Do you know what patch it was? i want to read just to undersand why the guy is saying that
whats the website of ff shop?
mogstation
5.3, aka Reflections in Crystal
just because it's a team effort doesn't mean you don't set the pace
Have bad dps in the group and you'll quickly realize how little power you have.
the point is that the tank by itself cannot set th epace without teammates properly
you as the tank choose what pace to set, and if they can't keep up, you slow the pace
how do i use my code for the sub in the game?
but you're still dictating the pace
is that not the same with healers and DPS
y'know what this is not a question anymore
the difference is the initiative
but yeah pointless to discuss further
semantics at this point
and this is semantics anyway, point being the question was answered so i will concede your point is fair regardless 
how is the level boost called?
!faq skips
Tales of Adventure: <EXPACNAME> This item skips the story quests on the character you get it on to the end of the expansion listed. All the main story quests and aether current quests up to that point will be completed. It will not increase your character's job levels. Any MSQ rewards missed can be obtained at the calamity salvager or from the market board except the free fantasia, which is forfeit. You will also receive 10 silver chocobo feathers and 500k gil in platinum pieces.
Tales of Adventure: One <JOBNAME> Journey This item increases a given job to level 70. It will not skip your story progress to level 70. You cannot use this if you've already completed the level 70 job quest for that given job. You will also receive a full set of ilvl400 gear and some accessories as well as 500k gil in platinum pieces.
DISCLAIMER: DO NOT HARASS PEOPLE ABOUT WANTING TO USE/PURCHASE SKIPS
!faq levelskip
oopies
minor thing but you might also want to mention that the msq skip unlocks all side dungeons
yes
Yes
yes
correct
only one expansion?
yes shadowbringers includes stormblood
until endwalker comes out
then you need to buy that too
did you go to the spot and target it
Is this true? Or is the amount that deagrro before hitting a wall not worth the rest of the dungeon biting your ass
for copperbell yes it's true, some mobs deaggro
copperbell is like one of the few dungeons where mobs do actually have an aggro leash
yes some mobs in the first bit and shortly before second boss have a shorter leash
But for the rest of the dungeons they will usually chase you down all the way to the last boss
it really be
not the first time that's been askedh ere
qarn too
yeah. it's mostly the mobs right after the first elevator. it's really odd
In Brayflox you can be chased the entire way
middle of brayflox is so cursed
Thanks a lot (:
Also, is there something super good that i can get with Allegory tomestones from Woundrous Tails? Im a new player and not doing lvl 80 stuff yet (didnt even reach lvl 80 MSQ), so idk if i should go for that or MGP/Silver/Bronze/Revelation Tomes certificates ...
Tomestones of Allegory are used to purchase current endgame gear.
Allegory Tomestones are not worth it from that as they can be acquired through 80 content
you cant use allegory until lvl 80
That is not correct, Revelation is
after you finish shb
Allegory is used most often for augmenting the current crafted gear, which is "Exarchic". This is good beginner gear for when you just reach 80.
There are three sets of tomestone current endgame gear. While Cryptlurker is the most up to date, Crystarium (purchased with Allegory) is still pretty good.
There is no reason to buy Crystarium gear with the various avenues we have for gear better than it
Hence why I no longer consider it exactly endgame gear
It's cheaper than buying and augmenting a set of exarchic gear, but /shrug
They can just go do edens for gear automatically better than it
but this is not answering the question
Yo! What are "smart"/efficient jobs for extra retainers? And why? I figure a DoL/DoH job or two would be good because my actual character is only meant to beat things up kekw
Allegory is also used to buy materials to craft stuff that you can sell on the MB for some extra cash
you need to level a dol in order to make your retainer one
your retainer level cant pass your level
general recommendation is one combat and one gatherer, but the caveat is that your retainers can only go as high as you are in that class/job
as for the journal question, go for the bronze. you can sell the cosmetics you get from it for a decent sum of money
so if you're not going to gathering classes, there's no point in making a retainer one
Dang, I totally forgot about that caveat
the materials retainers give back every 18 hours on long ventures are usually just to be sold for small sums of money anyway, so there's not really anything crazy you're missing out on if you set a retainer as some class or the other regardless
two combat is perfectly fine if that's all you have atm, you do not really lose out on anything long-term
Cool beans; really not tryna do non-combat jobs. Thanks, guys o/
Whats the most expensive hairstyle I can buy with these Pagentry tomes?
none
can you bind the hotbar cycle buttons to your mouse scroll?
they're probably permanently cheap because of the pageantry tomes
if I wanted to just scroll between hotbars
Got it, thank you
oh right and to iterate further, ur last option is the MGP
i mean
there is nothing that is time-limited by MGP so raw gil > the MGP reward
I have a question about Bard in FFXIV
go for it
form and function is marginally more expensive than gyr abanian plait on my market
So I used to play a Bard in Aion years ago, and in Aion the Bard plays lots of music in combos
Is FFXIV's bard like that?
just check between one of the two
Not in combat.
not in combat no
you have funny music tools outside of combat
but otherwise you just play like a normal class usually
XIV Bard uses sustained songs (lasting 30s each) to buff the party and proc certain effects for themselves.
They have three of these, which they use in rotation.
the songs are different phases and such that you juggle yeah
no actual music is tied to these
!action wanderer's minuet
dang
dammit kupo
Although the songs do generate a passive buffing aura for your party.
well I appreciate the info
!action mage's ballad
Deals unaspected damage with a potency of 100.
Additional Effect: Grants Mage's Ballad to all party members within 30 yalms, increasing their damage dealt by 1%
Duration: 30s
Additional Effect: 40% chance to grant Repertoire when damage over time is dealt by Caustic Bite or Stormbite Repertoire Effect: Resets the recast timer of Bloodletter and Rain of Death
This action does not share a recast timer with any other actions. Furthermore, the recast timer cannot be affected by other actions.
!action the Wanderer's Minuet
Deals unaspected damage with a potency of 100.
Additional Effect: Grants the Wanderer's Minuet to all party members within 30 yalms, increasing their critical hit rate by 2%
Duration: 30s
Additional Effect: 40% chance to grant Repertoire when damage over time is dealt by Caustic Bite or Stormbite Repertoire Effect: Allows execution of Pitch Perfect
Can be stacked up to 3 times.
This action does not share a recast timer with any other actions. Furthermore, the recast timer cannot be affected by other actions.
you have to include "the"
dammit kupo
So it's more like an archer with some song buffs?
the job quests focus on the bard aspect more
but its more just some buffs, dots, and procs
You apply your dots to enemies, activate your songs (one at a time, not concurrently), and wait for them to proc their effects so you can do more damage.
sadge
If you want a class that gets more into multiple combos for different effects... Ninja.
NIN's got a whole bunch of stuff with their mudras.
Nothing freestyle, but there's about 7(?) different combos you can use.
Dancer does have dances that it does during combat so that might be your thing
It wasn't necessarily the combos per se, it was just in aion if you went through a whole combo chain in your rotation it would play a song
playing part of the song with each ability in the combo
Nothing like that
it was neat
That does sound cool
that does sound neat
fuck it, send it to the devs, BRD is in kinda a rough spot at the moment
Noob pal tank question - how often should I be popping shelltron? Spam it when able to or part of mitigation cd?
plus you could drop a giant clef on people
Sheltron only lasts 6s, you should use it right before a big damage attack comes out on you.
It's your short defensive Cooldown
It's a short term mitigation, not sustained
But gauge builds back@up at a decent rate though no?
with every weaponskill, aye.
As long as your auto attacks are decently fast, sure.
But there's no detriment to capping your gauge.
It's not like it's wasted dps or anything.
Ok was just curious whether it was more beneficial to pop shell once gauge min requirement is met
Or situational like timed cd skills
i tend to use it for trash just as much as for bosses
It's mostly situational, but you'll learn when it's most beneficial to use it outside of boss tankbusters.
when u buy sthing in the market board where does it go?
Directly to your inventory
If it’s equipment then your armoury if you have that option selected in item settings
i havent selected anything first time using market board
Glamour plate question, If I put a Jet black dye on the chest spot of a glamour plate any item I put in that will get the dye colour right? so I can have 10 different glamour items black with only the one dye?
i just bought it
If you bought armor and you haven't changed the defaults, it went into your armory for that slot.

it would be easier doing cl suter farm in Zadnor now?
Easier than... what?
It'd the same
well, number of people who actively farm in that area?
Better off doing it in bsf for memories on the sid
not really?
Black Mage and Dark Knight kinda.
but we are the hero of the story, be kinda weird if we used evil magic
i dont see how it'd be weird
we are called the Warrior of Light
antiheroes are things
still not us
magic isnt evil
and dark knight is an antihero
they use dark magic
dark knight story is literally just "arent you tired of being nice all the time? dont you just wanna go APESHIT"
well the 30-50 aye
im just tryna figure out if there's a class that i would like
based on what ive played in other mmos
watch the class video in the pins
why not try all of them?
ill just burn out
tbf this is an MMO
but yeah check out the video in the pins
then pick the coolest one
hey, where does it say how much XP a recipe gives ?
Hello! Very new to the game and i noticed on the store it says final fantasy 14 online complete edition for 15,99 but when i add it to cart its 40? 😦
You also get bonus experience if you attempt to High Quality an item, the item itself does not need to HQ
are you buying on steam?
no I mean, I just started to grind blacksmith. If I craft a bronze ingot for exemple I get xp right ?
correct
yes windows version
the sale might have ended since it ends today
oh no
it hasnt ended
wait
it ends tonight
thats not how timezones work
where does it say how much xp a recipe gives ? or it doesn't say that anywhere
it does not say
oh ok
ADDED TO CART
FINAL FANTASY XIV ONLINE
COMPLETE EDITION
PC 15,99 € but when i look at cart it says 40 mhh 😮
screenshot
Can i post screenshot here?
Ye
🤦♂️
i just said it hasnt ended
it has not ended yet.
It changes to 39,99 in the end
did not work, i mean im okey with paying that but it would be a preeetty sweet deal with 60% off so thats a bummer 😮
if it actually makes you pay full price then i would talk to support because it shouldnt do that
What's the level difference between quests and handing them in with lower level classes?
I will try write to them then 🙂 thanks alot guys!
you can't
must be on level
is there something wrong with SE's store right now?
only thing in my cart is a time code, and I don't have the option of proceeding with the purchase
I can't see my phoenix when i summon him, but i can see bahamut just fine? Is there a fix for this
Are you 80?
Yes, but i am synced to lower when im doing msq dungeon
does that matter?
around 75~
ohhhh ok thanks
Does Thordan's Reign have a crafting item drop? I know there's the Helm Fragment, but that's a trade item.
which DPS has the best storyline
That's the iten
Samurai has a pretty nice one for 50-60, 60-70 I didn’t personally like but I see the appeal of it
Is leviathan soloable by summoner or do i have to have a physical dps class with me?
Yes
I liked the DRG one, myself.
already wanted to try samurai
The tail reflects magic so kill the head
guess i'll go for it
At LV80, you can solo basically any of the ARR Primal fights.
Guys... How do I change compaines? I am doing my relic books and one of the quests requires me to be part of another company that i am currently not a part of.. does anyone know?
You don’t need to.
Is there a time limit to pre-ordering Endwalker and getting early access to it
up until it releases
- that is not required for the relic quest
- you can talk to one of the officers at the company desk of the one you want to join
which relic book is having you do this exactly?
Up until official launch
How do you keep your companion chocobo alive as a DPS?
By killing the thing
Ah thats good... Wait doesnt that mean early access is the actual official launch 
And let it do the healing
i imagine you're talking about it getting hit by raid-wides
or aoes or whatever and it's bird brain doesn't let it move
No, official official launch
Not really, Official Launch date is a few days later
ahh maybe I didn't read it right, it said i had to be rank 2... I thought i meant in their company, maybe its just in the one that u are in. Thank you.
But during Early Access, there isn’t a separate “official” instance of the game being ran
So if something goes wrong during EA, you can still be effected even if you didn’t buy expansion
ya just the one u are in
gl gl
I think maybe this Early Access is intended so that reviewers can get a review done by the time the expansion “Officially Launch”?
there isnt a limit to the EA announced at all right
like you can get to the final quest in those five days if you wanted to
No there isnt
It is essentially the full launch for people who preorder
But it's not the proper one
Thanks, I see its gated behind progress, have to get to sergeant rank 3 ughhhhhh.
I’m fairly certain the whole development team goes into no sleep mode the second early access begins
People who don't have the expansion will still be locked out
I just bought a small house and Im not able to useit?
do ur hunting log and some fates, then unlock dungeon turn-ins
Do regular phoenix downs work in Eureka?
i wanna say yes
Yes
not in Baldesion Arsenal though
Social > housing menu and buy a permit
thanks last question, will endwalker purchase have sub time or is that unkown?
unknown but i'm guessing no since shb didn't give any
so no reason why they would do it now
this is correct
purchase a permit then build the estate hall
yes
no
you have to pick one of three pre-set smalls basically
then you customize after
i had a house before with furniture
but now the furniture is gone (i paid for the furniture)
what should i do..
you should have that house transferred over if you had a house before, unlessi t was demolished
If it's been longer than 30days after Demolishion then it's gone for good
in any case you can grab it back from any calamity salvager
if not, then yeah it's just gonezo like Vinyl said
it was demolishjed
ouch
they were very expensive
demolishing house is understandable
but losing furniture is a disgusting thing from ffxiv..
Its fine u can be homeless like the rest of us
This is why you pick stuff up before unsubbing
well they aren't
ay.. now i learnt it the harsh way
bc they just bought another one luckily
rip all the gil

How much gil didnt you spend
what does "next leve allowance" mean under timers?
i spent around 15mill gil
and around $30usd in furniture
i can't find the furniture i paid real money for?
You get three levequests every time that timer resets. You can do only as many levequests as you have allowances.
leves recharge at 3 charges per 12 hours
Its fine just dont eat lunch for a week and buy it again
Hun, there are furnitures sold on Mog Station?
A few old seasonal items yes
i won't eat lunch for a month
Try contact support,
Support usually allow you to grab back stuff you lost once
Just make a full list of stuff you need back
NICE ONE
oh they don't know?
Yeah even in China, a meal is like more than a dollar
They can figure it out, but GM is only allowed to give you back stuff you lost ONCE
Like, Once per account
So make sure they give back a full list of everything destroyed
its the first time so it should be fine
Otherwise if they accidentally miss something you lost... you might be out of luck
Moo if you get your items back and come here 2 months later after u unsub again to ask again
Ima laugh

AHHAHAHAA
I MIGHT DO THAT
but this time i'll make sure to withdraw first
i just didn't know
they take furniture too
thiefs.
How long is the ARR campaign now
40 hours?
is there a way to check what quests ive done other than visiting each quest location? imn trying to unlock namazu, and none of the quests are showing up.
I think there was a thing that allowed you to track stuff on your account
Don’t remember the name

Better in what way
You can check your journal, it should be listed there.
There are tons of factors
A few more mechanics, fewer matched floors, few more floor tile sets, different pomanders.
not an exact copy yeah, with the differences reze mentioned
Yeah, HoH is more of the same, but with different items to use too.
but it's the same gameplay loop
Yo, is there any guide for relic weapons from the very beginning?
Which relic
Yes, which one? Each expansion have a relic
The lv80 weathered gear, is it possible to get them for every job i have? Or is it just 1 time thing? Like only for the first job I leveled to 80?
Yes you can
Its from a quest right?
All jobs
Which is the fastest relic wep to get? With an est time of how long it takes plZ
👀
It’s from Grenoldt after you do your role quests
Well, idk actually. DRK prob
Oh i see, so I can get it for all the job
I think lv 80 is fairly easy?
Thanks!
It’s still a really deep time sink
@stiff crow, it is unlocked once you get to 80 and have the level 80 role quest completed.
(+ the last L79 MSQ)
No idea... 50 hours?
Damn im taking the week off work
I just don't know anything behind the process of obtaining it. Like quests, reagents, how long does it take and etc.
I guess
Did you do Bozja?
No
Then yeah, at least 50 hours
Because you need to pretty much complete whole Bozja to farm it
Yep and get to rank 10 too.
Probably more like 60 now, because BSF is very dead
Check the links we posted above, and pick one to start
Thanks
Nah, still much populated in my DC.
You pick the glamour you like, lv 50 60 70 80
Then start from the beginning for that relic
Not in mine, and both me and seby are on crystal.
How do i upgrade my elemental armour to +1?
so i found the journal, found what querst im missing (*i think)....butr the lady isnt giving me said quest >_<
continue to hydatos, a vendor will allow you to exchange the piece along with hydatos crystals for +1 pieces
Strange, because there is a reason to be there even at max rank. (The weekly quests and the memories farm.)
the artisan?
i believe so
I spoke to him and he said something about "go to the pyros camp"
do I need an entire set to start upgrading?
Yes.
You also need all 56 Eureka Actions unlocked + a Pyros relic.
^
Do I need to complete all the Crystal Tower quests chain to progress with the MSQ? Or only certain quests?
all of it
you have to do the entire CT series
The whole chain
and pay attention, it's important
I got the hydatos relic does it count or does it need to be in pyros stage
no, no that's fine
It does count.
They really don't want me to go to Heavensward, how annoying
CT is pretty quick ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Even the raid?
yes
each one takes like maybe 15-25 minutes now, yeah
they're scaled very poorly to where people are overtuned
You can use this to see which ones you still need:
FFXIV Eureka NM pop time tracker
So i've been doing levequests for the past hr and its not going down? is this only for regular levequests?
so you just demolish them
it might be baldesion arsenal exclusive ones like magic burst
so check the wbesite dreamy gave and check what you need to make it
Next Leve Allowance timer and your total Leve Allowances are separate things. Your total allowances are shown at the bottom of your Journal window.
Thanks
oh wow, I see, thank you!!
is there a half way easier way to level up an alt job in ShB?
Bozja is the alternative way.
Alright so I can get it form the NPC each time I maxed a job right?
@stable hinge
You need 190 Hydatos Crystals too for 1 full upgraded +1 set.
There is a Elemental +2 armor too, but that only gives an Eureka bonus and no extra stats. (And looks 100% the same as the +1 one)
correctamundo
Bozja nuts?
Yes as long you have the role quest for that job completed.
I don't want to have to go back to the source to level SAM
bozja is not in the source
what is it?
Uhhh yes it is.
bozja is in the source
bozja is an open-world instance where you go around and do fates and fight bosses in critical engagments
OH
sorry i
confused The FIrst and Source
Linked to ShB Relic
i am in a food coma
I only just started ShB
oh you need to finish Shadowbringers first
You can't touch it til 5.1
ugh
Also you need the sb alliance raid quests done
but it's a lot like Eureka if you've heard of that
it's open-world fates with a bunch of other contnet including the relic behind it
It's well worth looking into
Thanks! I'm mostly looking for the stats since im thinking of doing BA
I don't know what Eureka is
If you want to get the relic to i535 you do need to complete up to the 5.4 MSQ @potent shoal !
don't really worry about it, just look into it
Okay notes, thanks!
5.4's tied into Bozja? Is Zadnor locked behind it?
Yes Zadnor needs 5.4 story done.
damn i did not know
For the Elemental +2 set you need to do BA, the fragments required for that are BA only.
Elemental +1 is just 190 Hydatos Crystals.
it takes MANY BA runs
so i can only suggest going for it if you know you're going to running a LOT of eureka after the fact
elemental +1 and +2 are also visually indentical if you were also caring about looks
Thanks, hopefully Ill get the stuff I need soon
It does
It does
It was on the live letter slide
Is there a button to examine other player's glamour?
technically. you can examine a person and pull up their cahr menu, then hover over the armor pieces
Target them > right click their hp bar > exanime
nvm I'm just insane
hovering over for a short time will tell you what the piece is / what's glammed onto it
@outer mural
From the 5.55 patch notes:
i see
Whats the point in doing a role quest on an alt class
to get the job gear
Good xp, story and gets job gear
70 like any other role quest
and I don't see it in the top left
Role quests aren't tracked there
oh
So What can i do to gain exp when doing a new job Ive already did the duty finder
!faq altlvlguide
ty
where does the caster role quest start at
Is the speed belt going in 6.0 as well?
All belts are going in 6.0
You won't be able to wear belts so yes
Man
what do we get for losing ourbelts
Nothing
Nothing
more space
i mean more space good but some of us invested in making belts
Well yeah more armoury space for weapons and rings
In fact it will take your materia with it so you'll get less
Belts are fucking useless
its a slap in da cheek meat
how am i gonna keep my pants up tho
Aether
Real men don't wear pants
yup
Everything in Aether
Don't need belts where we going
real men wear loincloths
if I buy tales: one heros journey for warrior and dont have the expansion, will I still get lv 70?
can I buy one heros journey for dark knight even when I didnt do the dark knight quest?
No to this
Yes to your second question
so Ill get 50 lv
I don’t believe you’ll even be able to buy it
Can you even buy it
I think the answer is no
Wait yeah the answer is no
You can't buy anything from Mogstation on free trial
you can'y buy things on the free trial
You can
I dont have free trial
Just not level skips
What do you have
I bought the game for 10€ on steam
I couldn't buy Lady's Knickers (Black) on free trial
Just the base game?
Not SB and ShB too?
yeah just the base
How recently was that? They changed it
If I wanted to craft level 80 HQ Aesthete's crafting gear - what equipment would I need before that? Professional set? Facets?
Store page doesn’t mention needing to own the expansions
But I’d recommend against buying it anyway
Wasting ten of those levels
white scrip gear
Do tec step and standard step stack?
Right around the week the live letter happened in February because I bought complete edition when it went on sale immediately after
Yes
Yes
Dooope
anyone here on light wanting to help a low level in a dungeon?
Ty o/
Free trial players can buy cosmetics now
any advice on things to buy whilst in the free trial and nearing the Gil Cap?
getting mats for leveling crafters
yo i was wondering how to like get cute glamours?? im not super far but so far i havent found anything other than ugly cotton clothes and all like that
the closer you get to endgame the more options you get for glamour

if I eat a food that has less stats bonus % than another food I ate 1 minute before, the newbonus stats, even if they're less, are what I get?
new food overwrites old food
If I entered a 1-player fight inside a MSQ, can I get out ?
So i recently saw a video talking about camera/movement settings
whats everyone using?
legacy
My only issue with legacy is i can left click to pan around my character
I just entered in msq lvl 75 ||inside a pyramid with Y'shtola and Almet|| but my static is rdy to do some content, and I wanna get out
Im used to eso/daoc style camera controls
get out of combat, usually via dieing and resetting the instance
yeah, I'm not in combat, the place is like a dungeon, there are enemies way ahead tho
i don't left click much so that's why i use it
plus i rebind my movement keys for strafe, forward, and backwards and use the mouse to turn
yeah i dont strafe at all
guess its the pvper in me wanting these controls.. however the legacy thing in the video seems different
i use right click and wasd mostly to keep uptime during eye mechanics
Duty finder menu should let you exit the instance
I tried, but no luck
i want to see give out ceremony of eternal bonding invites out, is there any channel i can post information about it on?
reminder that Wanderers can't enter the wedding. or did they change that?
is bojoa like euereka ?
Are they letting cross datacenter play happen this year?
Only how much you can access and what fragments yoy can appraise
"before endwalker"
Given EW releases in November? Most likely.
i still dont know how bojoa works ill just have finish the raid story and start it
Klad Vinyl is absolutely lying to you. Let me give you the full run down.
?
Lol?
Bojza for the most part is grinding fates and CEs to get mettle to rank up to progress the story and unlock more of the zone
👍
Bozja is similar to Eureka in... not very many ways aside from lootboxes and the fact its an instance.
I hope you like FATE grinding because thats... a good chunk of what bozja is save for like- wait, is The Dalradia a massive alliance raid like DR, or is it also a fate like CLL?
Unlike in Eureka however, you CAN'T level/rank up through killing wandering monsters, and there aren't elemental strengths and weaknesses. Oh, and while the monsters- nor you as a matter of fact- don't have levels, the monsters themselves have ranks. Rank I and II monsters you could probably solo, but III, IV, and Star-ranked mobs will kick your teeth in if you're not equipped for them.
Is there a bank in the game?
Retainers
Retainers (if you're not Free Trial), and the Chocobo Saddle Bag.
@leaden ginkgo I'm on free trial, oh, I've not yet got the chocobo, is that a mid game thing?
More like 1/3rd of the ~~trial ~~game. You'll get there soon enough.
The bird lv20 story
Ah, ok, I've taken a small brake from that and now i'm just cutting down trees :>
Maybe I should get the bird before gathering.
Thats a wonderful idea.
OK so...Similarities
Special duty actions
Fate spamming is the prime levelling (no one levelled via mobs, everyone braindeaded fate trains)
You lose shit by dying
Need to do the story inside to unlock more shit
Stuff is spawned by killing specific mobs
Different mobs for different times of day and weather which have the different aggro systems
There's VERY good reasons people call it Eureka but better
there's no need to argue in #questions-and-help, vinyl's answer was accurate and sufficient.
The difference is the bad shit was removed
It was just streamlined a bit yeah
And also the various boss fights that spawn in the form of CEs are pretty fun.
is there an lfg chat?
Not in game..people post ads in party finder and wait
Discord would be recruitment channels below
ah ok
is this guide to crafting Aesthet's Set still uptodate? https://old.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/iasclz/53_r490_minstat_558cp_aesthetes_set_crafting/
Seems to be? Can always test with trial synthesis
Don't see any removed skills in the macros
Thanks, I knew the skills were up to date but I didn't wanna go through all the gathering to have it fail lol
I'm not at the pre-requistes yet
There’s a crafting spreadsheet on the Balance server with gear sets & rotations that should be up-to-date. I use that for crafting (and tweak the rotation as needed).
That aside, it looks fine, ye.
Can you only mooch fish if they're HQ?
Yes
Ohh
Speaking of fishing— I’m mooching for a quest, and the bigger fish keeps getting away. I assume my Gathering stat is too low?
why does it say on the status page that I can create a character in Gilgamesh but when I confirm my name, it's now saying that I cant create a character ?
the server might be full and it's not always up to date with if you can in exact real time
Lodestone updates slowly
just keep trying for af ew minutes, you will eventually get in
my friends got in within 15 of that same issue
yeah that just means it's populated rn
best u can do is wait and keep hacking at it, or try at later hours when peeps be asleep
kk thanks

hey so im sure this has been asked thousands of times but how much do worlds really matter? Me and some friends got the game and made characters on Behemoth recently and now some others want to join but behemoth is full rn, so i was wondering if we could still play with them even if theyre on another server
No
Data centre matters
Cause world visit exists you can just visit servers on the same Data centre
To do things
are those unlimited?
The World Visit System allows players to visit other worlds on the same data center. After hopping to another world, you are then able to do almost everything you are normally able to such as partying up to take on duties. Click the link below to find out how it works, and what restrictions there are.
Vinyl's leaving out how World Visit hasl imitations and World/DC selection does matter if you have friends playing the game already and if you wanna hang out with them.
Only for being in the same guild
And like sharing houses
Which aren't really that important
You can do literally everything with world visit
Except share a guild/house
As stated in the faq
The big fish has indeed a minimum gathering stat required, but big fish are also not really affected by a much higher gathering stat either, even at level 80, level 50 big fish still have a big chance to get away.
What level do we get our mounts? It's been too long and I can't remember D;
So I can keep playing the free trial, buy the complete edition right now before the sale ends, but save that code for the content and free 30 days yeah?
'When can I get my first mount?'
The quest that allows you to use mounts, 'My Little Chocobo' is unlocked by completing the level 20 main story quest 'The Company You Keep'. The quest is located at the Grand Company base you chose and you'll need to buy the Chocobo Issuance from your Grand Company Quartermaster. You can get the 200 needed Grand Company seals by doing the main story quest that comes after 'The Company You Keep'.
'Are there any differences between mounts?'
Besides looks, all mounts are the same speed along with being able to fly. Some mounts allow multiple people to ride at once.
'Can I make my mount faster?'
Zones have one or two ranks of mount speed that increase the ground speed of mounts. The first rank comes from completing specific quests in the main scenario quests, with the second rank coming from Riding Maps which are bought with either Allied Seals, Centurio Seals, or Bicolor Gemstones. Mount Speed Boosts do not increase the flying speed of mounts.
If you're on the PC version, fuck yeah.
Tyvm!.
HELL YEH BOIII
Welcome to FFXIV, fam.
Right, my turn.
How long does it take to farm a full set of Cryptlurker left side (no belt or weapon), and how much is an Augmented Scaevan weapon?
Augmented Scaevan or Augmented Cryptlurker's? Because that's a huge difference in ilvl
Augmented Ironworks/Shire/Scaevan weapons are 600 poetics
!quest hail to the queen
should i bother trying to make HQ items for supply missions at the GC?
Judging by the look of relief on Keiten's face, you have saved him a great deal of time.
Keiten
Kugane (X: 12.23 Y: 12.36)
Marsak
Yanxia (X: 16.32 Y: 8.59)
Shadowbringers
The City of Lost Angels
Path to the Past
If you can yes, since it doubles the EXP and seals you get
It seems like a lot of extra time over quick synthesis
Quick synthesis is horrible for experience
oh no, really?
A big chunk of the experience you get from crafting is by raising the quality bar
oooooh.
I see
dumb question is the handsaint gear (lvl 80 script exchange gear III) the best crafting gear? there isn't +500ilvl crafting gear?
excluding weapons
Handsaint is the best scrip gear, but the crafted set, Aesthete, is better when melded
If you don’t care about 4-star crafting then Handsaint is all you need
Stats basically indicate difficulty at the same level
Another crafting related question -- Are there any recommended intervals at which to craft my own gear upgrades for gatherer/crafter jobs or do I just grab each upgrade every time I hit the required level?
With harder crafts and higher stats needed to craft them
I see
I generally recommend upgrading tools as much as possible since they’re your biggest source of stats. Accessories too since they don’t appear too often
Is there any reasons not to extract when 100% spirit bond on an item?
Nope
Gotcha, thank you 😄
For the rest of the left-side gear you can generally skip every other step assuming it doesn’t cross a level cap (50/60/70)
is it a quest chain ?
No reason at all, it gives you a materia, and sets it back to 1 percent
You need the stormblood 24-man alliance raid series completed
The rest of the Bozja quests are mainly in Gangos, which is accessed at the Doman Enclave Aetheryte
how do i gather stuff as a collectible?
If you're a fisher, look in your actions and traits for a collectable glove action
No
Stuff that's meant to be a collectible will open a Collectors menu
Collectors glove no longer exists
it was limited edition?
It was a skill
(is bad joke)
It still exists for fishers
Only Rarefied items and stuff for Custom deliveries will open the collectors menu
Since they kept their system of it
Well yeah cause fish is wack
so will the tomestone wekely cap ever rise to like 900 or something?
Yes
In July/August in one of those patches
Same time when savage/nier gets unlocked
And all that stuff
hello, are the hunting logs safe to skip?
i'm playing free trial now
level 21
just unlocked rank 2
The early ones are nice for experience, but they aren’t required
They're nice for alt jobs to start out
but the enemy levels are so much lower
How do you use limit break?
But you can ignore them
Actions and traits in general
Yellows are just lore
my bar is full but idk how to activate it
Shit xp wise
should i just go with master quests and class quests?
Use the limit break button that's in the general tab of actions and traits
and anything with + sign
go ahead and unlock these quests when you see one :D
!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.
Yes
Basically stuff in and under the main scenario tracker top left corner are HIGHEST priority
ok thank you
starting to get bored doing the yellow ones
also for the story, i've been hearing much praise about it
when does it pick up? heavensward?
How do you activate your limit break?
click it
.
After building at least one bar ofc
Limit break is a shared resource in the party
So don’t waste it
hm the thing i was trying to gather didnt come as collectible
It is in your Actions and Traits menu, drag the action to your hotbar
yep
What item
ok thanks
Yes
othardian plum
That's not a collectible
Collectible items are ones with Rarefied in their name for scrips
Or ones used for Custom deliveries/Aetherical reduction
Ah, got it. Thanks!
Nothing else is a collectible
They majorly changed collectibles in like 5.3 and the wikis haven't bothered to adjust old collectible info
i can do shb relics in any job but diffrent weapon ?
You don't need to be that job to get stuff
i did a lot of mine on blue mage
its like stages ?
Basically all my stuff is gotten on warrior cause Bloodsucker warrior go brr
Yes there's multiple stages
And multiple quests
3 stages for the first set
i dont want lost track
i cant multiple the wepaons ?
or i have to do it one by one
You can but the quests need to be separate steps

You need like 5-6? Jobs to hold all the active repeatable quests
you have to do most steps for every single weapon
welcome to relics
ok^
By design they're a time sink
Cause you know
There's 6 months until the expansion
Soooooo
Make it last
Relics are often the big time sink people do inbetween large patches due to the time they take
If they're not doing other stuff like savage and all
There's no more content coming until endwalker outside of events
So gotta make it all last until then
so if ew released they will focus on getting ew relics and shb will be less people
there's always some people doing old relics
i see anima relic farms on PF a lot in crystal
And bojzan is mostly Solo proofed already
Whats the go to single target spell for BLU? I've been spamming choco meteor in trials cause every other spell I have has the same/lower potency without a chocobo
You can solo fates and CEs if the zone is empty
Is there a website that shows drop rates for mob drops?
Any 220 potency spell
sonic boom, low GCD so you have more time to move
Got it ill go for sonic boom in that case thanks @modest igloo @faint flare
220 potency spell or something like sonic boom to help weave
thanks
😦 So how do I figure out which mob is best to kill for certain resources?
so one thing that
has been holding me back from playing is i cant get the audio to workk
Without always pestering someone for the info, that is
you dont farm mobs, you use retainers for that stuff
farming mobs for drops really isn't a thing tbh
I can't use retainers, trial account
Garlandtools shows where things come from iirc
just look up what mobs drop those items then and farm the lowest level one so you can kill them quickly
^
Alright, will do. Thanks
crafting is meant to be harder to prevent FT bots from doing it
i think there's a cap on how much certain mobs will give stuff before they stop as well
hmmm don't think there is
there was someone in here asking about that a week or so ago
said they stopped getting any drops
¯_(ツ)_/¯
that could've just been confirmation bias
That would be slightly annoying
since drop rates aren't like amazing to begin with
Although I don't think I'm likely to hit the cap just doing missions for GC
So will male Viera be as tall as the women?
don't know yet
ive heard of some worlds having different reputations, like some are more geared towards endgame content or smth, is this really a very big deal or would yall say its barely that noticeable
barely noticeable
i raid great on the server with supposedly the lowest raid scene
!faq worldpick
You can play on any world on any datacenter within FFXIV. Aside from the languages spoken, the physical location of the servers, and the status of each world, there are no major differences. This also means population on a given server is quite meaningless.
The majority of content is cross-world, with the exception of Free Companies, Linkshells, and restrictions when visiting other worlds.
If you don't mind where you play, choose a world that is Preferred or New for character creation bonuses. Check world status by using !status <world name> or via the Lodestone. For information about the status types, use !faq worldtype.
Notable worlds:
- Balmung & Mateus (Role-playing)
- Tonberry & Kujata (Large amount of Oceanic players)
- Moogle (Large amount of French players)
- Shiva (Large amount of German players)
ANY CENSUSES OR WORLD STEREOTYPES BEYOND THIS IS INACCURATE BIAS AND SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY
There aren’t server-specific raid scenes at all
Is bard that hard to play? I heard that is the hardest ranged and also the worst, Im asking because I have cerebral palsy so my hands are a bit slower than average Im playing dancer now and its ok but I want a change but maybe is not worth it if is that difficult plus a bad dps
Only datacentre
yeah thats what i meant
Raiding is done crossworld
alright cool, thanks guys!
Obviously you can still raid on crystal
Just statistically fewer raiders, fewer cleared players on the datacentre.
@modest igloothere are no pictures of them?
DNC and BRD play at about the same speed imo, so you should be totally fine
the only pics we have don't have any other races in the video
i wouldn't say brd is difficult, but its got a lot of procs
I see
When people say brd is the worst they mean by like a less than 1% difference compared to the next job up
Also I believe they’re ahead of MCH in rdps rankings on most fights
BRD is fine, all classes are viable, balance is tight.
most people say "worst" bc they aren't a fan of the feel of the class, but it stills raids great
feel is super subjective
BRD is quite busy and has a lot of different timers, gauges and procs to keep track of
But it’s fine
I'm big sad that absolutely zero of BRD's buffs buff itself
i would say it being more busy is a bit of a concern if you're a bit slower with your hands but its not like its the end of the world if you can't hit every single proc
I am lvl 53 Dragoon and I'm looking at my actions. These aren't lit up like the others for some reason. Why is that? Can I not use them for some reason?
have you been doing your job quests?
Uh... I think so? Where do I need to go?
look underneath the MSQ tracker
the main scenario quest tracker shows important side quests underneath it
namely your job quests
How do I look at the MSQ tracker?
Battle Litany you probably won't be able to do the quest for immediately since the heavensward 50-60 job quests require you to be on heavensward msq
I'm sorry. I'm a noob
It's in the top left corner of your screen since you started the game
Ah it's wanting me to go to the next step of the main story. I thought you meant for the class in particular
Yes for the class in particular
Ah I see it now
if you notice there's a "way of the lancer" indicate below, thats where your job quests will usually appear
Under your main story tracker is another quest that pertains to your class/job or other quests required for MSQ progression, such as the Chocobo quest

Job quests. DO THEM.
On it. lol
Oh interesting. Different leveled mobs of the same type seem to have different drop rates (if not drop tables)
i need to be lv 80 for my other jobs to get their relics? :c
yes
For Shadowbringers yes
yikes
Do all of them
Do not do anything else until you've done them
Was trying to collect some Animal Hide at Lv 5 Opo-opos but only got Animal skins. Noticed there were a couple level 9 ones close by, and all they drop is galago mint and the animal hides I was looking for
thanks
What stats should I be putting into my samurai relic weapon during the refinement phase?
Crit and DH?
i forgot how to enter gangos

Through the doman enclave
!faq freetrial
@steep hare
Use the aetheryte to teleport there
whts the lvl 50 mnk rotation
@dire prawnwow you're the best thank you
where is it
When you teleport to The Doman Enclave on your teleport list, you should appear in front of an Aetheryte. Use that to get to Gangos.
ok thanks
No problem
Are there still A trains for ARR?
not really
when can you join the grand comapnies and do the mount quest stuff
is it story quest lvl 20 aroudn there
Yeah story level 20. Just after your first trial boss.
20 story quest
alright thank you
anyone knows where i can find the upcoming events in ffxiv like the ffxv collab and such
i still dont get it
does it at all matter WHERE you craft or can i just do it out in the wilds without missing out on any benefits?
is the aether compass in my inventory
its in the key items
the aether currents button?
oihhhhhh
but in the key items tab
you can drag it out onto a hotbar so you can just click on it
no need to keep clicking into inventory :D
So do I have to right click in order to auto attack? it seems that if I don't right click multiple times my character attacks really slowly
i obly need the bottom green currents right
it'll get faster when you have better gear
not the top like 4 yellow ones
you need them all
oh
top yellows are the quests
o so i cant even do those yet
can you decrease the time between casting skills as well?
yep
side quests or msq?
side quests that look like
