where can i buy an unaugmented version of a ring

modest igloo
#

for non ShB poetic gear, you cant but its not unique anymore

outer plank
#

like the 390 scaven ring since i cant equip a 400 aug scaven

modest igloo
#

those shouldnt be unique iirc

outer plank
#

oh you right

modest igloo
#

yeah that got changed a few patchs ago

Is there a good way to pick a server, or does it not really matter if you don't know anyone that's already playing? Like, are any more pvp focused or RP focused or raiding etc?

faint flare
#

It doesn't matter

#

Long answer

#

!faq worldpick

zinc orbitBOT
#
Which world should I pick?

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

hello can anybody help me and my friend try the game , we need some1 to make us a party so we can play together

faint flare
#

Ask people in limsa via say

leaden ginkgo
#

i am getting ignored

#

for 30 min now

faint flare
#

Well most of us can't really help

#

It's not

#

And shouldnt be recommended to anyone

#

Read the bottom of the faq above

#

The big bold words

alpine shadow
#

here is a server guide: choose a dc based on your location, and then select the preferred world

celest snow
#

how do you get the food you need to change the color of the chocobo and is it expensive or hard?

leaden ginkgo
#

I'm playing with PC, and I'm having a really hard time walking on narrow paths. For example, I never cleared Dohn Mheg's path before, and Ex Ruby's walking on that narrow path thing is extremely difficult. Does anyone have any suggestions?

rigid dove
#

Zoom in during those phases is most likely the only thing you can do except "git gud".

faint flare
#

Rotate your camera and walk with just W

leaden ginkgo
#

I try to rotate my camera by using A and D, but it rotates too much. Can I do something with the setting to rotate only slightly?

faint flare
#

Your mouse

#

With holding right click

leaden ginkgo
#

Is that the only way? I'm not used to rotating the screen with mouse and walking

leaden ginkgo
#

Dohn Mheg is maybe fine with that, but with Ruby, the timing is so short that when I try to rotate the screen, the red thing drops

#

Also, the path is so narrow that it's really hard to see where I'm walking

faint flare
#

Strafe while moving for ruby

leaden ginkgo
#

what do you mean by strafe?

faint flare
#

Move left/right

leaden ginkgo
#

So in Ruby, should I just move forward while moving left/right instead of trying to rotate the screen?

faint flare
#

Yes

small nova
#

Do I have to set up the OTP stuff before I can even download the game in the launcher? ...

faint flare
#

Plus as long as you're not in the sand for a long time it doesn't mstter

faint flare
#

Leave it blank

leaden ginkgo
#

I usually get stuck in sand and try to escape but die because I can't see where I'm walking

faint flare
#

Rotate your camera to look Down on the ground

small nova
#

erm ... what?

modest igloo
small nova
#

I don't have internet explorer

leaden ginkgo
#

Anyway, does anyone have any suggestions on the place that I can practice walking? The walking part is the only part that I'm stuck with Ruby Ex, but it only happens once per run so it's hard to practice multiple times

modest igloo
#

that's what it uses to check updates

faint flare
#

Doesn't matter, update Internet Explorer

leaden ginkgo
faint flare
#

!faq quicklauncher

zinc orbitBOT
faint flare
#

Alternatively

leaden ginkgo
#

I'm hoping to look for some zig zag paths in the game that I can use to practice my walking. I've used trust system in dohn mheg, but 1-2 practice/30min is not worth my time

small nova
#

Thanks Vinyl, that's working

native pollen
#

how long does it take for Make It Rain to respawn? it expired in front of me

sleek spoke
#

cant remember if i asked this b4 sry, but am i supposed to not play arcanist anymore after unlocking scholar?

cunning loom
#

you technically could, just take out your job's soul crystal

sleek spoke
#

yeah i know but is it ‘allowed’? lol

cunning loom
#

but you'd have practically no skills since you learn almost nothing else after 30

remote lintel
#

there's no reason to play the class

sleek spoke
#

so it wouldnt be viable to play even just as dps?

remote lintel
#

no

#

because you would have summoner

cunning loom
#

well what's the reason behind not wanting to add it

remote lintel
#

which is better

sleek spoke
#

cos now im doing scholar and enjoying it as healer

#

should i do summoner?

cunning loom
#

you'd need to do scholar as a healer

remote lintel
#

you can unlock it

sleek spoke
#

i have both

cunning loom
#

arcanist/summoner don't have enough healing potential to work as a healer

sleek spoke
#

i mean i have smn acn schl

#

but which one should i b doing as lvl50

remote lintel
#

then if you want to do DPS you can just play summoner

#

and not arcanist

cunning loom
#

if you want to be a dps, there's no reason not to be a summoner over an arcanist

sleek spoke
#

so summoner for dps, scholar for healer?

cunning loom
#

yes

remote lintel
#

yes

sleek spoke
#

and never arcanist?

cunning loom
#

no reason for it

remote lintel
#

you don't need arcanist

#

for anything

cunning loom
#

arcanist is literally summoner but with less skills

sleek spoke
#

ok this is super confusing, i havent seen this type of class system before in any other gamw but now i get it ty

#

game*

faint flare
#

Arcanist is a shitty summoner without 99% of its kit

sleek spoke
#

and this is for all classes?

faint flare
#

Yes

remote lintel
#

yes

#

it's like picking Pikachu over Raichu

cunning loom
#

arcanist is unique in that you can become a summoner AND scholar

faint flare
#

Classes are baby, shitty versions of their job

cunning loom
#

but unlocking the true job at level 30 goes for every other job

#

CNJ --> white mage, etc

sleek spoke
#

class =\ job

#

theyre different?

faint flare
#

If you're a class in any like 40+ content you will be kicked so fast

sleek spoke
#

ahh

remote lintel
#

a class is a base class, a job is the upgrade

faint flare
#

Class = baby version of its job

sleek spoke
#

i did that a couple times unknowingly but didnt get kicked lmao

native pollen
sleek spoke
#

ok

remote lintel
#

samurai is the job

native pollen
#

wait a sam does have a soul

remote lintel
#

yes

cunning loom
#

yes SAM has a soul

midnight tinsel
#

@sleek spoke what iirc hasnt been said is that summoner and scholar share levels

#

so they are always on the same level

#

which makes them easy to raise

#

its the only job that works like that

sleek spoke
#

ok thats cool

modest igloo
#

starting on SMN/SCH can be complex so thats understandable

midnight tinsel
#

so you can easily swap back and forth

#

just do both class quests

sleek spoke
#

i feel like imlearning smth new on this game all the time and i barely know anything lol

midnight tinsel
#

yeah

cunning loom
#

it just takes some time

midnight tinsel
#

but tbh thats the same for every game xD

cunning loom
#

everyone starts off like that

ionic linden
#

i can get dupe items i already have from dungeon? like if i kill the last boss and get random item for me, if ill do it again and again eventually ill get all the set?

remote lintel
#

the item you get from completing the dungeon will never be a duplicate

ionic linden
#

so i can get the full set eventually right?

remote lintel
#

yes for leveling dungeons

leaden ginkgo
#

And levelling dungeons automatically give you a piece of equipment relevant to your class, thus tkaing you like- 11 runs to get a full set, less if you're lucky with chest drops.

copper basin
#

hey guys is there a lfg channel here? need desperate help on chaos

jovial quarry
#

Yes. Dungeon drops can't be dupes. Run it enough times and you will get a full set.

remote lintel

copper basin
#

can there be something wrong with the in-game group finder? im searching for story-leviathan for 2 days now and never getting any player

#

other dungeons seem to work neither

remote lintel
#

did you tick all languages in the duty finder settings

copper basin
#

well no

remote lintel
#

and what is the name of the duty specifically

copper basin
#

how can i add languages?

remote lintel
#

click the cog at the top of duty finder

boreal storm
#

If it’s story Levi, The whorleater (hard)

copper basin
#

only have german name "götterdämmerung leviathan"

#

@boreal storm yes

remote lintel
#

just making sure it wasnt extreme

copper basin
#

im just wondering ... haadnt any problems finding a group so far. now im not even getting a group for "random" searches

autumn hedge
#

Is the only way to deconstruct stuff accessed by the goldsmith's guild?

remote lintel
#

desynth depends on the item

boreal storm
#

If it’s made by goldsmiths

tiny maple
#

whats this???

#

im downloaded the free trial client from steam

remote lintel
#

are you sure it says free trial

tiny maple
#

whats a registration code and how do i get one

#

yeah

remote lintel
#

then close and open the launcher until it lets you in

autumn hedge
tiny maple
autumn hedge
#

Like armor for instance

remote lintel
#

you use an armorer

#

or a blacksmith

#

or a leatherworker if its leather armor

#

or a weaver if its cloth armor

boreal storm
#

Carpenter for wood

ripe hound
#

Cultarian for... is there anything CUL desynth?

boreal storm
#

Fish

sleek spoke
#

is there any point in completing the hunting logs for arcanist as a scholar/summoner

ripe hound
#

Oh right

remote lintel
#

@sleek spoke you get a ring

#

thats it

ripe hound
sleek spoke
#

hmm ok so i should complete class hunting logs when under lvl 30 to actually benefit from them?

cunning loom
#

completionist achievement hunting

autumn hedge
#

I can desynth stuff with my weaver?

cunning loom
#

yes

#

the hunting log is ez exp

sleek spoke
#

i did it until like 3

#

ok

cunning loom
#

finishing a class's hunting log gives you a ring

autumn hedge
faint flare
#

Primarily good early level

remote lintel
#

if its cloth armor

#

right click > desynth?

faint flare
#

You need Lv30 in that respective crafter

#

To desynth their items

autumn hedge
#

I'm lvl 44 weaver and I don't see the option? It's something I made myself

cunning loom
#

look at the bottom text of the item and see if it can be desynthed

#

make sure you've also done the quest in ul'dah

autumn hedge
#

I've done all the job quests up until 40

cunning loom
#

it isn't a job quest

celest coral
#

For level-up purposes, when should I stop doing MSQ roulettes?

#

Roughly 55-60'ish?

autumn hedge
#

Alright found the quest.

#

Thanks

cunning loom

you... don't

boreal storm

Prae roulette gives stupid exp

whats a one time passwort???

can augmented relic armor fit in the armoire?

celest coral

#

can we set a louder alarm for when duties pop up ?

?

worldly eagle
#

@tiny maple you don't need one, but you can set one up for better security

astral bolt
worldly eagle
#

no?

sleek spoke
#

do the fetch quests get less overtime? im still at msq level25 Tea for Three and i know the msq is super long but most of the quests are a pain, more so than other mmos, its literally 90% just ‘talk to..’ then you travel to talk to said guy and you have to go talk to someone else etc
I am enjoying the story i guess and seeing it as a visual novel but it is getting pretty tedious >.<
besides that i do dungeons and guildhests

worldly eagle
#

I don't have one and I still log in

tiny maple
#

thx

warm snow
#

Relic armor can go in the glamour dresser

worldly eagle
#

@sleek spoke it doesn't get better at least for Realm Reborn, just yesterday I spent 3 hours doing fetch quests for the titan trial

faint flare
#

Titan trial period is a big slow down

cunning loom
#

yeah arr content can be a slog sometimes

astral bolt
sleek spoke
#

how long until i finish arr and are the rest of the expansions better

cunning loom
#

a while and yes

warm snow
worldly eagle
#

my only comfort was the NPC being like "damn idk how you managed to do all of that BS but congrats"

warm snow
#

And only that set

sleek spoke
#

like months??

#

lol

cunning loom
#

ARR MSQs end at 50

#

not months

celest coral
#

So once I get my toons all to 80, is MSQ roulette a waste of time/rewards?

cunning loom
#

if you don't need tomestones

astral bolt
sleek spoke
#

hmm ok,, well looking forward to future content 🙂

warm snow
worldly eagle
#

it's ok, take your time with the game

#

that's what I'm doing

warm snow
#

It's the stuff you get from the level 45 quests

worldly eagle
#

I'm just chilling

warm snow
#

The other stuff can't go in the armoire

astral bolt
warm snow
#

But it can go in the glamour dresser

warm snow
celest coral
#

Why is the artifact armor important? Is it for the skin?

warm snow
#

Just stick it in the glamour dresser if that's why you want it

#

Glamour dresser and armoire are different things

open ember
# astral bolt

The unaugmented versions of those sets can go in the armorie & the augmented versions can't

astral bolt
#

so basically, either I keep them undyable, or I have to use extra glamour slots?

worldly eagle
#

why can't it go in armory anyway?

open ember
#

Because the armorie is made for seasonal items & veteran items not glam

worldly eagle
#

relic armor is glamour only?

warm snow
worldly eagle
#

sorry just don't get it lol

warm snow
#

Relic armor is an entirely different thing

astral bolt
#

sorry I didn't know there's also relic armor

warm snow
#

A lot of stuff is like this "because arr"

open ember
#

Relic armor vs job gear are not the same

warm snow
#

There's no other real explanation

modest igloo
#

its a bit funky

warm snow
#

That the base artifact gear can go in the armoire in the first place is already unusual

open ember
#

Also the reason why all other job gear can't go into the armorie is cuz you can literally buy it back from the calamity salavger

astral bolt
#

I'm really disappointed by the fashion system in FF14 tbh =.=

modest igloo
#

works fine for me but i'm not a glamaholic

warm snow
#

it's perfectly fine

boreal storm
#

There’s a fuckton of things to wear, you don’t need everything in the dresser

modest igloo
#

now could it be better? yeah

warm snow
#

all I want are more glamour dresser cards

cunning loom
#

ooh, more glam plates would be nice

warm snow
cunning loom
#

apparently not, that channel's not really for anything related to ffxiv anymore

#

Still this is not a channel to complain

@remote lintel thank you very much! 🙂 changing languages did work for me

Finally switched to thamaturge and black mage, any tips.

It'd literally the same

warm snow
#

boreal storm
#

Just more to work with later on

faint flare
#

Thaumaturge is black mage

gleaming moon
#

So I just saw there was a recruit a friend for this game. I had two buds that just started a week or two ago is it to late for them to be linked for it?

late nexus
#

Just switched to from SAM

warm snow
#

provided they haven't already used someone else's recruitment code

faint flare
gleaming moon
#

Does that include the free time that came with the standard

faint flare
#

That's literally the time period you have

#

To use the code

Where do you get your first mount in the free trial these days?

faint flare
#

!faq mounts

zinc orbitBOT
#
Mounts FAQ

'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.

namazuconcern so i got TBN
Got question for usage outside obvious circumstances like prepull

  1. When do macro tbn is used?
  2. When should you recast tbn outside tank buster? Is it never? Or is it just periodic us vs hard hitting attack with cast bar. Not sure the expected use in terms of frequency
  3. As off tank when do you use it and to whom?
    ;-;
warm snow
#
  1. When you want to easily use it on the MT while you're OT otherwise NEVER
#
  1. When you know it will be broken, say a raidwide aoe and you're MT or similar hard hitting mechanics
#
  1. use it on the MT or a DPS that did a big fuck up, or yourself if a particularly nasty mechanic is coming up
leaden ginkgo
#

That make sense now

#

Thanks

warm snow
#

It's an EXTRA THICC shield that gives you a free OGCD cast if it's all used up

remote lintel
#

tbn is drk's cd that can be applied to other people

warm snow
#

you want to use it as much as possible cuz it's THE BEST mitigation tool in the game and when it breaks you basically get your MP completely refunded

leaden ginkgo

Also when do you usually use delirium apart from raid buff lined up? On cool down? Any reason to delay it?

remote lintel

on cd

warm snow

cool down

leaden ginkgo

Aight

remote lintel

if you did it right then it should line up

ARR is gonna ARR

south kestrel
#

I've asked this before, but its still pretty unclear to me. I finished ultima weapon a few days ago and it felt like the end of the base game, yet the msq's I follow now after that also feel like there is more. Am I still playing the base game, or is this free dlc, or perhaps a patch? Sorry if this is being asked a lot.

warm snow
#

base game, then patches that do some extra world building in the leadup to the next expansion

#

in the other expansions the patches are an epilogue then a build up but ARR is weird

!faq questicons

zinc orbitBOT
#
What do all these quest icons mean?

msq - These are how you reach the endgame and every other bit of content is locked behind it to some extent. MANDATORY
bluequest - 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
sidequest - 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
repeatquest - These are quests you can do more than once, how often you can repeat it is up to the individual quest.

wild vale
#

I know the answers gonna be a opinion technically but I need help deciding between a ninja and a dragoon. I may keep my free trial for a bit so I'm wondering what class feels most complete/fun at 60

modest igloo
#

DRG doesn't get super fun until 70 IMO

wild vale
modest igloo
#

classes I find best at 60 are AST, MNK, MCH, and WAR

#

I was doing some old content that capped at lvl 60 so thats why I would know

warm snow
modest igloo
#

has anyone made a tierlist for lvl 50/60/70 classes?

little swift
#

no because tier lists are largely sort of pointless

warm snow
#

a)

#

!faq meta

zinc orbitBOT
#
How FFXIV's Meta Works

All jobs are good and viable in all content. The difference between meta and non-meta is minor, to the point that player skill is a significantly more important factor. Play what you enjoy/what interests you most, and you can make it work.

little swift
#

you could probably find them on one of those "video game journalism" websites

warm snow
#

b) tier lists often encourage people to be dicks about "what's better"

modest igloo
#

yeah, I was curious if someone was bored enough to it

warm snow
#

I mean there's some people I can think of but
a) don't want to give them views
b) we're getting off topic

wild vale
#

I think the onlys I've seen for lvl.50-70 are outdated by years/expansions. Nothing current

little swift
#

mhmmm the only sort of accurate video data would be from weskalber

warm snow
#

only thing I can say is, stuff from later expansions tends to be a bit over powered as they're not balanced for old content

modest igloo
#

yeah since old lvl cap content can be done by every class anyways

warm snow
#

samurai in HW content, DNC/GNB in SB content

little swift
#

otherwise you can't really judge a job when its kit is incomplete

#

you cna form an opinion sure but its not going to be accurate of the whole gameplay experience

modest igloo
#

well I was wondering if someone had done the math, mostly stemming from the all tank UCOB clear

ripe hound
#

I mean due to lv 70 ultimates, you kinda have to judge classes based on their incomplete kit

modest igloo
ripe hound
#

Yeah

leaden ginkgo
#

A day from my active subscription is subtracted after every daily reset? Or is there a different time for that system?

warm snow
#

I think it's every daily reset not 100%

tiny maple
#

what does this do

warm snow
#

birthday

#

means nothing

#

there's 12 months

#

so just go with whatever

static loom
#

alright, i started another relic ö.ö and im at the memory of the dying step, so basicaly the 2nd quest and alrdy collected all of the needed ones. if i abandon the relic quest on the current class, will i keep the memories so i just have to accept the quest on another class?

faint flare
#

Yes

#

They're not key items so they're not losy

static loom
#

nice nice nice, thanks :3

#

You can also farm more than you need for a single weapon as long as the quest is open.

warm snow
#

they will take up inventory space is the only catch

quick sage
#

Is there a way to hide what I’m crafting?

#

I know there is because I’d see people crafting and not see what they’re making

warm snow
#

you could craft in an inn room

#

you can remove those types of crafting notifications from your chat window as well if that's bothering you

green grail
#

i think quick synth doesn't "post" every craft in chat

#

but im pretty sure you can't hide a normal craft result from other peoples' chats

quick sage
#

Oh so if it’s a normal macro craft it will announce?

#

But quick synth doesn’t

stray mason
#

I've gotten to the ques tGood Intentions and it says I need to do hard dungeons for the bowl of embers, the naval, the howling eye but I only see normal version in duty finder?

dire prawn

Go to the Waking Sands

#

Talk to Minfilia

#

She has a bluequest

That starts the quest chain for the Hard and Extreme versions

how do i hide the ui to take a good screen shot?

warm snow
#

Scroll lock

visual pier
#

oh oki

#

ty

tiny maple
#

how do i move the camera like a normal person

#

why do i have to drag the view around

#

wtf

warm snow
#

Character config has all the camera settings

#

Find what works for you

outer star
#

I'm 3 vexatious memories short from completing the quest, which Othard area has the best set of FATEs to fight solo? There doesn't seem to be anyone in the steppes and most are the single big enemy fights

leaden ginkgo
outer star
#

I'll give that a go, as a BLU I can steamroll through the regular enemy FATEs

leaden ginkgo
#

Do make sure to have your chocobo up as well, helps tremendously

tiny maple
#

how can i change the camera so that it automatically looks to where i move my mouse, without having to click in

dark copper
#

is there a certain distance i have to stand to prevent being turned into an iceblock by amon?

tiny maple
#

who tf invented the keyboard layout so that Q and E is moving left and right

primal ermine
#

I did mine in the north of yanxia, there's a fate chain that is easy and many others as well

grave plover
#

Digital Collector's Edition bonus in-game items:
o Mount
o Minion
o Weapon these are when end walker comes out right?

modest igloo
#

yep

warm snow
#

Yes

grave plover
#

and earing and paloom are instant items

twilit arch
#

also you can change those keybinds....so its not like you have to keep q and e as strife

warm snow
#

Preorder bonus: minion, exp earring, early access

grave plover
#

ok got it

tiny maple
grave plover
#

why not paroom too

warm snow
#

I play on controller so not specifically, all I can point you at is where the settings are which is what I already did

grave plover
#

paloom is so lonely

warm snow
grave plover
#

collectors bonus you get it when game comes out

#

ok got it

warm snow
#

Which admittedly sucks since preorder bonus minions have never ended up on the mogstation

heavy wadi
grave plover
#

yeah

#

but you can buy the dlc minions

tiny maple
#

i would like to look around by just moving my mouse

heavy wadi
#

can’t do that

tiny maple
#

without holding down right clock

#

omg

tiny maple
faint flare
#

This isnt action combat like tera or bns

heavy wadi
#

^

warm snow
#

You use the mouse to place aoes for certain jobs so I don't think that will ever be a thing

heavy wadi
#

welcome to tab-target mmos

#

and yeah, that sort of thing is v impratical

ripe hound
#

Does Lost Reraise work in DRs?

heavy wadi
#

yes

ripe hound
#

Oh my

faint flare
#

It gives the reraise buff. Ot acts like a better reraiser

ripe hound
#

So in DRs runs, everyone should have Reraise?

#

Since you can't raise people in DRs

faint flare
#

You should already be carrying reraisers

ripe hound
#

I see

heavy wadi
#

Only ways you can rez are through lost actions like that or healer LB3’s, so yeah you should definitely have them

faint flare
#

!action Lost Reraise

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Lost Reraise** : lvl 0 PLD MNK WAR DRG BRD WHM BLM SMN SCH NIN MCH DRK AST SAM RDM GNB DNC (2.5 second cooldown)(2.5 second base cast time)

Reraise Effect: Grants an 80% chance of automatic revival upon KO
Duration: 180m

ripe hound
#

Yeah

#

Lost Raise don't work right?

faint flare
#

It's just a 10% better reraiser

#

Arise only works with Healers pure essence on

heavy wadi
faint flare
#

At a 10% chance

ripe hound
#

I see, Healer needs Pure Essenece

faint flare
#

EVERYONE needs pure essence

ripe hound
#

Oh yeah lol

obsidian patio
#

I’m pretty sure lost reraise only works with the pure tank healer essence

leaden ginkgo
#

Hey i have a lot of questions guys im new to ff14

obsidian patio
#

And by “works”, I mean it still has a low rate of success

ripe hound
#

sad

faint flare
#

Healer essence

obsidian patio
#

Yep sorry

faint flare
#

Tank essence makes Sacrifice have a 10% chance of not getting doomed

warm snow
leaden ginkgo
#

So i unsubbed from wow to come here

#

And uhm

warm snow
#

This is a final fantasy game first mmo second

#

EVERYTHING is locked behind main story progress

leaden ginkgo
#

I read that

open ember
#

What's the real question

leaden ginkgo
#

So that means the mmo part is like leftbehind

faint flare
#

No its just after the story

open ember
#

Its a Final Fantasy game with MMO elements attached

faint flare
#

With the raids and stuff

nimble arrow
#

As paladin (with bozjan gear) what should I be melding onto it?

heavy wadi
#

it’s a story centric game

leaden ginkgo
#

The real question is "Am i gonna be alone all the Time or can i PvP and raid when i want"

cunning loom
#

raiding is locked behind doing the story

faint flare
#

You can stop whenever you want to do stuff

heavy wadi
#

pvp is not really a thing in this game, first off

open ember
#

If you're on free trial, you can't PvP. You have to buy the game to do PvP

heavy wadi
#

it exists but it isn’t popular

#

also that ^

faint flare
#

But raids are sill locks behind story but once unlocked you can do them

warm snow
#

You're synced to ilevel 430 which ignores your melds

faint flare
#

Not many people do old high end raids, just the casual 24mans

leaden ginkgo
#

Ah

#

Sad

nimble arrow
#

I mean for instancing and so forth outside of bozjan, of course, what stat should I be melding onto the gear?

#

determination?

ripe hound
#

Yeah, for the high end fun stuff, you need to complete the story to play

faint flare
#

And those who do them do old high end content unsync to face roll

open ember
#

Story first then do raids is basically that's how this game is

warm snow
leaden ginkgo
#

I guess ill try but yeah, looking for a good endgame mmo basically

ripe hound
#

Yeah, Endgame ain't bad

warm snow
#

After that it's skill speed to a comfortable gcd, then crit then dhit

nimble arrow
#

@warm snow I'm new to 80, unlimited tome gear? I just got back after like, 3 years 🙂

faint flare
#

Allegory gear

warm snow
#

Stuff you buy with allegory tomes

#

Revelation tomes are capped at 450 a week

ripe hound
nimble arrow
#

you mean cryptlurker

ripe hound
#

Poetics is the permanent low level tomes

faint flare
#

Cryptlurker is the gear name for revelation tomes

warm snow
#

Cryptlurker gear is 520

ripe hound
#

And the other 2, one is weekly capped, other is infinite farm

warm snow
#

So that's obviously better

nimble arrow
#

yeah, just really slow to get.

warm snow
#

Bozja gear is 485 and you can use allegory tomes to buy 490 gwar

open ember
#

Augmented Cyptlurker is what you wanna have IDEALLY when going into Endwalker

nimble arrow
#

bozja is 495

warm snow
#

Youll need to be ilevel 500 to start Endwalker btw

open ember
#

Dude Cryptlurker is 520

ripe hound
#

It's not mandatory I think. Like I think 480 gear should be enough to do Endwalker?

tiny maple
#

is it not possible to keybind the shift, ctrl or alt key??

ripe hound
#

Like I think 430 min ilv gear is enough for Endwalker?

faint flare
ripe hound
nimble arrow
#

What do I want to meld onto my gear, cirt? or determination? 🙂

warm snow
#

You need 370 to start shb

faint flare
#

I showed you the list

twilit arch
#

you're going to get augmented crystarium gear from the post Shb MSQ when 6.0 drops

ripe hound
#

I thought expansions are meant to be like, a new player just finishing post ShB MSQ can start immedietly

faint flare
#

No

#

You need at least like 500 or whatever for pagalthan

twilit arch
#

i490

warm snow
#

Pagalthan is 505

faint flare
#

Yeah that

ripe hound
#

Oh yeah

#

I forget "Endgame" dungeons lol

warm snow
#

I meant drops 505

open ember
#

There are plenty of ways to get i500 gear so

ripe hound
#

But yeah, when Endwalker release, Aug Cryptluker 530 gear should be for sale for Poetics lol

twilit arch
#

yeah

modest igloo
#

ghimlet dark is ilvl 360 yes?

faint flare
#

Holmenstier drops like 380 or something gear. So the 81 dungeons would be like...510? Gear

#

Probably something

twilit arch
#

375 for ghimlyt

modest igloo
#

ah

nimble arrow
#

so crit, mainly, as soon as I figure out what cap is 🙂

faint flare
#

Talking gear drops

warm snow
#

So like I said 30 below cap

faint flare
#

The cap on crit is how much you can shove into your gear

#

Which is shown when melding

wind haven
#

how do i make gil?

ripe hound
#

Yeah, I think most jobs at 80 want Crit?

#

Does anyone don't want Crit?

#

WAR?

faint flare
#

Everyone does

#

It increases rate and crit damage

#

Which is why it's good

ripe hound
#

What's the difference between WAR melds and other tank melds again?

faint flare
#

No direct hit

#

For warrior

ripe hound
#

I see

#

WAR use Det?

open ember
#

Gathering

faint flare
#

Crit and det after getting their sks corrext

wind haven
#

ok ty

ripe hound
#

kk

faint flare
#

rarely tenacity if they're completely out of melding options

ripe hound
#

The other 3 tank can kinda just OmniTank and share gear right?

faint flare
#

All tanks can share warrior melds and be fine

ripe hound
#

I see

faint flare
#

They don't lose that much

ripe hound
#

Yeah I'm mostly just playing Tank casually

#

I think I'll just grab some random Omni Tank BiS gear

opaque heart
#

how to add a friend to my list?

kind flame
#

As a sam, what lost actions are good to have on DR speed runs?

faint flare
#

Pure essence, banner of Sacrifice and Font of Power

kind flame
#

Got essence. Are the other two via fragments i can buy?

faint flare
#

Look at whatever gives the banners and fonts

#

It's in their description

inland pasture
#

What does the carpentry skill that says it increases control upon quality increase do? Is it supposed to refund CP, or something else? Also, should I get Craftsmanship or Control gear from quests?

warm snow
#

Inner quiet increases your control every time you increase quality

dark copper
#

how much is a medium house?

faint flare
#

Control determines how much quality touches give

dark copper
#

/faq housing

faint flare
#

!faq housing

zinc orbitBOT
inland pasture
#

What about Craftsmanship vs Control gear from the quest rewards?

faint flare
#

You want both

#

CP is generally more important so you can actually use skills. Once you meet the minimum craftsmanship and control for a receipe you generally don't need more

slate arrow
#

Craftsmanship increases how much progress you get on synthesis actions, control increases your quality gained. Gear has both, normally, so the main optimization comes from how you meld.

#

That, and how much crafting points you have to actually increase quality, like Vinyl said

inland pasture
#

The gear from the quest rewards I see have one or the other

naive kraken
opaque heart
#

how to add someone to my friend list without seeing him on chat or near me?

Click it again

at least it does for me i dont think i changed it

#

can i delete my enix account and re-register on steams client

gusty island
#

I'm not sure but you might be better off not doing it on steam in the first place

lime grail
#

yeah cause people say the expansions go on sale off steam more.. ik

since apparently enix store has deals more often

Is there anyway to do duties (dungeons) with npcs ?

idk, guess ill do it off steam but this process is stupidly overcomplicated tbh

#

its alr

slate arrow
warm snow
#

From shadowbringers on you can do them with the scions

#

For 15-60 dungeon you can use your grand company squadron

latent nebula
#

I need to do a msq but nobody joins the party

warm snow
#

Squadron ai is pretty bad

latent nebula
#

I see

warm snow
slate arrow
#

For that you'll just have to wait.

now i cant download the separate client either

It'll fill eventually, if it's an MSQ dungeon.

latent nebula

I'll wait then, I appreciate the help!

#

"Square Enix accounts that have already registered for a FINAL FANTASY XIV service account are not eligible for a free trial."

warm snow
#

That means you've registered for ff14 on that account before

lime grail
#

yes, literally just now

#

i just made the account

slate arrow
#

It's a one way thing on PC. if you've started the steam free trial, you must continue to use the steam clients

@gusty island that's the full client download

#

says to close background apps before installation

#

should i do that lol i don't want to literally close everything from razer synapse to discord and steam

flint pollen
#

hello folks

#

mind i ask a question plz

gusty island
# slate arrow <@755556979564609568> that's the full client download

I'm reasonably certain that's the client I'm playing with on my trial. Could be misremembering.
I just remember also having had an issue getting the client because I made my account like a year ago, and it would just not let me get to the download page without setting up a second, throwaway account

slate arrow
#

@lime grail might be a safe choice. The client is known to be temperamental at times

flint pollen
#

the free trail that i just talked to support to recover my old account and according to the lady she mention the free trail is up to lvl 60

slate arrow
#

If you haven't bought the game already, you're on the free trial

flint pollen
#

there will be no stormblood and shadowbringers

slate arrow
#

No, you can't go back to the free trial

#

Yes, that's correct

gusty island
#

Yep, for that just don't apply the code you get (if purchased on pc via enix store at least) until you're ready to move past 60/HW

#

Or you really need retainers. Or friends.

#

Or shouts

flint pollen
#

shouts ?

lime grail
#

lol i cant even boot the game

slate arrow
#

Zonewide messages

gusty island
#

think a small scale version of a zone chat

#

oh it is full zones in here, awesome

lime grail
#

nvm , got it

flint pollen
#

one thing i advise any one with older and i mean older pc it may run very very low or not at all

#

you will need a decent computer to play it and there is a test version so you will know if you can play it on that pc you trying to play

#

ok my question to any one who are steam app player

#

any one has any issue with steam cause im planing to use steam to by the game and i want to make sure i dont run into issues with steam ????

polar flame
#

steam works fine

slate arrow
#

The steam overlay apparently crashes the game sometimes, but otherwise it's basically just the normal launcher

polar flame
#

I've never had the steam overlay crash

flint pollen
#

so its ok to get it stand alone

#

thx yall

naive fossil

i see these all over the place, what are they?

#

what kael said

twilit arch

for the most part can use /lookout while standing on top of them

isn't that ARR sightseeing only

Nope

pallid bluff
#

damn

solar forum
#

question, i come from playing competitive WoW, what are the differences between each game in general?

pallid bluff
#

more time locking :)

warm snow
#

Still a few even in sb

naive fossil
#

aah i see now tyty

pallid bluff
#

also, which is the class with the most actions

solar forum
#

@warm snow whys that?

warm snow
#

We just don't care about it

slate arrow
solar forum
#

so more in the sense of runescape almost?

warm snow
#

It's not popular

slate arrow
#

While there is hard content, it is 100% optional for the story.

warm snow
#

This is also a final fantasy game first mmo second so everything revolves around the main story

slate arrow
#

Speaking of which, the story is required for the expansions, and it's linear.

warm snow
#

EVERYTHING is locked behind main story progress

slate arrow
#

So you'll have to play through Base Games and each Expansion in order before you reach the current endgame.

solar forum
#

and is leveling as boring as wow and anything interesting happens at endgame

crystal bluff
#

No

slate arrow
#

what do you mean by boring

solar forum
#

i mean go here collect this

#

go here kill this

#

1000x times

#

till you reach a certain level

naive fossil
solar forum
#

go here talk to this person

slate arrow
#

No, but yes. You get final fantasy cutscenes in between if you don't skip everything

warm snow
#

Most levelling is done by running dungeons with job specific job quests every few levels

solar forum
#

so then if i was into pvp or into "hard" content

slate arrow
#

That's only for the first job. Subsequent jobs on the same character you can just spam dungeons

solar forum
#

seems like ill have to look long and hard

slate arrow
#

PvP exists, but I'd only recommend the large scale PvP modes. The Feast just kinda gets toxic once you get closer to the top 100

warm snow
opaque heart
#

where do I get a mount

slate arrow
#

!faq mounts

solar forum
#

free trial is banned?

Mounts FAQ

'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.

solar forum
#

why?

slate arrow
#

Because a few people were assholes

#

And not in a minor way

warm snow
#

Hackers dicking around in pvp on trial accounts

solar forum
#

why not just ban them?

#

wow doesnt have that issue afaik

warm snow
#

Cuz they were using trial accounts

slate arrow
#

because they'd just make a new account

solar forum
#

i mean i get that but wow offers the same thing

slate arrow
#

WoW's is only up to level 20 and they aren't lumped into the general PvP endgame pool as far as I know

#

FFXIV uses a "modified" kit for every jobs pvp action which doesn't scale with level

solar forum
#

the first pvp pool you get access to is 15-19 if i remember

open ember
#

PvP used to be available to free trial players however in a recent update its banned. That's how it is

slate arrow
#

So level 30 can play with level 80s with no issues

open ember
#

A few players mess it up for everyone

solar forum
#

also wait how were hackers managing to "hack"

#

shouldnt everything be server side?

slate arrow
#

no

#

Positioning is trusts client due to desyncs which may trip anticheat

naive fossil
#

same as fly hacks in classic wow

slate arrow
#

instant action execution rather than needing to properly weave

#

etc

solar forum
#

hmm

slate arrow
#

Of course stuff like health and mana are managed server side so in large scale modes you can just focus cheaters and they won't get away most of the time

#

Oh, and cooldowns

magic vessel
warm snow
#

They went with the quick easy solution and since pvp isn't popular in the first place they probably figured that was enough

slate arrow
#

Level synced

warm snow
#

Synced

slate arrow
#

So it's scaled to your current level

solar forum
#

cooldowns are?

magic vessel
#

Thank you!

solar forum
#

or what the guy asked?

#

nvm lol

#

so then what do most people do end game?

slate arrow
#

Level alternative jobs, mount grind, treasure maps, alliance raids

warm snow
#

Savage raids, glamour, alt jobs, relic grind

slate arrow
#

If you mean most

#

If you want hard hard content, that's what Savage and Ultimates are for

#

Some do just unsub when they hit the end of the current story though :p

#

Nothing wrong with taking a break

naive fossil
#

oh question about savage raids, are they harder than mythic raids in WoW? i took a quick glance at them and they seem to have more mechanics in general

leaden ginkgo
#

Hey, im another wow refugee and was wondering what dps I should try out first. Used to play most Shadow and Destro lock so I guess im locking for a rpds that is pretty busy and doesnt have a one button rotation, thanks

cunning loom
#

they're arguably easier

warm snow
#

Some say they're about the same, some say easier, some say harder

slate arrow
#

Depends on who you ask. There's a lot of planning involved

cunning loom
#

it's open for debate

warm snow
slate arrow
warm snow
#

And nothing has a one button rotation

leaden ginkgo
#

alright, so are certain jobs gated behind story prog?

warm snow
#

Only 3

slate arrow
#

only Heavensward jobs

warm snow
#

Machinist, dakr Knight and astrologian

slate arrow
#

Everything else is just level locked

#

Oh, and you use the same character for them.

#

No need to roll a new toon.

leaden ginkgo
#

Already checked out RDM BLM and SMN, out of those 3 is there any that sounds like I would enjoy it?

cunning loom
#

the weapon you have equipped determines what class you are

#

change gearset and you're another class

leaden ginkgo
#

Oh damn

warm snow
#

I have no idea but feel free to try a melee considering those are all casters

slate arrow
#

Can you describe the exact playstyle you're looking for?

leaden ginkgo
#

shouldve probably checked basic mechanics before watching r1 gameplay

polar flame
#

blow things up: BLM

slate arrow
#

I'm not a WoW player

naive fossil
leaden ginkgo
#

@slate arrow Fast paced, priority oriented instead of following a set rotation

slate arrow
#

Bard.

leaden ginkgo
#

Is that a dps?

slate arrow
#

Yes.

warm snow
#

Yes

#

Ranged dps

#

Job version of archer

slate arrow
#

Specifically, you're tracking procs and used stuff based on what you get

warm snow
#

Your dots trigger procs depending on your current song

leaden ginkgo
#

Alright nice, will check it out thanks alot already

slate arrow
#

Sure you could spam the basic arrow attack but the fun is doing your songs and reacting based on what happens

Is there an easier way to search for and apply to join FCs other than shouting in local for invites to one?

#

Where do you go to buy items for crafting?

#

is HoH decent EXP solo?

slate arrow

!faq teamcraft

zinc orbitBOT

What is teamcraft? How do I use it? Where do I find it?

It is an all in one crafter website that offers lists, simulator and other features and can be found at: https://ffxivteamcraft.com/

warm snow
slate arrow
#

This site tells you how and where to buy materials if you can

#

Otherwise, you'll need to gather em

slate arrow
leaden ginkgo
#

@ripe hound Ill probably end up trying out lots of stuff anyways, also I wasnt to bad at wow so why not challenge myself

warm snow
#

After level 15 ish the guild supplier won't stock most materials

slate arrow
#

Solo is only if you're going for the floor 100 solo achievement

slate arrow
leaden ginkgo
#

yea I feel that, had every class leveled and geared in late BfA in WoW

warm snow
#

Do it for the amaro

topaz vine
#

if you leave the dungeon while loot hasn't rolled, do you not get a chance to get the loot

#

i.e someone is afk and now i gotta wait 250 seconds to get my needs

faint flare
#

Nope

#

You're removed from the rolls

topaz vine
#

so i do need to wait then

barren granite
#

when you go into a duty, does you character stay in place in the city ?

faint flare
#

Yes

warm snow
#

You disappear

topaz vine
#

kk

warm snow
#

But you'll return to the exact same place

barren granite
#

does it look like a porting animation or jsut poof gone.

warm snow
#

Poof

#

Also if you're doing a dungeon/trial for quest progress you'll usually be teleported to a specific exit once you complete the duty

heloo guys

slate arrow
#

Aurum Vale

#

If you don't have that yet, it's a bluequest near the waking sands

warm snow
#

Do your job quests first if you have any outstanding

barren granite
#

ok thanks

#

always wondered that

leaden ginkgo
#

ahh okok thank you so much @slate arrow

#

❤️

brisk rapids
#

im on the free trial and currently lvl 59, but i still havnt finished my MSQ. Once i hit 60 can i still get exp to 61 but just cant lvl up?

slate arrow
#

No

#

Once you hit 60, you cannot collect any exp for that job any further

brisk rapids
#

dang so what can i do?

#

just lose exp?

ripe hound
#

I have this really really fucking weird issue I have no idea how to fix

#

Have anyone ever experienced input lag in the game before?

faint flare
#

All the xp you collect when capped goes poof

midnight tinsel
#

@brisk rapids level another job

ripe hound
#

As in, the camera movement have no lag, but when you input WASD and actions, there is a weird lag

slate arrow
ripe hound
#

I'm pretty sure it's something that have to do with Mudfish, XIVLauncher, and Plugins, or ACT

#

I just can't figure out what's causing the issue

#

Yeah, not that one

slate arrow
#

Do you have a controller plugged in?

ripe hound
#

Hun

#

No.. I don't think so...

#

Let me try disable Blue Tooth

brisk rapids
#

When lvling another class, do u only do the class quest?

midnight tinsel
#

Well

slate arrow
#

You have to do dungeons to level

midnight tinsel
#

And dungeons

ripe hound
#

But no... I don't think it's controller issue

midnight tinsel
#

Maybe a bit of huntlog

slate arrow
#

And class quests for your class skills

faint flare
#

#

It's just weird, because I feel like I'm the only one in the world having this issue now

brisk rapids
#

ah thanks

slate arrow
#

It could just be you noticing now, maybe.

ionic linden
#

i can get the options to wear "disciple of the hand" items as Astro?

ripe hound
#

Yeah, I'm fairly certain the lag came when I joined the dark side about a month ago and started playing with VPN and Plugins

#

It's also not consistent lag

#

Just have weird lag spikes

naive fossil
#

try lowering some visual settings, found a reddit post saying that helped someone else

ripe hound
#

I see

#

Let me try that out

#

It probably also don't help that I have a second monitor, and youtube and another mobile game emulator on while playing lol

#

So maybe it's just my computer experiencing too much stress

naive fossil
#

could be yea, thats what the post said

ripe hound
#

Also I think my GPU don't actually have enough power

#

not sure

#

I'm using a 750W power supply for a 3090...

slate arrow
#

.... Yeah, your CPU is definitely under load.

#

Emulators ain't easy on the CPU especially a modern android one

ripe hound
#

I see

ripe hound
#

Not enough electricity?

slate arrow
#

you're using 100% of the CPU

ripe hound
#

I see

#

Yeah, CPU is an old 8700k

#

Might be the issue

naive fossil
#

you could check task manager, under the performance** tab you could see the current loads

ripe hound
#

I see

slate arrow
#

and like, modern phones do have the processing power of around an Xbox one x. At least the iPhone does.

ripe hound
#

I did notice I only have this lag issue when in high end content lol

slate arrow
#

Either reduce the amount of CPU your emulator has access to, or hella lower FFXIV settings

ripe hound
#

Like, while raiding and doing extremes, or 24 man or DR

slate arrow
#

Cause FFXIV is still primarily a CPU bound game

ripe hound
#

Yeah, I did limited the number of cores in Emulator setting... but that probably only means how many emulated cores the virtual phone have

#

I see, thanks for the tip!

#

Let me try for a while if playing FFxiv without emulator running still cause lag

#

It was weird because previously, when running ffxiv plus emulator, I never had lag issues....

magic perch
#

I assume if I have a "Steam Account" since I bought ARR originally thru Steam, that I am spiritbound to buying Endwalker thru Steam?

ripe hound
#

Yeah

Otherwise, not really.
