for non ShB poetic gear, you cant but its not unique anymore
like the 390 scaven ring since i cant equip a 400 aug scaven
those shouldnt be unique iirc
oh you right
yeah that got changed a few patchs ago
i wrote a support ticket, the dude changed servers and switched description a bit but is still there
maybe he's looking for attention, but for now let SE do the hard part and try to put it out of your mind
not an easy thing to do
Are Fetes the same time on all worlds for a data center
no, but you can't visit other ishgard restorations on other worlds
Oh sigh
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?
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
Ask people in limsa via say
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
here is a server guide: choose a dc based on your location, and then select the preferred world
how do you get the food you need to change the color of the chocobo and is it expensive or hard?
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?
Zoom in during those phases is most likely the only thing you can do except "git gud".
Rotate your camera and walk with just W
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?
Is that the only way? I'm not used to rotating the screen with mouse and walking

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
Strafe while moving for ruby
what do you mean by strafe?
Move left/right
So in Ruby, should I just move forward while moving left/right instead of trying to rotate the screen?
Yes
Do I have to set up the OTP stuff before I can even download the game in the launcher? ...
Plus as long as you're not in the sand for a long time it doesn't mstter
No its optional security
Leave it blank
I usually get stuck in sand and try to escape but die because I can't see where I'm walking
Rotate your camera to look Down on the ground
Ah. I tried that and it said no; but I made a typo :3
erm ... what?
Update Internet Exploerer
I don't have internet explorer
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
that's what it uses to check updates
Doesn't matter, update Internet Explorer
Thanks
!faq quicklauncher
Alternatively
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
Thanks Vinyl, that's working
how long does it take for Make It Rain to respawn? it expired in front of me
cant remember if i asked this b4 sry, but am i supposed to not play arcanist anymore after unlocking scholar?
you technically could, just take out your job's soul crystal
yeah i know but is it ‘allowed’? lol
but you'd have practically no skills since you learn almost nothing else after 30
there's no reason to play the class
so it wouldnt be viable to play even just as dps?
well what's the reason behind not wanting to add it
which is better
you'd need to do scholar as a healer
you can unlock it
i have both
arcanist/summoner don't have enough healing potential to work as a healer
if you want to be a dps, there's no reason not to be a summoner over an arcanist
so summoner for dps, scholar for healer?
yes
yes
and never arcanist?
no reason for it
arcanist is literally summoner but with less skills
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*
Arcanist is a shitty summoner without 99% of its kit
and this is for all classes?
Yes
arcanist is unique in that you can become a summoner AND scholar
Classes are baby, shitty versions of their job
but unlocking the true job at level 30 goes for every other job
CNJ --> white mage, etc
If you're a class in any like 40+ content you will be kicked so fast
ahh
a class is a base class, a job is the upgrade
Class = baby version of its job
i did that a couple times unknowingly but didnt get kicked lmao
so as a sam, im jobless? no wonder i relate so much
ok
samurai is the job
wait a sam does have a soul
yes
yes SAM has a soul
@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
ok thats cool
starting on SMN/SCH can be complex so thats understandable
i feel like imlearning smth new on this game all the time and i barely know anything lol
yeah
it just takes some time
but tbh thats the same for every game xD
everyone starts off like that
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?
the item you get from completing the dungeon will never be a duplicate
so i can get the full set eventually right?
yes for leveling dungeons
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.
hey guys is there a lfg channel here? need desperate help on chaos
Yes. Dungeon drops can't be dupes. Run it enough times and you will get a full set.
@copper basin recruitment channel
thank you ❤️
ty
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
did you tick all languages in the duty finder settings
well no
and what is the name of the duty specifically
how can i add languages?
click the cog at the top of duty finder
If it’s story Levi, The whorleater (hard)
just making sure it wasnt extreme
im just wondering ... haadnt any problems finding a group so far. now im not even getting a group for "random" searches
Is the only way to deconstruct stuff accessed by the goldsmith's guild?
desynth depends on the item
If it’s made by goldsmiths
are you sure it says free trial
then close and open the launcher until it lets you in
How do we desynth without the goldsmiths?
Like armor for instance
you use an armorer
or a blacksmith
or a leatherworker if its leather armor
or a weaver if its cloth armor
Carpenter for wood
Cultarian for... is there anything CUL desynth?
Fish
is there any point in completing the hunting logs for arcanist as a scholar/summoner
Oh right
Not really if you are high level already
hmm ok so i should complete class hunting logs when under lvl 30 to actually benefit from them?
completionist achievement hunting
I can desynth stuff with my weaver?
finishing a class's hunting log gives you a ring
How do I got about that?
Primarily good early level
I'm lvl 44 weaver and I don't see the option? It's something I made myself
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
it isn't a job quest
you... don't
Prae roulette gives stupid exp
set up some timers and just go for a walk during cutscenes
whats a one time passwort???
can augmented relic armor fit in the armoire?
Talking to me 😮
can we set a louder alarm for when duties pop up ?
?
@tiny maple you don't need one, but you can set one up for better security
well that's bullshit
no?
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
I don't have one and I still log in
Armoire is for event/achievement stuff
Relic armor can go in the glamour dresser
@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
Titan trial period is a big slow down
yeah arr content can be a slog sometimes
but normal augmented armor could go in the armoire
how long until i finish arr and are the rest of the expansions better
a while and yes
Only the arr artifact gear can go in the armoire
my only comfort was the NPC being like "damn idk how you managed to do all of that BS but congrats"
And only that set
So once I get my toons all to 80, is MSQ roulette a waste of time/rewards?
if you don't need tomestones
but why not after you augment them?
hmm ok,, well looking forward to future content 🙂
You can't augment arr artifact armour
It's the stuff you get from the level 45 quests
I'm just chilling
The other stuff can't go in the armoire
But it can go in the glamour dresser
Yeah that's not the arr artifact set
Why is the artifact armor important? Is it for the skin?
Just stick it in the glamour dresser if that's why you want it
Glamour dresser and armoire are different things
The unaugmented versions of those sets can go in the armorie & the augmented versions can't
so basically, either I keep them undyable, or I have to use extra glamour slots?
why can't it go in armory anyway?
Because the armorie is made for seasonal items & veteran items not glam
relic armor is glamour only?
It's not relic armor
sorry just don't get it lol
Relic armor is an entirely different thing
sorry I didn't know there's also relic armor
A lot of stuff is like this "because arr"
Relic armor vs job gear are not the same
There's no other real explanation
its a bit funky
That the base artifact gear can go in the armoire in the first place is already unusual
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
I'm really disappointed by the fashion system in FF14 tbh =.=
works fine for me but i'm not a glamaholic
it's perfectly fine
There’s a fuckton of things to wear, you don’t need everything in the dresser
now could it be better? yeah
all I want are more glamour dresser cards
ooh, more glam plates would be nice
anyways that's for #general-discussion
apparently not, that channel's not really for anything related to ffxiv anymore
Still this is not a channel to complain
true
@remote lintel thank you very much! 🙂 changing languages did work for me
Finally switched to thamaturge and black mage, any tips.
don't move unless absolutely necessary
It'd literally the same
you are a turret
Just more to work with later on
Thaumaturge is black mage
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?
Just switched to from SAM
no
provided they haven't already used someone else's recruitment code
You give them the code after they buy thr game and before they buy their first month of sub
Does that include the free time that came with the standard
Gotcha dope thanks

Where do you get your first mount in the free trial these days?
!faq mounts
'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.

how can we add a 2nd chat window ?
drag the tab out
so i got TBN
Got question for usage outside obvious circumstances like prepull
- When do macro tbn is used?
- 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
- As off tank when do you use it and to whom?
;-;
- When you want to easily use it on the MT while you're OT otherwise NEVER
- When you know it will be broken, say a raidwide aoe and you're MT or similar hard hitting mechanics
- use it on the MT or a DPS that did a big fuck up, or yourself if a particularly nasty mechanic is coming up
It's an EXTRA THICC shield that gives you a free OGCD cast if it's all used up
tbn is drk's cd that can be applied to other people
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
Also when do you usually use delirium apart from raid buff lined up? On cool down? Any reason to delay it?
on cd
cool down
Aight
if you did it right then it should line up
Holding it needlessly loses you uses In fights
Thankie
Thus less dps
is there a way to set keybinds to my cross hotbar?
Pretty sure not, but check the keybind menu
any words yet how to get Cruise Chaser mount?
N/A
thanks
just look on ffxivcollect and wait for the cruise chaser entry to change
awry salvages not showing up?
ARR is gonna ARR
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.
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
Ah okay, thanks a lot I understand now!
ARR had to be self contained after the disaster of 1.0
for other expacs, x.0 is the base, x.1-x.3 is the buildup to the true finale of the story, and x.4 - x.55 is the buildup for the next expac
So NA has a server in Montreal, CA right?
just cali afaik
Thats so strange. On my ExitLag I have a Montreal option for FFXIV and it cuts my ping in half using it.
just like us europeans are stuck relying on the germans
hey, if it works, it works
Im using Resmon in Windows to track my ping and using Montreal is better than San Jose/LA options.
Might be better routing depending on where you are
How do you make this macro? https://i.imgur.com/t8wmyFC.png
Mine always say the server name of the person I'm ressing
I just want it to say the name
oh
What are the blue quest markers for again? It's been minute since I played early game where it was explained.
!faq questicons
- These are how you reach the endgame and every other bit of content is locked behind it to some extent. MANDATORY
- These unlock a feature, instanced content, job actions, or a thing that is important for you to have. Do the ones related to your job/class and ones that unlock new content
- These usually have very little exp/gil as reward and are usually just part of the world/lore expansion. Mostly optional unless you are interested in doing them for the fluff
- These are quests you can do more than once, how often you can repeat it is up to the individual quest.
Is there a quick way to get ahold of a game mod for immediate action? I think I'm seeing an exploit in action; a bot account pulling mobs from out-of-bounds. ...This is a huge pain to find their names, since they keep disappearing.
not really
is it possible to auto-sort your inventory?
Semi-auto, yes.
not auto but you can right click in your inventory and sort
There's no game mods here
Fraid of that.
We're just filthy redditors
But bots do get banned in waves
GMs probably already know of them
Is there a guide website or google sheet for this game for classes etc etc
If this vid helped you pick a job lemme know, I wanna judge you on your choice :)

and here is the more nitty gritty about jobs
is it possible to turn off visual effects ?
use the lodestone job guide for a brief overview of the job actions
yes under character configuration
Are the Hildibrand trials in any roulettes?
yes trial roulette
and mentor if you want to be specific
Kugane Ohashi is so deep into the questline that you will have difficulty getting a group however, your best bet will be around 3PM ST around reset
Refresh my memory a bit: I can get memories for the Change of Arms quest if I did CLL yes? Like 5 per Castrum run?
Where can i get rare dyes?
define rare dyes
these ones
Ventures, mogstation, fete boxes
The green bordered dyes? They're from retainer quick ventures. They can also be bought from the Market Board. Some can be bought with real money through the online store.
venture coffers from quick ventures, and I thing some can be bought in Foundation but I could be wrong
They can also drop from deep dungeon accursed hoards
The last 3 on the list can be got from firmament
sorry im very new, what are ventures?
things you get your retainers to do
!faq retainer
What is a retainer?
A retainer is a private NPC that will act as a personal bank for the player, holding up to 175 different items, that can be summoned to any of the Summoning Bells around the world. Retainers also act as your means to sell on the Market Board.
How to unlock a retainer
First, you must complete the quest The Scions of the Seventh Dawn then go to speak to any of the Retainer Vocates located in the market district of any of the major cities.
What are Retainer Ventures?
Ventures are the means to send out your retainers on missions to bring back items for you and can be unlocked by completing the quest 'An Ill-conceived Venture' (Ul’Dahn), (Gridania), (Limsa Lominsa)
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
I'd say Ninja
DRG doesn't get super fun until 70 IMO
Thanks! yeah looking at the skills list, you're prob right!
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
Weird, I hate WAR at 60, I don't like giving up inner release
that's true, but Fell Cleave > whatever PLD and DRK are doing
has anyone made a tierlist for lvl 50/60/70 classes?
no because tier lists are largely sort of pointless
you could probably find them on one of those "video game journalism" websites
b) tier lists often encourage people to be dicks about "what's better"
yeah, I was curious if someone was bored enough to it
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
I think the onlys I've seen for lvl.50-70 are outdated by years/expansions. Nothing current
mhmmm the only sort of accurate video data would be from weskalber
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
yeah since old lvl cap content can be done by every class anyways
samurai in HW content, DNC/GNB in SB content
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
well I was wondering if someone had done the math, mostly stemming from the all tank UCOB clear
I mean due to lv 70 ultimates, you kinda have to judge classes based on their incomplete kit
i might take this over to #endgame-lounge
Yeah
A day from my active subscription is subtracted after every daily reset? Or is there a different time for that system?
I think it's every daily reset not 100%
what does this do
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?
nice nice nice, thanks :3
You can also farm more than you need for a single weapon as long as the quest is open.
they will take up inventory space is the only catch
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
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
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
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?

how do i hide the ui to take a good screen shot?
Scroll lock
how do i move the camera like a normal person
why do i have to drag the view around
wtf
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
you can solo those, easy
I’m having a lot of success with yanxia and the ruby sea
north yanxia is also decent
I'll give that a go, as a BLU I can steamroll through the regular enemy FATEs
Do make sure to have your chocobo up as well, helps tremendously
how can i change the camera so that it automatically looks to where i move my mouse, without having to click in
Azimm steppe cuz 3 aetherytes
is there a certain distance i have to stand to prevent being turned into an iceblock by amon?
who tf invented the keyboard layout so that Q and E is moving left and right
I did mine in the north of yanxia, there's a fate chain that is easy and many others as well
no, its random choice
Digital Collector's Edition bonus in-game items:
o Mount
o Minion
o Weapon these are when end walker comes out right?
yep
Yes
and earing and paloom are instant items
also you can change those keybinds....so its not like you have to keep q and e as strife
Preorder bonus: minion, exp earring, early access
ok got it
can you help me?
why not paroom too
I play on controller so not specifically, all I can point you at is where the settings are which is what I already did
paloom is so lonely
Ones preorder bonus other is collectors edition bonus
Which admittedly sucks since preorder bonus minions have never ended up on the mogstation
Personally I’d just unbind those and put strafe on A/D
where can i make that the camera movement is not bound to me right click?
i would like to look around by just moving my mouse
can’t do that
omg
This isnt action combat like tera or bns
^
You use the mouse to place aoes for certain jobs so I don't think that will ever be a thing
Does Lost Reraise work in DRs?
yes
Oh my
It gives the reraise buff. Ot acts like a better reraiser
You should already be carrying reraisers
I see
Only ways you can rez are through lost actions like that or healer LB3’s, so yeah you should definitely have them
!action Lost Reraise
it does
At a 10% chance
I see, Healer needs Pure Essenece
EVERYONE needs pure essence
Oh yeah lol
I’m pretty sure lost reraise only works with the pure tank healer essence
And by “works”, I mean it still has a low rate of success
sad
Healer essence
Yep sorry
Tank essence makes Sacrifice have a 10% chance of not getting doomed
This isnt a question REEEE

Ask away
This is a final fantasy game first mmo second
EVERYTHING is locked behind main story progress
I read that
What's the real question
So that means the mmo part is like leftbehind
No its just after the story
Its a Final Fantasy game with MMO elements attached
With the raids and stuff
As paladin (with bozjan gear) what should I be melding onto it?
it’s a story centric game
The real question is "Am i gonna be alone all the Time or can i PvP and raid when i want"
raiding is locked behind doing the story
You can stop whenever you want to do stuff
pvp is not really a thing in this game, first off
If you're on free trial, you can't PvP. You have to buy the game to do PvP
But raids are sill locks behind story but once unlocked you can do them
For bozja nothing
You're synced to ilevel 430 which ignores your melds
Not many people do old high end raids, just the casual 24mans
I mean for instancing and so forth outside of bozjan, of course, what stat should I be melding onto the gear?
determination?
Yeah, for the high end fun stuff, you need to complete the story to play
And those who do them do old high end content unsync to face roll
Story first then do raids is basically that's how this game is
Outside bozja your unlimited tome gear is ilevel 490 and better
I guess ill try but yeah, looking for a good endgame mmo basically
Yeah, Endgame ain't bad
After that it's skill speed to a comfortable gcd, then crit then dhit
@warm snow I'm new to 80, unlimited tome gear? I just got back after like, 3 years 🙂
Allegory gear
Tome always have 2 unlimited and 1 limited
you mean cryptlurker
Poetics is the permanent low level tomes
Cryptlurker is the gear name for revelation tomes
Cryptlurker gear is 520
And the other 2, one is weekly capped, other is infinite farm
So that's obviously better
yeah, just really slow to get.
Bozja gear is 485 and you can use allegory tomes to buy 490 gwar
Augmented Cyptlurker is what you wanna have IDEALLY when going into Endwalker
bozja is 495
Youll need to be ilevel 500 to start Endwalker btw
Dude Cryptlurker is 520
It's not mandatory I think. Like I think 480 gear should be enough to do Endwalker?
is it not possible to keybind the shift, ctrl or alt key??
Like I think 430 min ilv gear is enough for Endwalker?
30 levels below cap, so 500
They're modifiers
Wait new expansions require THAT high ilv?
What do I want to meld onto my gear, cirt? or determination? 🙂
You need 370 to start shb
I showed you the list
you're going to get augmented crystarium gear from the post Shb MSQ when 6.0 drops
I thought expansions are meant to be like, a new player just finishing post ShB MSQ can start immedietly
i490
Pagalthan is 505
Yeah that
I meant drops 505
There are plenty of ways to get i500 gear so
But yeah, when Endwalker release, Aug Cryptluker 530 gear should be for sale for Poetics lol
yeah
ghimlet dark is ilvl 360 yes?
Holmenstier drops like 380 or something gear. So the 81 dungeons would be like...510? Gear
Probably something
375 for ghimlyt
ah
Holminster req is 370
so crit, mainly, as soon as I figure out what cap is 🙂
Talking gear drops
So like I said 30 below cap
The cap on crit is how much you can shove into your gear
Which is shown when melding
how do i make gil?
What's the difference between WAR melds and other tank melds again?

rarely tenacity if they're completely out of melding options
The other 3 tank can kinda just OmniTank and share gear right?
All tanks can share warrior melds and be fine
I see
They don't lose that much
Yeah I'm mostly just playing Tank casually
I think I'll just grab some random Omni Tank BiS gear
how to add a friend to my list?
As a sam, what lost actions are good to have on DR speed runs?
Pure essence, banner of Sacrifice and Font of Power
Got essence. Are the other two via fragments i can buy?
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?
Inner quiet increases your control every time you increase quality
how much is a medium house?
Control determines how much quality touches give
/faq housing
!faq housing
What about Craftsmanship vs Control gear from the quest rewards?
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
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
The gear from the quest rewards I see have one or the other
you'll want minimum 21 million for plot and license
how to add someone to my friend list without seeing him on chat or near me?
player search, they have to be on the same world as you
and logged in
Click it again
Oh it's Alt right click
Oh you're right
Does the FFXIV client crash for anyone else every time you close it?
Always have to taskmanager my way out
look, i'm trying to do the trial on steam. i registed for a new enix account on their website, and it says im on free trial. it wont let me play, it keeps asking for either a product key/code on steam's launcher or it says i can't
what do i do lol

steam and enix are seperate platforms, so to speak
patience is running low already, i can't even play the game lol
can i delete my enix account and re-register on steams client
I'm not sure but you might be better off not doing it on steam in the first place
yeah cause people say the expansions go on sale off steam more.. ik
yeah
Is there anyway to do duties (dungeons) with npcs ?
sorry, don't know anything else that might help
idk, guess ill do it off steam but this process is stupidly overcomplicated tbh
its alr
Kinda
Which ones? Level 71+ dungeons have Trusts. Level 15-60 has Squadrons
From shadowbringers on you can do them with the scions
For 15-60 dungeon you can use your grand company squadron
I need to do a msq but nobody joins the party
Squadron ai is pretty bad
I see
Just use duty finder
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.
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."
That means you've registered for ff14 on that account before
It's a one way thing on PC. if you've started the steam free trial, you must continue to use the steam clients
my account status says 'free trial' but i dont know how to get the client
@lime grail https://www.finalfantasyxiv.com/playersdownload/na/ try grabbing the client from here, should work
!faq gotrial
!faq freetrial
@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
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
@lime grail might be a safe choice. The client is known to be temperamental at times
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
If you haven't bought the game already, you're on the free trial
there will be no stormblood and shadowbringers
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
shouts ?
lol i cant even boot the game
Zonewide messages
nvm , got it
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 ????
steam works fine
The steam overlay apparently crashes the game sometimes, but otherwise it's basically just the normal launcher
I've never had the steam overlay crash
i see these all over the place, what are they?
sightseeing points
for the most part can use /lookout while standing on top of them
a few are different emotes, like /me or /pray
There's a few that are still Time locked too
isn't that ARR sightseeing only
Nope
damn
question, i come from playing competitive WoW, what are the differences between each game in general?
more time locking :)
Still a few even in sb
aah i see now tyty
Pvp is largely ignored
also, which is the class with the most actions
@warm snow whys that?
We just don't care about it
FFXIV has more lifestyle/casual content
so more in the sense of runescape almost?
It's not popular
While there is hard content, it is 100% optional for the story.
This is also a final fantasy game first mmo second so everything revolves around the main story
Speaking of which, the story is required for the expansions, and it's linear.
EVERYTHING is locked behind main story progress
So you'll have to play through Base Games and each Expansion in order before you reach the current endgame.
and is leveling as boring as wow and anything interesting happens at endgame
No
what do you mean by boring
i mean go here collect this
go here kill this
1000x times
till you reach a certain level
i personally dont think so, leveling feels sooo much faster in general imo
go here talk to this person
No, but yes. You get final fantasy cutscenes in between if you don't skip everything
Most levelling is done by running dungeons with job specific job quests every few levels
so then if i was into pvp or into "hard" content
That's only for the first job. Subsequent jobs on the same character you can just spam dungeons
seems like ill have to look long and hard
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
Pvp exists but its not super popular and free trial is banned because people are dicks
where do I get a mount
!faq mounts
free trial is banned?
'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.
why?
Hackers dicking around in pvp on trial accounts
Cuz they were using trial accounts
because they'd just make a new account
i mean i get that but wow offers the same thing
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
the first pvp pool you get access to is 15-19 if i remember
PvP used to be available to free trial players however in a recent update its banned. That's how it is
So level 30 can play with level 80s with no issues
A few players mess it up for everyone
same as fly hacks in classic wow
hmm
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
What does the symbol on the bottom left mean?
https://drive.google.com/uc?id=1CJh_8-PQTvZXcgh42xKohxMpzhX9uIRP
They went with the quick easy solution and since pvp isn't popular in the first place they probably figured that was enough
Level synced
Synced
So it's scaled to your current level
cooldowns are?
Thank you!
Level alternative jobs, mount grind, treasure maps, alliance raids
Savage raids, glamour, alt jobs, relic grind
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
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
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
they're arguably easier
Some say they're about the same, some say easier, some say harder
Depends on who you ask. There's a lot of planning involved
it's open for debate
EVERYTHING is locked behind main story progress
Nobody has a one button rotation, unless you're a healer
And nothing has a one button rotation
alright, so are certain jobs gated behind story prog?
Only 3
only Heavensward jobs
Machinist, dakr Knight and astrologian
Everything else is just level locked
Oh, and you use the same character for them.
No need to roll a new toon.
Already checked out RDM BLM and SMN, out of those 3 is there any that sounds like I would enjoy it?
the weapon you have equipped determines what class you are
change gearset and you're another class
Oh damn
I have no idea but feel free to try a melee considering those are all casters
Can you describe the exact playstyle you're looking for?
shouldve probably checked basic mechanics before watching r1 gameplay
blow things up: BLM
I'm not a WoW player
i played red mage a lot, i very much enjoy it coming from destro, although ive moved to dancer (but dancer's level locked to 50 or 60 idr)
@slate arrow Fast paced, priority oriented instead of following a set rotation
Bard.
Is that a dps?
Yes.
Specifically, you're tracking procs and used stuff based on what you get
Your dots trigger procs depending on your current song
Alright nice, will check it out thanks alot already
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?
!faq communityfinder
Also Bard is hard man
Where do you go to buy items for crafting?
is HoH decent EXP solo?
Certain vendors, or the marketboard.
!faq teamcraft
It is an all in one crafter website that offers lists, simulator and other features and can be found at: https://ffxivteamcraft.com/
If they're not sold at your guild, you'll probably have to go market board or gather yourself
This site tells you how and where to buy materials if you can
Otherwise, you'll need to gather em
Shhhh not really, the EXP mostly comes from the speed rather than solo
@ripe hound Ill probably end up trying out lots of stuff anyways, also I wasnt to bad at wow so why not challenge myself
After level 15 ish the guild supplier won't stock most materials
Solo is only if you're going for the floor 100 solo achievement
You could become me, who can't decide which job to play and thus can't properly gear one until the savage loot lockout ends 
yea I feel that, had every class leveled and geared in late BfA in WoW
Do it for the amaro
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
so i do need to wait then
when you go into a duty, does you character stay in place in the city ?
Yes
You disappear
kk
But you'll return to the exact same place
does it look like a porting animation or jsut poof gone.
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
whats the fastest way to lvl ? i need 1 more lvl to go
stuck at 48 need 49...did all dailies roulette tec
Do your job quests first if you have any outstanding
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?
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?
All the xp you collect when capped goes poof
@brisk rapids level another job
As in, the camera movement have no lag, but when you input WASD and actions, there is a weird lag
*legacy movement has it as it rotates your character before you move forward., as far as I can tell.
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
Do you have a controller plugged in?
When lvling another class, do u only do the class quest?
Well
You have to do dungeons to level
And dungeons
But no... I don't think it's controller issue
Maybe a bit of huntlog
And class quests for your class skills
!faq altlvlguide
It's just weird, because I feel like I'm the only one in the world having this issue now
ah thanks
It could just be you noticing now, maybe.
i can get the options to wear "disciple of the hand" items as Astro?
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
try lowering some visual settings, found a reddit post saying that helped someone else
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
could be yea, thats what the post said
Also I think my GPU don't actually have enough power
not sure
I'm using a 750W power supply for a 3090...
.... Yeah, your CPU is definitely under load.
Emulators ain't easy on the CPU especially a modern android one
I see
What does under load mean again?
Not enough electricity?
you're using 100% of the CPU
you could check task manager, under the performance** tab you could see the current loads
I see
and like, modern phones do have the processing power of around an Xbox one x. At least the iPhone does.
I did notice I only have this lag issue when in high end content lol
Either reduce the amount of CPU your emulator has access to, or hella lower FFXIV settings
Like, while raiding and doing extremes, or 24 man or DR
Cause FFXIV is still primarily a CPU bound game
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....
I assume if I have a "Steam Account" since I bought ARR originally thru Steam, that I am spiritbound to buying Endwalker thru Steam?
Yeah
that's what I get for being stupid. thank you!
No problem
where does our money go when we teleport
Guards
Aether? Rowena? Minfilia?
there's a aetheryte attendant you give your money to
just don't see it cos not really that i mportant
interastin
Trade in for gc seals, desynth or sell to an npc for a pittance of gil
where to trade it for gc
At your grand company
?
im in grand company but where's the vendor
Quartermaster
2nd to last npc on the right
ok thanks !
Is there anything I should be doing with my low level blue/green/pink weapons other than selling?
I better look into that 😮
Do we get gathering class quests past lvl 70 guys?
Kinda, from the Crystalize Mean
Crystalline mean
