what is that buff called given when leveling low leveled jobs?
yy the pet i know its aoe
armory bonus?
arcanist/summoner/scholar is a pet job so yeah its basically your pet until uh
you get outburst
at 40
on smn
and 46 art of war on sch
i might roll to a bard
idk
my issue is leveling
i dont feel like my alt leveling is good
it is not very hard to get to 30 by running potd
Look at the rotation tab of the guide
it takes a while but thats all leveling
whats potd?
Are you making a new character every time?
palace of the dead
never done that
The armory bonus isn't shown as a buff, you'll just see +100% exp on all gains
if i have a lvl 1 character can it use the exp ring?
ok
this quest here
unlocks potd
which is good for leveling
any previous requierements?
Finishing the second dungeon of the game
yeah if youre lv 17 or above you can unlock that
grab any job in the starting cities and level from 1 lol
uhmmm
but doing hunting logs from at least 1-5 or 1-10 is faster than potd
Go a bit further in the story
^
!faq jobs
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.
just bought the game but free company is still greyed out, how do I join one?
Get invited
apply to one by examining a person that's in one
Thanks, i'll read it all tomorrow, when i have more energy, hopefully.
lol, ok
can someone please link the site to get a fc?
!faq communityfinder
If I do new game plus does that mean all my current story progress is halted? or can I do new game plus and new story stuff at the same time
Halted.
Damn
hey guys does the ruby doomsday quest have any important story/lore stuff?
are fc's world lockeD?
Yes
You get to beat up a bunch of kids.
ah ok, guess I'll do it 👍
Well, it is an amazing side story.
The ending of it is one of the best
Yep
I was going to use new game plus to level alternate jobs but I guess not then
Ng+ doesn't give you anything
Ruby doomsday is a major side plot.
I skipped the first cutscene in the quest, can I watch it again from the inn?
It is not limited to one quest btw, it is a whole side story with 3 trials and a solo duty.
ohh ok
Some you can rewatch some don't arvz.
ok I'll just youtube it
What is the best way to level alternate jobs then
!faq altlvlguide
Thank you
Question if you were to start a steam account then download base game on mog but had dlcs on steam would you have to rebuy the dlcs
does the resistance quest "in the queen's image" need to only be done once per character?
Hmmm yeah I do not wish to do that
Yes.
Are there any must have purchases from the Mogstation?
No
No.
Decidedly not. It's all optional.
Are there any QoL from the Mogstation?
level skips
The closest thing to P2W on the mogstation is extra retainers, which act as your main “bank” of item storage.
And even then most people do just fine with the 2 free retainers the game gives.
Not reallllly
I'm trying to pickup this game up again and actually work my way to somewhat end game
I would describe msq and level jump pots as pay to not grind (or pay to not play in the case of msq jump)
rather than an advantage from buying them

hey guys where do I get the best level 80 gear?
Mix of eden promise savage geae, upgraded revelation gear and finished relic weapon
hmm what about just from a vendor in exchange for tomestones or whatever
What’s a good recap for arr and a bit of post arr? Took a break and im starting to blank on some story bits
Only via tomes is cryptlurker then augment it by buying upgrades via nier raid coins and/or Hunts
is there a way to change the size of the inventory ui seperately?
Page up/down with the inventory selected
does it stay that way?
Yes
@tribal apex just ARR or all the expansions
any crafters able to craft my friend "Suzakus Flame-kissed rod" if he gave the materials?
Hello
hmm but thats zooming in and out for me
oh ARR and some post ARR @tribal apex I suggest this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p97bk54H1B0
If you don’t mind reading try this https://docs.google.com/document/d/1je6Vyv2zhiAt2Rn7eBOMg5fOMk-59U5gd8YBx3zd-zw/mobilebasic
is there anything special about the random level 50s spread about in low level areas?
Make sure the inventory is selected by clicking on iy
I’m at level 52 atm do pretty soon trainee be mainly done. So I’m wondering if I’ll get the game or not. My doubt is will I fine people to play? Cause so far it’s been a very lonely experience
Hunt mobs. A lv50+ thing
ah okay
The over world generally stays pretty empty due to most of the main content of the game being in instances content like the duty finder
Outside of doing content, most people clump in the cities, mainly near market boards
didnt work, but fyi you can just rickt click it works too
Super casual returning player. Really just did the story through stormblood my first time, then came back and did the main shadowbringers campaign. Now coming back again. Didn't really do much outside of MSQ and messing around lvling other jobs. I kinda started the squadron stuff but am not realizing I might have had it set up wrong. Cant for the life of me get the lvl40 promotion done with full lvl46+ units. is there a good guide I could use to fix up my squadron?
But will@I find people to play with level60+ and people@to@do@the easy dungeons. Or is everyone focused in super endgame stuff
Yes, that's what roulettes are for
Roulettes force higher level people into lower level content
Everyone you got for all your dungeons so far have been higher level people being synced down
dont worry you won't have trouble finding a party 🙂
Hello
Is the only way to get Antiquated Welkin Half Sleeves is through job quest?
Google is not being very helpful
Lv60 job gear right
Centurio seals at the Forgotten Knight
In ishgard
You get the upgraded, Welkin version
Which is dyeable
does the dravanian forelands count as being in the gyr abania region?
Sigh. The XP granted has been stingy throughout 2.2. Should I try to squeeze in duty roulettes between MSQs?
You don't need the xp if you're in post arr
That's why it's low
So you don't overlevel
Your level means nothing
I see
No point hitting 80 if you're story is still in the 50s
You can't do content higher than your story progress
No. Gyr abania regions are what shows under the Gyr abania flag in the teleport list
Hey everyone. I wanna run more Extreme/ Savage level content. Whats the best way to start running more of those?
Party finder
Should I make my own PFs?
Ok... i've beat Could deck a lot already... and I wanna do more... but I just don't wanna piss people off with being a noob in practice parties lol
Make your own
I guess thats redundant tho huh lol
Practice are called practice for a reason
You ARE GOING TO DIE
People who get mad at that point
understood lol
Alot
Are dumb
most people are very helpful, just let them know you're a noob
While learning
You set the expectations
As long as you check guides prior so you have some loose understand its fine
But they chose to be a knob
You're learning the timing and movement
I just did a boss fight for the first time in a party of 8, and I died like 5 times, no one got mad at me 🤷♂️
oh right yea
..cape westwind?
cinder drift
It's hard to die to Cape westwind unless you minimum ilevel it
yo im thinking about getting the game since its on sale. wondering whats the draw to it vs eso or wow or runescape
the fantastic story
story and music is why most people play this tbh
though it is very very fun even without that
i mean, the free trial is incredibly generous
so
And constant, reliable updates
you could buy it, save the code
and try free trial
if you dont like it, sell code
you dont even need to buy it to play the first like 50 hours
yea i made an account and started but cant continue on the same one
huh why
hahah yea actually 50 is just ARR (the first part), then you get heavensward, another 50
started on steam?
cause if uninstall the demo u cant use same account
yes you can
i tried and it said this account doesnt have access to trial
did you play it on steam or standalone first
did you try it steam this time
no
hm
do you have it on steam or standalone
if it was steam then it should still be in your list
just grayed out
i dont own the game currenttly
!faq mogstation
Log in there
^
And check your account type
free trial
So my friend can't load into FFXIV -- he can log into his account via Steam, as well as the character selection, but the moment he gets to actually loading the map it gets stuck. The moogle keeps doing their little animation, but he never actually loads in, and he can't close the client except via task manager.
Any suggestions? :<
!faq freetrial
Can you use Riding Maps more than once?
No
Thanks
*Solved
Is it possible to buy the game and not use it but to have it there for the ending of the free trial? (which one is the best full collection or shadowbringers?)
Yes
You can buy and hols the code until latee
You need complete edition to fully upgrade
Just shadowbringers from trial doesn't work cause you don't own the game
Since it's looking like £14 for the collection is probably the best time to take it.
Hi, been searching all over the internet for what in game stuff do I get if I get the endwalker's collector edition
does anyone knows?
thank you, may I ask what is the link for that?
I see, thanks 😄
There's multiple different icons for it
no, it was an indicator of how difficult the mob was but it basically means very little these days
mostly a carry over from 1.0
anyone idea when next login campaign will happen?
nope
is there a way to make enemy name plates thicker and show debuffss applied by me on them?
and ideally make them tile rather than overlap one another too
Nope to all of those :/
are there any addons that allow that?
addons like that aren't really a thing in this game
damn
is it cause they are against tos, there are no easy tools to make it, no one has bothered to make any or a combination of the above?
since all addons are tos there arent as many devs
addons don't go beyond just ui reskins and damage meters, usually
i did look at addons, and most of the ones i saw for ff were some graphical ones
or minor colour palette changes
:/
well those are more texture mods or reshade
not ui changes
addons are not really a thing
in the traditional sense
TL;DR: don’t harass people using add-ons or tell random people you’re using them.
Simply having them installed 99% of the time won’t get you in trouble
we got a lot of glam mods
I have full scaeven set. I am looking for ways to upgrade my ilvl from 400. I see a weapon i510 being sold for VERY cheap. Is it worth buying?
yes
yo if i have a character that i really like the look of but want to play on diff server can i copy the way he looks somehow?
During World of Darkness can someone please explain how Cerberus chains work?
kinda sad there's no like weakauras equivalent
Save their character appearance info on the character select screen
weakauras would be straight up cheating in this game
Right click on the character on the character selection and save the info
Console players have no access to mods so ones that influence gameplay are generally more punished
is there actually a 2x mettle buff multiplier if you're nearby a critical engagement when another player wins it?
Oh ty, I thought people in shout chat were just trying to boost their egos by having others watch them
But after the third time I thought maybe they werent kidding
well, since i can't mess with nameplates, is there a way to make tab targeting better? cause it just selects any target that's on the screen rather then the ones that are in front of me
People nearby a duel victory get double mettle from everything (except Dalriada and Cll) for an hour
I really wish I knew that since someone won a 1v1 about 40 minutes ago and ive been grinding fates nonstop to hit 25... lol. Thank you.
If they’re in active combat with you, you can click the enemy list to target them from there
how do i know a message sent? my internet is really fucking unstable and i have no way to tell if the message i sent went through before i dc
i wish, but not as far as im aware
What message
oh, is there a way to cycle through that list with a keybind?
No
i mean, tab
F1-F8 for your party thats about it right?
you can also cycle through using mouse wheel in keybinds
theres a setting for that
Tab generally cycles left to right through visible mobs
like, ctrl mousewheel works
You can manipulate your camera to move mobs out of view for cycling
it will target enemies that appear in the corner of my screen that i'm not in combat with and might even be out of range to hit
yeah true
Just move your camera so those mobs aren't visible
but yeah zooming in and out or moving camera helps
that is hella scuffed lol
Or just dont be lazy and click the mobs by yourself 
and way more effort than trying to click, which is annoying too
You don't really need to target specific mobs during pulls
you can click the mobs themselves
and overlap
but yeah if theres a ton stacked on top you dont need to target specifics really
Just find the largest hp stuff and aoe off it
Only for your targetted mob
but multi dotting doe
Bard or summoner
Doesn’t summoner have a skill that spreads the dot
i mean, i dunno. i've started playing the game on wednesday but i assumed that there are jobs that multi dot
Most of the time stuff dies too fast for u to dot everything
You dot mobs while pulling mainly
Summoner does it super easily with bane which spreads their dots to nearby enemies
THen spam aoe when tank stop
Can whm spread aero like summoner
No
No
Only summoner can spread dots
so far i've just been playing an archer and trying to click on enemies when moving to dot them up often results in me rotating the camera rather than targeting them at least 30% of the time
then use tab
I did.
i'm just way too used to wow's tab target
gotta tab a lot, thats the strat
There aren't many situations where you'll be multidotting in the overworld, soo that is kind of a moot problem
You should be able to go to the character config to filter target settings to only target specific things when you have your weapon out
It was hard for me to get used to final fantasy aswell, i played wow for 8 years and guild wars 2 for like 5 before coming here
It takes some time
To get used to
i've mostly just decided to give ff a shot while i wait out till wow's next patch
nah, sl is pretty damn good
Thats not what ive seen
not the channel to discuss how good or bad wow's expac is...
mb
i just can't help getting annoyed by random tiny things here and there cause i'm used to them being a little more convenient
hey guys for character quests where you play as some other character is there an easy way to bind their hotkeys to 1,2,3,4,5 as expected?
Your hotbar should auto change to their hotbar which has those skills bound
alas, most of those things FFXIV lacks due to 1.0 . it works, just not the best as it could
They use the pet/mount hotbar for it
I can't move the skills from their hotbar
Plus all Rp instances follow the same general rule for skill layout
they auto bind to your first 5 buttons
ohh it switches your hotbar1
1 is your spam attack, 2 is usually your off global damage then rest is mechanic specific
I have custom stuff that makes my 1-5 buttons go to hotbar2
no wonder it's not working for me 😦
Anyone have any clue what the next event is gonna be? Like the one thats happening now that lets u redeem mounts etc
Im interested to know what mounts will be next
Do older events ever come back?
yes, like the ffxv collab
Old cross over stuff like Yokai has come back...15 is coming back
Seasonal events run every year with different rewards
my keybinds go QEVRF12345
Ehllie u should see mine
That wasn't towards you

i mean, i was just curious how many people keep the default keybinds
mine are 123456 with a ton of letters that look incredibly chaotic but are comfy
Because it's what they're comfortable with?
Ye
Hotkeys are all preference
Everyone has their own comfy keybinds
i'm also really used to shift modifiers
I set my hotbar1 as my "for every class" hotbar. so my skills starts at hotbar2
I use ctrl modifiers
so my 12345 go to hotbar2. which messes things up for these character quests 😦
like, Q is my filler single target ability and S-Q is my stronger single target ability, and C-Q is my situational single target ability
If you already own an FC house, and plot, and you know someone will be moving out of theirs and you want it. How do you go about getting it? What happens to your old one, and what steps should I be taking to secure my new location?
Go to the placard once it's open and buy it
And select relocation
Relocation bypasses the invisible timer and you get a 30% discount based on what yoy paid for the old plot
The old plot will become freed up with the invisible timer placed on it as if it was demolished
All furniture will be moved to the storeroom with the storeroom temporarily doubled. If stuff can't fit in the doubled storeroom you won't be able to relocate
how do i know a message sent? my internet is really fucking unstable and i have no way to tell if the message i sent went through before i dc
(that message didn't send until minutes later so don't know where the reply is)
Astres this is like the 4th time u asked, what message and sent where lol
I thought u were talking about discord message
Earlier
It's not that u asked multiple times it's that u didn't clarify what message lok
Lol*
btw y'all were right about ruby doomsday. the g-warrior is fucking amazing
one of the coolest things ive ever seen in the game
is there a way to make an action bar not clickable?
Hey, hi, quick question. Brand new. I died, went to hit the "?" to see how to rez and hit a button that I think denied the rez. now I'm sitting here dead and I don't know how to... not be dead. I'm on controller.
EDIT: Found it, little brown circle in the bottom right
cause since i can't have something like wa,
i wanted to make a dummy action bar to show me me cooldowns of relevant abilities
and though i could do that by putting them on an action bar with no keybinds that won't catch my mouse clicks
nope

you can make all action bars not clickable
you can?
in character -> hotbars
i think
ive seen the setting before
and probably enabled it at some point
i know its there
just not where
oh, nice
https://i.imgur.com/4nthL1e.png
whats up with that? the marching deathball of adventurers in the midst of nowhere i mean
hunt train
hunts, probably?
and why would one do that
Tomes
tomes
Currency for stuff
easy way to get rev
i see(?)
why do they bunch up so closely though?
revalation tomes get you some BiS
oooh interesting
Isn't culling in this game great
i guess i should be.. .getting those too huh 
Hey, so um. I'm fairly new to FFXIV. I've tried it once or twice in the past, but I've gotten really into it - like super into it. Today's my first day and I'm already like level 30+!
Anyway, I'm sick. I decided to take advantage of the 60% off sale on the Square Enix Store and pick up the complete collection, both because I'm having a good time and because I took screenshots of all the people's names that have PM'd me that I wasn't able to reply to today. As I mentioned, though, I'm sick.. my cognitive functions are comparable to that of an addled rock. I bought the Shadowbringers expansion instead, and unlocked the code (so no refund). I did correct my mistake and buy the collection, which is now downloading the 18g of additional data or so now.
My question is, does anybody here need a PC key for the Shadowbringers expansion? Free of course, somebody may as well use it as opposed to it just sitting in my order history forever. If you do, DM me and I'll copy/paste the key - no strings attached or anything, I'd rather somebody out there benefit from my mistake. Thanks!
It's in Azim so I don't think those give 80 tomes
So would just be poetics abd centurio I thibk
Idk I don't hunt
im still on MSQ so..
/shrug
i think if you contact SE support they should refund you?
Revealed codes generally don't get refunded
thier's also a code trading discord but idk what it is off the top of my head
oh really?
good to know
The ToS is pretty firm on it, once you unlock the key you forfeit all rights to a refund.
ah
I looked into it, plus honestly it was only like $15 and rather than go through the hassle with support (might be really good support, I dunno!) I thought I'd just give it to somebody else.
Code trading Discord, okay. I'll check that out too, thanks!
if you have any more questions let us know, i hope we can help more next time!
Oh it's okay! I know my question doesn't really have an applicable answer, but I thought it fit in this channel best since I guess it could help somebody out or something!
good instincts, stuff like that kinda gets lost in other channels
There is none for the chocobo
how do you order it to attack then?
It will attack when you attack
But I think you can set its preference in the companion menu
i just keep in free stance and the AI is good enough to react
Might remember wrong, I don't use it that much
unlike squadrons
yo if im a gladiator and i go to paladin at level 30 can i then switch to gunslinger at 60?
gunbreaker or machinist lol
Gunslinger??
breaker sorr
but you can switch from any job to any other job
ok
all jobs can be unlocked on one character
theres no prerequisites
but yes gunbreaker you can unlock in old gridania at 60 if you own shadowbringers
typed it to many times didn't work can someone do it
you need to type it the exact same way in /say
the exact same
O Loveliest of branches please grant me your succor!
For MCH you need to finish ARR main story quest as well.
^
Min level requirement isn’t hard. But ARR main story was challenging for me. lol
O Loveliest of branches, please grant me your succor!
yes
still didn't work
oh loveliest cant be capitalized probably
O loveliest of branches, please grant me your succor!
if you're on pc, you can just copy and paste the system message that pops up into chat
Yeah you can't capitalize the L
it has to be exactly as its written in the quest text
thanks everyone
Which content in FFXIV has FFX reference (ala crystal tower) btw?
ffx? not much right now, but anima is going to be in endwalker. in what form we dont know
crystal tower from ff3
there's tidus and yuna outfits
X so far has no content dedicated to it like crystal tower or eden afaik
omega kinda did
is ew the correct endwalker short
ew.
yes
👍
omega makes reference to X?
Yeah, EW sounds normal
nah 5, 6, and 1
is it not V, then VI then 1?
nah no 4 fights
xD
SoS is a 4 reference
shhhhhhh 
Isn't SOSEX FF1?
||the non WoL fighters are all from 4||
Oh nice, never knew that lol
||wow 8d chess endwalker foreshadowing||
||we're on Yoshi-P's wild ride who know's whats gonna happen next||

Is Coffee Biscuit leves good money if you get everything yourself?
yeah, since all you need is white scrip botanist to get it all with HQ mats
It's like about 1 afternoon with 99 leve allowance and a e12s fresh prog PF right?
For around 2 mil I think
ye about
Nice
consistent source of income if you dont mind the clicking
I don't have White Script, so I will probably need to HQ my crafts
less than that; 1.8m maybe
My CLU and BOT are both lv80 using lv 70 BiS gear lol
also i don't recommend doing all 99 leves at once
Ok not even BIS, just Handking
it's torture
Yeah, I just want something to due while queuing
Will I fail to craft Upland Wheat Flour / Garden Beet Sugar if I use Quick Synthesis?
no
yeah
and HQ isn't necessary
it's a really easy recipe, absolute shoo-in with white scrip gear
you can hq with just inner quiet > innovation > spam delicate synth
macrochamp
/ac Innovation <wait.2>
/ac "Delicate Synthesis" <wait.3>
/ac "Delicate Synthesis" <wait.3>

Hello there everyone here, first time on this discord, I have quite a few questions... I'm currently playing on Anima (living in Japan) but was thinking of moving to a different server to get access to more english speaking players.
Many people are recommending the CHOCOBO world on the Elemental data. It seems like it's a pretty busy world.
Yeah I think ||Thacred is just being constantly pissed because he’s now a Gunbreaker||?
Like as a GNB, in lore, you have to be constantly pissed to do high DPS
My question is as follows, how is a 'busy' world different from a 'not so busy' one? if it's just waiting in line for longer when logging in, I don't really care. Any other things to watch out for?
no actually
that's just unrelated
they made him a GNB for marketting purposes with a relatively shoehorned reasoning
Tonberry is generally the recommended JP server for English speaking players
typically the EN servers of the JP dcs are Tonberry and Kujata
I've heard that Tonberry and Kujata have the most English speakers on JP data centers
Sorry, TONBERRY, not CHocobo...
but just being on Elemental makes a huge difference
Not Chocobo. Tonberry or Kujata, or failing that any server on Elemental datacentre.
But you should be able to get onto Tonberry or Kujata.
Busier is generally preferable, not a downside. It means there's a bigger pool of players to do content with
err
the pool of players to do content with is across the whole data center
so that would be unaffected by how populated your own world is
its good to grind the skills first before i go to the masked carnival, right?
Yeah, the more important thing is being on elemental
more players is better than less since there's really nothing that's a negative besides economics
and even then that is arguable
But it's still nice to be on tonberry for English speaking FC/community etc
Login queues =D
@shut panther I see, preferable huh... I was thinking of getting more serious with FCs, while being on the correct server will enable me to play with players from other worlds on the same server, aren't the FCs restricted to worlds?
Some Masked Carnival stages will have certain skills as a hard requirement or soft requirement
If you want to find an English FC it's definitely preferable to be on tonberry or kujata
If you're committed to playing on a Japanese DC
But then I'd ask why you want to play on a Japanese DC as well
Alright, it's pretty clear cut then. Any major differences between TONBERRY and KUJATA? In terms of demographics etc?
I live in Japan with an excellent internet connection.
I think tonberry is.. Slightly more English.
Oh yeah, that's a really good reason to use Japan DC lol
Ah, makes sense then.
@ripe hound right? ;p
But yeah, I guess you can do Tonberry, I think I'm more used to this name
Tonberry/Kujata/Typhon
I live in JP and play on NA DC despite my point going from 2ms to 180ms 
those 3 from the most EN speakers from left to right
You should be able to do Duty Finder stuff in Japanese then, which should mean much faster queue times
Yes, I'm fluent in Japanese so the language isn't an issue but I just seem to gel more with English speaking players.
Yeah, then Tonberry is probably the choice
No idea though, never been on Japan DC before lol
Is Dal the most efficent way to farm Raw Emotions?
if it's congested now, wait until 300 hours to 600 hours JST
to register new character
BLUs in Hells' Lid is 6-7 minutes per
running Hells' Lid as BLUs is probably faster
Ask for formula Color Titan E12s
Hi, in Frontline, what's the use of the bar with the flag?
GNB and 3 BLU means you can skip the tornado phase on the second boss
Battle high. kill players, do more damage
https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/9kmwmt/question_about_jp_server_enspeaking_communities/
Here is a random Reddit post researching this topic
It's 2 years old though
@ripe hound @shut panther Thanks a lot in any case for assuaging my concerns. I'll bite the bullet and pay the transfer fee then. Regarding that reddit post I checked it out but since it was from 2 years ago,I thought getting more recent opinions might be worth it.
Nice, but yeah, the EN population should be about the same as when the post was done

So, just to recap, the main negative difference should be the login queue. 😉 thanks.
The login queue is negligible outside of patch releases
And even then is probably not that different server to server
Yeah it's really Negligble
The real downside to me, would be as a new player not getting that preferred boost
Because that 100% exp bonus is good shit.
One last question, I play on PS5 but I recall hearing something weird about PC and PS5 players not mixing the same way in shared content?
No difference at all
Same servers same content
Okay cheers; )
No idea, PS5 and PC players are all playing together fine I think
The only difference is PC players can use unofficial, technically TOS breaking mods
It's pretty normal for people to use In Game Macros to craft items right?
Pretty sure every high end crafter does, yeah
its the opposite of combat macros lol
lol
lol
But it's also pretty rare for even really hardcore crafters to use third party tools that allow you to craft more than one item in a row?
I do all my crafting in teamcraft and just transfer over the macro I've done personally
Yeah me too
While I'm sure such a mod exists, the standard mod locations don't carry them and frown upon them
Because that crosses the line into Botting
I see
Yeah, I guess the line between "Really Really Hardcore Endgame Crafter" and "Fricking Bot Farm Manager" is still quite a thick line...
The general philosophy of the (less shady) modmakers is don't enable any more automation than the game offers itself
Yeah
I do really like the /nextmacro plugin though lol
But even this plugin don't allow you to make recursive / iterative loops
But again, having said that, I'm sure the mods exist.
About crafting actually, I've yet to delve into it in any significant way ( level 40 ish crafters...) but I don't really understand the point...
Yeah, I guess I'm not gonna cross that line yet, probably never
Aren't the endgame weapons acquired from raids materials etc ?
Endgame "Earlygame" equipments can be crafted
A short explanation, with Eden's promise as an example
So they are in high demand during the first week of new raids
The previous raid gear tier was ilvl 500, 5.4 released with 510 crafted gear, and 530 raid gear
In order to do the raid to get 530 gear, you needed.. ilvl 510.
As in, the earlygame of "Really endgame content"
Essentially, every raid patch resets progression
isnt series in shadow bringers? How can i access it
To Previous Savage > current crafted > limited tomestone > Current Savage
Yeah, I'm basically nowhere that at the moment. Which is why it feels really daunting to get into crafting...
!quest legacy of allag
An oddly garbed man visiting Revenant's Toll has some information which might be of interest to an experienced adventurer.
outlandish man
Mor Dhona (X: 21.86 Y: 8.17)
Rammbroes
Mor Dhona (X: 30.44 Y: 12.17)
The Ultimate Weapon
Sanding It Down
That aside, crafters can also make all sorts of glamour/housing/minions etc
No worry, crafting is fun, there are quite a lot of fun little stuff to do
thanks
And there's also the ishgard restoration, which has its own barrel of unique stuff
Also yeah, just do the Crystal Tower storyline. It's lv 50 content.
I personally think it's quite a great storyline
hope it doesn't break the MSQ pace too much. and yes, this is for ShB MSQ wayyy later
Yeah, it feels like layers upon layers of crafting stuff ...
Yeah, crafting ain't straightforward.
crafting is an endgame to many players
before 2.56
High end crafting is combination puzzle and grind
or around there
But honestly, it feels like it'd be a lot more simple to ask a crafter to craft for me... time investment wise...
I see, I kind of wish they push CT gate to around 2.3 MSQ
Like, before the HW story actually start to begin lol
Yeah, crafting isn't mandatory
If you want the latest gear when it releases.. you're going to need a lot of Gil for that.
It's more like, I raid 4 hours a day and I physically cannot raid anymore
But yeah, it's not for everyone.
I'm not that hardcore, the only thing hardcore in my case is my age. lol
lol
lol
Then you only really need to worry about crafting if you want to do it
I too also have the habit of buying BiS gear after leveling to max level, then never craft another day in the expansion
You're not really missing out on much content wise -- though some of the class quests are neat
alc 60-70 and CUL lvl 60 were pretty good
BiS aesthete's only to look at the exarchic market and go "lol that is not worth the effort"
Yeah the exarchic market is really not worth the effort
Hi, can anybody help me to understand this?
- The 30-day free play period included with purchase can only be applied once to each platform on a single service account. Moreover, this 30-day free play period is not applicable to platforms on which a license has already been registered.
A super competetive market like that have razor thin profit margins
Oh boy I can spend a full minute crafting macro turning 40000 of mats into a 70000 item that will get undercut 15 times before I close the retainer
What is the name of this ost?
Begins as "The Maker's Ruin"
If I somehow manage to unlink my current SE account with my PSN account, and create new SE account to link with my current PSN account, do I still get the 30 days game time?
Thank you
With a fuckton of remixed stuff in there
lol
Maker’s ruin is a great music. I wanted to know the name of the music so bad. Thank you.
Yeah, the full song have a lot more remix in it
But The Maker's Ruin is basically "Why do I hear boss music?" for the boss lol
lol
The boss music that signals the enemy's turn to say "why do I hear boss music?"
i have a whole theory about the name of the track but i will not say anything
Yeah that's gonna need to go in #archived-lore-spoilers
i have forbidden knowledge
It's quite likely we will get this theme again in EW
i do hope so
Is there a way to move keybinds for mounts?
It puts it in the first slot of hotbar 1
what is the most populated area that is not a city zone?
You can't drag mount actions unfortunately
would it be quarrymill?
I use controller so not something i've ever had to deal with
Sorry I couldn't be of more help
No worry
I can only see a setting for enabling it to replace hotbar 1
but nothing about picking where you want it otherwise
Lemme look into it
It's not so much an issue with mount specials
but when you have to do story stuff in mounts like the blue weapon fight
all your skills would be there
Could you not hide that hotbar and use another in it's place?
Already tight on hotbars as is, I have 4 for the skills and 5 for dropdowns on class swaps
so thats 9/10 used
I guess I gotta put up with it
Kinda weird that they wouldn't let you move something like that around
Yeah I don't get it
https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/playguide/db/item/d86af000fc1/ is this still acquirable?
i cant find it anywhere
whats the gearing like in this game ?
only the upgraded version is available now
pretty sure thats the 60 dragoon weapon
for centurio seals in Ishgard
it's...law gear, i think? so you can trade it for seals in ishgard
or 100 poetics in idyllshire
only the augmented ones, huh
the augmented is dyeable and better in stats
who can i go to trade it
centurio seals in ishgard
in ishgard
seika only works for augmenting the nonaugmented ones if you somehow still have it
then you probably need to unlock it first
i think they won't trade stuff if you don't have hunts unlocked and you haven't cleared 3.0 yet?
heavensward
nah
sorry this is like my dream weapon lol
i see
it used to be the go-to gear for fresh 60s way back then, so i think if you clear 3.0 (and unlock hunts) you should be good
Hey guys has the game had any events that have allowed players to have an impact big or small on the game or the community at large?
like maybe an event that allowed for a specific guild to get something if they won over other guilds
if you mean alter the course of the in-game story, not really
like limited events outside of the core story
nah
maybe that allowed for some competetion within the community
i mean there is pvp
savage raid world firsts are acknowledged by the devs, but
that too
in-game there's no real mention of said players
so what is the point of guilds? is there no guild interactions
there are all sorts of rankings on the official site, lodestone, too
im just curious what the main community content is? the stuff that brings the player base together sort of thing
im new btw to the game
thats why im asking
i can assume
well, the race for endgame raids' world first is usually what brings the hardcore raiders together
thats a shame that there isnt anything to bring the community together other than that
there is always something that can bring the community together
like what?
things happening within the community. there are no scheduled events
but if something happens people will talk about it
just recently 2 big things that went around the community were the dark knight vigils for miura
and #thankyousoken
dark knight vigils?
when kentaro miura, the author of manga series berserk, passed away
players gathered around uldah to pay tribute
here's a random screenshot i googled
oooo thats so cool
on the emote menu, what's the icon second from the right for usability, if it can be used when you have wings on?

i don't have the game so this might be an old screenshot, but do you mean this one?
it means it's usable on a mount
Hi is there any noticeable difference between using law&order RE to not using it for UCOB?
I read online that I can trade aetherial items for GC seals. Is this still a thing? I can't figure out how to do it
you mean using the i515 gear for UCOB? it'll be synced so i don't think it'll be any different
technically you can still trade loots from dungeons for GC seals (you'll need to be above certain rank to do so), but aetherial items is no longer obtainable as it is replaced with unique loots from 5.0 onwards
relics are bis because sync applies on a per stat basis
I mean abusing law&order RE for their substats
I got some aetherial items from dungeons a couple weeks ago
So because relic weapons have 3 stats, rather than 2, they are slightly superior
oh wait they're still in the game? sorry my bad then
Items with a pink background, right?
Yeah, I got a few of those
The difference is very small though
aaand i keep forgetting that relic have superior substats
Because basically, you're getting slightly more of what is probably your weakest substat
yeah it'll make a difference though minimal
oh I'm glad to hear that I absolutely don't want to run DR for 15 times
Is that the first customizable step? I don't remember
I think so I have Law's Order but I can't customize it yet
Hi was wondering if anyone could help with a new player/subscription Q
go on
how fast is it to increase GC rank by giving logs? Yew logs have a star next to it atm
Why is this not counting?
So I was looking at what version to buy and came upon someone saying to be careful if I buy if I already created a freetrial I wont get the 30sub included.
oof, you fell for the 'trap'. you want these rings
30 day sub
bruh
it sucks, i know
lol that does suck
you will get the sub time
just use the free trial as long as you like
then redeem the complete edition code
the code lasts forever, you can buy it now on sale
i think you should still get 30 day sub regardless of free trial or not
you do.
on any purchase of the starter edition you get free 30 days
complete includes starter
okay it was 5months old and wanted to be sure
uh hold on
do i need to finish the dungeon if i farm blue mage skills and i already got it on the first boss?
did you get the skill
yeah
if no then yeah you have to finish
you can just quit
For Final Fantasy XIV Online: A Realm Reborn on the PlayStation 4, a GameFAQs message board topic titled "If I'm new, should I buy the 'complete edition' or Shadowbringer?".
i won't get the 30 mins penalty?
this is a party btw
if it's premade you won't
@random girder could you look at the 5th post and see if that makes any sense to you? i will be getting this on pc if it matters
yeah no thats a complete lie
i got 30 days when buying complete
it comes with it
Thank you sorry to bother you just wanted to make sure
np im not busy lol
as trial user you don't own the game yet, so yeah you get the 30 days
is there a list showing how many points provisions are worth when turning it in to GC? Or is that shuffled?
is it easy to get the frog suit?
is this a good way to farm for crafting mats in diadem? https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/kw76qn/541_diadem_minerbotanist_gathering_loop/
i dunno if there's a list, but i think it's scaled to the item's level
dang, guess i'll just turn in and see what i get lol
probably more hard than easy - it's a reward from a special fate chain in the tempest, so you have to wait until it pops and clear the prereq fates and then beat the boss (Archaeotania)
how to get retainer
yeah it sounds rough 😒
I keep getting the i2501 error when trying to sign up. I know it's most likely the issue regarding my VPN but without it I can't play any games cause I live in my campus' dorms and the internet connection here blocks games and stuff. Is there a work around this error?
seems like i actually need other players to get the toad head? is it even possible at this point?
the prerequisite fates should be doable solo, but the actual boss might be a bit rough
you can always shout or open a pf when it pops though, i'm sure you can gather some people that way
how do you know when it pops?
tyty
https://i.imgur.com/1zSTrbR.jpeg where is this hotbar?
is it the one when I open the blue book?
allrighty looks like im set and everything worked thanks again @random girder
ok!! have fun
yea. you gotta redrag them to your normal hotbars
how to open the recruiting party thing
i somehow press the chat and it pop out
bottom right > party (the flag) > party finder for listings
ay thanks
clicking the chatlink from others drops you straight into the their group as if you clicked them in the listings
its the de facto way to do current content raids
like savages
people also advertise there yup
👍
if you dont want to see the advertisement, just blacklist them and they go to the bottom
you can also click the subcategories to filter them out
yea 6am on a saturday. people prob sleeping in

Just finished Heavenward msq. Compared to ARR msq it is so much better. I was told it gets better when I complained about MSQ and you guys are right. Excited to get to next expansion msq.
To be completely honest, Stormblood is a massive hit or miss for people. I almost quit the game because of Stormblood, but some people absolutely loved it.
If I have ff14 on steam can i take advantage of the 60% discount?
No
:c
But you get to use your steam wallet 🙂
Much more flexibility as a steam version. But much less frequent and unexpected sales on steam.
yea. Most people who use the steam version i know of did it for steam wallet
