something other than Duty Finder.
unlucky
You can come in with a premade party but trusts were only added in shb
there's also squadrons, but you need to do lots of stuff for it
and they're incredibly stupid
there's other people here that look like they're waiting but it says i only have myself in the party
They're likely just idling or something
other people here... where?
Yeah you’ll be waiting if you’re a dps
ARR also has you revisit "hard" versions of the dungeon at level 50;
Yeah the Duty Finder’s “how many people are doing this” is not accurate
On my world DPS queue time for dungeons is around 7-12 min
ah ok ill just wait
right, time for one of many hypothetical questions:
Reaper is an edgelord class no-if-ands-or-buts, but what race between Lalafell and male Viera would it fit the least?
sounds like a question for #general-discussion
At what rank can I boost mount speed in Zandor?
vinyl is right
Immediately
Oh
yes
Nice
If there is then the balance bis lists will mention them
Most jobs that aren’t tanks or BLM/healers usually like being near the default of 2.5
SAM laughing at 2.07
can someone explain the skill true north
these things
It let's you get your positionals regardless where you are
It will make your positionals do the bonus thing, regardless ofwhether you're actually on the positional or not.
does samurai has positional
Yes
yes
Two
when
Gecko and kasha
Past 52-54
At 52
it increases your kenki which is a dps gain
Moon cut from the back, Pink X slash from the side
!skill Gecko
!skill Kasha
gecko
lol
it worked tho
do i need anything to unlock dancer class?
level 60, own shb
thank you all !
i got shb justn eed to get lvl 60 then?
yep
thank you
idr but there may be a part where you fight mobs on the original class, so you might need level appropriate gear on your original class
Is heaven on high how i should be lvling from lvl 60 to 70 , other than msq?
Is there a way to get notoriety when not accepting a duel invitation in bozja? i just want to farm notoriety for the last duel i need and not blow all of my stacks on one of the ones i already have
MSQ should be enough for your first class, but yes. I also recommend doing your daily roulettes, msq gives like half a level for it, and others also have nice bonuses.
is samurai core skill at end level ?
Not really
I've noticed in Eureka I'm getting less levels from the challnge log, from 9 a week to around 4 a week at 21-25, will the challenge log continue to decrease or will I consistently get four levels per week?
No, you need to accept the duel for notoriety to accumulate
It has its core at 50
dang, ty 😦
It builds up when you don’t get selected
And just slowly adds more stuff as you level
i dont feel like dmging
It gets more tools with kenki as you go for off global damage
Samurai is the opposite job to this feeling.
SAM gets a decently big power boost at 62 when the kenki generation increases a lot.
Then Tsumbae as a second midare
kenki.
It’s your second resource used to do stuff
Power spikes at 62 and whatever level Tsumbae is at
!action hissatsu: shinten
SAM’s unique resource. It allows you to use a handful of new skills. One of which is your most consistent source of damage.
That one in fact lol
oh can i solo dungeons?
If you're overlevelled by alot
oki thank you
Yes
Eventually but only when you over level it dramatically.
Hey folks, quick question. So, I'm a bit into Heavensword and I want to grab Tales of Adventure: Stormblood. Do you have to pay full price including the ARR skip or is there a discounted method if I already went through that content?
or can i do it with npcs?
You pay full price
Not until shadowbringers for trusts
Got it, cheers
If you want to skip you pay full price. They don't offer you a discount on content done (the purchase side of things has no way of checking character quest completion anyways)
👍 Thanks!
anyone in balmung wanna take a new player? lol im lvl 21 warrior eventually dark knight when i unlock it
do you need Fantasia to change eye color
yes
if its not tattos, hair or makeup you need a fantasia
cant i change my eye color without Fantasia
no
no
You can use an aesthetician to change cosmetic aspects of the character (facial markings, hair style and color, etc) but not inherent stuff like the shape of your face or eye color.
Some minor details such as facial tattoos or accessories can be changed in the hair stylist but finer details require a Fantasia.
hells
what msq are you on
shb

I have Lancer and Gladiator at level 30, and several at 10-12... whats the best way to level up the lower level ones? (and trying to keep quests open for other skills not to grind too much)
!faq altlvlguide
Thank you
Is fasteset way for raw emotions dungeons or dalriada?
if you're only relic grinding solo, dungeons. if you want dalriada/bozja loot in general + emotions, dalriada. that or a premade party built for speedrunning dalriada
What does it mean in the Gold Saucer: drawing number XXXX is here
and?
you can either buy cactpot tickets, or redeem them in the case of the normal cactpot at the cashier
cactpot is weekly on saturdays, mini is daily on reset
I know that, I'm asking what is that number announcement
exactly that
for some reason from the itinerant moogle event I can not get the lakshmi card because it says i cannot carry more than 1 unique item i do not know what that means
it's how many drawings for the cactpot have occured since the GC was introduced
what's the command for pvp action in the macros? /ac doesn't work
you already have it in your inventory
Unique Items you can only hold one per inventory
So one in your inventory/armory chest, chocobo sadlebag, and one per retainer
What about "Tickets for drawing number XXXX are on sale", I can't buy any ticket with that number. And why would I want that ticket anyway
its how many drawing for the cactpot have occured
I don't have it in my inv the card is not there
It says "on sale", doesn't it?
its /pvpac
So this number is a winning number I need to hit?
no
the first drawing had 1
and then 2
and then 3
so on and so forth until the current drawing
the actual winning number itself is randomized
It's just flavour text really
So why it tells me I can buy it?
no they're on sale
ty
you can buy up to 3 tickets a week at the mega cactpot board
and 3 mini cactpot scratches daily
That I know. So this announcement is basically "there are total 2838 tickets sold, come and buy one yourself"?
yes its just flavour text to basically simulate being in a real casino
no, the annoucement is "this is the 2838th day you can buy mini cactpot tickets"
The text itself is confusing af
it's just one of those american casino things
Just flavour text so don't think too hard
"woohoo 2838 days you have been able to gamble"
Considering that announcements in Golden Sauce are always related to something you can take part in, and then I read this
I know, I already bought some tickets. Was very confused by that XXXX number message
Finally finished the MSQ and now I have no idea what to do
!faq contentunlock
what's the pvp equivaleent for /micon in macros?
Thank you

is it possible to wall2wall in tamtara?
Hey, I just finished heavensward and there's an element I did not understand, i don't want to enter the spoilers channel because I don't want to spoil myself from incomming events, is there someone I can ask for clarification ?
what are the few hairstyles u can get from PvP
Is there a storage/bank system? 2 of my 4 invs are full and i'm starting to get worried lol
styled for hire is the only one afaik
afaik??
if you spoiler tag it (2 | on each side of the message, so || on each side) i can answer
You can ask using spoiler tags: || on either side of text ||like so||
Retainers
Can't use them on trial
When/how do i get those?
fashionably feathered and styled for hire @fringe bone
I'm not on a trial
Hire them from retainer vocates in main cities after the lv17 story quest
gotcha, thanks. I'm on level 15 atm, are additional ones real $?
Yes
Oh boy...
2 is all you need unless you're an excessive hoarder
Cause each retainer is like 170 items
At the end of the quesline folowing heavensward ||after omega battles with the big bad drake, Yda reveals to be Lyse or smth like that, but I don't remember her at all, are we supposed to know who she is ? I'm not skipping cutscene but I'll admit I can forget a thing or two about the story||
If you only done ARR then no
||No, she's just revealing that her identity is a sham.||
||yda is lyse's older sister who died before you met her, lyse is the person who took yda's identity and THAT is who youve met this entire time||
||Lyse is the younger sister of Yda. It's reavelied that you never knew the true Yda all this time.||
||The person you've known as Yda has always really been Lyse.||
||Do you know if Yda or Lyse appeared in 1.0 or 1.x?||
||old yda died a year before 1.0 from what I’ve heard||
alright thanks, I thought ||the Yda we knew was dead and she was remplaced by the time we found papalymo and her back after heavensward||
||Yda died one year before the events of 1.0. Echo visions that you have in 1.0 are of the real Yda but when you meet her in the "present day" of 1.0 she's Lyse. No distinction was made though because they hadn't actually created Lyse yet.||
lmao no theres no doppelganger/body snatcher thing going on
I see, thank you.
||I still don't quite understand why the plot twist even today. Like, would something go wrong if Yda and Lyse are just the same person?||
Since ||she is her sister and it's a video game, it could have happened||
it was character development for ||lyse||
I admit I still ||don't really understand the point of the twist then, but maybe it'll gain interest in stormblood||
its just the start of her character development
she develops more in stormblood where shes more of a main character
Mmmpphhhh it's kinda....
||But what's the point of our character being shocked and all if we just never knew the old Yda ?||
||Honestly? I think they wanted to distance a new "serious" character from the comic relief that she was before; plus they also wanted a young firebrand, and Yda would have been in her 30s.||
i think whether your character is that shocked or not is up to you
||Someone lying to you about who they are is kinda shocking regardless||
||But the writing decision is widely regarded as a bit awkward by players, I think.||
||nobody cares about lyse anyway||
How do I ping my location?
||We're given the choice to say "Why did you never told me" or smth like that I don't really know I'm translating but I don't really get it I'll admit||
||Yeah, tbf I never really cared about both papalymo and Yda in general||
Hello guys, how much is it to transfer from a server in the same realm

We will likely not have any more MSQ until 6.0 right?
We wont
Still haven’t done 5.55 MSQ lol
We got all the content we'll get until the expansion
All expansions and ARR ended on x.5x right?
Story wise yes
I mean it’s unlikely a future expansion will end on x.4x or x.6x right?
Other patches are just loot lock removals
I see
i just finished 2.0 and bc of reasons had to skip like all the last batch of cutscenes
and most of them i just went into the inn and watched in the journal
but there's a scene i wasn't able to see there that happens right when you go back into ||the waking sands and like hand in the ultimate weapon quest to minfilia and get the rewards etc||
and it isn't in the journal and i'm wondering if anyone knows where i could find it on like youtube or anywhere
theres many videos of the cutscenes on youtube
yeah i just can't find this one scene
just look up a realm reborn all cutscenes or something
alright
i've been trying to search for the cutscenes at the end of the quest but they all just end in the same place the journal does
is it after the credits?
Did you close your game from the time you watched the cutscene to now?
Because you can read diologue in the event chat tab
and yeah it's after the credits and after you get control of the character back

Which class lets you dismantle armor/weapons? I noticed they don't sell for much so I'm assuming you can dismantle it.
all crafters
Oh, is it just part of crafting?
You need to level crafters to 30
you need specific crafters to desynth specific gear
To desynth their gear/items
Why are my daily beast quest allowances not resetting?
oh, the crafters need to be level 30? that's probably gonna take awhile =\
no it wont
Note Culinarian cannot desynth gear only fish
Not really with Gc turn ins and ishgard restoration
They won't reset if you have a daily from the previous day

You can move data centre for money
yeah looks like that had it thank you so much
!faq worldpick
You can play on any world on any datacenter within FFXIV. Aside from the languages spoken, the physical location of the servers, and the status of each world, there are no major differences. This also means population on a given server is quite meaningless.
The majority of content is cross-world, with the exception of Free Companies, Linkshells, and restrictions when visiting other worlds.
If you don't mind where you play, choose a world that is Preferred or New for character creation bonuses. Check world status by using !status <world name> or via the Lodestone. For information about the status types, use !faq worldtype.
Notable worlds:
- Balmung & Mateus (Role-playing)
- Tonberry & Kujata (Large amount of Oceanic players)
- Moogle (Large amount of French players)
- Shiva (Large amount of German players)

Which dungeon was the last one when SHB first released?
I'm brand new to this game, i have no idea what I'm doing atm haha the low level gear is just clogging up my inv. Is it worth desynthing low level gear or should i just trash them?
Crystal has fewer raiders and a large RP community, Primal and Aether are normal
Amarout, Twinning and Anemedsisisisis andyer was the 3 lv80 dungeons when shadowbringers was released
ty
You can Desynth them, sell to vendor, etc.
Low level gear ain’t that useful
regarding treasure maps
do the portals dissapear if you dont go in it, ie you dont have enough people so go try and get some?
You can move Data Centers. You just have to pay for it (unless you meet certain conditions like moving from a Congested World to a Preferred World or moving to a newly created World)
if you leave the area yes. You can try and invite people while you're standing there outside it though.
Thats what I mean tho, like they all sell for less than 20 gil, is it worth leveling up my crafters to desynth low level stuff like that? Or is that too much work for now just trash it and continue leveling up/main questing?
But three people is enough to do them. Two is possible but dangerous.
Not really, just trash and ignore is fine
sounds good, thanks. I'm only level 20 atm so going for 30 crafting to desynth sounded like a lot of time lol
Later after you unlock Grand Companies and level up your rank, you can turn in gear for Company Seals to buy random stuff
Yeah, Desynth is not mandatory, you also usually only get some cheap mats
I got another question, I choose jobs regarding their stories a lot, I try to get information regarding their qualities on reddit and I wasn't disappointed by the drk, but I couldn't find if the gunbreaker story was good or not, I know it's a matter of opinion but I'll like some
Uh... a bit unmemorable I think
And I am having no luck getting the remaining eight atmas. Sighs. And using the party finder works somewhat.
Samurai has a solid story
As in, I can’t really remember anything about the GNB story other than having a Cat Guy and a Rabbit Girl
Nothing's really quite as unique and impactful as DRK
After playing PLD up to 80, why ... WAR attacks feel or sound softer - don't feel much attack impact as PLD (striking animations). Or it is just me?
It feels laggy too
I started leveling a warrior up to 40, but it's really not interesting for now
is your WAR lvl 80?
you dont even have fell cleave
Wait until you get Fell Cleave. That's when it begins.
WAR sound effects have a lot more… crunch? I guess you would call it?
And it's quite sad for the gunbreaker, and for the samourai, I should give it a try, even If I would hate to loose my quick queue privilege
Yeah, Fell Cleave is like THE weapon skill of the game
lately it has been windy or swooshing sounds
also inner chaos at 80
then inner release at 70 and it become my favorite class
I really, really need a new strategy to get those last eight atmas. so far. I only got 4 of the atmas.
playing pvp with WAR and absolutely executing someone with inner chaos is the biggest dopamine of the game
It’s mostly just time burning.
Yes it is
Usually relics are something you work on after completing MSQ
As in, completing lv 80 MSQ
You can try to grab a Blue Mage and level that... if you are into it
And I believe that relic weapons has to be done in order and by expansion too.
nope
no
can do Shb before arr
I am working on the ARR relic weapon.
yes but you dont have to do them in order of expansion
Different expansions' relics are not related to one another.
ARR relics are not prerequisite to HW relics, etc.
wolves den
oh. well thank goodness.
i cant find it on the map
In the ship building
At the wolves den
is this a relic weapon for gnb ?
Yes
type
The first look of the shadowbringers reloc
Gunbreaker only has 1 relic chain
Hello! Ive been having a slight issue when playing ffxiv, I am not able to hear any kind of NPC voice acting. I know it's sparse, but even the little bits of where there should be voice acting, I hear none
I am able to hear my own character laugh/emote just fine, and I can hear the bgm just fine. I just can't hear NPC voices. Any idea on how to fix?
I'm not an expert at all, but a friend of mine had a similar problem, is your computer not very powerful and are you playing on very low setting ?
It's a gaming laptop, specifically a Dell g3 15, and I'm running it on high
Well, I don't really know if it's good or not, but if you're able to play on high setting without lags or your computer suffering, then it's not what I thought, sorry but I can't help you more than that
No worries! Thanks for the help anyway
Did you double check that the “Voice” option in your settings is set on a number that you can hear?
is this the best lvl 70 armor?
No
No
Scaven is, it’s poetic gear
Yes, it's at 100
should i get it though or am i better off buying from vendors?
Then I don’t know how to solve your problem, my apologies
Don't bother spending your moogle tomes on that gear.
It's there as a glamour option, basically.
When you reach level 70 you'll have access to far superior gear very easily with Poetics.
It's alright! Yeah it's definitely a very weird issue
oh ok ty
Fuck no. Though it is a good fending glamour for them ore techy-sort... should farm for it.
@keen robin drivers updatedm
?
If no solution here #technology-discussion might have the 4head
Yeah, at least as far as I know
Yep, just checked and they're all updated
I'll head over to tech and ask there
honestly, a majority of arr is not voice acted
He said earlier that he knew it was rare, so he prob checked on ytb or a friend to know if a cutscene was voiced or not
what can I do with GC crests at level 70?
Can spend them on glamour prisms or cordials to sell for Gil.
hmm
Hey guys so I'm trying to start 2.5 but it says I need to have beaten 3 (hard) dungeon levels in order to start the MSQ. The issue is I don't see the "hard" versions of the levels available, only the regular low level versions.
Guys, question please:
If I buy the game/complete version since it's a discount right now, will I have to start paying the monthly subscription to play or do I still get to play for free until 60~70 or whatever the free trial limits at?
Asking for a friend, recommending the game
Free until 60
Once the game has been registered, the trial ends
the free month starts, and then there's no way to play without subbing after that
Oh so I can tell my friend to buy, but not to apply the key until he's done with the free trial?
^ Yes. You can hodl on to the code as long as you need~~ as long as its PC edition.~~
Thank you!
Damn, should've done that
you only get the expansions when endwalker releases
Yeah because the key only active from Nov 2021
option 3 isnt a waste of money if you dont want to wait 6 months
a lot of the hard dungeons are accessed through blue side quests
agreed, probably only $3 more
is reshade allowed and what is is recommended
yes it is
can i run orbonne any amount of time to get the loot?
like, it's not weekly locked or anything?
no it's not
weekly lockouts only apply to current end-game content
Aren't tank more like leader roles?
Oh fuck no.
Not inherently
Tanks are meant to hold together what the group decides they can handle
Like we should be able to dictate how much we're able to pull without wiping but fuck can people be salty.
But like if a tank doesn't know what they're doing then there's nothing for them to lead
I feel like I have no idea how to learn Summoner

As in, leveled Scholar to 80, still haven't done my lv 35 SMN quest
By playing Summoner
Also
WeskAbler on YT
there is a website
Like, do I just summon a pet, then spam Ruin II until the boss is dead?
Alber*
Oh yeah, AkhMorning
sounds like scholar in a nutshell, yeah
You can join the balance discord, they got channel for all jobs
Yeah close enough lol
I have encounter couple of issues with SMN... also in one of the dungeon my pet just... ghost out despawn randomly with trash in the boss fight
maybe toss in a dot and keep it up
lol
It was an annoying bug.
want a more accurate summary of endgame SMN?
Phase into phase until you reach the first phase again
Yeah sounds about right
Pretty much.
Sum up for SMN: Go Pikachu!
?
does anyone know what these mean?
Plus means it’s glamed
Thanks!!
Hey guys I’m lvl 33, is there a way to get a chocobo? Im tired of running lol
Msq
For SMN is Painflare and Fester the only skill you can use Aetherflow on?
Good evening everybody! I just got back into the game after more than a year and some change away. I bought the adventurous tale: a realm were born in order to get through all of the filler content between the end of the MSQ's and the beginning of storm blood. After I use the item I found that the next quest in my queue was the introduction to heavenward. All my buddies have told me that missing missing out on storm blood is not too big of a deal but is there any way for me to go back and play those if I want to?
is there a way to do sidequests without waiting for the queue times cause some of them get really long
yes
uh
There is a New Game+ feature that lets you replay some of the MSQ
heavensward is before stormblood why are you saying your missing out on stormblood?
if your at the start of heavensward?
i am so confused lol
you bought the story skip that skips the base game and puts you at the beginning of the first expansion
not stormblood
ye
which isnt recommended for your first character anyway because now you wont understand any of the expansions
ok so that skips arr wich means your starting at heavensward wich means you will have to play through stormblood and then shadowbringers
play a tank or a heal ! 😉 no queue time !
30+ minutes on both
you wont understand a lot but you can still enjoy them
Well, sorry for you but I never got past 10 mins as a tank on my server, maybe you're playing at night for your place so there's less players
8pm for me
are we talking Crystal Tower, or an EX trial?
pretty late but like
bahamut thingy
yeah you're not going to find many people for that thru dt
that questline
Bahamut will never pop, it's not in any roulette
people dont que for it since its really hard
you will need to find someone in PF to bring you through it unsynced
its generally recommended to either find people thru PF to unsync with you
oh so how am i supposed to find people for it?
!faq unsync
In your duty finder window select the ⚙️ icon on the top left to open up the duty finder settings window.
Inside that window select the setting undersized party before confirming and entering the instances of your choice. NOTE: UNSYNC-ING AN INSTANCE WILL FORFEIT ALL OF YOUR EXP AND COMPLETION REWARDS. Poetics from a first time completion bonus and loots chests remain the same and will not be lost. You may not queue for daily roulettes using this method.
party finder
or wait until you're max lvl and unsync it yourself
Is it possible to use an unspoiled resource node more than once during its specified time-frame, or do I need to wait another in-game day?
not playing the content at its level cap
The faq explains it
so its stupid easy
can i solo it unsynced lol
Yes
do your story quests you get one around level 20 story
its shown in the same spot as job quests on the ui
he hasnt done the quest yet lol
(i did it at like level 50 lmao)
you'll have to wait for the next spawn. unspoiled nodes can only be gathered from once per window
is there a quest that has long queue times and i cant solo unsynced?
that i have to do something else to find people for
Gotcha. So the rss I'm looking at comes out at 9-12. I can only farm it a single time through that whole time-frame?
Old EX, old savage, coil
Aka
No one queue this
generally, coil, savages and extremes are going to warrant either going in unsync or getting a PF for
can someone explain the diffs between ninja samurai and dancer since i think those would be the dps i would want to play in the future just idk which first ?
Ah perfect thank you so much man. I understand what you guys are saying on not skipping any of the MSQ on my first character. You're exactly right, I just wanted to skip all the filler stuff between expansions. I was under the impression that storm blood was before heavensward
Dancer is ranged, so that’s the first difference
NIN : fast and has trick attack, the best DPS debuff in the game
SAM: a fuckton of DPS, no party buffs
DNC: ranged, a good amount of buffs, low personal damage
@blissful root its not filler between expansions, theyre transitions and are very important to the plot
and you cant skip ONLY the patch quests
ninja: uses mudra (skills with different combinations that result in different attacks), and trick attack, which increases all damage dealt to the enemy
sam: big ol damage, no utility
dancer: ranged, has low personal damage as a tradeoff for permanently buffing one party member, and ocasionally buffing the rest
oh okay, but i play astro and though that astrologian had best buff which is div with 6%
ohhhh
yeah idk dancer seems like somethjng i would do later since low dps and only buffing one person kinda thing
i like more helping the team like astro or like u said ninja
samurai just seems like it’s fun
SAM is fun
all DPS are fun
and flashy
dancer buffs the party as well
can i solo coil unsynced or do i need other people for it?
BLM can be an acquired taste
MCH is my main bc it's simple but very flexible
dont know how hard it is
dancer only has low personal dps because it gives a lot of buffs to other people
my leylines
its not low dps
ah makes sense
2 or 3 lvl 80s can easily clear it
just advertise "first time bonus" and you'll get people
?
since poetics can be turing into flashy weapons
huh
you can solo most of it
didnt know there was a first time bonus
t9 can be a bit rough if you don't know what you're doing
but can just watch a video of it
im a tank so i wont die to fast lol
100 poetics for each floor
i think i’m gonna level ninja first thanks, also i accidentally last week got a ninja nier gear so should i keep finishing the ninja gear even tho when i start raiding my static is gonna make me play astrologian
It's mechanical damage
im gonna try to solo it
That will kill you
You won’t
The thing with T9 is killing before the dragon debuffs cycle and auto kills you, gotta portion your burst accordingly to get through golems then burst her down
How do I leave a player commendation at the end of a dungeon run?
notification > player commendation
coils are savage level of difficulty, and have mechanics that say "you do it right or you die"
There'll be a popup on the bottom right corner of the window
Via the notification tab, where the loot goes
if people leave the dungeon before you're out of the cutscene, you won't be able to
welp time to die a lot
@slate arrow Sorry but how do i reach the notification window?
blu mages can enter rmaps, right?
the same way you open the loot window
It's literally the sane area
Just make a pf
Loot goes
Is there a way to trigger the "Participate in the FATE" quests, or do I just need to wait for the FATE to spawn?
i wanna try it solo atleast
Gotta wait
yep, even lvl 80 maps
darn
If you do other Fates in the zone, you can possibly get yours to spawn faster
level 80 should breeze through this iirc
But T9 can be tricky as you need to stack meteor and kill the golem in time before fuse
Then the status in the end might kill you
The RDM solo i saw phase skip that and burst through the 4th phase. I was at 60 when my unsynced team tried and and our PLD 80 cant solo the final phase ,-,
So dunno
Not expert but relaying what might happened as we spent hour or two figuring out the way (with 6 peeps)
Maybe see in yt for that one
T9 as in the 9th raid in the coil
Does anyone know who I speak to to start the quest that unlocks the (hard) version of "The Navel?"
the Waking Sands, in Western Thanalan
Check waking sand. Should be one of the + quest
someone in the side room
it'll be from y'shtola
Alright sweet heading to walking sand now!
that's also assuming you've done the previous two hard modes
@twilit arch I just finished the bowl of embers hard, have yet to do The Navel and The Howling Eye Hard
then you need to do garuda first
Okay is he in the walking sands too?
yes
Is there a way to autosort your inventory just so I don't have random empty spaces? Or can I only arrange my inv manually?
right click on something in your inv > sort
oh, thanks lol
Are color DPS bars was based from parsing average performance?
Edited: Like my bar is blue, wait is it purple?, so thats means I'm in Average DPS to this boss
not that i know of. it seems like the colors are just to make it easier to differentiate
the length of the bar is just a percentage of that player's dps compared to the top dps of the encounter
I see
Anything in particular I should spend company seals on?
i grab a stockpile of ventures if i'm not sure what to get
Seems like a good idea. Everything else available to me rn seems underleveled
there are also the manuals
I think I should've used them on promotions actually, whoops
i also bought a crapton of dark matter to repair my gear
also consider materials like coke. they usually sell well
Will there be another gear tier or a relic wep higher than 535
Nothing new is coming until the expansion
so the relic will not increase any further
the highest gear is 530 right
With 535 weapons yes
whats the bis blu gear rn
i think its a mix of eureka omega and poetic gear
400 poetic gear?
Info + Changelog
Blue Academy Gear Simulation Sheet
Version 2.2 (2021-02-11)
Hey folks! Since the common gear planning sites don't have great (or any) BLU support, I wanted to try to make my own sheet for testing sets against one another to see not only the raw stat differences but also how it a...
yep here's the list
you can do great with just poetic gear if you want
(quite a bit faster too)

question
So I sent my friend a recruitment code
they're on mogstation and cant find where to put it
they both made a SE account, havent bought the game
and downloaded the game
where do I have them enter the recruitment code?
and one of them for some reason keeps getting a text to tell them to enter a registration code for some reason
on mogstation
you can enter the recruitment code after buying the game
as long as they havent paid for subs yet
the first free 1 month doesnt count
would it be possible to solo skalla for the loot as a high ilvl 80 job?
It's a part of zadnor so no
They say they cant find it
do they have to buy the game to enter the recruit a friend code??
yes
yes
You can't do it on free trial
yup
the RAF code works by giving the recruiter rewards based on the recruit's sub time
The free days don't count against that
if the recruit doesnt buy subs, its kinda moot
once i have my 535 relic, there's no reason to farm for eden or aug cryptlurker weapon, right?
(other than glam)
just bought the newbie package, lv 60 and finished 50 storyline quest, need to go to ishgard, currently in uldah, absolutely fucking lost. Any tips on what to do?
the msq
Guys is there any difference between companies gear?
just colors
So same gear but different dyes?
