whats the population like between aether and primal?
There aren't official numbers, but they should be similar.
aether has more raiders
primal pf kinda quiet so ive been wondering how it is on aether
I mean, it's early in NA, and a weekday.
yeah
back in the day PF didn't exist and everyone moved to Gilgamesh to raid
i started on gilgamesh lol. its always dead when theres no raid patch
which ones are the fastest eden raids (again for the relic stuff)?
e1/2, i found e3 to be the fastest
well it depends on the relic they're trying to collect
e1 can kill before the cutscene but its inconsistent on DF
the new one
e3 can also kill before downtime but inconsistent
but I need the CE mats
yeah but the new one has two parts
the lucrid mems are from 3/4
and the other ones are from 1/2
so yeah you need lucrid
and I checked
I love the ques for eden raids
It's pinned, lol
oh right, it doesn't specifically say which eden is the fastest
Trying to craft the relic weapon for THM/BLM, but it won't let me turn it in?
I guess it's E1 and E3
It's the sanguine scepter and I melded 2 savage might materia 3 as well
but the E1 one can easily dropped from Skirmish
the difference between e3 and 4 should be little if you're doing df so
you can just queue for both
the issue is less how long it takes and more how the que takes ages
yeah probably better to just queue for e3,4,8,11, and 12
What time do Beast Tribe Quests reset? I thought it was around now
!daily
!reset
54 minutes, 4 seconds
5 hours, 54 minutes, 4 seconds
3 days, 17 hours, 54 minutes, 4 seconds
3 days, 17 hours, 54 minutes, 4 seconds
1 day, 11 hours, 54 minutes, 4 seconds
1 day, 5 hours, 54 minutes, 4 seconds
22 hours, 54 minutes, 4 seconds
10 days, 54 minutes, 4 seconds
167 days, 17 hours, 54 minutes, 4 seconds
Ah, okay, cheers
I thought dailies reset now, lmao
maybe day light savings confused me
Remember daylight savings
The server doesn't observe DST so it "changes" for your time zone
I see
How do I get into extreme trials if no one queues for them
use party finder
And unsync for old ones
maybe that was a useless question though
its a fine question if you ask me
ex's are pretty damn hard when synced
esp for new players
Well no one wants to do them but new players
In your duty finder window select the βοΈ 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.
You only need 1 lv80 or so to face roll with unsync
it seems to be greyed out
Advertise unsync and new player bonus in party finder and people will come
Have they added any new hair styles for men in the game?
Since when?
5.5 added two
Since March. That's when I stopped
Then yes
Just came back
yes theres a few more
There's a couple from Bozja/Zadnor, and a couple from the third NieR raid.
Gotcha
should sorted from the earliest
not sure what you missing there
This one can't be found in the character creator? https://ffxivcollect.com/hairstyles/281

That's one of the Bozja ones
which MSQ quest name ends at the first part of 5.5?
The last quest of 5.5 is called When the Dust Settles
ok thx
Bummer
How does squadron training calculates exactly? When I get +40 to one attribute and -20 to other, does it give +40 to each member? Or what
For example: I have 1 daily training left and I think of making it only mental. But won't other 2 go below the requirements of the mission? Will the training give -20 only to current roster? And what if I swap them after the training? How does it work?
The stats from training is your starting stats
If you remove everyone, you'll start from those stats you've allocated in training
Oooh, so basically I want to just level them up for more stats

Crafting and gathering are completely optional
and it seems not weaving is the biggest mistake u can make :D
!faq weaving
You should do all crafters and gathering at once
Anyone else having their game crashing after opening the gathering log?
Ideally
I can't even gather collectibles bcuz of it --"
in order to finish hw quest i need to get better gear score, best way to farm tomes are scenarios?
The best gear of that era
Your job gear is the entry level gear you use to finish the story to unlock tome vendors
yeah 50/60/70, alliance raid and MSQ roulette
The Job quest gear is initial tome gear for that part of the game (whether ARR or Expansions) that were taken out of tome circulation.
What are the easiest classes
should give you like 1k++
Dancer and red mage
and WAR/WHM for tanks and healers
What about dps
.
Dancer, red mage as mentioned above
"easiest" is kind of vague though. Do you mean mechanics/roation wise or most straight forward?
Is there a way to make gathering job easier ? Buying really good gear ? Or do you have good combos of spell ?
hey, does the iLVL of my Soul crystal affect the average of my overall iLVL?
can wait till you unlock firnament later in heavensward
Well i just seem to be doing poor no matter which class I pick so I guess it would be rotation I have a hard time memorizing
No
what do you mean by doing poor
Ok i wanted to lvl up one job to 30 so i can recycle my items
soul crystals dont have ilvl
I picked warrior but I keep dying in trials and some dungeons
DPS is pretty well balanced so if you're hoping for something that's above all others you're not likely to find it.
Are you using your defensive Cooldowns?
Is your gear good, and yeah use cooldowns
Yeah I used healing and defensive skills
Then you're doing fine
this should help https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=StnOnwZEahE
I wanted to make an intro tanking guide, so I made an intro tanking guide. Is it a good guide? I think it's an ok guide for getting all the basics down. Gonna make something funny next time.

You are staggering your cooldowns, right?

Well this was much more concluded

For lv80... Weskalber for levelling
Hey guys, I have all gatherers at 80. For crafting, I have 80 Carpenter, Culinary, and 71 Alchemy (waiting for leves regen to get it to 80)
My question is what should I level next
The rest of them together
What crafting would benefit me?
All of them
All of them are beneficial
You should be doing all of them
Does crafting have any cross abilities?
No
No but they get mats for each other
Cross abilities donβt exist anymore
As you've probably noticed
Ah okay. I thought they did
when I hover over it, it does say "Item Level 30"
Carpetener occasionally needing leather and ingots, which arnour, leatherwork and blacksmith make
Cross abilities used to exist but got scrapped. For crafting they became identical.
all items and food have ilvl, but they don't matter would be a better way to phrase it
So you can make the mats yourself instead of wasting money
It's not factored in on the formula.
that's what I wnted to make sure. just trying to get my iLvl up for my Scholar
Ilvl is all your slots added together (weapon counts double) then divide by 13
thx
I main CUL and Alchemy. Which next crafter would benefit those two
Any tips on what to level up to make money during a new expansion ? I'm gearing up for end walker
Do all crafters
it does not affect your overall ilvl, no
Level crafters asap and sell new shit
Im doing all crafters but i want like a general idea on what to look out for. Like furniture or armor ?
Standard rules apply. Sell anything you're not using or bound to you and level your DoH/DoL.
New gear and items in general
Aii thanks
Especially furniture. And any new crafted sets. THey'll sell for quite a bit Day 1.
when do the male vieras get released?
Endwalker
November
Yes
Yes
Yes
Wait who?
like irl rabbit
Or rather, that they choose not to leave their secluded villages.
Soo, how do you get higher lvl grand company leves? Im only getting lvl25 ones lol
How do i unlock a dragoon job quest ? Im a level 37 lancer .. do i need to get past a certain msq ?
To unlock your class' job you need to be level 30, complete all of your class quests and the main scenario quest 'Sylph Management' (lvl 20 quest) to be able to pick up your job unlock quest. Once you've done the initial unlock quest, you will be given a soul crystal which you must equip to become your class' job.
Ahh okay, i just got my chocobo, is that far from the slyph quest ?
Not far
Hello, one question, Should I focus exclusively on completing the MSQ (I am at the quest "Another Time, Another Place" of HW) or should I be completing all the
i have found around?
Ahh alright. Thanks a bunch !
Depends on what you want to do.
will unlock additional content, while
will let you move forward through the story.
yeah it's recommended to finish all the blues as well
since the moogle event is ending soon and I'm mid SB should I get rushing so I don't have to suffer later?
I want the minions from the raids and the cards from the trials but like
what suffering has anything to do with the moggle event?
is it worth it?
ah ok, yeah sure
how bad do you want them lol
how bad is their drop rate
it's just cosmetics π some of them are hard to get
well it's definitely much easier if you get them from tomestone, that's for sure...
about as good as any other from what i see
is it worth it to rush everything now?
I'm not sure, I wouldn't
to me enjoyment reading the story takes priority over the cosmetics
The raid stuff is easily farmef
get Disembodied Head Resonator, that's for sure at least..
and all the hairstyles and ballroom etiquette
and if the ring is your thing, get it as well
what is the min rank I need for Bojza story?
Fully completed is 25
10 in southern front to do dr
then 25 in zadnor (it takes less time then it does to get to 10 dont worry)
how long the rank farm? Will it takes months?
2 days
People were rank 15 in SF after like 2 days
CLL gives a lot of mettle, get in if you had the chance
1 ce or fate in zadnor gives asmuch as cll or more lol
welp, lets try this here, how can I do the 70-80 crafter turn ins while still leveling them simotaniously
for the role quests
to unlock zadnor, need rank 15 or just 10?
to unlock zadnor, need rank 15 or just 10?
10
I don't understand?
Anyone kind enough to invite me on novice network?
. Just started few days back on Kujata
the crystarium turn ins are split that each share 2-3 crafters
idk if I wanna split the exp 3 ways
Wokayy. Hold on
or do 1 and leve the other 2
Just continue to do leves or ishgard restoration
There's not really a need to think so hard on it
you should focus on one craft
The crystarium quests alone aren't really going to level you 1:1 anyway so just play it by ear
if u want to level other craft, considering leve, collectible or firmament
culnarian just power-leve

what level is dwarven mythril files
lv75 should unlock all craft Iguess
what is this? i cant target it
That's the enemy for the WHM level... 54? job quest.
hmm just to confirm the 15xPneumite for Anima Relic is just once right?...
wondering What did I miss
once per relic iirc? the do-this-step-once-and-never-again-on-other-jobs is a new thing with ShB relic
ah yes, I misunderstood the quest. ty ty...
It's regarding the aetheric density part..
when you suspend new game +, can you hop to a new new game +?
no
It's the same steps for each Anima, but after doing the first one you can prepare all the gathering steps in advance.
what's the 2nd method beside the 4 man unsync'd A9S? like solo method? or should I just wait for the other 3 people to do it
If you're 80 you can possibly solo A1S but it's a lot slower
Brayflox hard mode
hmm solo lv 60 savage? is it possible?
I'm having a hard time soloing thordan/nidhogg ex for wondrous trail
Yes
or maybe the s mechanic is easier compared to the two ex trials?
The Ultimate Ballad Quest - it's not working for me. I fought the Ultima Weapon twice, once using Duty and once by clicking on the Entrance for "The Praetorium"... am I missing something?
All Alexander savage (except a8s) and all heavensward extremes have been soloed
It'd asking you to do the minstrel ballad version
Not the one in the praeotirum
hey does anyone know what "Your retainer xxxxxx has returned from a venture" counts as for log setup? (log filters)
ughhhhhhhh..... c'mon... I see it now
Minstrel ballads are classed as extremes and are harder than regular content
People don't que for it
They use party finder for them and unsync it to face roll
basically what's minstrel ballad? is it higher difficulty than normal extreme?
i just got it queued so, doing it now
Well if you're ultra lucky with the 5% chance of getting people who knows what theyre doing you'll maybe clear
or maybe that brayflox hard mode method
about to find out... really wish we could skip the scenes
If you can't skip the cutscenes you are once again not doing Ultima's Bane but rather the Praetorium instance.
is there something special exp on frontline ?
you mean pvp exp? just for title
it does gives job exp, so recommended to do it once a day
How am i supposed to queue properly? I was queuing for PotD for around 30 mins, saw someone come out next to me, click on the entrance and get party after 10 secs.

They probably did fixed party to go solo
hmm
Or on a different floor than you
yeah people usually queue 51++
Do people come out to the same Instance than you from a different floor?
odds are they're recycling the 1-10 or the 51-60 run. It's a fast turn over.
Each floor set is a different instance and different que
For the mogle event, whats the best way to farm for the currency at my state? (I am at the Dragonsong war Quests
)
Little question about spell of bosses : when the orange area disapear, it's 100% safe to attack the boss ? Because the spell seems to hit me, but i'm not sure if it does damage on me
can i level my jobs from frontline
You need to be out of the zone before it disappears
Once it disappears you can go back in
I know, but is it possible to enter My "lobby" instance(the one with a glowing Entry Point and Exit) coming from a different floor than the one i was last?
what's the name of the music that plays in a level 30 class quest
the one with the flute
yeah, queue with the class you want to receive exp with and you can change to your favourite pvp class inside
No
I have a friend that is inside a dungeon, and his healer quit. I have another friend who is signed for the same dungeon.
If i sign as healer, i will go to which party?
For 99% of the cases yes.
If itβs safe itβs 100% safe though.
But in some cases it is not
Ok thanks
now is actually best timing to level in frontline
so you can queue it now
after reset
I guess soloing is what happened then, kinda weird since i had just finished one and was expecting to at least 2 come with me and see them on my Joining. ("3/4")
basically the odd man out is due to connection delays.
i dotn remember it showing up in class quests though
Ok, it's because it's the 1st time i'm really trying to learn tank, i'm already a little undergear, so i don't want to take free damage. Thanks for answers
ah yeah, you'll get used to it. Have you got your healer chocobo yet? @pseudo pulsar
And one last question about gear in dungeons :
It's me or you have personal loot and "group" loot. I'm doing Qarn, and it seems each time i'm doing it, i get some piece of "Qarn set" without seeing them in "loot box" (need/cupidity)
You get 1 piece of gear guaranteed at the end of the dungeon
@patent citrus No, i'll will do it soon, i need to go to gridania for it i think
Everything else In rolled on
I'm wondering, but how many groups can I pull in Doma Castle after boss 1? When I just pulled the big mob + 2 small mobs, the party members tried to go forward, and it seemed that they were surprised when I stopped
no, not that one
the one that appears during the class quest final cutscene
leveling dungeons always reward one piece you do not already have in your inventory automatically
which class?
class or job
@faint flare Thanks, i understand now π
All of them with proper Cooldowns
And definitely a place to use invulns
if its the final job quest cutscene, uhh the only vids of that have MAJOR msq spoilers for heavensward
Wait, do you mean it's possible to go from wall to wall like holminster?
iirc all of them so far
it's like, "emotional moment" music
it's not the job quest music
it's the class quest music
level 30
just send me the name
here lol
yeah that works
dont look it up on yt, even thumbnails are spoilery unless youve finished hw
this doesn't seem right
I feel like mobs in doma castle are weak, so can I just pull all groups if healer is experinced (like Lv75+)?
no flute
flute shows up later
what's the quest name? lol
its the same track
If you're healer can handle it, go to town. You'll probably be expected to do so later on.
Wall to wall pulls are the norm in most cases, yeah
Though Stormblood trash is known to pack quite a punch... for some reason
I feel like you wlil still die if the healer doesn't DPS
you'll run out of cd cause the mobs will die too slow
so if the group wiped, you can just pull slower
I got a lot of complain from pulling in doma castle wall to wall for some reason
ohh after the fight lol
"that's too difficult" >.>
i thought yuo meant before it
Probably because of said Stormblood trash
yeah, i said final cutscene
for some reason the trash packs of that expansion actually hurt
Yup, scale your pulls foir the group and the situation. Wall to wall might work in one but not in another.
yeah lol sorry
if the healer said it's too difficult i just pull slower
Can i organize the light party list automatically so that the tank is at the top and not myself?
iirc you'll always be at the top but you can adjust the other grouping positions.
ahh ok, they really be saying take care of yourself first king
You should be able to set the party sort to put the tank at the top, regardless.
how does an item you make as weaver become materia enchanced?
that link explains /partysort with some examples
put materia in it
You meld it with materia
hey... still xp
maybe he meant pentamelding?... not sure
Noob Question (I know - seeking clarity) - currently playing on Trial Version -whats the best option for me:
- purchase the Complete Edition from SqEn website for same region,hold off applying the purchase until I have completed free trial?
- purchase and apply Complete Edition now (will I be subject to membership fee then?)
purchase now and apply code later...
You can buy it now and hold on to the code
Once you apply the code you will be subject to the monthly subscription fee after 30 days.
Are you ready to move on 60+ contents, @hasty ivy?
If you can live with the free trial restrictions you should definitely wait until you are done with it
sorted - cheers!!!!! π
Can't send Friend requests on free trials?
No
Trial people can be invited by others
Pretty much all of the free trial restrictions are to stop bots
sad but necessary :/
If the friend owns the game
One of you needs a paid version
They can
I see
You can ask someone else to invite both of you into a party
and the 3rd person can then leave
that works
ppl in novice network are usually willing to help out
Oka
damnit thought I was in general
I just did doma castle, but we collapsed with 2 groups
I just have a general question, but if I can see that I missed the adds of several mobs, how I can get them back?
Just curious, those of you who play with controller, do you hold it with your index on the bumper and middle on the trigger, or just use your index to go back and forth between the bumper and trigger?
It would be nice if the members can approach me, but that's not usually the case, and they just stand there until they die
If you're the tank? Make sure you have your tank stance on. If your party members are away from you and not kiting enemies on them to you, you can use your ranged ability to pick up aggro again.
use your ranged enmity
Index on R1/L1, middle on R2/L2
or you can just go there and spam aoe...
I definitely have my tank stance on, and ranged enmity only gets aggro of 1 enemy
feels so awkward for me, like i'm going to drop it. Maybe i'll get used to it. I'm also 6'6" and have large hands so maybe i'm just not at all who they designed these things for. I'll keep trying it though, thanks.
btw, I wrote add instead of aggro ... sorry about it
since at that point, your dps probably won't care about positional...
Is there a list of how many restrictions come with the trial?
Just as a reminder, all tanks have AoE abilities and Sprint.
Also, hopefully the DPS and Healer know to bring adds to you.
When I hold it, I use the second joint, not the tips of my fingers in a natural hold. Ring and pinky fingers I loop around the bottoms of the grips.
This is what happened to me just now
- Healer threw Regen before I took the adds, so the mobs rushed to healer, but he just stood there
- There was another DPS who took the adds of several others, so there were mobs in 2 directions
What should I have done?
That makes sense. Also, checking my PS controller, it feels easier to hold like that than this xbox elite controller I was using. Triggers aren't sticking up and out so much. Might just try that one. I imagine it's mostly just something i'll get used to since I don't trust my ring and pinky fingers to hold things right now, lol.
hmm the aggro will go to you again if you hit them with your aoe
just keep spamming your aoe? π€
if they don't want to go to you.. you go to them...
Run to the healer and AoE. Pick up aggro on those adds, then move to where the dps was and pick those up the same way.
I'm warrior, and overpower is only forward while Mythril Tempest range is small
If you got AoE's, use them. Get the mobs off the Healer, let the DPS suffer a bit as punishment for not bringing the mobs to you... then grab them cause they're lazy assholes 9 times out of 10.
And? Still use them.
Noob here is there an optimal way to arrange skills i been playing on default order i unlock them 
Should I do overpower or Mythril Tempest when I want to grab the aggro of mobs around healer?
anything you are comfortable with
Depends on what class.
just make sure you hit them all
Im playing lancer plan on playing samurai once i get there cause it looks cool
You can also use Equilibrium or Thrill to heal and generate some aggro to help pull mobs off
I'm guessing the 15 emotions are fastest done with dungeons, as always?
Whichever is easier. Usually Mythril Tempest is going to be a better spam option to recover in that situation since it's neither directional nor requires a specific target.
Thanks all for your advice! I will rush to the healer, do a several Mythril tempests (usually mobs are surrounding the healer in circle), and get the mobs off
Question, I started trying to level gunslinger on the side while i go through the story on my summoner, where would i get the gear for my gunslinger so i dont lack behind in higher level dungeons? I know the hall of novice gives you decent gear at the beginning, but what do i get later on?
Get your combos sorted together, with your finishers next to eachother. If you're using F1-12 for your hotbar, set up Jumps there... kindly set Elusive APART from yourj umps tho. Apart from that, I got no more advice.
Wait, do those healing actions generate aggro as well? If that's the case, can I just go to the center and do Thrill of Battle while doing Mythril Tempest?
A solid approach is to stay with your AoEs until you get down to 1-3 mobs. Makes keeping a hold on them easier.
If you're gonna do multiple Tempests, might as well combo them with Overpower. or am I getting my AoE's mixed up? Also no that kidn of heal doesn't steala ggro form the now-dead healer.
All actions generate some aggro...Healing generates half the regular amount but it's buff by tank stance
Overpower -> tempest
Back in the old days warrior pulled with it cause Defiance, Tomahawk+ Equilibrium was an insane amount of snap aggro
I miss those days.
Thanks all! I also have some questions about pulling several groups of mobs

A brisk guide on tanking endgame dungeons and doing Big Pulls in FFXIV.
--Gameplay from FFXIV version 5.2~5.3
What's inside:
π‘ A Speedy Overview of a Tank's Goals/Responsibilities in a dungeon setting
β
How you help the other roles
βοΈ Why you should do Big Pulls + How to do them!
Check out the follow-up after this one: https://youtu.be/IcvZ7N...
Pull a group, do a couple of AoE's, then move to the next. Lather, rinse repeat until you have all of them then do big group strats.
^ And kindly remember that WAR is a class that's hellbent on Self Sustain, especially the closer you get to 80.
Thanks, I will see it. When I see a group, I usually do Tomahawk + Mythril Tempest once (overpower usually misses 1-2 mobs), but dps attacks the mob groups when I move, so their aggro goes to dps when I usually go to the second group
And if your DPS focus on one mob to the point they pull off, then it's on them.
Just dont pull everything die then complain about the healer being bad
hmm make sure you can see all the boss health

If you're targetting the centre mob of the pack you'll usually not miss mob
it's dynamic, so you can't really treat it like "do this and do that once"
And people like Seby need to be shanked with a chainsaw between the legs. Anyway...
do it more than once if it's necessary
How do u shank someone with a chainsaw
When I try to do several AoE's, healder and dps thinks that I just want to go 1 group at a time and start doing things like holy or create domes, which is a bad idea to move then. Any suggestions on how to get aggro + move on?
Do a couple AoEs. IF DPS is pulling off you then, hopefully they're smart enough to bring the add to you. If not, a quick ranged should pull it back to you.
Do 2 aoes and go
is there a way to move the achievement notification banner in the UI? I can't get it away from the middle of the screen
How do i leave PotD quickly?
So you must of moved before
Open the duty finder window and leave
Default key for Duty Finder window's U, right? Or is that a re-bind I did?
It's usually the healer who puts regen on me
Yes
Then aye, press U and Leave Duty.
A couple of AoEs should get aggro back onto you easily. If you're concerned, throw a third one out.
ty
I'm wondering, but is it possible to start getting aggro of mobs with AoE instead of Tomahawk if I want to have a big pull? Or, should I just start with Tomahawk -> several AoEs?
It is people just use tomahawk to pull them from further away faster
^
tomahawk from range, then when they are in range overpower->tempest
keep doing that for several packs, as many as you and healer can handle
then spam overpower-tempest combo
with mitigation skills
You can also stutter step backwards to hit things as you run
Quite frankly, as long as you're up front you don't need to lead off with ranged attacks. The mobs will come to use first then pop your AoE rotation.
^
they will aggro by just seeing you lol
but still do aoe
overpower is a cone so youll ahve to select a mob and line it up with the rest
its pretty wide so if its 3 mobs per pack (pretty standard) in a triangle you can target the one in front
Every tank needs the aoe skill DRK has
Which requires no targeting
It would be way better
Thanks a lot guys! You are experts!
but you get used to it
second aoe is a spin
I personally find warrior to be much easier than DRK, because it can heal itself. I sometimes get killed by beginner healer if I do drk
Every other WAR skil lwould ike a word with you.
The cone isn't even that bad, its fairly wide
its like 120 degrees
Just learn to use it better tbh
you mean cause they get TBN at lv 70? that shouldn't be a problem
i'm sure you guys get asked this a lot, but if i were to buy the game on sale now, can I save the 30 days playtime until i reach the end of the free trial content
You can cover a wide space fairly well
Yes
Yes marcus
Yes marcus
yes if you buy it now just save the code until done with trial
Just don't enter the code till you want to
Buy the Complete Edition, save the code, use it when you're ready.
aight thank you guys 
Also trial does not end its unlimited play time
yeah youre forced to sub the instant you redeem a code for the game
so stretch out that trial lol

yes
complete is starter (arr+hw, trial content basically) plus shadowbringers (shadowbringers + stormblood)
what's the difference between the pc and the pc download options for platform?
How does FC housing work
U mean in terms of getting one?
Iβm mean like, does the owner of the FC also have the ability to own a personal house, or does their house become the fC house
Yea FC house is seperate
It belongs solely to the fc
Owner can have their own little(or big) house
How does the mount etc from collectors edition of endwalker look? π€
Thereβs only 4 personal housing wards right?
Or a name of it to Google
Yes for now, 6.1 they add ishgard housing
Isn't PC a Physical disk/code? PC collector's edition is not available but Digital download is, i think.
well there's 4 housing districts
Will you have to have endwalker to access the Ishgard district?
No?
But none of the wards specifically are for personal/fc
Thanks for the video! That helped a lot. Just wondering, but how many pulls do you think is sufficient? Is 3+ groups possible to pull as well?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r2wCRUGi2Ec @sleek needle
So any of the plots in a housing area can become a personal or FC house?
Thanks

Yes all open plots r up for grabs
yes, any plot can be purchased as an fc or personal house
Oooh, needed this O.O.
above lv 51 usually wall to wall is ok.. there are some exceptions of course...
since all tanks got their invul and all the classes have unlocked their aoe
I think the last one is scholar being art of war lv 49(?)
Oh, so you cloud have a tiny plot with an FC house on it, and then a few streets over the largest house on the block is for personal use
this makes killing groups of mob really fast
Can't believe i'm getting CE just for the scythe. Ah well, more money for SE.
Also, just wondering how I can find out if the healer has some capabilities with healing large pull in usual parties. I think it is miserable for beginner healers to heal large pull, because wall to wall holminster was a nightmare for me when I encountered it for the first time
Can't go wrong with that. Worth it to me.
Every expansion is a CE for me.
yes
Don't forget to grab all edglord glamys before 6.0 to complete the look
Would it be possible for you to give me some exceptions of dungeons with strong mobs?
Given I'm gonna be a Reaper main after I beat EW as a DRK? Aye, it will be,
But FC houses also have personal chambers, making them bigger on the inside?
fc chambers aren't really that big
The rooms r seperate instances
Full Cryptlurker Maiming here I come!
I stg Cryptlurker Maiming and Reaper were a match made in Heaven.
i can only think of ala migho? and mt gulg?
they're just small rooms by themselves
best way is to test it yourself I guess...
The chambers are instanced separately, but theyβre technically inside the house
I can't turn in HQ-items for supply and provisioning missions, that I bought from the market? How am I suppose to do the weekly challenge then?
Bardam's Mettle is one of those dungeons that can be a bit painful if you're doing it with augment shire, has a tendency to catch people off guard. you can still do wall to wall, but just have to be mindful @leaden ginkgo
oh yeah true bardam mettle...
That's a good start and I'm 100% sure they made it edgy just for reaper
what do you mean exactly that you can't turn in hq?
like can show a screenshot
I have a challenge log saying "turn in 5 HQ items to your GC". I've bought 5 weapons from the market, but I don't see them in the turn-in menu
I usually went 1 group at a time in Bardam. Any others? I found holminster and dusk vigil to be difficult, but many people tend to large pull there
Lol the aoe talk is still going
you can't just blindly buy random things off the marketboard for the provisioning and supply missions
Damn
its a daily list of crafted/gathered items (for crafter/gatherers you've unlocked) that request items to turn in
lately ive seen some vids of people slipping and falling using the play dead emote and ive heard its a macro, does anyone here have it?
you need to look at what's being requested first before
Can ya get loathsome memories of dying from Zadnor?
What level do people normally start using potd to level
15 usually
1?
holminster and vault can both catch people off guard, but again same as bardam in that you can technically pull wall to wall. just have to be mindful
1 also works but hunting logs are super quick
so the only way is to craft HQ items by myself? and what if I'm, let's say, culinarian? It just means I invested into craft, and game still blocks me from doing the challenge, because I can't turn in food?
no, you can buy the items
potd xp scales with level so doing hunting logs from 1-15 is generally faster
you need to make sure that its an item being requested for the day
How long does it take to go from 55 to 80 in purely farming potd
how and where
Not sure, but i find doing castrum 3 times the best way
you can either talk to the personnel officer or look at it thru the timers window
or if you wanna really optimize it go to a lv 60 zone and have a friend kill mobs that you tag with a ranged ability or something
replied to the wrong thing, fam?
takes like 10 mins to get to lv20
Yes i did
and then potd from there
Fml
you really do not want to use potd for 61-80 though
very long. do heaven on high from 61-70 and save the queen content for 71-80
Start from around Lv50. Until there, you can use Squadrons, which is far less stressful and more exciting than potd
exp stops scaling once you hit 60, so its going to take quite a bit longer if you stick with it
can someone answer this 
Im trying to get all classes to 80 so I needed to know the best way
@high otter this is what my supply and provisioning mission request looks like for today
what do you mean by gunslinger, that isnt a job in the game
machinist?
The one with the gun is a machinist lol
yes sorry
Do you have the items in your bag?
from 1-50 you can buy gear in starting cities
yes, you have to have the item on you to turn in
51-60 you can get it in ishgard from vendors as well
machinist he means?
but at that point youll be getting dungeon gear
so if you start at 30, use lv30 gear from starting cities
and just use what dungeons give you from there
@stable herald Not sure, but i find doing castrum 3 times the best way
Gotcha
lv30 gear is at any vendor in any starting city?
Thanks bud
at 50/60/70 buy gear with tomestones of poetics in starting cities/ishgard/kugane (sundry splendors near aetheryte)
correct
For healer and tank, just use dungeons. It's faster than anything. For dps, deep dungeons might be good.
Can you up the download speed on the ffxiv launcher like you can in steam or no?
Wow, mb, I thought it's expert delivery. Turns out completely different thing
Hey guys, quick question, how long would it take to clear heaven on high with a full party? π
yeah they are different things, both done thru the same npc tho
I have the same download speed on both , dont think u can change it unless u buy better internet
Doing castrum everyday is really time consuming btw
By clear you mean to floor 100?
yep
a couple of hours
I have 100 on steam 10 on launcher lmfao but gotcha all good
3-4 hours for experienced party
its one of those things you should ideally set aside as a potentially all day thing especially if you've never done a full clear before
it might be difficult to go to 100F if there are several unexperienced (especially tank). It's fine for dps to die all the time though
higher floors are going to require you to be a lot more cautious
I see, would need a solid static party then dang.
It's already hard enough to find a party willing to go do old content XD
could do it with randoms but having a consistent group would be easier
all for that emyrean glam haha
could also try and take the challenge of soloing it
hoh is generally considered a fair bit easier to solo than potd, but its not that much easier
you still need to be mindful of everything and how you play it
if you were to clear it solo though, which class would be best?
You should get an experienced tank with lots of Empyrean Potion. Then, it should be fine even if the rest are unexperienced
gunbreaker is considered the best for soloing, but you can technically do it on any job
Maygiβs HoH 1-100 Handbook (Solo/Party) ~ INTRO ~ Welcome to my Heaven-on-High guide! Yes, I copy-pasted my POTD guide for this. Iβll update the basic information bits later~ I personally really love deep dungeons and have solo cleared both POTD and HOH (view some media on my Twitch chann...
Don't do solo at first. Honestly, it will take few hundred hours to do solo
Alright I won't XD
is a great resource that covers it, they also have a potd guide if you're interested in tackling that
Thanks
quick question: is there an updated version to this?
https://i.imgur.com/BlnLLeX.png
Nah, just really in it for the Empyrean Glam
That necklace and ring calling my soul
Honestly, the first step to do deep dungeons is to rise your attack and defense to 99 and gathering potions
pretty sure we did not, no
too bad
Any suggestion on looking for a group? Like a very active LFG discord or something? The PF isn't really great at looking for a good static group.
nice! thanks again
gl o/
Is that discord to do the old content in groups?
any good websites to find locations for monsters to farm for mats? kinda something that shows them like we have in-game for gathering stuff
and by good i mean, not gamerescape :^)
what's the fastest lvl 70 dungeon?
hell's lid
I used this discord to get a party for a horse, btw
the discord i linked is for palace of the dead/heaven high. there is a few min ilvl/sync'd discord listed in #resources if that's your interest
What level do you get your classes Soul Crystal again? Was it 30 or 50?
30

Hi, new tank here, i see wall to wall pulling reference a lot in videos
Does the synthetic garlean fabric actually have a REALLY low drop rate or smthng?
whats the quickest way of leveling up other classes?
i have tried this once in a while but dont the mobs deaggro?
really cheap in marketboard right now
i think i saw it once and figured it was the normal way
Only in like copperhead mines
yep it was there
No, its very rare for dungeon mobs to deaggro
Does 1 pack deaggros
basically only a thing in some ARR dungeons
Just to make sure I don't misunderstood anything, this is where my pre-order bonus code will pop up once it's ready, right? Or is this where the code for the actual game will pop up?
the key you will receive is the bonus items
there will be another key on release date.
you can use the bonus items key now once it is processed.
I see, sometime before the early access date I assume (the actual expansion key)?
ya
Nice, thanks for the help!
whens a good time to start delving into lifeskills (idk what the term is for this game)? Im a returning player who finished at least the realm reborn story quests to give a context
Whenever you want
Hi, currently trying to obtain Yojimbo card, does anyone know if it matters if sync'd vs unsync'd for drops ?
Whatβs September 14 on ff14? And whatβs Virgo signβ¦
They are in order of the actual months when u select them
Cool
and the signs have a short description of the deity iirc so pick the one you like
Those are just for roleplay mostly
They dont mean much in game , u can pick what ever sign u want
think it drops directly to your inventory too? i ran it like 3 times before noticing i got the card in my inventory despite never seeing it in the rolls lol
Thank you
there's a normal pegasus

oh perhaps just nightmare mount?
ah then that one
you can farm all those unsync
But i dont know if im willing to spend 10 mil gil when im still new to the game lol
oh for nightmare
ah okay thanks for that
my bad
still trying T_T 10th run already
just hoards from 150+
oh really? ok
Can that pegasus be bought the one u linked
the arion mount is kind of a pegasus too, but that's coming in november
from digital collectors endwalker
no, it's untradable
you have to do restoration to get the normal pegasus
gotta grind the ishgard scrips
wait that one isn't tradable?
Just do 8 fete sessions
afaik all scrips stuff are tradable π€
Ez
no, old diadem stuff isn't tradeable
I see, ok ty ty
Does anyone know the name of the mount u get from farming a fate with the same name as the mount
Someone told me its name but i forgot
Its like a big blue lightning mount
Ixion
Just two times gold completion of the fate
Then you exchange the dropped items at rhalgrs
there is also q free white horse you get for unlocking whm i think
in conjurer guild
Thats just the conjurer unicorn
ah
Not a pegasus lol
hello all, pretty new to the game, just joined the discord!
yeah
A pegasus is a horse with wings
ixion isn't pegasus π
The nightmare Pegasus that drops in potd hoards can be sold on MB but its usually in the millions of Gil
Or just get a gold Khloe certificate, whicheverβs easier
Yes - EDIT no you can get it from wondrous tails gold certificate
How long does it take on average with a hunt group
Or just get a gold Khloe certificate, whicheverβs easier
Oh I forgot about gold. never get more than one line π
How do u get the khloe certificate
Or pray for it to appear in a future moogle tomestone event
Apparently it was in a past one @heavy wadi
The ixion fate is fast with lots of people. Join a hunt/fate discord for your dc and youβll get pings because people will spot it and want more to join
yeah hunt seems the easiest
outside of the rings for each class, is there a reward for doing all of the hunt logs?
What are khloe certificates from
just a quick question, if I redo ARR for the free Fantasia in NG+
does it appear as a reward for it or no?
Ok one last question does anyone have a hunt discord link for crystal lol
that one i dont have
no rewards from NG+
that is pain.
Start with Centurio Hunts which is for all DCβs. Not sure of crystal specific since Iβm not on crystal
credit card to mogstation π
check here https://xiv.sleepyshiba.com/masterlist/ (can't open well from mobile sorry!!)
A comprehensive, filterable list of useful links to guides, communities and more.
#resources should give you the link for centurio hutns too
when do u use scathe as a THM/BLM?
ideally, never
generally don't want to use scathe if you can help, but its your extremely last resort for movement
or if something is about to die and you wouldn't be able to get a cast off, can use scathe
why can't I do rogue quest π
like unlocking rogue
are you level 10
have you done your class quests
have you done your class quests
you need to do any level 10 class quest
hmm guess not
there's your problem
that must be far
Whats the best way to farm tombs of revelation?
Hey everyone!
I have a question. I have alot of reagents in bag. Is there a place to put them? Like in gw2 I can deposite crafting material.
gotcha thanks
you can store that stuff in the chocobo saddlebag and retainers
How exactly does retainer work?
What is a retainer?
A retainer is a private NPC that will act as a personal bank for the player, holding up to 175 different items, that can be summoned to any of the Summoning Bells around the world. Retainers also act as your means to sell on the Market Board.
How to unlock a retainer
First, you must complete the quest The Scions of the Seventh Dawn then go to speak to any of the Retainer Vocates located in the market district of any of the major cities.
What are Retainer Ventures?
Ventures are the means to send out your retainers on missions to bring back items for you and can be unlocked by completing the quest 'An Ill-conceived Venture' (UlβDahn), (Gridania), (Limsa Lominsa)
What mount is this?
Hey gang! Does anyone know of a good FFXIV Let's Play that doesn't have the player giving voice-over/commentary throughout the playthrough? I've been looking for one but most of the ones I see have reactions and commentary and that's not what I'm looking for atm. Thanks in advance! 
construct.. uhhh something, from bozjan clusters
can get it with those at the resistance quartermaster in bozjan southern front and zadnor
ty
how the transmog item work? if i want to save an item for cosmetic?
i dont think there's any like that on YT, but you can do nNG+ to re-do the story if you want
!faq glamour
'What is Glamour and how do I unlock it?'
Glamour is the process of changing an equipment's look into a different item with the use of Glamour Prisms. You can unlock the ability to glamour by doing the level 15 quests 'If I Had a Glamour' in Vesper Bay, West Thanalan. Although not required, you can unlock the ability to dye gear with the nearby quest 'Color Your World'. You can get the Orange Juice needed by talking to the nearby Merchant & Mender. Items used for glamouring are not lost upon use.
'How do I glamour? Where do I get more Prisms?'
Glamouring is done by right-clicking (Square or X on controllers) on the equipment you want to glamour and choosing the option 'Cast Glamour'. After clicking this you choose the item you want the appearance on the right half of the menu that opened up. You can get more Glamour Prisms by either crafting them after completing the quest 'Absolutely Glamourous', buying them from your Grand Company Quartermaster, or buying them from the marketboard.
Is there a way to keep track of self buffs like "Disembowl" besides clicking on self and seeing the buff under hp bar?
your buffs should be on your ui
Look at your buff bar
Is it "Status info" windows?
yeah
quick question, just re-subscribed to the game, looks like im capped in Allagan Tomestones of Poetics, what should I do with those ? im lvl 73 PLD
50/60/70 gear
from sundry splendors in starting cities/ishgard/kugane
the blue bag icon
i have 1 more question about the glamour, whenever i get new item in my inventory, i instantly get that cosmetic as a options and i can destory that item?
I will see if I can get the buff when using Disembowl.
Ok thanks will check it out π it's worth it or should I wait for lvl 80 @random girder ?
you are using it in a combo though right
those gear sets are for lv 50 60 and 70
oh ok
80 gear is bought with the other tomestones
nope, thats not how glam works
could anyone remind me what double seats mounts i can get for free in game?
got it thanks
E4S is a 4-seater
i guess i need to save the item i want for?
Yea but I dont reckon I can see it as I moved my info windows to center of screen
correct, thats what the glam dressor is for
i know that there is some others
click on them and click on the little settings icon, you might have unchecked them
to the point where they are invisible
that's the easiest multi-seat mount thats free
in the inn?
if you collect all the draggos from the ShB ex's that one is a two- seater @tidal yarrow
yep
skyslipper, landerwaffe, cerberus, and astrope are the in-game multiseater mounts
can't i buy the 4 seat car with mgp?
what's the bike called again?
the regalia can be bought with mgp yes, but its a cross over event item
which will be running in sept.
oo okay..
and also yeah the al-iklil is 2 seater
200k MGP. Be ready by September.
multi-seat mounts are a "get gud or pay up kinda thing"
sorry what's that?
well, at least until the regalia comes back
its the bike from getting all of the field records from zadnor and bozja
https://i.imgur.com/MFtBGnl.jpeg
This is my PoV. I cant see the disembowel buff if i dont click on target self under the hp bar
@random girder am I doing something wrong? looks like the stuff I can buy is way underleveled with the one I get from MSQ ?
Actually you'll just have to wait for the benchmark in October, which is 4 months from now 
you most likely disabled the hud element that shows your buffs then @clever ether
because it is level 50. you are level 70\
Endwalker is when you get to actually play him.
how do I choose the 70 stuff ?
the lvl 70 items are going to be in rhalgr's reach or kugane
in kugane
oh ok
60 stuff is in ishgard or idyllshire
sorry π kinda lost
That's still 4 months though. Lol
then my 2nd question is .. how do I find Kugane on the map ?

did you skip 
the story ?
its on the far east section of the teleport list
yes
well no but.. returned to FFXIV one hour ago after a veryyyyyyyy long break
ah ok lol
so, i'm like a noob today π
found out how to go to Kugane with the teleport button btw π but.. can't buy this gear as he does not accept the tomestones
so Rhalgr's Reach probably
Look at combat
yeah choose scaevan gear

gil farm time
