I just came back from a long break and decided to try something new: DoL/DoH classes. I just discovered diadem when my BTN was lvl 53. How long is this place good for leveling? Got to 57 and it seemed to slow down quite a bit so I'd imagine I should go back to leves at 60 or so?
You can craft with those seedlings iirc
Can someone help me out with upgrading to the full version? I've been struggling for two hours here 
Two weeks ago I bought 1 month subscription for the base game.
Yesterday I bought the Complete Edition that's on sale.
I received a code and saved it, but now when I try to enter it on the mogstation (> Your Account > Enter Item Code) it says the code is invalid
Anyone know what to do?
the diadem is ok around level 60, but itsn't nearly as good as leves are for leveling, since they scale
if you own the base game the complete edition won't work
you need to buy shadowbringers
Item. Code is the wrong place
Ah, so I really am going back to leves at 60 then I guess? Or should I stay in diadem to farm mats to level my DoH classes since I want to do those too? 🤔
Iirc it's like transfer to full service or whatever
One thing the Diadem definitely is is VERY convenient, since everything is one place
since imo ishgard restoration leveling tends to not be great after 60 anyways, you can get a little bit of xp while gathering the other mats yeah
Plus you can turn the mats into stuff for ishgard restoration which is great for leveling crafters
wat, restoration is pretty good for leveling
sure leves are better but restoration is just convenient
Leves are more work
which dungeon drops red panda minion again? qwq
the aery
So I need to buy all expansions seperately as I bought a base subscription?
thank you qwq
can also get it from potd bronze sacks
just shadowbringers since you own ARR and HW
just buying shadowbringers is enough, it includes all previous expansions
Stormblood isn't even available as a single expansion anymore unless you somehow find a physical copy from back when
Oh I see, great thanks
Seems odd that I can't upgrade with the complete edition I purchased :<
Not really
Well the complete edition is like starter edition + shadowbringers
It tries to give you the starter edition
it's not meant as an upgrade
Hello.
Question regarding the X potions.
Primarily from a usage point of veiw, are they worth crfting at all?
nope
only pots that are used are grade 4 tonics for savage raiding
Hp potions are junk
The animation lock is too long and only heals 1 auto worth of damage
You're basically wasting your time really
only crafting potions and endgame stat boosting potions are the ones being actively used
so those you can make money with
My tank begs to differ when I get a slow healer in dungeons.
Then again, Im at lvl50 only.
@glossy flare Understood. Thank you
I do. Still had a few sticky situations.
Also a few times when I nearly died as dps in the overworld
I'm confused about the elemental gauge for thaumaturge. Sometimes it shows two astral fire crystals (?), sometimes only 1
Cause you're being synced down
@faint flare okay. Thank you!
You need to be above a specific level to get another stack of your stances
it will have 3 crystals in the end, but those are tied to passive traits BLM has
Yes, the traits give you another
ah I see, didn't check the traits
3
it's pretty hidden in the description of magick and mend
and I assume each stack makes my spells more powerful?
!trait Magick and Mend
3 crystals, 3 umbral ice hearts, and two polyglots
each stack of astral fire means more dmg on fire spells
!trait astral fire
fuck
oh only fire
each stack of umbral ice means more MP generation
Astral fire is 40/60/80% damage increases for fire spells
Is there a way to see quests you've got laying about and what levels they are or is it just be in an area?
so the gist is this: Get stacks of fire, spend all your mp on fire spells, switch to ice and use ice spells until MP are full again
then repeat
Astral Fire increases the damage and MP cost of spells
Umbral Ice regens MP per tick, and decreases MP cost of spells
yeah thanks guys, I get that
Is it bad to skip most ARR quest text and cutscenes early game? I only started paying attention to the story around level 35 where it got way more interesting and engaging.
It's incredibly long speak for 'fire until no mp, ice until mp'
as long as you skim you're fine tbh, it is a little slow
yeah it makes no practical difference, just ensure you're playing with a full set
yeah that's what I do now
I don't really get when to use the other dmg spell I have though
which one?
b2 gets deprecated by freeze
Blizzard 2 is shit after freeze
Thau is a very clunky skill, well most are when they get started
once you get freeze at lvl 40 I think b2 stops being useful
blm is a job where some spells become useless when others are unlocked
Scathe also seems useless
it is
but for now whenever you have to cast ice spells in an aoe situation -> b2
compared to fire 1
scathe is a movement tool
scathe is your very last resort when you have to move but still want to do dmg
since it's instant
yeah you can cast it while you move I guess
but in practice it means every scathe you cast is you having fucked up
real talk, you're better off finding another available movement tool such as quick f/b3 or swiftcast
ideally you never cast it
because scathe is a mistake
Well yeah, any other movement tool but scathe is WAY better
but just saying, scathe is technically useful as a super edge case
Is there any location that lists all the quests or is it just recommendations when your travelling around? (Trying to find quests to level up the skills not for the MSQ)?
journal?
Your job quests are under the main scenario tracker
I'm guessing they don't do refunds? Or can I mayhaps exchange it for Shadowbringers? :<
If you didn't redeem the code yet they should refund you if you contact support
oh i'm getting fire III at level 34
If you haven't revealed the code
that looks juicy
Fire 3 is how yoy swap to fire
Currently on Archer that is 3 levels from the next one and trying to see if there is any that haven't been done around that level to help boost it up
It doesn't replace fire 1
and then you look down and see fire 4 lol
blm rotation is kinda clunky over the course of you leveling
!faq altlvlguide
yeah fire 1 seems like the best target spell
How you level alts
Don’t do side quests to level, do fates, dungeons, or leves.
save that somewhere
Hunting log is good for low lvl classes
very helpful
I mean, you can do that when you get there
again, blm can be kinda confusing since the way it plays changes often while leveling
also the only job that has so many useless skills at lvl 80 afaik
less buttons, more chill gameplay 🍾
No, I don't mean the job is in itself confusing, but it can be confusing that how you play now is totally different than how you play in the end
It's just weird is all
the general principle remains until lvl 80, yeah
not really at 80
there is a bit more to it once you unlock Enochian
but generally you still spam fire spells until no mp, then ice until mp
thunder is a dot, so just keep that up
the total dmg seems p solid
thunder does more dmg than fire
Thunder should always be up
if you let it run its course
Especially with thundercloud procd
my only concern about this game so far is the difficulty
i wish you could make it a little harder
i guess it gets harder post story
it does become more challenging later but yeah, the story remains casual content
The hard content is later in the high end content
the raids are all technically optional
as are extreme trials
So that's where they put the challenge
Story gates everything so its really not difficult
I mean the story is fun and p relaxing
I just feel like I've played for a long time now
Still, dungeons in the first expansion compared to dungeons where you are now (guessing around lvl 20) are 2 different things
like 40 hours
even those become more challenging if not necessarily hard
yeah I'm level 31 now
Yeah thats a pretty small amount of the story
it's fine, I'm enjoying the story, just wish some of the early battles would be a little more of challenge
Is there a global chat in the game? In the 3 hours I played so far, I never saw any players writing something in the chat
No
Nope
Most people talk in novice network, fc chats and linkshells
How can I join the novice network?
ask a mentor for an invite
Gotta be invited by a mentor
people with the little crown icon next to their name
ok I'll try to hunt one down 
get out of limsa cypher
I use Uldah as my hub, you got nothing on me
Gridania gang 
So what can you do to those unique green items besides expert delivery
Desynth if you have Lv30 crafters
Ooh
if they are dungeon drops you can also turn them in for GC seals
provided you have the required GC rank
Yeah desynth can be a good way to make a small amt of Gil on the mb
Hello, I've got a question for y'all.
I'm currently on the free trial, almost level 60, almost done with HS. Since I don't really have any experience with glamours already, following question accured:
I looked up Eorzea Collection, found some really nice glamours for Au Ra, which I'm currently playing. Once I'm buying the complete edition however, I want to switch to Viera. Can I still use the glamours I found over there on Viera (so is there nothing "race locked") or do I need to specifically look for Viera? I love Viera the most, but in my opinion, Miqo'te or Au Ra have better glamour sets on eorzea collection. Sorry for the long question
Sorry guys, last question to potentially avoid making another bad purchase
So if I do want to upgrade to Shadowbringers (I have a base game subscription), I need to buy this from the Square Enix store right? Because I don't see an option to upgrade to Shadowbringers in the Mog Station
No hats for bunny people, but generally yea the only things locked by race are the starting outfit
yeah honestly I think most of the game is tuned a little low, especially lower levels, even beyond "easy"
oh ok, can bunnies wear something like the flower crown? or is that also disabled?
Some limited things like glasses are showing on viera
Anything not in the way of the ears I'd say
and some hoods, weirdly
O really? I haven't seen 1 yet
Ah ok, thank you! That's good to hear, so I don't need to specifically look for Viera when I'm on Eorzea Collection. That helps a lot! Thank you :3
Yes, that version will work as long as you own the starter edition for PC and are not using the Steam version.
Only race limited gear is the starting gear and the hempen underwear set
Thx!
Alright, thank you <3
hey sorry to interrupt, is this the right version to buy? https://store.eu.square-enix-games.com/en_EU/product/565219/final-fantasy-xiv-online-complete-edition-pc-download
if you dont own the base game, yes
otherwise no
check if your version is the normal windows version and you got an EU account
base game goes as ARR(a realm reborn)
This is a little late but one of the problems is that arr is 8 years old, so most people are incredibly overgeared for the base game's content. It's also pretty apparent up to the first expansion and onward
complete edition means you buy a fresh new copy
Also general power creep
You mean if you own the free trial, right?
Because I have a base game subscription and couldn't "upgrade" with this
well I'm not overgeared, I just started lul
yes, but other people in your party are
ah I see
in dungeons/trials
Do you have just the free trial, or a base game subscription already?
would not be if everyone in the party is new
oh i dont own anything (sorry was afk)
that's too bad actually
i have ilvl 400 gear on most of my classes so yeah im a bit overgeared for ARR content
Then yeah you gotta buy that one
but you're still capped by your level right?
yes
as far as i know, you have to never subbed before or have the base game, so yes
you can't equip everything
you can, but it will be item level synced down
what about collectors edition? whats in that? just wondering
yep, but still wayy stronger than sprouts
@hard ember btw you can also pre order "Endwalker" expansion now to get immediate access to lvling earring
extra ingame items
oh alright
The collector's editions come with some additional cosmetic items.
and you won't be charged now but some days before the release date
Mounts and minions and stuff.
level synced equipment will have all the stats maxed out to the highest value available at that level, so its still way stronger than a level 60 character in best lvl 60 gear
how much bonus xp is given for leveling roulette daily bonus? is it worth running without the bonus?
When I buy the game, do I get a key and can register the code at anytime? So could I buy the game now, while on sale, level all classes to 60 and then enter the code (so I would still be on the free trial)?
Do not run roulettes without the bonus.
same as just queueing for the dungeon
@jade willow it says the "bonus" that it gives in the roulette info
You're better off running specific instances at your appropriate level.
The bonus depends on what duty you get. Bonus is bigger for lower level stuff to compensate for the actual dungeon giving less XP than a higher one
but preferrably if you are tank or healer, you should just queue for the highest dungeon possible
in terms of level
don’t run daily roulettes more than once a day
^
so a question from my side too, is it wise to pick every relic weapon quest at the same time?
What do you mean?
because i read somewhere that the quests require you to do old content
Like have one weapon at each step?
It's a bit more complicated than that
yeah for example , lvl 50,60,70 quests
Or like, one relic from each expansion?
one relic from each expansion
The older relics... those aren't worth it unless you want the glamour.
yeah i'm aiming for glamours
And you can largely unsync the relevant content.
Otherwise... you'll basically just be cluttering your quest log.
Are beast tribe quests worth doing??
Yes
Yes
i guess it's just better to do the msq/dungeons etc then do the required quests unsynced?
i assume?
the HW SB and SHB ones are pretty good
Yes
Also hi vinyl, I think you're in the tower with me
Hello
@open coral thanks!
take a pic
You patted me?
Ye
Basically, you can't do any given expansion's relic quest without finishing that expansion to begin with, so you get no benefit from picking up the quest because you'll be beyond the content anyways.
Ye yoy are
well what i thought that because i'm going to finish HW soon, only the last part remained
so i thought maybe picking up the hw relic quest would be a good thing
But if you're moving on to SB content, then the things you'll need to do for the HW relic will be well behind you.
yeah i didint know that before, in any terms i will have to re-run the old content again, so unsynced is the way
now i understand
Yep
i just bought the game and i got a confirmation on my paypal, now what?
what do i do to get it?
i didnt get a second mail or anything
with a code
or such
Just wait for the email confirmation from SE
alright
It will have the code in it.
It shouldn't take too long
kinda worried ngl
i bought it off their website so i dont see a reason why it shouldnt wokr
They might just be busy because of the sale
Give it like, 20 minutes.
alrihgt fair
As long as your payment went through, you'll get your confirmation email with the code soon enough.
hi peeps. bruneian here. looking for a someone who can help me purchasing ffxiv complete edition. when i tried to checkout, my country is not listed. both on NA and EU

Ah, yeah, you'll have to fake it then.

A lot of the SEA countries have to use a false address corresponding to their account region.
how to level fast at beginning?
Do MSQ 
well poot. alright. thanks man. didnt know SEA use a fake address. wont i get in trouble for that?
When I buy the game, do I get a key and can register the code at anytime? So could I buy the game now, while on sale, level all classes to 60 and then enter the code (so I would still be on the free trial)?
Ye
Doing the main story can easily get any one class fromo 1-80
and considering basically all content is locked behind it
pretty much should be your main focus
can someone join sastasha raid on cerberus pls 😄
Menphina's Earring (the one that grants a +30% exp boost) can't be worn and used to level fishing/mining/smithing etc etc, right?
Disciples of War or Magic.
no, just for DoW/DoM
look at that "Disciples of War or Magic"
Thanks for pointing it out to a smoothbrain 
... wait, I just realized something.
Does the Earring even boost FATE/Skirmish EXP?
No
...
No, just xp from killing things.
Fuck me.
The only xp buff that affects anything other than xp from mob kills is the Road to 70, which affects xp gained from all sources.
damn.
upon logging into the game
im seeing 60% of ffxiv
is it 60% off base game
Complete edition as well
Sometimes, yes.
i c
They just happen now and then
They'll usually discount a whole bunch of items all at once, including (but not limited to) Fantasias, glamours, and emotes.
Just gotta keep an eye out.
do they mention it in-game or i need to check mogstation from time to time
Just look on the lodestone
i c
Should I preorder Endwalker already, If I'm only starting out? Want to buy the collectors edition for 16€, but not sure about endwalker. Game is really making fun, but idk if I will continue playing it till november. (Are the preorder bonuses worth it?)
How far into the game are you already?
Almost lvl 60 and almost done with HS
The earrings help level alt jobs...and just means you never have to upgrade earrings
it'll also help with the new coming jobs
i'd say you could easily get 6 months of content out of this game
do I have to create a new character when I want to be dark knight?
No
Pre-ordering gets you earrings that you'll never have tot aske off since they scale to your level and give an exp bonus. Also, if you're JSUT getitng out of HW... hoo boy, you'll be here awhgile longer than you realize.
You just go get thr unlock quest
one character can be all classes
And equipment the weapon
never need an alt
This might be a weird one, but how easy is it to be social? I mean I'm on the free trial but feels like it's very solo when you're just playing it that way. I know this is a discord for the game but it's difficult for personal reasons... just after tips not anything solid.
thanks
Hmmm, I feel like the earrings are really a good investment.. Wanting to get all jobs to lvl. 80
Then those earrings will be your best friend. Especially since they're basically free equipment that you'll never have to replace.
Sorry I dont have it on steam, where is the code sent to you?
the free trial is more meant for old-school FF players trying an MMO, and the MSQ is pretty solo-focused, that is intentional
Okay, I'm thinking about it, but I feel like, it's really worth, especially since HS already got me with it's story. the game is sooo good
thanks!
Except for the disciples of the hand/land jobs that is
Wait let me re phrase that, my friend downloaded the free trial and it's asking for a code?
that's alright, mainly focusing on "normal" jobs anyways :3
This is why I'm in the Roleplay DC. Even if I end up alone during the MSQ, the natural roleplayer in me can just go somewhere and find someone to bother as some poor adventurer out o nthe streetl ooking for jobs.
... Or the world's most harmless and cuddly Ascian.
Error Code: i2501 when creating new account.
Did they get the trial launcher instead of the normal one?
I’ve heard that balmung is the role play server for US, what is the role play server for EU?
You can play on any world on any datacenter within FFXIV. Aside from the languages spoken, the physical location of the servers, and the status of each world, there are no major differences. This also means population on a given server is quite meaningless.
The majority of content is cross-world, with the exception of Free Companies, Linkshells, and restrictions when visiting other worlds.
If you don't mind where you play, choose a world that is Preferred or New for character creation bonuses. Check world status by using !status <world name> or via the Lodestone. For information about the status types, use !faq worldtype.
Notable worlds:
- Balmung & Mateus (Role-playing)
- Tonberry & Kujata (Large amount of Oceanic players)
- Moogle (Large amount of French players)
- Shiva (Large amount of German players)
ANY CENSUSES OR WORLD STEREOTYPES BEYOND THIS IS INACCURATE BIAS AND SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY
Note that bottom line
^
Mateus is NA
Mateus is US
No, Mateus is in Crystal.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I used to be on Mateus, went Roleplay so I left it,
I'm in the UK and play on the NA servers
whats EU Legacy server?
I play MCH. 
"gee crystal, why do you get two RP servers?"
I'm in Mateus and I don't Roleplay, but its never bothered me much
legacy server is meaningless
That designation doesn't really matter much anyways, you can still raid and do content fine
i raid on crystal
You poor fool. So do I.
Im on Moogle
we have a lot of glam farms which is nice if you wanna do older content
can I switch to Ragnarok?
I can answer that, for money
which is the biggest chaos server?
Transferring to another server in the same Data centre won't really do much
They're all the sane
Server choice doesn't matter
Data centre does
arent guilds limited to server?
Yes but that's social stuff
People don't really raid in guilds
Due to 8 people limit
Plus why limit yourself to a guild when you have THE ENTIRE DATA CENTRE at your disposal
fc's are mostly social, tho mine does some raiding
so raiding is done with pugs?
normal yes, savage not so much
Or statics
With are made with people all over the data centre
Like a guild but not actually a guild
Just 8 people, meeting at a set time to do content
You form a static raidgroup who you do raid nights with, which has nothing to do with your Free Company (guild)
Join fc for buffs and chat channel, that's about it
FCs are primarily just social groups
Are you able to download the free trial client without making a new account? I'm trying to download the trial client, but it won't let me without making an new account.
I can't create a square enix account so i could try the Free Demo. I want to buy the game but this is just annoying.
It says "This e-mail address cannot be used."
Yeah but it doesn't even let me log in
And when i try to make a request on password change it says the exact same thing
I see there are servers that give bonus xp to new players
Is it worth farming each dungeon?
For what intention?
Gearing
Fair
In your duty finder window select the ⚙️ icon on the top left to open up the duty finder settings window.
Inside that window select the setting undersized party before confirming and entering the instances of your choice. NOTE: UNSYNC-ING AN INSTANCE WILL FORFEIT ALL OF YOUR EXP AND COMPLETION REWARDS. Poetics from a first time completion bonus and loots chests remain the same and will not be lost. You may not queue for daily roulettes using this method.
How many hours of Squadrons does it take to go from a fresh level 1 job to level 60?
30
since they are slow, esp since you cant use them for all of the leveling dungeons
Don't you need to be Lv. 15 minimum to even enter the dungeons there?
wdym slow, they have a lot more dps than pugs
lvl 20 for halatali
Squadrons can technically be fast than a normal dungeon, but if you have a half decent group. dungeons are going to be faster
that's a big if 
squadrons are only faster if you include waiting for dungeons in that time
squadrons clear packs a bit slower than decent group, bosses are much faster though
due to their insane single target dps
Are beast tribes quest different every day for everyone?
The quests you get depend on your rank with a beast tribe
So yes they can be different for people
is there a way to only buy 1 item from the marketboard?
because i dont want to buy 30 bottles of orange juice 😄
Find a listing that only has 1
how do i get garlean synthetic fabrics?
No, just buy 30 and sell 29
Rng from any skirmish or CE, including castrum and Dalriada
Market Board
The thing is tradable
Im lvl 30 lancer and have done all the job quests for lancer but Ywain doesnt have the Dragoon quest? Do I need to progress further in the main story line to unlock the quest or is it because I am still on free trial?
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.
my boyfriend is playing on the free trail and got his dragoon job quest yesterday. he played through arr
thank you ❤️
We're literally not kidding when we say story locks literally everything
Is there a vendor that sells profession tools? like gatherer mainhand offhand?
Yeah makes sense
for leveling say, 65-70 range
You can buy them off Marketboard, or you can go to vendors in Idyllshire and exhange scrips for tools awell
Ohh 65 - 70, you're going to be looking at crafted tools for that
qq being a poor bastard xd
If you want gear that's at your level or close enough to it
im just stuck at a job quest where i need to gather 3 hq wild popotoes, but my perception is way too low
I have a question. And im sorry if its against the ToS and its not my intention to do anything wrong. But is there a way to buy gil for real life money? Like WoW tokens.
Hi i just finished the "return of the holyfist" quest and I cant find the npc to give the monk job change quest
Buying gil with money is a huge nono
no, that’s against tos
You'll get a temp band if you do
Continue the bojzan story past castrum and delerum then you can que in via the same npc you use to get to bsf
Okay just wanted to ask and make sure as I dont wanna get in trouble. Thanks for clarification.
gil is super easy to make so there’s no reason to buy it anyways
If you're having a hard time with gil you can do things like Palace of the Dead and sell items that you get from that, sometimes go for decent prices on Marketboard
or just level a crafter and gatherer and make and sell a shitton of dye
You can also level crafters, crafting is the best way to make gil in the game
does anyone know how to find the npc?
how long does it take to get the honest gillionare title
you want gagaruna in the pugilist’s guild
there's no quest icon above him, is this a bug?
if it’s not there then you probs haven’t completed the msq quest sylph management
no, progress 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.
msq = main scenario quests
Hey Guys i have a question. My friend who wants to play the game has bought the shadowbringers collectors editon. The Problem here is that the code is not working and i assume the reason is because he does not have the main game. Will it work when he buy the starter Edition and then use the shadowbringers collector editions code?
Yes
yep
thanks for clarifying, i just checked my msq is still lvl 17 LOL
He needs starter edition to use shadowbringers
Can't use dlc for a game you don't own
yeah msq gates everything so you need to keep up with it
Thanks everyone 
Hell im level 36 and barely at 30 msq lol
Are you playing on a double xp server?
Im 56 and been doing ARR level 50 msq for the last couple of days because of all the bonus xp I have.
when I use aetheryte I will set this point as my home point?
or I save it
and can chose where I teleport?
Home point is where yoy go to when using return
Or dying
After interacting and attuning to it for the first time you can teleport to it via teleport
ok thx
any ideas on what to do as i'm getting a little bored >.<
!faq contentunlock
same bruh shit is so slow
lvl 43 and im at 26 msq
Where are you in the story?
i'm finsihed wieth msq
question. to unlock Crafting Dye's, is it lvl30 of any Crafter job? or a specific job? 😮
i wanted to do some glamour but the chest piece i want requires me to have a job to get skybuilders scripts and that would take me weeks .....
You could farm for mounts, help groups clear content in PF, level other jobs, crafters or gatherers, you could go on an adventure of gposing
where do I check how much Gil I got
At the bottom right
Bottom right of your screen
By default
Leveling crafters is actually not that long to do, both crafters and gathers got a rather large buff in exp that they get from turn ins
is hunts the best way to farm company seals for promotion?
Are we talking FC points or GC seals?
GC
Turn in gear you get from dungeons
where?
Fastest way to cap out your seals
You can turn them in to one of the NPC's under Expert Delivery at your GC
The heroes gauntlet, 2nd boss, what does one do to not get oneshot?
Not sure what the NPC is called, but there's only 4 of them there at the counter
if anyone want to casual play and talk with a newb on Chaos "Ragnarock" im in the chat
Dont overlap AOE's with anyone
if i use the macro /levelsync i never have to manually sync to fate level? its a pain with the virtual mouse
You mean the part where everyone gets tethered to the adds? Don't stack them.
does joining any player groups (guilds/company) lead to EXP bonuses?
Hm ok
FCs can apply a bit of an XP buff yea
When you get the double tethers, kite them until the chaser stops moving, then move away so that when you get rooted by the other, you only take one explosion instead of two @rigid dove
they arent joinable till 10 or something? they are greyed out in my UI
There's also a mechanic if i'm not mistaken where and add will grab you, right before that, you'll drop an AOE under you, so move out of that before the add holds onto you
That's greyed out until you join one which you can't do on free trial
does buying the game off steam and being on your free-month count as free trial?
No
If you mean the free company button on your social menu, that's not how you join an FC
ohhhhh
That's how you access your FC menu when you're already in one.
Yeah that's just to access to the free company menu when you're already in one
new question, how do i find one to join 🙂
Use the community finder website
ty
Community Finder, or check the #494379215420915712 channel here.
Or just /shout in any major city that you're looking for an FC and what kind of FC you'd like to join.
They are about as useful as each other lol
ah you actually have to unlock ability to turn in dungeon items at GC... so until then, i guess hunt log is best?
^ also daily crafting/gathering turn ins
How do i see which field notes i am missing?
Duty > collection
will i regret completely ignoring crafting? it's just for glamour, right?
tyty
It has nice quality of life stuff like self repairing but you won't really regret it
Fun though!
good luck getting all the outfits
can you join any FC in your datacenter?
Server only
Glamour is the true endgame

I wish you look on your adventure to being Eorzea's number one fashion mage
Hmm Fashion mage....maybe that should be a thing lol
I'm currently using the duty finder for "Basic training" Guildhest, this is like instance finder for wow? And I assume it's also rare that you get a party in low-lvl?
hehehe
pretty much, tho all content is "synced" down to around that level
duty finder is the bread and butter of dungeon and normal content
@modest igloo What does that mean? Not super familiar with the synch system etc.
Duty finder syncs high level people down
To the instances level
So every instance actually pops
Duty Finder will find people to put into a group for content, so you can do anything that you need to do through it, sometimes it just takes time to find other players
dungeon is lvl 15. you are level 80. it syncs you down to lvl 18
its also synchs gear
and kit
Speak of the devil, I just got a group, oh well, first time healing here we go.
it's pretty easy
There's literally nothing to heal in guildhestels
I have every faith in you, you'll be amazing 
They're glorified and majority outdated tutorials
dps spam xD
I am interested in buying the game but i have some doubts
I am on ps5 and do i need to pay monthly fees?
Yes
I already have ps plus
I, I take that back, that lasted under one min and the lowest one droppet was 95% hp 
At least as a healer I could just relax and read the tutorial that came up 
The game is sub based, you don't need PS Plus to play the game
Alot of people don't bother with them
You do however need to pay your game sub to be able to play
I mean, I got some quick rewards and gil can't complain to much about that. 🙂
Even as a healer you are expected to dps
So i have to pay 13$ each month to play
You can also try out the trial if you'd like
You can play that as much as you like without paying, and you can play all of ARR and the first expansion HW up to level 60 for free
Everyone in ffxiv is a murder hobo
There are some downsides to playing on trial like not being able to make a group yourself, add friends, though friends can add you, or be in a Free Company
You also can't trade with people
the free trial restrictions are mostly to prevent bots
but it is literally all of the base game and first expac free for an unlimited amount of time
You could play for a while and if you feel like you're enjoying the game and want a more full experience like the social aspect of the game, you could buy it then
Really comes down to whatever makes you happy ^^
Also you're going to be an amazing healer @flat loom
https://i.imgur.com/KkgATI7.png how much xp?
@cyan kelp @modest igloo thanks for your time lads
Experience gained from MSQ is dependent on level
about 3/4's of a lvl in prae, 1/2 in castrum
is it really worth it?
considering a normal dungeon gives roughly the same amount of xp?
Depends on if you like being bored
its easy, and gives 500 poetics
yes i'm really bored..
If you're watching Netflix, it's a good way to get easy experience
and some gil
It's not a hard dungeon to do
Msq roulette gives about a level's worth of exp so yes, it's worth it.
Is there an option to remove that little "error" sound that comes when you click a button that's still on cd?
@cyan kelp xD Thanks ^^,
Yes you can
level 60 gear for poetics where do i buy it?
Give a moment to find the option
Idyllshire, or near the Ishgard aetheryte as long as you've unlocked Idyllshire.
It's Rowena's Representative, not Sundry Splendors.
RR opens up after beating 3.0 msq
@flat loom You'll find that setting under Character Configuration, Log settings
New player - quick question. How can I link up with friends as a free trial player? Every way of communicating with mentors on my server seems to be blocked.
Disable error message when actions fail
why cant i see emphimeral nodes on xiv clock site
Thanks 🙂 @cyan kelp
If your friends are also all free trial players, you'll need to ask a paid player to group you up
You can use /say chat
Hey everyone, my roster give free kill for savage or ultimate...or for craft , if anyone interested to play with us, mp my leader Fariel Torenar in Odin, or aku#6479 😊
You're very welcome ^^ I hope you're enjoying your time in the game 
Ty @open coral
So, how does gathering and such work really? Not seen any yet or any tutorial ingame, can you be a Conjurer + 1 of each Hand and land disciple or?
Wrong channel for that sort of thing.
You can be all the things, including all of the DoH/DoL professions.
The only prerequisite is that you've reached level 10 with your initial class and completed the level 10 class quest.
Ooh, where I should go? 😇
Gathering is a different aspect of the game, you'll go out into the world to what's called nodes, and gather items from them
Ok, but do is the miner another type of "conjurer" if that makes sense
No, MIN is MIN. CNJ is CNJ. They're different classes.
Miner is like conjurer in the sense that its a job
@cyan kelp That's what I meant 😛
cnj is a healer
Crafting/Gathering professions are entire jobs, the same as any combat class, with their own gear and levels.
not a gathering/crafting profession
Both are completed different though
Closest relevant channel would be the recruitment channel for your datacenter. Although I'm not 100% certain that advertising is permitted at all on this server, so you might want to double check the rules first.
I guess what i'm trying to get at is, in wow for example you played a class, and gathering/crafting professions was more of a side-venture, but here a miner has their own mining gear you say? Interesting system.
Yes
They're their own jobs with own skills and story
Yes Gatherers have a their completely own playstyle to the game, very different from battle jobs
Yes. This isn't like WoW. Just as combat classes have guild halls and job quests, so too do crafters and gatherers have guild halls and job quests.
Crafting and gathering is a completely different game
You can't do Herbalism as a Conjurer, for example. You have to be a Botanist.
They've buffed experience gained for crafters and gatherers so should you choose to level them, it shouldn't be that much of a grind
If you do 1 crafter/gatherer you might as well do them all
Is fishing as fun in this game as it is in other mmorpgs? 
Fishing has job actions.

Depends on what your definition of fun is lol
Grab bait, find fishing hole, cast line and hook up bites
It can be fun when you do Ocean Fishing
So it's... more engaging that in most games because you have to actually do something other than click to throw your line into the water, then click when a fish bites.
Which you can queue for at Limsa Lominsa
Is there a way to remove the facial scar on male miqote race?
I started playing like last week and had a few questions. Thought I would bundle them up
(1) I am playing with a controller on PS5 and I am lvl 36 dragoon and already feel I am filling up the 16 options available in one set of spells on screen at once. I have removed all but one non combat spell to other sets but just wanted to ask how much I am expected to like jump between different sets and everything later in the game when I get even more spells.
(2) Can I play jobs like Samurai when I am level 50 at the start of Heavensward even though they were released later?
(3) Does each expansion update the spells for all the classes since it ups the level cap? So will Endwalker come with new spells for dragoon if they increase the level cap to 90?
Okay I got this one
First, you can enable expanded hotbar for controller to give you 32 slots
Use the expanded and wxhb to add modifiers and extra hotbars without need for swapping
You cold also further expand that by another 8 if you need more space
Under character configuration in hotbars and cross/custom
Samurai requires owning stormblood to use
I'll let Vinyl answer, not point in two people answering the same question
And all jobs get new shit in expansions
LMAO
We don't know what new actions we're getting or losing
1.) Use the WXHB option. It helps.
2.) At level 50, as long as you own Stormblood (free trials cannot play expansion jobs)
3.) Yes and no. Every expansion sees some pruning and tuning of abilities, as well as the addition of a few new spells for the new level cap. This expansion will see a little more tuning than usual because they're also doing a major stat squish so the numbers don't overrun the buffer.
Okay okay I see. Thanks a lot y'all! That was very helpful
When does the timer on being able to get maps reset? I've been going for a specific map every day but can't seem to find the one I was looking for today
how do i gain their trust
Do their beast tribe quests
Map allowance reset with the daily reset
it's 18h since the last map
18 hours since last you gathered one
Oh god I don't remember when I did it lol Nevermind I found it in timers, I'm an idiot
are those msq locked
it's in the timers menu, ctrl+u
ohkay
which weapon is this?
hades
Looks like the Hades crafted WAR weapon
They're the Augmented X lv80 weapons on market
i can guy this 0.0
augmented you mean the crafted weapon?
i need to get these glamours from hades! thx, these are amazing
Weird question but is there a quick way to tell which card goes to who for astrologian or do I have to memorize them
that weapon looks fuckin sickkkk
Blue boarder on the job gauge > melees
xd
Purple boarder > ranged
@sick finch i know!
i don't get the agumented part, i have to augment the hades weapon? i am confused
It's a lv80 crafting receipe
Ohhh, never noticed the colors. Thank you!
Which needs a mat that the extreme version drops
Master book 7 they're in
!receipe Augmented Oknos
Damn yoy kupo
Yes, you can craft glowing versions of primal weapons

Hello, i need some items so i can keep on with the main scenario and is there anywhere you can buy item level 410 gear somewhere or something so i can get into the duty??
no, there's a specific one you can get in those areas
there is not
open the coffers you've been getting from MSQ, or grab some cheap gear off the vendors
which vendors do sell gear items??
Get your 430 job gwar
From grendolt in the tempest
The game did tell you this btw
That he'll give you gear
thank you
at least its free gil so it could be worse
does this trials takes longer ?
higher trials have less players queung for them
since many players don't do those roulettes at 80
what to do want to prograss story.
Wait
nows the time to unlock side content
Takes about 10-12 min
or work on getting other classes
its on 15m now
Or did you do your role quests?
i unlocked everything on my job

Oh wait
the life of a DPS player
Role quest is not job quest
im a healer btw. ^
welcome to DPS queues
It’s un... a thing that’s mandatory before you finish shadowbingers
xD
its always like this
Uh... do we have a kupo bot command for role quest?
dont remember
Yeah you should go work on it now
what its do
!faq rolequests
What are Role Quests?
Role Quests serve as a replacement for Job-specific quests for Shadowbringers and are split into four categories (Tank, Healer, Physical DPS, and Magical DPS). These are unlocked with the quest 'Warrior of Darkness' at 71 and all start in the Crystarium around x10-11, y15-16.
At least one of these Role Quest series must be entirely completed in order to complete the Shadowbringers story. Completion of these quests, along with having the appropriate Job at 80, is also required to claim job-specific level 80 i430 gear from Grenoldt in The Tempest.
I can't find where I left off!
No need to worry! Here are links that lead to each of the Role Quest series.
Tank Role Quests
Healer Role Quests
Physical DPS Role Quests
Magical DPS Role Quests
you're required to finish one of them for your msq
so you should work on it before the game stops you
Yeah
it just a side quest nothing else ?
its a required side quests, yes
ok thanks
Basically your job quests essential ly
Also if the quest want to pull you out of queue, might want to wait for queue to pop first
Usually a healer queue shouldn’t take longer than 20 min...?
Also it’s weekly reset, so most people should be doing the trail at 80 for tomes
——
They made it essential since it does tie into the story a little bit
Random question, it is ok to rework and change my hotbar completely while raiding every week?
As in, I raid Tuesday and Thursday
to find what's comfortable?
I’m thinking about reworking my hotbar this Thursday after raid
Ye
Got some new ideas
Want to test them out
as long as you do the not dying and the dps should be fine
Worry I might destroy years of muscle memory lol
Like, what if all my muscle memory is gone? And while practicing using the new hotbars I can’t remember how to use my old hotbars anymore!
just hit a dummy for a bit and find what sticks
i didn't like streching my hand for stuff so i just messed around for a few hous
still not perfect can't really use my third hotbar
ctrl too far, but thats why i play MCH lol
Why do ppl extract their materia after chopping wattle petribark?
are there any people that actually do bozjan clusters farms anymore? i haven't been able to find 1 group inthe last 3 days
People extract materia from gear once it's spritbond is complete
A good way to get some materia if you need some
There is a difference from extract materia and retrieve materia, extract can only be done once it's fully spiritbonded, and retrieve allows you to take matria out that you have melded in, in case you were curious
Neither Bozja or Zadnor?
Does SMN have on demand bursts?
Our SMN had issues killing cloud in e9s
While our healers were fine soloing the clouds...
I did heard that SMN’s Ruin III deals less damage than Glare
Alot of its dmg is in demis
So what i learned from a summoner friend is had was to use both dots and r4s if you need to to get the cloud down
While not preferred since you do enter another demi phase
By dots do you mean just apply them on the cloud?
Yes
I see
Fester does more when the targets have both dots on them
If demis are missing, just apply dot and save some ruin 4 right?
Thinking about picking a melee dps. Dragoon vs samurai. Can’t choose. Which one is more easier to do its dps rotations while paying attention to dungeon mechanics and etc?
kk
Your demis shouldn't be lining with that phase of the fight anyways
I'd say SAM since less focus on positionals and less animation locks
And you'd ignore clouds on tiles 2 since you'll die to enrage anyways
Also the pet strike 1 and 2 should help right?
Is there a melee version of MCH? I barely have couple braincells to rub.
Egi is typically set to center of stage
GNB
GNB, SAM, DRG?
Wouldnt be able to reach the cloud unless you adjust its position
I see
If you set Egi at center, and Demi up, does the Egi also return to center when it comes back?
No
Also is Ifrit Egi Assault 1 or 2 ranged?
No
I’m fairly certain our SMN isn’t conscious about pet placement yet...
Only time I place my pet is opener and inbetween clouds so I can it plus boss with ea2
I see
Hello im new to the endgame for ff14. How do i start relic weapons? What is bozjan?
For gathering, how do you turn this on? to get the bonus
Do you hit cloud with Ifrit EA2?
Meet the stat required
Have Gathering stat > 733
I do.yes
What were the x4 items you needed to bring to bozja to start the relic chain again?
im at 850
Got it, just want to confirm it’s Ifrit
check the pins for gearing, bozja starts by completeing the ivalice alliance raids
I just unlocked dungeon recorder thingy. But I never seen anyone using it since it never prompted me with record check. I thought it will be a good review material for a newbie. Os the recording function bad or something??
Thavnairan powrdet
Thought so, thank you!
No its a shit system that only works on most recent savahes
its not very good compared yo just streaming on obs
I think most people prefer to just stream and use the video records
Oh i see.
What are alliance raids? I skipped to stormblood and i mostly did story till 5.5?
Only some people who want to grab gpose type of thing use it I think
the same as the crystal tower raids, 24-mans
is the Gemstone trader in Eulmore only avalaible once you maxed out all the Shared FATEs?
As in ||https://youtu.be/983o9_of6Hg||
I was hoping for something more like Starcraft where you can review your whole replay and check each unit and etc. not just watching it being replayed.
Yes, have to max out all shared fates to unlock eulmore and crystarium gemstone traders
Are the eden raids worth playing besides the story?

they are current endgame so yes
Is anyone else having game crash issues when in the Ondo Cups?
But id have to do savage right?
No
no, there's a normal version for story
have to? no
!faq contentunlock
now that you;ve done MSQ you can do whatever strikes your fancy
Thx for the help!
Put it simply: no one remembers this even exists
lol
One of the many "great idea, poor implementation"
Where do I go if I want help w/ lowering the DPS queue timers? I've been waiting 29 minutes for this Queue to pop.
palace of the dead
Trying to do MSQ's
does role quest have something related to the story or just you need to finish to complete shb
assuming you don't have a friend to help yaa
yeah, that is why my main is a tank. 😭
it's related
you'll need to do many
i skipped a lot of them
Very related to the story
how so
please
It's about ||Ardbert and hos party members... Doing them.all leads to an extra quest to learn the truth of the Flood||
how to increase rate of bozjan notes dropping?
You dont
lol sad
Is this a question komoto
Waot wrong place lel
some notes are 100% drops from the duels, but otherwise low %, it's just rng sadly
hi guys~ i want to dye my chocobo but it says i need a stable, which needs a house. i have 3mil gil, but i dont have second lieteunent rank, is there any way to get a stable without the company rank?
can join a free company with a house or have a friend who owns a house make a tenant
that said tho, getting to 2nd LT isn't really hard so no reason to not do it
the hard part is getting the house
most people jsut pull all-nighters for a week and can grab one
i just started heavensward and i think i read you need to beat the main story to get that far in the company?
You don't need to beat the msq to get that far in GC
its just a matter of turning in seals for promotions
oh ;_;
You can buy an apartment tho
it's called housing: Savage for a reason
if all you want is to dye your chocobo
