can some one tell me how the bloody hell do I set the ffxiv forums back to mobile format????
!faq mount
'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.
Does closing and reopening the tab from a new link not work?
nop
Yes
thats fucking awesome
cant wait to get my hands on one of those
bro... fuck wow.
wow doesnt have that
and that singular thing makes this game superior
/j
oh really
fuckc
i didnt play enough then
WoW does have plenty of mounts
for sure
but so does this game
ohhhh
if you want to look at collectable stuff
I do prefer the mounts from FFXIV, they're more unique
Welcome to Eorzea!
thank you!!!
sometimes though
i cant tell if its a player or an NPC
i sat in town yesterday and asked someone if theyre an npc
lol
is there a place where one can view job changes over patches
you can manually go through all the patch notes in https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/special/patchnote_log/
As for a site that shows all the changes at once, none that I know of.
You can change the colors of names in the character config

You can also change nameplate display settings there. For example, I'd recommend changing minion names to "only when targeted" or "off" because they can cause quite a lot of clutter
can some one tell me how the bloody hell do I set the ffxiv forums back to mobile format???? I’m trying really bloody hard to find that setting bit I can’t
quick question, no spoiler pls
hm I'm looking on my phone now
optional, after stormblood msq
is it a blue quest?
y
trials
Must have completed post-stormblood MSQ up to patch 4.2
well, no, trials
ok thxµ
!quest An Auspicious Encounter
Then the quest "
An Auspicious Encounter" will be available in the Ruby Sea
Soroban is about to present you with a proposition you would be a fool to refuse.
Soroban
The Ruby Sea (X: 5.71 Y: 15.83)
Bunchin
The Ruby Sea (X: 27.9 Y: 16.47)
Hope on the Waves
Tortoise in Time
okay!! thank you
It's unlocked from that sidequest after you clear Hell's Lid
ok thx
Begins the questline. You will go through one dungeon, one other trial and another dungeon before you reach the trial with Suzaku.
Jade Stoa follows that, then you get the Suzaku fight
Oh yeah Swallow's Compass precedes Suzaku
These require some MSQ progression to unlock as well
How do I make it to aleport? "Western la noscea"
If you've been there before and attuned to the aetheryte, you can just teleport there from the teleport list.
I'm new, level 19 ;P
If you're on the quest It's Probably Pirates, one of the quest steps takes you down to the docks by the Fishers' Guild
do you lose something if you die in bozja ?
there is a ferry there that will take you to Aleport
mettle
how many
Past rank 5, you lose a little mettle when you die and a lot if you respawn instead of being rezzed
depends on your rank I guess?
being rezzed still takes away mettle, but a lot less than if you respawn back to camp
this might be the wrong channel to ask, but for those who've played a lot of MMOs extensively at the endgame level, how hard is this 1.
in this context, I'm mostly asking how hard is the most challenging stuff available relative to other games. can a full group of people who know what they're doing first clear a new "endgame raid" within 2 days of raiding?
ucob took 11 days to clear when it released
FFXIV has a time honoured tradition of never spoiling what fights will be like before their release, so people never know what to really expect from them
With a scant handful of exceptions when Yoshi-P is showcasing an arena
The Epic of Alexander took 3 days, 21 hours, and 26 minutes from release, which is considered very impressive
have you found it? even if I’m on loadestone mobile format and click formum it sents me to the desktop version
What is the command to see a rotation of a job? (from kupo bot)
there's only one for blm
I saw yesterday one for SAM
i imagine it's just this
dont think so
not that I know of
Ah crap
not every job has such a command
And SMN?
!faq smncycle
Ok ty
However you can check out more detailed resources over on the balance, that's where those graphics usually come from anyway
!faq balance
Hmm I know SMN rotation, just wondered to see if there are other ways
or check out saltedxiv while the site is still up for a more fancy version of guides
There really only ever is one way of playing a job correctly
yes but no, smn does have 2 rotations
Maybe some slight variation which usually stems from different gcd timers
hello, i am bad at calculations and sorry for asking this
do you think this amount of materials can bring me from lv20 to lv40 alchemist?
but yes, usually there is right and wrong
What's a neat crafting class to learn ?
all of them
Yes you can eventually learn all of em,
they all work into each other so doing all of them at the same time is the most optimal way
just doing one is less efficient and will cost you more money in the long run
id reccommend weaver for glam
All at the same time ? OwO
I can’t bloody log in the forums now! Failed to confirm the session key.
Yes, it's overall faster and cheaper
it gives me that shit
im not sure if i can ask this here...
how to tell if a lalafell is male or female?🤔
Every crafting class pulls from each other
Having said that, "level them all at the same time" is far less important with ishgard crafts.
you can usually tell by the face/mouth, maybe it's easier for lala players
female lalas have longer eyelashes? i noticed some female lala npc have pink-ish lips, but the npc in eureka kinda confused me, i thought he was a she
yeah that too
Hi guys, I just purchased FF14, but It does not let me connect
Any issues with servers?
@green grail nope, very new, just finished to download the game
did you create a ffxiv account or what are you using to log in
well what errors are you getting?
are you on PC or ps4?
recommend turning off and on again and removing the ethernet cable?
or re-confirming the connection or whatever
best for #technology-discussion or contact square support at this point i'd say
@agile laurel thank you, but it seems the portal for the accounts registration is under maintainance, that's probably why I cannot access

if your character is on Cerberus, can you join a fc in another server like Spriggan? cause its the same datacentre?
Do you guys think a trailer showing skills will be sgown in the 14h broadcast?
No, you can't join a fc on a different server, in this case it would be cerberus
thanks for the answer :)
If I get into crafting, is the gear you can craft at end game viable for the highest tier of trials?
Yes
Crafted sets are usually the entry gear for a given raid tier (including trials)
Oh pog
yes, the best gear upon the release of a new raid tier is crafted
pentamelded exarchic gear was the gear of choice for world first raiders this tier
Word, so no reasons to not do crafting besides the time and gil sink
obviously the raids themselves (+ tomestones) drop better stuff
but nonetheless, crafted sets are a great entry point
Nice nice, thanks
crafting is entirely optional but worth it if you're interested in making big money
crafters who were selling sets of gear on day 1 of release were making millions and millions of gil due to the demand
Bird up
im trying to create a new character and is from singapore
may i know which server to pick for home world?
and will i be binded to it?
just thought of this but why is there a second slot underneath your selected dye in the item Dying meny?
some colours can be applied using 2 "different" dyes, one obtainable ingame, one through cash shop/recruit a friend
so they are still the same dye but there is 2 different items for it
ye, and if you have both you can use that ui to select which you want to use
okay
any JP one for low ping, tonberry and kujata have the biggest english speaking population
most of the game is cross-world so you do content with the whole datacenter, free companies (guilds) is basically the only thing server choice affects
how can i get 3 seals
use the card while in combat
draw a card ?
So I'm level 22 on the trial and so far I'm having a blast but I really want to do some dungeons just to see them but I'm not sure how or what needs to be done to get in
play, which gets replaced by the spear, or whatever you have currently drawn
the first dungeon unlocks during a level 15 MSQ
actually you'll unlock 3 dungeons pretty much back to back, just keep following the story
i have to use it formyself
on yourself (in combat) or a party member who's in combat
Okay thank you I think I out leveled the msq by exploring too much
ok thanks
Everything gives you so much experience
general advice: msq locks everything in this game
and it is usually enough to satisfy your xp needs
so just doing msq and nothing else is totally viable
give it a second when you enter combat btw
you use it the instant you enter combat the game might not have counted it as combat and you lose the potential seal
So msq and my class stuff
pretty much
yes that's pretty much it
oki
also
in general unlock stuff
some of it less important, some of it more important
Still, that icon should get your attention
Like could be a dungeon or a pet ?
exactly
but for the majority of them it's something more important like a new class, a dungeon or stuff you need to unlock flying for a zone
Or you know... look up the quest name, see what it leads to
I keep forgetting you can do that in game
Well, not always
Dungeons for example are usually not stated as quest rewards or anything.
Or sometimes it's a quest chain and the unlock is at the end. But all the quests leading there will still be 
thanks for the advise, is there a 3rd server for english speaking, tonberry n kuja are full, i cant create in them
no clue, you can try asking in #retired-jp-datacenters-eng
I have a friend who wants to play/try the game. I noticed there's a free trial. Does he need to buy the game and that just gives him a free sub/playtime or can he play for free for X amount of time
i am on the free trial too
it lets u play till lvl 60, unlimited time, with some content removed
no need to buy the game
and there is no time limit on it
It just stops at lvl 60, as in you can't gain any xp after that and you can't progress into Stormblood
The main reason why you would want to buy the game before that point are the restrictions the trial comes with. Like a cap on how much gil you can have and not being able to use the market board
You will probably be able to get into those servers as long as you create your character off peak
is free comapny a big deal before lvl 60?
seems trial players cant join free companies
correct, they can not
and it's mainly a social thing, so that may or may not be a big deal to you
trial players can't create parties but they can be invited to them
so as long as you are a regular sub it works
Okay cool.

anyone have a loot table for Zadnor? So I can farm some fragments
what should I do hhhhhhhhh, bard here
crit, direct hit, det in that order
sorry another noob question, so if my frd is on tonberry and im on kuja, we cant be in the same FC, but i can see him in game and do quest together?
heyy ^^ does anyone know how i can get the chocopukkor mount in germany?
I think the offer is US exclusive
Are you on the same data center?
do we get some event for it aswell? .. because i just found, that i could buy the code for it for 20euro or so else :/ and its listened as region free
i dont know if im going to miss it completely when i dont act now x.x
a little information of it on the lodestone would be great ... x.x
yo, hey everyone. I'm new to ff14 and rn I'm a level 26 glad. I'm second guessing on which server I should play on, right now I'm on Kujata cause I heard that's a pretty good server for Aussies although I've heard that it can be hard sometimes cause of the jp players (language difference) and I've actually heard that I can get better ping on NA servers
yes
so for example jp region has 3 data centers? crystal and elemental and ...
we need to be in the same data center?
My gear has these green circles underneath I assume I can put something in them what and how do I aquire that stuff
you can put materia into those slots, visit a materia medler or whatever they're called and do their quest to unlock materia
these are materia slots, so you can basically add some materia ^^ but in the leveling process, materia isnt that useful :/
@brittle cobalt google the ip of the data centers
Are they like stats ? Like gem slots in wow ?
And then ping it
And see which is best
Before you trust hearsay on that
Also iirc theres an oceania data center coming in the near future
There is one line on Lodestone where it says "It may be possible to obtain this item via other means in the future." but there's no info other than that. https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/topics/detail/168524b1d57f06ff00c415ba67f2d239a0e86702
buying the mount code off of someone will work, but would be considered RMT
@midnight tinsel thanks man
@proud willow would it though ?
it isnt spread ingame :/ its just on ebay some codesellers and so on
i dont think that it counts as rmt because you could have an friend in the usa who gets you the code x.x
does armory bonus works on bozja ?
Do i need to progress to the MSQ to get the lvl 80 tomestone gears?
or is it available for purchase if i just hit 80?
Yes
ahh i see
Finish shadowbringers
wtf am i looking at
Anima stat distribution
That interface is part of the Anima weapon quests, the Heavensward relic
ah... that looks... fun
masochism in another form
poetic sink
What does 3/3 reward mean? I only got 1 drop, which was the boots, not 3 pieces 😮
I did the anima to sink the poetics I’ve been getting from farming Praetorium for irregular tomes💡
It means you've already claimed the amount of loot
Which are auto given
allowed
oh
The Pratorium? You are a masochist
3 types of rewards
Coin(automatic)
Materia trade mats (automatic)
Amor piece (manual)
I see, thank you thank you
Lol
Is there an alternative to upgrade Cryptlurker gear other than 1 coin from Nier 3 per week?
Oh yeah, savage drops upgrade mats too
or buy em with tomes
Oh I see
You can't buy upgrades with tomes
you can then upgarde em with twine etc
Not until 6.0 and then it will be with poetics
Hunt trains, you get 480 nuts per train, 3000 nuts upgrade gear, 2000 per accessory
Hunt trains are insane
Also 240 allegory, 360 poetics, takes about 20 mins
Hunt trains are easy; the S-Ranks are hard… you literally have to drop everything to make it in time to a cross server s rank and Hope there isn’t congestion, Hope no early pullers
S-ranks generally taken down within 4 mins of announcing
Do we have any hats in the game similar to this?
3 mins often
At the moment yeah you can play with others on your data center, and if you interact with a city aetheryte you can visit other worlds on it too
I ask because I want to make an Onmyodo style character for my Caster and Healer classes
#glamour-discussion would probably know better cuz idk
!itemglam genta eboshi of healing
Formidable and Archaeotania are easy with hunt train link shells announcement. Have to be raised several times and takes 15 mins, but you don’t need to do much else.
What's the difference between selene and eos?
no difference, just cosmetic at this point
seriously? ._.
yes
what differences did it used to have though?
the sch quest outlines it, like selene was a buffer type iirc
selene had aoe esuna
so I can just take one off the hotbar no consequences
yep
ye choose which you like better
nice thanks
is there a guide for crafting levelling with the road to 70 buff?
Is it hard to level up a crafter? Newer to the game, not sure how the progression works for them
not hard, just tedious
why my armory bonus only gives 50% in bozja
Easiest way is to do daily grand company turn ins. Buy HQ from market board and turn it in. 5 mins a day, go up 1-2 levels a day, low effort
Though you get a decent exp bonus for first time crafting an item
so don't entirely brush aside the crafting list
It's 50% when you're 71+
thanks
Usually the grand company turn ins are at the top of your current crafting level, which make making it HQ difficult.
Also, you don’t have to buy intermediate crafting gear . I was a level 80 fisher before I ever fished, same with alchemist
When can I actually register?
when it begins. the NPC will have a quest-icon above their head
when it starts in 4 minutes^^
it's the same as ocean fishing tho? 😕
on the hour it unlocks the npc to start queue
I think I'm gonna change over to Lich. Should I make a new character or transfer my original one (he's lvl 26 rn)
iirc that was like 10 minutes prior
Definitely taking its sweet time and I'm seeing two people with similar name and look from the same FC hmm
if not enough people queue,
open tournaments, unlike ocean fishing, will have the open slots filled w/ NPCs
just a matter of time
Is there any reason to not join as many guilds as possible?
Nope
You can be every job if you want
Only inventory/armory/retainer/glamour dresser space.
As it says on the play-guide one cannot buy a fc house if another char on the same world is in a fc that owns a house,
I assume I'll have to leave the FC on the other character, and rejoin after buying the house on the character.
No
You can own a personal house while being in an FC that also owns a house.
You cannot.
I'm not refering to personal homes.
Items purchased on the Mogstation are non-transferrable.
Then I'm confused. What exactly are you trying to do?
should I play on light or primal? I'm an AUS player
Either/or, although Elemental (JP) is where you'll find more SEA/OCE players.
Alot of aus are on jp
one cannot buy a fc house if another char on the same world is in a fc that owns a house
trying to get clarification on this.
the guide on https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/playguide/contentsguide/housing_land/ says I'll be unable to buy a fc house if I have another character on the same world that is part of a fc that owns a house.
that's what I've been playing on so far but I've heard that there's still a large jp population there as well so I dunno
oh and how would one check their ping on ff14?
- Open CMD (Windows key + R, Type CMD and hit enter)
- Type: ping -n 20 [Datacenter ip address] without the brackets
- Press enter
PD: To check your Datacenter IP adress go to https://arrstatus.com/
Ah, yes. It would appear that you cannot purchase a house for an FC if you have another character on the same server who is in an FC that owns a house.
so I would leave the FC, buy the plot & house on the other char, then rejoin, right?
Yes, in theory that should work.
I saw an article mentioning a "reaper" class for the new xpac, this appeals to the edge lord in me where can I find more info
There isn't much on it outside of titbits from interviews
The trailer is on the 14 YouTube
Basically all we know right now is that their weapons is scythe, they share gear with DRG, and they'll have a mechanic involving a void avatar.
hey is it alright if someone could get the light ip for me? I can't see it on arrstatus
List of IP Addresses for each Datacenter
North America

Primal: 204.2.229.10
Crystal: 204.2.229.11

how do I ping the IP?
Windows: Open Command Prompt and type ping *insert IP Address here*
Mac: Open Terminal and type ping *insert IP Address here*
Hmm any pre req's?
Be 70 and own endwalker
oh thanks man
Will start in uldah
Nice I'm going to watch the trailer and buy some eye shadow
Getting this phoenix card is going to suck..
if i transfer my main character from a standard world to a preffered world, do i get the road to 70 buff? or is that something you can only get by making a new character on a preffered world.
aight
So I've been playing ffxiv more or less like a singleplayer jrpg. Now in order to do The Converging Light I need 460 ilvl and I am at 421 . Do I need to just grind dungeons for a while or is there a quicker way ?
Do the Eden and nier raids for gear while buying gear with allegory tomes
Alternatively by high quality exarchic off the market board
I'm scouring everywhere for a draft guide but I'm hopeless
Everything is about the big tournament

Are there any open tournament guides?
not really, it's the same as normal triple triad pretty much
When do things like faction dailies reset? Is it a 24 hour timer, or a set time each day?
!daily
!reset
1 hour, 21 minutes, 9 seconds
6 hours, 21 minutes, 9 seconds
4 days, 18 hours, 21 minutes, 9 seconds
18 hours, 21 minutes, 9 seconds
2 days, 12 hours, 21 minutes, 9 seconds

1 day, 23 hours, 21 minutes, 9 seconds
4 days, 1 hour, 21 minutes, 9 seconds
161 days, 18 hours, 21 minutes, 9 seconds
i got this amout of mettle but it didn't count with my mettle Why ?
Some people finish their dailies just before reset.
Thanks folks 🙂
Did you die?
What do you mean it didn't count?
hellos,i am new to the game, is there anyone who can tell me how to play arcanist better? i am level 12 at the moment
Weskalber has levelling rotations in video form
With the draft rule
at that level all you really gotta do is keep up your dots and spam ruin
Dots up, spam ruin, have pet out
the reason i ask is because i keep dying when theres more than 1 or 2 enemies
Keep your gear up to date
i do
i didn't understand this skill
it will extend the galvanize effect like refresh the shield or what
It's spreads a copy of the shield to party members
makes your ST shield AoE
Including duration
if your target has the effect it will spread it to party members nearby
specifically copy it
or maybe theres a better class for me to play as a beginner? i was told it was one of the best
no, Arcanist is fine
i see
If you're dying to a single enemy then your gear Is low or you're not keeping your gcd rolling
so if im the only one have it and use this skill
all people around me will get it too ?
gcd?
Yes
If you target yourself with it
Global Cooldown, aka your spells
i see
i always have my emeral carbuncle out but the enemies usually decide to attack me instead
Pets can't tank
lol
i heard there was a tank pet later in the arcanist path
nope there isn't a tank pet
there is a more defensive oriented pet but it's not a tank
i see
Topaz used to be a tank pet but it couldn't tank for shit
The Titan egi used to function somewhat like that, but they got reworked
Now it just gives you a 20% hp shield
should i just do the leves or whatever side quests for gil and then buy better gear or something?
I see the Ifrit egi get used a lot
thats what i was doing
job quests, so there is more things to do at the guild?
now i know
They give you gear and skills
they also help ya get a feel for everything thats in a town
And eventually your job upgrade
check your MSQ tracker every 5 levels, under the main quest there'll be your job/other important quests
MSQ? im sorry i don't know that just yet
Story
main story quest
oh
guildhests are relativly good in early levels
Not really
go ahead and ask
guildhests? so guild quests?
they allow you to get a quick feel for your class in a team
i see
Guildhests are glorified outdated tutorials
nah, guildhests suck
Yeah no
no xp
They're pretty bad
you exp and stuff though
simply for people trying to farm comms for their burger king crown
lol
They're not as bad as Frontline
Frontline is fun sometimes
in the duty dailies
what planet are you on? frontlines is like the second largest xp gain
Frontline gives alot of xp
Frontlines is pain
Guildhests literally give you the less amount of xp out of every single roulettes
By far
then again I'm Immortal Flames so that says enough lol
That doesn't matter
we went through a period where we'd always get owned
you have to play frontlines to know that, however 
Or you know, read patch notes
who even does that?!
Strange thing I know
speaking of pvp, do we know when s19 ends and s20 begins?
it's preseason now
What's the oldest trial/raid with a checkpoint?
O4s
... Isn't Ifrit at Lv. 20?
That's doesn't have a checkpoint
Some of the Alexander raid are like mini dungeons
how to level up my dps jobs from 60 to 70
||no one plays HoH anymore idk why||
So they do kinda have checkpoints
But not the same way as boss checkpoint introduced with o4s
I guess if you count Faust as a checkpoint but those are two different fight arenas
!faq altlvlguide
cant spam the last dungeon its a long que
Isn't Ifrit at Lv. 20?
Wait Klad what are you trying to do?
leveling my dps jobs that are from 60 range to 70
Oof. Good luck with that.
i dont have luck anymore
Reset’s in 46 minutes
Daily roulettes reset in 46 minutes if you wanna drag some people into the dungeons with you.
Or if you have a Youtube backlog, do MSQ roulette and pray you get Praetorium.
msq roulette is hell
yes, Bowl of Embers (Normal) is Lv. 20, correct.
Only if you sit around and do jack shit. Or not have something in the background.
nah we enjoy the cutscenes
exacly but not me

Watch the Praetorium cutscenes, speak in sync w/ gaius
makes them better
:3
The pre-order earrings are delivered now-ish, and not at EW release, right?
not that it matters to me considering I have them all at 80
sighs in most of my classes levelled partially thanks to Praetorium roulette runs.
delivered after you bough it
so yes
thank you <3
you have to apply a code iirc
I mean you'll have them when you need to level Reaper and Sage so-- :D
It is until all the people who don't know how the fuck to heal play Sage and make DF feel abysmal
why you should get 10/10/10 in zadnor
I do wonder, Lv. 99 to keep w/ other FFs,
or Lv. 100 to make it a nice flat number.
Not gonna lie, if they were gonna cap off at 99, this'd be the expansion to do it.
Given its the... you know, finale of the game's overarching story.
post-game to get to 99 :^)
prepare yourself game ends after 3 years 
It wont
If they go in keeping with other Asian games, there won't be a cap to levels. It'll just keep increasing until the game ends.
We could easily end up with max level being 200+ by that point.
they could just do the big squish
Not gonna lie, I'll be amazed if the crafting classes don't end off at 99. If anything, it'd make the most sense for them to be capped off at such a number since they're just tradeskills.
There's not really a good way to do that, with the MSQ being the requirement that it is. Damage/HP numbers, sure, but levels not so much.
The only reason WoW could do a major level squish is because their system isn't story-centric. You can skip literally entire expansions-worth of content and still know what's going on over there. In XIV, that's not an option.
HW cap could be 55, SB 60, ShB 65, EW 70 in the future. For example, obviously, just pointing that it's doable
not really, no
It's not though. That's what I'm trying to explain.
that wouldn’t work with how the story is paced.
nothing changes in pacing except xp rewards
truthfully not the place to really discuss it anyway
If they cut the number of levels, they'd have to change a whole lot of things, including what level various instances are accessible at, ilevels that are eligible for content, and so on.
yeah agreed
since its a what if discussion on something that's not likely to be happening anytime soon
True
for entiry subs i have to wait until its finished ti renew ?
if no how to renew it
it will renew itself.??
in TEA, for limit cut, what decides CC’s dash direction? sometimes it doesnt dash backwards ><
Yes, it automatically deducts the money from your account every month. If you cancel manually, you can still pay until the time of your next payment, when your sub ends
He spawns behind the odd number person then Dashes to the next even number person
On mogstation if it says "recurring" under the service account status, it will automatically renew when your current time is up
Does anyone know the order of the cinematics for this game? I've finished ARR and I think I'm on the bit in the middle, but I just like watching trailers and stuff before starting a DLC
What do you mean "order of cinematics"?
Arr > heavensward > stormblood > shadowbringers
I meant the cinematics on youtube, not the dialogue cutscenes ofc
There's one per expansion.
so if CC doesnt dash backwards at even numbers, the only explanation is those evens stood in front of the odds?
My bad, thanks
Just 1 cinematic trailer per expansion
Well there is 2 in arr
If he's not dashing where you want then the even numbers are out of position
But it takes place at the same time as the first one

You might have been thinking of the teaser trailers, which there have traditionally been two of leading up to the final full trailer. But those are basically the full trailer, but cut as shorter trailers to build hype. The full trailer has the same footage + all the stuff they were hiding.
Ohhhh yeah that's probably what it was
hmm, when is it safe for evens to move? as CC appears behind odds? or earlier?
Once he dashes
Hi i was considering to the complete edition but realize that the sale is over,so i want to ask if the sale of the complete edition come often?
Not supeeeeer often
There's not really a schedule to sales. They happen when they happen.
If they have another one this year, it will most likely be in October.
I kinda doubt there will be another round of sales prior to the expansion but we'll see
i see thank you
is there a cooldown for duel spawn? 
Hi everyone! Can someone tell me what these glowing orbs are for? I've seen a few of them now and just wondering if they're just part of the scenery or not.
1 hour
yikes
Sightseeing logs
They're sightseeing points.
Most of them are /lookout
Stand on them and do appropriate emotes (usually /lookout)
Oh okay, thank you all!!
uhm so i bought the shadowbringers dlc
why can i not activate the code
i'm on the free trial
Do you own the game?
Do you own the base game?
You need the Starter Edition as well.
You can't use dlc for a game you don't own
you get 2 dlcs for free
That's not ownership
so the starter edition is the base game
yes
gotchu
When using skills with positional, for the bonus eff, you need to be at the flank/rear BEFORE you press the skills right ?
Yes
Yo quick question guys, im just about caught up with 5.5, and just wondering how i go about levelling other jobs, heard doing PotD is the best, but how do i go about finding groups for that or whatever, cheers
Once you press the button and the gcd starts rolling, damage and positional damage is checked
what's the average raid size for this game?
8
8 for high end raids
It's always 8
wow that's really cool
24man are casual content
I love smaller raid groups
!faq altlvlguide
@modest igloo cheers brother
Someone be a dear and remind me: What's being affected by the stat squish again? The increase of power per level dropping, damage numbers going down a chunk, overall values and such going down... anything else? Something about it being 'easier' to level or something too?
Basically everything 50-80..
Damage, hp, exp etc
Everything.
For us and enemies
That's why they can pass it through an algorithm rather than needing to manually tweak it
Amount of aggro number generated so it doesn't overflow
Overlfow then reset to 0. :D
It happened
And there's even been overflow for damage when someone has Shields for more than thheir HP
I read somewhere that you should be able to collect materials and give them to your grand company
They get hit twice and die
where can I see the list of items?
You need to rank up enough to unlock the ability to turn stuff in
oh
I haven't done anything so I probably can't see it yet
what's the best way to rank up?
Do your grand company hunting log and levelling roulette for seals
Arr fates give some seals
Does anyone have a list of essences and drop locations
^ I would like this too, I need to stockpile for RPR.
@faint flaredo the seals help me rank up?
You rank up by giving your GC seals
ooh
At least until you reach the lieutenant ranks
can i use an eu code on na acc?
If your mogstation says you're NA then no

Hey guys
I’m trying to unlock master book 1 and 2 for culinary
How do I unlock the recipe for rich tomato relish
get book 1 for the needed recipe for book 2
how much does sun of valor increase damage?
3%
is heavensward included in starter edition or shadowbringers expansion
Starter
or do i have to buy the complete edition
Trial, technically, but also the starter
aight
you don’t need to buy the starter to play hw
i bought shadowbringers
Just need starter if you already got shadowbringers
aight
More GC seals, more things to buy, prove your superiority to others
one of the easiest ways to get glamour prisms is to buy them via GC seals
More items, access to daily company turn ins for crafting and gathering , access to Turning in gear for seals, access to squadrons
squadrons
Which are basically more customizable trusts, and also stupid busted for low level dungeons
*once you level them and their stances
out of curiousity, how do you know valor increases by 3%?
so people keep saying msq roulette is the best for poetics but like
is there any point in running them after you claim the daily bonus
no
dude why is this Shock and Awe quest so hard out of no where? i swear ive had such an easy time with the game and now these normal enemies are killing me so fast. i dont know what i did wrong
roulettes are only ever worth it for the daily bonus
are there any other sources
I get a message saying "Unable to obtain character data". Anyone know what's wrong?
Most likely your gear is outdated. What's your average ilvl?
Alot of people testing
most of my gear is 50 but i have a couple 47s and such
ngl kinda a new player so i didnt know what that meant
Your gear is shit, go by ironworks in mor Dhona/main cities sundry splendors
Especially a weapon
Still, you are in post ARR quests right now and since everything happens at the same character level (50 in your case) gear has its own distinction
You can check the ilvl of a given piece of gear by hoevering over it
!faq poetics
For example at the end of the 2.0 msq you are probably around ilvl 50 while ARR has items up to ilvl 130
So do what Vinyl said and spend some poetics on ironworks stuff
Do your lvl 50 jobquest and open The coffer you get as a reward
that too, but ironworks is still way better
Possibly server traffic prevented loading your character appearance at the login screen. In many cases of this you can still log on just fine by clicking on character name, it just affects the appearance of the login screen
forgive me, but where even is the iron works in Ul'dah?
if you walk out of the room the big aetheryte is in just to your left

Can anyone provide password help? The launcher won't accept my user ID/pass combo ever since I started using one-time password. Mogstation works fine.
did you also put in your one-time pw in the launcher?
If my subscription runs out, can I still log in with characters under lvl 60? Or can I just not play at all?
LOL
complaining about stuff helps I guess 🤷
it REALLY does. At work too :p
You can't go back to the free trial
so no
:(, Ok, thanks for letting me know
Kind of motivates me to hold off on buying out of the free trial..
I did that. It's not a bad idea at all if you don't mind just leveling everything up to 60
I could, technically, just level a bunch of different classes to lvl 60 before activating my first game time right?
yup
okay guys im trying out my new gear, wish me luck lmao
In general what are you supposed to sell on youe inventory ? Is it those miscellany items ?
I’m not really sure what you mean. If you want to know what sells well on the marketboard then you’ll have to do most of your price checking yourself.
Item categories aren’t that useful as information so you’ll have to clarify what specifically you mean by miscellany items
just cosmetics
thanks
Ahh well, as a trial player i cant really use the board so its really just towards the npc vendor
As a free trial player there’s not much you can do.
As a trial player your gil is capped at 300k and you can't get anything decent for that little coin anyways
Quest rewards will get you to the gil cap quickly
Alright then, thanks a buncy
Can F2P players hire a retainer or am I misremembering things
No
Ah.
Why arent "Haunting Memories of Dying" dropping after each FATE? is the RNG low or something?
!faq freetrial
That step is rng

T^T I bare have 5
am i not able to get to ishgard while level 55? i keep doing these "main story" missions but they seem to never end and they keep giving me the same kinda blue gear. i cant tell if im not doing the right thing or if this is just bad game design
You need to do story to get thrre
Continue the main story.
Your level means nothing
We're not kidding when we say story locks literally everything
You can’t reach [insert area] until the plot allows you to
There's no point in rushing levels
but like for the quests to get there why am i just getting the same tier of rings and braclets over and over again
You don’t get any repeat gear
You get all the different pieces of gear needed to equip one or two jobs
also generally you're getting higher ilvl accessories/gear during post msq
even if its all blue
the darklight gear given at the start of post ARR isn't the same item level as the later accessories given
Typically one quest offers gear for the physical jobs then the next gives gear for the magic jobs

When do I get the white mage/dragoon job quests? I’ve got both at level 30. Is there an MSQ requirement too?
Unless you have ironworks you’re mistaken.
!faq job
To unlock your class' job you need to be level 30, complete all of your class quests and the main scenario quest 'Sylph Management' (lvl 20 quest) to be able to pick up your job unlock quest. Once you've done the initial unlock quest, you will be given a soul crystal which you must equip to become your class' job.
maybe im just thinking about it too much but its getting to the point where it feels like im doing something wrong
You may be picking the wrong accessories for your role.
Thanks
nothing is red when i hover
That’s not what matters
you're in the post-arr quests which is typically considered to be the slowest part of the game
Accessories aren't role locked until 60+
im a sam rn
If you're a say, a Dragoon and have equipped something with Intelligence on it then you have the wrong geae
Samurai wants gear with strength of it and nothing else
Otherwise it's useless to you
basically focus on gear that has "striking" in the name
every time i look it up it says to go for crit lol
Crit is a substats and you don't care for substats until 80
That’s a sub stat and only matters as a choice at level 80
your main stat (strength) is more important
Strength is your main stat
Weapon damage >>>>>> main stat (strength) >>>>>>>>>>>> substats like crit
If it doesn't have strength on it then it's literally useless to you
You want the gear with the most strength
okay that makes sense, i have a lot of strength on my gear but i havent been looking for that. that will change
Which will also be the highest item level gear with strength
Like Kael said, gear you want will have "Of Striking/Slaying " in its name
Mostly it will, not always
Like 99% it says striking/Slaying
Like the soldiery gear you get from quests around there doesn’t
yeah some of my gear is "of casting" and shit like that so ill change that
Yeah that's literally giving you nothing
Yeah that gear is offering you basically nothing
thats so sad
You're basically have nothing in that slot
feels bad man
The recommended gear button on the character window will mostly be correct
didnt even know that button existed until then
What can i spend my Poetics on these days that makes sense?
!faq poetics
I usually go for anima weapons
if im playing 1 character only, is there any reason why i should get Standard subscription over entry? (i dont know if u get veteran rewards with entry).
not really, vet rewards also apply with entry
Oh nice, looks like ill be getting entry then.
No
weird
I assume getting it at 30 and it not doing anything for 4 levels is a relic of pruning
hello friends, are there any cool mods I could install to improve textures/graphics quality?
So if I comeplete this roulette I will get 7105 XP, 6000 Gil and 2058 seals? If I do it as a Tank I'll get extra XP, Gil and another 411 seals?
No
Other way around
You'll get 7k xp if you're a tank
Any job will get the daily bonus of gil. Xp and 400 seals
how big of a difference does a high item level make when running synced content?
Daily roulette bonus is above the adventure in need line
Not much cause you're synced down to a specific ilvl
if i buy a subscription for a month just to try out some of the locked features i lack as a trial account, what happens when it expires? do i revert to a trial account or am i just like, locked out of the game, or?
cool so i just suck butt then
So I'll only get 411 Seals by doing the routlette?
Locked out
damn
having a hard time even keeping up with tanks tbh
ugh i really want to use /tell and have friends and join free companies but i do not know if I'm gonna be into this game long term or not
thanks for the info, tho
will it ever be available again?
hey does anyone know how to add a friend if hes from a diffrent server?
!faq serverlock
Standard, Preferred, and New Servers will dynamically open and close themselves from newly created characters depending on how many players are online. To ensure you're able to make a new character on your server try waiting or doing so at a less active time of day.
Congested Servers will not unlock for new players or transfers until Square Enix removes the Congested Status.
does it usually take long
Visit their server via world visit
It'd based on people online
So
Other party stuff hasnt been this drastic thankfully (that's why I was wondering if ilvl makes a difference) but I have no idea what I'm doing wrong
Black mage doesn't have it's big stuff until later levels
You're just freeze spamming at qarns level
Is there a way to track the hunting log so I don't have to keep the window open?
It tells you the progress for that mob when you kill them
And they have a mark on their head
Oh, Freeze. That reminds me I totally forgot the job quest at 35 oops.
There's one thing I'm able to remedy ASAP, at least
This mark?
Yep
if i have an account since before, can i use that on steam? if i choose to go by steam, do i skip their launcher? do i not have to go thru they create acount system?
the last few days I have been getting this error anyone knows how to fix this
If you brought on non steam you can't use steam
If you buy on steam you MUST use steam
thanks, which preset would you recommend btw?
Whatever you want, I don't use it
hey so i tried to transfer to a diffrent homeworld but it doesn't let me select my current character for transfer
Do I still need Blizzard 2 once I have Freeze?

Your gut speaks truthfully. Then again, even I am unaware of what Blizzard 2 is even for.
Magical Melee DPS, clearly
But thats why we have Red Mage...
And spamming in town
Ah.
While leveling, how often should I update my gear?
It really wasn't much of an issue through ARR and HW, but I'm starting to feel like I might be hitting unadvertised ilvl walls in SB.
The story and job quests give you the bare minimum
You can spend poetics at each old level cap for the best gear for that period that lasts you 5 levels
That's what I needed to hear, thanks. I'm only at the beginning of SB, so the MSQ rewards are worse than the 60 poetic gear I'm wearing, but my actual level is 65 RDM/67 GNB, and I was having a lot of trouble on the latest RDM class quest.
At lv 36 BLM, when I get a thundercloud proc, should I use it on T1 or T2?
2 foe aoe
So, I'll either save it until I get further into the MSQ, or just drop 100K on gear to hold me over until 70 poetics.
1 for single targrt
Ohh so same logic as without the proc, got it
I got to Heavensward yesterday and was able to obtain MCH. Now Im 35 and wondering how to level it to 50 again and continue the msq?

is there a guide to cleaning out your armory chest
because I'm not sure how to deal with having pieces I'm not sure if I want to keep for glam or not
someone mentioned before turning them into your GC
You can basically get everything back so do whatever with it
okay then
it's mostly HW dungeon gear so
esp from Gubal and Vault
I do have some Aery pieces too
aghhhhh glam items is tough
Toss glamour stuff into the glamour dresser
it's about 200+/400 and I haven't reached ShB what if there's more pieces
Then just remove the stuff you like less
toss glamour stuff into glamour dresser
but
remember that you have a limit
so dont toss everything in there
i kind of wish we didnt have a limit and they'd give us more glamour dresser space
ugh
I think I'll take the time to sort through my armory chest one way or another
I still have some Ironworks pieces I got attached too arghhhh
maybe well get more space in endwalker
don't think so
player base has been asking for more and im about to hit my cap
then again it might break the game
;_;
If you dye a piece of gear before you put it in the dresser, it retains that color
You can also dye things that are attached to glam plates
Yes but if you remove that item, it goes back to it's original color
I know but the issue is that
No I mean like
what ame said
Not the actually glam plate
But obv if that's if you plan on keeping it in there
Just pray we have more space in Endwalker
I might have to buy a 4th retainer to hold all these glams

Means you can sell more things on Marketboard, I'd call that a win lol


I come from WoW. How does transmog farming and transmogs work in general? Is there a solid way to work towards "collecting them all"?
is there a way to get notified of when the endwalker collectors box is available for pre-order again?
!faq glamour
'What is Glamour and how do I unlock it?'
Glamour is the process of changing an equipment's look into a different item with the use of Glamour Prisms. You can unlock the ability to glamour by doing the level 15 quests 'If I Had a Glamour' in Vesper Bay, West Thanalan. Although not required, you can unlock the ability to dye gear with the nearby quest 'Color Your World'. You can get the Orange Juice needed by talking to the nearby Merchant & Mender. Items used for glamouring are not lost upon use.
'How do I glamour? Where do I get more Prisms?'
Glamouring is done by right-clicking (Square or X on controllers) on the equipment you want to glamour and choosing the option 'Cast Glamour'. After clicking this you choose the item you want the appearance on the right half of the menu that opened up. You can get more Glamour Prisms by either crafting them after completing the quest 'Absolutely Glamourous', buying them from your Grand Company Quartermaster, or buying them from the marketboard.
i have 20 silver choco feathers,, should i spend them on anything? :o
