I'm trying to figure out how to put a third hotbar on top of the two I already have. How can I do that?
you could customize the UI
But how
HUD layout
I know that much. I see where I can move additional hot bars around, but they're not visible after I save and close the editor
hey guys any good yt video to catch up on lore from the MSQ 1-60, leveled to 60 long time ago but i forgot the story D:
or just go into character config > hotbar
Do i need to complete castrum fluminis in normal to get the Tsukuyomi axe?
How do you start getting cosmetics as a new player? I don't see any clothing shops...
which axe do you mean? the fancy war weapon with the effect?
Any piece of gear is technically a cosmetic item and there are pretty much endless ways to get them
The axe with no effect
then you gotta do castrum fluminis extreme
Gotcha, but no shops just to buy them?
sure there are gear merchants and sometimes some shops that do sell cosmetic gear (though usually not for gear)
but gil rarely is the way to a fancy glam tbh
I see, makes sense
ofc you can buy stuff from the MB
I'm lvl 20 and have had the same clothes for most the time so trying to find something else haha
you can buy glamour from the player marketboard, but that’s not available to free trial players
have you completed hall of the novice?
I think Gold Saucer has some cosmetic stuff
That's the training missions that give you a full set yeah? If so, yes
where is the option to separate the WXHB into left WXHB and right WXHB? can't find it, trying to help a friend who wants a layout similar to mine but. can't remember where the option was
Well the issue for you is really more your lvl. You can't glamour a piece of higher level gear onto a lower one. Though purely cosmetic items are usually lvl 1
You won’t see the cool stuff in the early game
So a lot of options in terms of style are locked for you anyway
the hall of the novice stuff is the only semi decent looking gear at your level so you just have to keep going
From 0 to Extra rare special stuff, how much does soulbounding an item to x% help with desynth, is that old "lore"?
I don't think spiritbonding has any effect on desynth
It's just for extracting materia
interestingly enough, i have seen people not know how to do their role, making what they say on the hall very true: "the real reward is the lesson".
I don't know, the chat text of the person that tells you about it says it does.
no they cant
I am currently level 46 and at the Operation Archon quest, yet I can only accept it when I am level 49. I never had to level up for a msq before so I am not sure where and how I should level, anyone that has some suggestion(s) perhaps?
Maybe, but still... spiritbond is just for materia extraction.
roulette, beast tribes, unlock aurum vale at 47
And it's binary too, anything below 100% spiritbond is the same as 0% spiritbond
is roulette inside the gold saucer?
I think it's item level, not regular level, but I may be wrong
no
duty roulette in your duty finder
duty roulette
Yeah, i still wonder why the text of the npc said that.
can do it once a day to do a random dungeon from those you have unlocked
with a hefty xp bonus
no idea 🤷
ah I see it, duty roulette leveling, thanks!
I thought about the game of roulette, sorry bout that
just dont spam it, it's only worth it once a day for the bonus
other than that
!faq altlvlguide
refer to that for some leveling methods
Is it better to level up crafting classes all together?
yes
True, inventory management during the process sucks
But after that you're set for a lot of things
Does anyone know if you can get thancreds eye thingy? like what he has wrapped around his head
msq
yep, msq
does castrum battle pop up in Zadnor?
there's a new one at rank 25
similar concept but a new thing
Where can i find a website with what attributes to slot for each of the classes?
!faq balance
ty!
Is there any fast way to farm bozjan silver coins?
i'm a giant noob in need of a ton of guidance
run DR
that's it
they only drop from DR
remember to also do the DR weekly for the 3 gold coins
i want to cosplay Raistlin from Dragonlance as a black mage, which would ideally entail being the generic human race. I understand that thaumaturge is the "job" i would want for that route. However, when it comes to general character aesthetics including height, should I forego those to have better starting wizard base stats? How important is "min maxing" here?
!faq newplayertips
race does not matter go ham
race stats don't matter
just go with what you like aesthetically
okay fantastic
nothing on character creation affects gameplay except starting class
thank you, and thanks for the primer posted above
and even your class can be changed since you can have all of them on just one character
But yeah, for now just go with rule of cool
also FYI, Arcanists have more of a wizard theme going
arcanist vs black mage?
one of the best dark kinghts i know is a lalafell
Black Mages may have the big stick but they are really more like... warlocks? Not quite
would thaumaturge still be the starting job?
Of course because they can never be hit
Midget advantage
Arcanist wizard?
black mage is definitely more of a traditional wizard mage type
With black mages big pointy hats?
Thaumaturge -> Black Mage
Arcanist -> Summoner or Scholar
thaum becomes black mage later
ok cyphers got this
hmm i was going for a lot of offensive spells
Fair point about the pointy hats 😄 But Arcanist definitely has more of a "I learned this magic by studying hard" kinda vibe
That's every job
arcanist turns into summoner, which isn’t really what you imagine when you think of wizardry in the traditional dnd/rpg sense
all dps have a lot of offense
this game is going to be sick
Arcanists learn spells while black mages have demons learn stuff for them 
heck, even tanks have a lot of offensive skills
everything you guys are explaining right now sounds so cool
@sudden dock you dont need to click on the window to advance text
what would u guys say is the easiest melee dps my friends wants to get into the game and idk what to recommend him
!faq meta
Dragoon
dragoon or monk
thanks
Dragoon probably, maybe monk
black mages uses big staffs and their main damage is from big fire/explosiony spells
yeah i was thinking dragoon or nin
lancer to start, i'm also a fan of samurai
you cant start as ninja
it is black magic
fire, thunder and ice are traditionally "black" magic in ff games
Is it worth multi classing on DoH/L jobs. Or is it a "pick one and stick with it for a bit" kind of deal like the combat classes.
multiclassing is best
doing all of them is the best route
you should do all of them
All to max?
yes
Yes.
Word
they all work into each other
Doing all helps in the long run
so having all of them at max is the most efficient way
Noted, thanks guys
Each crafter needs mats from other crafters
It is leveling at same time for all as they feed on each other on general
Gatherer is important too
Tho until you unlock isghard restoration it is pure hell to level, even then it is just slightly easier
i'd also recommend waiting until you unlock ishgard restoration, as its the best place to level crafters for a while
Would it cost more than 10 mil gil if i were to buy all mats to level all the crafters to max?
me levelling Armorer through Ishgardian Restoration... jesus christ it was expensive.
I gather all my mat up to level 60 alone so it doesnt cost million yet
But it means it is mindless running and gathering
Yes but im lazy
Which is not time efficient ,-,
it's movie-catchup efficient
The annoying thing about the crafter leveling is tbh getting the gear
Need to be HQ
Did I just mess uup big time? so im 150/150 with slyphs, but turned in 3 quessts thinking it will take me to tier 2, but i guess not?
You gotta get the rank up quest
don’t worry, you’ll earn it back
Here is there a part of this server for forming groups for stuff? Need to grind storm blood fates for bozja and having terrible luck getting people in game
party finder is probably your best bet
Been trying for days lmao just no luck
There isn’t really a place in here sadly
And really don’t wanna run raids 36 times lmao

the fates are soloable
I mean they are but so slow haha, especially since the drop rate isn’t very good
Just queue for the raids while you're doing FATEs
The raids have a guaranteed drop, so it's more efficient to queue them while doing FATEs
Theyre really easy to solo
*consistent
fates were definitely more efficient for me, but it’s reliant on rng so your experience may differ
Ye I’ve not had great luck with the drop rate
I used blue mage a lot for that step
having just one other people doing fates with you speeds it up a lot
and yeah, blue mage is very useful in fate farming
does bojza lockbox drop anything good?
A few mounts, some fashion implements, nice coats, flowers, a dress...
You really do need to open a ton of them to get anything good, but you get a ton of them anyway
How do I talk in party chat if I'm in a dungeon?
/party
Or /p
i'm a level 36 conjurer but how do i become a white mage? i went to the conjurer's guild but don't see a way to do it
!faq job
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.
oooh i have to actually complete the main story and end up around level 50? is that just ARR's story, or any expansions too?
nvm lvl 20 quest
i should read first sorry
i still have the level 30 class job so i guess i just need to complete that and i am good to go
lvl30 class job quest, i mean
You should consistently be doing your job quests when they're available.
^
They give you skills
i've been doing all the quests in level order, it's an OCD thing...
Job quests are available every 5 levels.
Until level 50. Then they start to be every 3-ish levels instead.
can i buy gear for lvl 50 with this currency? https://i.imgur.com/68JnV7p.png
yes
And 60 and 70
i need help with a question about the complete edition, if i buy it, can I use a game time card after 30 free day?
Ironworks, Shire, and Scaevan gear can all be purchased with poetics.
Yes
like i dont need pay a suscription? I want to play but I dont have a credit card to use
Game time card = subscription time
The game time card is you paying
Could someone pls tell me where is the crafting guild located at?
Just a different way
which one?
There's multiple in each main city
The weaver one
Uldah
Gridania is LW
Perfect, thank you guys!
ok thanks, but it says that the game time card will need a standard account, and I am in free trial
you need to buy the game before you can sub
Once you apply the complete edition to your account, you'll have a standard account.
i get standard account with the free 30 day
Besides Materia, is there anything I should be trading in my White/Yellow Crafting Scrips for? I remember feeling stupid during the Anima quests when I learned I could've been trading in Yellows for aethersand. Any notable items yall would recommend? Anything I'd want for the Bozjan weapons?
?
Other way around - you get 30 free days when you get a standard account.
I am in free trial
You're not buying 30 free days (that would be redundant), you're buying the game and being gifted 30 free days.
Yes, the free trial is unlimited time.
sorry im getting confused
You don't need a subscription to play the free trial.
free trial means it is FREE for those days
game time card adds days after the trial, like paying with a credit card does
Free trial is free forever
If you purchase the Complete or Starter edition of the game, and apply that code to your account, you'll be upgraded from a free trial account to a standard account and be automatically gifted 30 free days of subscription time.
yes, and I want to buy the game, and Im planning on buying complete edition, but the game time cards is the only way I can get game time
After those 30 days are up, you'll be required to pay a subscription in some format, either through direct payment, Crysta, or using a game time card.
And time cards are fine
Buying the actual game lets you play for a month before having to buy subs
You do not require a subscription for 30 days after upgrading from the Free Trial to the Standard version of the game. After that, you can use game time cards to pay for your subscription.
ok thanks, actually
no
No
Level 30 on prefered server
getting to lvl 30 on a preferred world gives you 15 days
Reaching level 30 on a preferred server before subscribing gives you 15 days
C-c-c-combo!
oh that's neat
it doesnt have to be before subbing
Doesn't it? I thought it did.
i made an alt on a preferred like 6 months into the game and i got it
I leveled to 50 on free trial before subbing
what level class job quest do you need to do to get to white mage then? seems to be above the level 30 one
lvl 30
30
You have to do that msq quest beforehand
It's always level 30 to go from a class to a job.
im 58 on free trial, and I buy it, to get that do i need to level up another character?
You must have completed the MSQ "Sylph-Management" as well, though.
No
Can't even do Lv30+ job quests without getting your job
@halcyon quail you need to level another character
i'm on the level 30 main story quest so definitely done that
do your class quests
If I’m making a new character, is it recommended to only do class quests and MSQ? Or are there other quests I should worry about? I’m not on a preferred server
oh ok thanks
!faq questicons
- These are how you reach the endgame and every other bit of content is locked behind it to some extent. MANDATORY
- These unlock a feature, instanced content, job actions, or a thing that is important for you to have. Do the ones related to your job/class and ones that unlock new content
- These usually have very little exp/gil as reward and are usually just part of the world/lore expansion. Mostly optional unless you are interested in doing them for the fluff
- These are quests you can do more than once, how often you can repeat it is up to the individual quest.
What is the name of your current class quest?
oh there are TWO level 30 class ones, not sure how i missed that
yes
Yes
thanks for all the hlep
theres a lvl 30 CLASS quest and the lvl 30 JOB quest
sorry guys
help*
One to finish the class quests, and one to get the job stone.
once i get the job, is there any reason to level the class any further?
There’s also a conjurer quest for a mount at lvl 30
the class is the job
The job and the class are one.
yeah but you start at level 1 with the job don't you?
no
No
youre lvl 30
You start at 30
oh i swear i read that
You're just upgrading your class.
Your job is your class
what dung should i do at lvl 50? regular 4 man or 8 man is good xp aswell?
Getting more spells and stuff.
None
For leveling? Aurum Vale
i read in a couple places that it starts you at level 1 again lol
For xp
That's when you switch to a completely different class.
you start at lvl 1 if you pick up a different ARR class
Level cap dungeons give shit xp
Not when you upgrade from the class to the related job.
alright I'm just wondering since I saw it online but
be careful what you read outside of here, info older than july 2019 is very outdated
i already done msq till 60
can I get away with levelling through Doma Castle until 70?
Dungeons that give poetics give shit xp
seems like Castrum Abania is difficult
it's so easy
I mean, you could but it'll be inefficient.
but my gear is trash, still not worth doing?
Healer intensive
it really isn't
What damage is there
if you say so
Dungeons do fuck all
You have to do Castrum Abania for MSQ at some point anyways.
if you think it's healer intensive then, if you're the healer, you're undergeared or doing something horribly wrong
Even mass pulling he bridge
a bad tank can make any dungeon heal intensive
You'll get your poetics through roulettes
or the tank is shit, or the dps is shit
sweet just got a unicorn mount
but if the players are anywhere near competent, abania is no harder than any other dungeon, aka not difficult at all
so what do u recommand for xp? im 48 ilvl atm and new player
Aurum Vale
aurum vale
Aurum vale for xp
ok
till what lvl?
Aurum Vale until 51
ok
Yes
oh u need item lvl 100 for dusk vigil RIP
Just... get Ironworks gear
Is there anything that should be known if I were thinking of changing Data Centers?
can i buy with GIL?
You need to. Give up housing and leave your fc
No, with Tomestones of Poetics.
You get like 500 by doing main story roulette each day
been searching the rules for this but what's the guideline for reposts in the recruitment channel
I will delete my first post
Doing roulettes available at level 50 (MSQ roulette, 50/60/70 roulette, and Alliance Raid roulette) will net you around 900 poetics per day.
@faint flare Is there something about only being able to take so much gil? I think I read something about it a while back
alrigth ty
reposting is allowed every 2-3 days
thank you
Nah, that's old data. The gil transfer cap is the gil cap these days.
No the cap got removed
Yeah, and make sure your retainers aren't selling anything on the MB
Does gaining mentor status automatically remove your sprout standing? I earned the crafting mentor crown but I have no desire to wear it all that often. I noticed that when I turn it off I don't have a sprout icon anymore. Just curious.
Yes
nooo when i finally changed to white mage it changed the order of all my hotkeys D:
because the hotbars are tied to class/job
change back to conjurer
then copy your hotbars
/hotbar copy CNJ 1 WHM 1
etc etc
i just accidentally split some hotbars in half... how do i undo that? lol
fuck i just halved them again
what are you talking about
right click on it again until it's correct
it doesn't cut it in half
it just rearranges it
just go to character config > hotbar and tick the shape you want
that too
you guys are saviours
so how does recruiting a friend work? it says that if you've established a subscription already then it will be too late to use the code but my friend hasn't payed for a subscription and he still can't see the "enter recruitment code". does he have to make a new account?
did he buy the game?
not that we are aware of. he uses an old account so we are not 100% sure
if he's subbed at one point it doesn't work
it doesn't matter if they bought the game or not
but once they actually subscribe to the game they are no longer able to give you the code
If it's an old account then he's likely well out of the window for RAF
ok, so he should make a new account then
if he does not care about the old account at all and wants the RAF stuff, sure
If he wants to start over, then yes.
But keep in mind that creating a new account means he'll need to purchase the game again for whatever platform he uses.
ok, thank you guys!!!
he won't have any expansions on the new account, if he has some on the old one
Guys how often does a servers status change regarding creating a new character on a populated world ? Should I check hourly or daily or? Thanks
i have a code with all expansions plus 30 days. can he use that then the recruitment code or will it not work?
Temporary locks update about every 5 minutes or so. Permanent locks (Congested status) lasts until usually the next major patch.
@celest snow it should work
that iwll be fine
On a brand new account, assuming you haven't used that code already, yes.
just do not have them subscribe to the game first
ok ty!
Oh wild, and where can we check if it's temp or perm?
subscribing will make it null and void
Much appreciated lads.
Temporary locks are indicated by a red icon to the right of the server status. Permanent locks are indicated by "Congested" status.
if any server says 'no new chars can be made'
just give it time and try it again
i had 4 friends make chars on preferred crystal worlds and they all had to wait but eventually got it within 30 min
Temporary locks are placed when a server is too busy. We generally recommend waiting until off hours for that region to attempt to make a new character there.
he only sees "transfer to regular service" does that imply that he needs to use the code i have for the complete edition then recruitment code?
i feel so dumb for asking this tbh
sry
Is your friend using a free trial account?
yes
Then yes, he'll need to apply a purchased game code before he's eligible to use your RAF code.
I'm just now getting into HW, and there's like, an overwhelming amount of new resources, haha
now that i've unlocked chocobos being used in combat, where do i buy the gyashi greens?
brugaire consortium vendors near main city aetherytes
or various other general vendors
ah simple enough, thank you
Does the "sleep now in sapphire" quest unlock something thats worth doing it?
Oh fml, i cba to do this mecha shiz xD
how do i check my chocobo's SP and spend them? the little tutorial window didn't say where it is
is there a shortcut for it? just to make it quicker to access
you can set a keybind or drag the menu into an icon on your hotbars
I don't think it has one by default but you can add one to it in the keybind menu
click and drag “companion” in the drop down menu and it will turn into a red icon that can be placed on your hud

Hey so my friend is trying to play the game on Mac but whenever the game launches she’s just met with a black screen. Is the Mac launcher supposed to look like the pre5.0 one?
Heyya guys, trying to figure out what the MAX is in items that you craft. Can anyone help me understand what it means?
The maximum amount of stats it can give
It increases your stats by X%, maximum X amount of points
Is there a tech support channel for questions like this
For example, my Antelope Stew can have a max of GP+21% then?
21 points maximum
It's for all tech stuff, 14 or not
Ah ok
does this choice matter at all? I can't decide which grand company to join
thanks
I’d just choose the one in the city you visit most
pick the one you think is coolest
Where can i set "visibility" of others skills , i want to set it to around 25% since im playing melee rn , i dont really see it in the system options , is it only from the main menu maybe?
should i put my party/alliance/pvp chats in my Battle Tab?
character config > control
character config > character > battle effects settings
no, battle tab is quite pointless since it's literally just a combat log of everyone's skills, damage numbers etc so you basically never open it anyways, and party/alliance/pvp chats are important communication channels you want to pay attention to
Ok I will have to turn my Novice Network off while in parties. they go crazy in there
How do i identify which quest i need to do in order to promote myself on my Grand company after the guy that promotes me tells me they can't?
the blue quest that says the gc name on it
The dungeon unlock then?
When I reach level 50 can I instantly start the expansion or do I have to finish ARR?
Is NPC chat pointless as well?
How can I macro dismount on playstation?
Does having a full stack of 10 Ray of Valors make a significant difference in damage for Zad/Boz?
You can't skip main scenario quests, only buy them all from the store.
it's around +5% per stack, so a permanent +50% that stacks with essences and other lost action, i'd say pretty significant
in other words, to skip you have to pay
Is there a way to auto-skip all quest text and all cutscenes (even if you haven't seen them yet). I know you can skip cutscenes you've already seen automatically at least, but clicking/mashing through all these is giving me arthritis. The game is awesome but I have zero interest in the story content.
nope
you can by the story skip if you want
Even the latest expansion?
no
No.
If I have a steam license added to a se account, can I ALSO add a complete windows edition from the SE store?
you'd still need to do shadowbringers MSQ
@mild fox no
fuck
I'm up to that point, and I would happily pay to skip shadowbringers and just unlock all the leveling dungeons/features tied to MSQ
its impossible to skip shadowbringers
Oh well, thanks anyway. Much appreciated!
I thought that if I bought the complete edition it would allow me to have both
if youre on steam you cant buy anything from the SE store
steam and windows fill the same license slot
is hoh not popular anymore ?
I'll try to cancel the order then
wdym
most people i see only plays potd and boja i cant see people plays hoh is that normal ?
so i just got rank 10 un bozja. should i just hop in and out of instances to find a castrum run?
pretty much
people are doing potd and bozja for the relic, hoh step also has lvl 70 dungeons as another way to do the step so most people are doing those instead
what i do to level my chracter from 60 to 70 dps
dungeons and fates
how do I know if castrum is up? most of the time people seem to only know if it just happened

highest level dungeon or heaven on high
hoh is generally faster for dps
is the SE assistance reliable when it comes to refunds? I heard it was a bit less stellar than the rest of the service
what would be the fastest way to get from 47 to 49 for msq? I can't continue forward
been doing the blue side missions I took, but most give like no exp
dungoens if you're a tank or healer...
they can be iffy sometimes
!faq altlvlguide
but I think it's still dungeons if you have any other jobs, compared to other alternatives
does it matter who uses the limit break? does it do more dmg with better gear?
No
correct, list still works @unkempt hull
melee for the boss, caster/ranged for trash
Lb damage is determined by the item levels of all weapons in the group
Tank for some specific mechanics
oh nice
Healer if everyone is dead
Melee jobs deal a strong single target attack.
Casters and Ranged physical damage dealers deal a larger but weaker AoE.
Tank mitigate damage and healers can heal a large area or do a raid ress on LB3
Nah, you don't really need tank LB on that trial on Normal. EX only.
they replied in less than 20 minutes! Refund will take some days as usual tho, but at least they are processing it
Regardless, it is a requirement that if an instance has ended and no dps used the lb, tanks/healers should race to be the one to use it before anyone in the party exits the area
i dont remember tank LB on ex unless it refills your lb bar
It does
oh
Guys, i've activated the Complete Edition code bought from the Square Enix store, i can see my dlcs are unlocked, but i don't have the 30 days subscription, help please?
nice!
@solemn tapir screenshot your mogstation page
wait really? i remember needing it when the patch dropped or it was an insta wipe
Yeah, that was two and a half patches ago.
maybe gear was just bad
People have better gear now. 😄
yeah understandable
yeah, but on the other hand I'll have to wait for a shb steam sale... guess Yoshi-p wants me to play GuiltyGearStrive for the time being.
sad, i miss ||using drk lb on it, was thematic lol||
Which is the best ff xlv wiki?
so your 30 days have been used
Yeah, i used to play time ago
you already used your 30 days
Nope
if you bought the game then yes you did
i only played the basic game, i just bought the complete edition
now
10 mins ago i bout the complete edition
the starter edition is what gives you the 30 days
You can't use complete if you owned the Base game
there's exercises for the 3 roles (tank/healer/dps)
So you won't get the free days
So if you are an old player and buy the complete edition, you don't get the 30 days?
no because you already bought the base game
the base game is what gives you the 30 days
not the complete edition itself
Just unlocked gunbreaker and it feels so cool, but is it kind of more damage oriented than the other tanks? Like is it supposed to be played as a bruiser or off tank?
i thought there was a mount in the achievement certificate place that was like a one eye bat
but i dont see it here
the voidal resonator is its name iirc
really? thats a mount
yep
oh
Ahriman mount
Hi! I wanna ask if someone knows if the digital complete edition (this one https://store.eu.square-enix-games.com/es_EU/product/565240/final-fantasy-xiv-online-complete-edition-collector-s-edition-pc-download) comes with a code or if they automatically activate it to your account. I'm halfway done in the bridge between ARR and HW and I dont want to activate it yet. 🙂
its a code
Is PoTD good for leveling alt DPS jobs from 20 to 50?
Or is the limit on levels you can use it to level for different than 20-50?
Thanks! ^^
potd is good for dps til lv 60
It's okay. Timewise it's efficient because queues are role agnostic, but xp wise you get about the same amount of xp for 10 floors as you do from one leveling dungeon
after lvl 60 the exp stops scaling so its better to move over to heaven on high for 61+
Hi, does mount speed affect how quickly mounts swim underwater?
no
Thank you
Whats the point of buying the Online edition if it includes everything that is in the free trial?
trial doesn't give you ownership of the game
so you still need to buy the starter edition in some form or fashion, whether its by itself or thru the complete edition
Removes free trial restrictions
Ok, is going for the complete edition the right choice right now?
!faq subprice
@sudden dock explains character limit kinda
Is there a way to see how long is left on my road to 70 buff?
Could try and go to lodestone and find the date of your earliest achievement since that's likely same day the character was made and add 90 days to that?
how people have road to 70 and their levels are 80
It doesn't go away when your first job reaches 70. It stays and applies to any and all jobs below 70 in that period
Oh naw nothing like that
If you're having issues it's probably just the server being full at the moment or something idk
you can save your character preset if you can't create the character in the world iirc
You can make as many as you want a day
That was just max total at any one time
I've made 12 in a day to test voices for a race one day I swear
I'm trying to ID a certain mount. It flies; it looks kind of like an Eastern dragon, very long and skinny like a snake, with two pairs of legs; it has four big white feathery wings, right above its legs. The rider sits above the front pair of wings. Ideas?
the vath mount?
O4S mount probably
Alte whatever
I wanted to say alte roite as well
oh maybe
Yes, it's Alte Roite! Thank you.
The ol danger noodle
whats my best bet for levelling alt jobs, just dungeon grind?
There's someone AFKing with it where I'm waiting for roulette, and it looks really cool but I couldn't ask them because AFK.
im pretty sure those are its arms
!faq altlvlguide
Well I stand corrected. Maybe because I'm on standard sub I have a higher limit or something
ty mr/s mogbot
I always got the impression baby moogles just sort of sprung into existence and were delivered to their parents by the mail moogles.
what does this mean? I had a long ass queue of 10+ min and then a short window of 20secs to accept missed and got some penalty?
But for all I know, something specifies the details of moogle relationships somewhere.
Wait... we only have 3 healer jobs?
I don't know what the short window is, but the "penalty" count is for not accepting the duty when it came up.
One penalty won't matter, and it resets each day
@spice knot if you withdraw when the queue pops or dont click accept then you get a penalty
@exotic flume yes
Yes, but there's one more coming in November.
What is the penalty though?
That window should have been 45 secs, still sucks.
3 strikes means you cant queue for 30 mins
it doesnt make any noise when tabbed out D:
in sound settings turn on the "play sound when unfocused" thing
chang that on system sounds if you wish
and set it to only play system sounds
go to system settings > audio and tick sounds when alt tabbed
that way if someone /tells or emotes at me i can also hear it along with queues lol
Astro starts at 30, correct?
yes
what's a newbie friendly DPS job as a new player ?
any, really
but the easiest are bard and red mage, generally
bard has heavy rng but is otherwise very simple
rdm has light rng and easy to pick up
I did arcanist, since it can switch to a healer later for dungeon queues
arcanist is newbie friendly until you hit 80 on smn and have to learn calculus
don't really like the feel of arcanist tho
cause you gotta dot everything and it's annoying
smn gets a dot spreader at like lv 45
30
exactly
!action bane
Spreads a target's Bio and Miasma effects to nearby enemies.
Potency is reduced by 60% for all remaining enemies. Duration: Full duration of original effects No effect if target is not suffering from Bio or Miasma effects inflicted by you.
- so right when you unlock it lmao
It's 30
Yes
yes credits dont skip cutscenes
theyre separate
Just came back from a very long hiatus and started a fresh character. I’m currently a lvl 30 gladiator on one of the exp boost servers, but I’m only around lvl 17 of the MSQ and just finished the starter dungeons. I’m horrifically undergeared and struggling to do the prerequisite to my PLD quest. How should I catch up? Go deeper into the MSQ for a bit?
All credits can be skipped
Does the potency reduced stat on Bane decrease the damage done on the original target?
do the msq
no
you put both dots on one target, then spread them to others
The reduction is only for the spread dots
the others will have reduced
How do you get this mount?
gotcha. The wording was a bit confusing
from restoration scrips, can also buy from the marketboard. tis called Megalotragus
jeez midgardsormrs voice is annoying lol
Welcome to dragon speak
wowww alphainasuds voice just changed
everyones voice did
except uhhh aymeric lucia and a couple others
haurchefaunt
fant
whatever
the HW characters dont change because theyre from the new company
Yuigiris voice changes twice cause her new va died
i finally did it im at ishgard
does e10s drop upgrade mats ?
wait what, i didnt know that
know what
Hello, im new to FFXIV. Currently just doing MSQ as everything else just intimidates me for how complicated it looks lol. Anyway, what is the most basic way to improve gear? Not dropping, something like a refinement system i mean?
yuigiris voice actor
i just remembered i cant fly in heavensward lol
@odd pelicanthere are veondor
i mean until later
you can when you get aether currents
i kinda wish theyd added aether currents to arr zones instead of just. unlocking it
If you got to the point to where you can collect tomestones, trade them for ironworks gear, it's the best you can get at lvl 50
Note vendor gear is fucking GARBAGE after 50
eh wdym garbage

they're fine
bad stats bad ilvl
still whatever for leveling
you should not buy vendor gear, even for leveling, after lvl50
So it is indeed just acquiring wew, i did the summoner quests on the side and got some purple gear. Thought i ould refine them or something.
Literally lv60 vendor gear is WEAKER than lv50 tome gear
Is it possible for my friend and I to play together if he is in exodus and I’m in leviathan?
How do I list an item in the market board?
With retainers
@odd pelican the relic weapon? those are upgraded but you generally wait until 80 to do them since theyre only good for glamour
I remember when a friend of mine didn't have hw and as soon as he hit 50 on ARR i gave him a complete set from ishgard and his stats went kaboom
idk I just buy the highest ilevel thing on the MB and I crush everything
yes, can either world visit to his world or visa versa
and it's all white gear
gear is overpriced on the mb
If it's
it's fine
it's cheaper actually
and the stuff on the mb is just from the msq anyway
it's all upgraded stuff
people literally just sell the msq gear on the mb
yep I have been too
Thank you for the explanations!
i wanna switch my main from blm to dragoon and while both are at 80 i have like ZERO gear for dragoon other than the shb artifact and artifact gear from the shb role quest
what is the route that i need to take to get geared up to at least be able to do savage
Either buy exarchic or go farm Eden promise normal
ok
can we get relic stuff rn from that too ?
Bleak and lucid memories yes
wait, I got a minion from a fate boss, is that rare? Or are they guaranteed drops from specific ones?
Most of the fate minions are 100% drop rate if you get gold
Ah okay, never done a fate boss like that before, just happened upon 20 dudes going at some huge guy lol
It’s usually just the 30 minute fates with a giant boss that have special rewards like that
How does the free 15 days work?
you get to level 30 on a preferred server
how do i go about leveling alt jobs? i know the hunting log is one so ive doing that but im level 13 and hunting log is level 20 rn
whats challenge log?
Weekly things to do for xp
i dont think i have that
Things you'll naturally do
my main job is only level 25
whats the road to 70 buff and how do you get it? shouldnt I have it since I created the character yesterday?
you get it from creating a character on a preferred world
its a 100% bonus to all exp
thats lame 😦
hey is anyone down to help with the guardian angel title? i can pay in gil :)
wow the music is so good in ishgard

what's the order to do things for unwanted armory chest items?
GC seals, desynth, sell
I havent gotten my fantasia in the mail when I used to get them instantly. Should i be worried??
I double checked I bought it on correct server
Pick a reward
oh... lol
Reading is important!
i thought i just got everything
No worries tho
Everyone makes that mistake once
is the free trial up to lvl60 temporary on both the steam client and thru the squareenix site/launcher?
no
Actually, it's on both
It’s not time limited whatsoever
weird! thru the site it says "30 day" trial or something?
I think it's 30 days or something
Keep in mind that purchases on Steam and the SqEnix site don't mix
thanks! so if i sign up for a free trial it's not limited to 30 days, got it
So, being a sprout, I was reading up guides on WHM since I've hit 50, I'm assuming that's when you need to probably learn your role better, and it said I need to include BM macro for my Raise ability. Is that actually a thing higher level players do? >.>
not really
no
theres no need for a raise macro
how do macros even work?
if youre a high level player then you would use your eyes and see the raise buff on whoever the other healer rezzed
they can do things like auto target a target and do a skill on them
Does it ever get revealed what Brangwine needs dead adventurers' stuff for?
so assuming someone dies, it'll auto-cast raise?
no
Basically lets you use a series of abilities with a pre-set time between them. I just use them for crafting
no, you still have to press the macro to use the ability
macros dont auto cast anything, you need to click them
ah okay
raise macros are mainly for auto messaging in chat who you raised
which like i said isnt necessary if you just use your eyes
Macros that automatically use abilities on the second/third etc. Party member
I have a shirk macro on my tanks
so macros also lets you chain a series of abilities together in one button?
correct
can yes, but absolutely should not under any circumstances
Yes but DO NOT use them to chain combat abilities
Crafting abilities *cough cough
you never put more than 1 skill into a macro for combat
If you initiate a macro with lets say 10 abilities linked up, can you stop mid way? Assuming combat abilities
or does it just keep going
anything you do will interrupt it
you can make a macro that cancels other macros
which means you would need to do absolutely nothing once you click the macro or else youll fuck it up
besides like moving around
It'll try to execute those 10 abilities and probably kick up error messages
yikes
you would need to force a wait time in each macro line
which is 1 second at minimum
It also only works in full seconds
but gcds are 2.5 seconds so you would need a 3 second wait time
which means youll be slow as fuck
so basically you would be able to do 1 skill every 3 seconds at best
Do any of the ARR 60 EX trials need multiple people for mechanics?
so definitely better to just not chain combat for sake of efficiency but for crafting wouldn't matter since i can just afk all that stuff?
crafting is fine since theres no rush to do anything
If you mean the 50 trials, no, none are needed
I meant the 60 ones, these
thats not ARR thats HW
o
Basically hit the button, let the crafting play out, then manually start another craft
and i think sephirot needs multiple people
bismarck needs people too if you cant burst fast enough
Ravana is kinda soloable but that’s it
thats really convenient, i'll have to figure that out lol
Yeah, just look up an example and you'll get the idea
is there any sense making 2 characters if one char can be every class?
if oyu feel like it
Only if you want to swap races without a fantasia, or to join a FC in another world
whats FC?
Free Company, basically a guild
free company, aka player guilds
Also if you wanna raid with multiple groups
Matchmaking for dungeons and such is across all worlds, and you can visit other worlds. But you can only join a FC from your home world
where can I look for some guilds?
Community finder in the lodestone or novice network are good places to look for fcs
There is a recruitment page for your datacenter on this discord, you can check there
yes
ok so is there any reason you would need to create another character?
if you feel like it
In-game reasons? Not really. Only if you want to join a FC from a different world
.
is crafting something i should get from the start?
if you feel like it
it's a nice change of pace, relaxing
if the question is "should i do ___" the answer is 75% "if you want to"
I would say wait for ishgard restoration to powerlevel
You can ignore it if you want. But I like crafting, so I joined all the crafting jobs
I'm a sprout and my fishing is higher than my main WHM for combat...
well like in eso you need to dismantle gear for triats and it takes real time days so start from the begining and its less time waiting
wondering if its simular
lol no
Fuck that noise
dismantling gear in xiv is instant
Crafting is completely optional if you want
how can i cancel a service account? i can't see a cancel button under "your account" in the online mog station site
does the Elementals or harmony potions affect how many crystals you get in pyros from FATES?
(WHM btw) So I've noticed that sometimes in raids, even tho I'm in the very back or last one to enter the room, when the tank engages some of the mobs automatically target me before I've even started healing or anything, regen is also not active on the tank. Is it normal for mobs to just straight go for me sometimes?
@leaden ginkgo click "your account" tab and scroll down
Mogstation main page, it's next to cancel subscription. Just to make sure, you want to stop auto renewal on your subscription, right?
my current account is listed as "free trial" (i made it maybe 2-3 years ago) and i don't see a cancel button? i'd like to just get the free trial 😅
I think they might go for the healer until the tank draws aggro
You don't have a service account to cancel then
if that equates to deleting my account ill probably just make an alt account then! thanks again!!!
so just expect to get attacked if the tank doesn't draw them in immediately? lol
I think you need to make a new account to get the trial
if your account is free trial then you already have the trial?
@hazy dove do you have regen on anyone at all
unfortunately my "free trial" is considered a service account. perhaps the free trial until lvl 60 is a recent thing and it doesnt count to my trial that i began 2-3 years ago
free trial accounts should have automatically been upgraded to the new trial
no, literally blank slate walking into a room and i'll randomly get agro before i attack or heal lol
which raid is this
yeah he probably had a trial account from when free trial was till like lvl30 and time limited
and which part of the raid
is there a way to switch jobs without needing gear?
No
You always need the weapon and job stone since that determines your job
how would i go about getting a weapon?
Your job is 100% dependent on your main hand gear
the class unlock quest gives you a weapon
The quest that unlock the job gives you a starter weapon
You get a starter weapon whenever you unlock a job
lets say i dropped the weapon
buy it from a vendor
Go buy a new one from a vendor
Unlocking the class should’ve given it to you, if you tossed it. Buy a level 1 weapon from the market of that city
any?
battlecraft vendor in any major city
but you need to do an initial quest to unlock the job first
i recently purchased an item from the FFXIV online store today , and it said it will arrive in the mail/delivery moogle but ive not seen it yet?
pugilist
I need some help before I get dumb on what Im seeing.
Im crafting and I use the skill Veneration where synthesis actions only use 50% of the durability.
I use that skill, use carefull synthesis and for some reason it doesn't use the 50%
Here's some Screenshots
Where would you get level 75 gear for a DRK (besides MB)?
Oh you are reading it wrong
Pugilist uses fist weapons
Did you already unlock pugilist?
!action veneration
@gusty pier Veneration doesn't reduce durability it increases progress by 50% of the action
no, it’s a buff on synthesis actions...
Efficency is how much synthesis gives
Im dumb then.. I dont get why this macro isn't working then
!action basic synthesis
waste not is the skill that reduces durability usage
I literally cannot finish the macro
You don't meet the minimum stats
Get some gear and try again.
In the area with a lot of vendors, there should be a battlecraft vendor. Try looking there
Thats 2 macros
