Oh
is there a way to change the Duty Queue Ding Sound so it is louder ?
System settings > audio > system sounds
system configuration you mean ?
before i make a post is there a FC recruiting discord? all i see is static everywhere
There's two types of settings, Character Settings and System Settings under the System submenu
If you're on the title menu, I'm not sure.
ya it is system configuraztion and character configuration .. was looking for settings and thought i was going crazy
I'm so sorry, my bad
Music
Back Ground Music
ahh thanks
hmm wish we could replace the duty finder with a lioud airhorn 🙂 i missed a few being AFK
so I got some points in maelstorm to buy chocobo
but where do I get the license from
I cant find the quartermaster
Does the skip make you skip the entire story, or jus ARR
Depends which skip you get
At your company Hq, which would be in Upper limsa
Which one will let me skip just ARR?
So i bought a shadowbringers code like 7 months ago if someone wants it they can dm me. or should i just put in here and make it first come first serve?(i dont know if codes expire but it wouldnt hurt to try)
why dont u use it yourself?

Should I wait to create my first character on a preferred server?
it's very helpful if you want to level up crafting and gathering classes, but isn't overly required.
Thanks, I might hold off a bit playing then until I can create one on a preferred.
hey guys, quick question. Im on the heavensward "Close Encounters of the VIth Kind". I got the crystal in Azys LLa but I cant get to the quest. The land masses seem to be not connected. I need to go to x27 y34
the Matter Conduits jump you from land mass to land mass
I was close to there but I teleported away to do smth different
in a few quests, you will unlock flying in Azys Lla so you won't have to worry about using them anymore
but since you left and came back, you'll have to use those
ok, thx. can you give me a coordinate? dont really remeber how I got there last time 😆
Is the dps or healer queue longer for eden’s promise?
thx!
hey guys does patron deity matters ?
Not at all
Not currently
I don't think even any dialogue uses it
so i pick any
Which stats/priority materia should I slot in for a helaer?
also does it matter what class to choose when im creating a new character ? for jobs
Is that true that FF is now on discount?
I have been exploring the game f2p now and some people were spamming it lol
where do I redeem my endwalker steam codes?
Is it even worth to buy ff14 now? Or should i just wait for new expansion
the free trial is the base game and first expac free for an unlimited amount of time
sale just ended tho
not really, you can be every class later
Preorder codes go on mogstation as usual. You can't redeem thr actual expansion codes yet
Guess i will hit level 60 f2p then ^^
SPS to tier, Piety to comfort, CRIT/DH after that
Is there any guide on how to unlock machinist?
And i guess i can do it f2p yeah?

Yes
Is there an argument to be made to prioritize crit/det over speed & piety?
Excess piety is uselest
Okay thanks so muxy
Excess speed is useless
17 combat classes, 13 playable in the FT
Crit/det increases everything you do
none of them?
Only the preorder
So I should prioritise crits for my materia slots?
Yes, if you have no mana issues
How do you get extra merit after 25 for the stat upgrades? It's giving me 0 now
It gives me no merit from skirmishes anymore
Go into Zadnor and talk to the commissioner guy who has the blue mark
because you have to turn them into proofs of mettle
He'll introducte the system
have you completed the StQ story through dalriada?
is lancer a good class to start with
All are
Not done dalriada yet do you need to?
Ayo! o/ I'm returning after a few years and I'm gonna play with some friends, I was just wondering can I play on my old char and scale down to their level or should I make it simple and just create a new char to level with them?
You can just swap to another job
how does that work with the main quests and stuff?
Quests are one and done and don't comr back, unless they're specifically marked as repeatable
will I not just be behind in exp then?
!faq altlvlguide
Xp for alt jobs are easy
What should I spend my extra Yellow Crafters' Scrips on? Slithersand?
Resplendent mats?
i spent mine on crafter's materia, since some of them still sell well due to being BiS
i forget the specific ones tho
so look on the MB
What if I wanted to craft my first set of Aesthetes stuff? I'm a very new level 80 in most crafters
I heard slither is needed
this is the first time my friends are playing ff14 and I havent played it in years so I dont have a lot of that stuff available, do you think just swapping to another job is still good or should I create a new char just to level up with my friends?
What's the main difference between lures and bait?
Lures aren't consumed when you fish, unless it breaks which is rng. Bait is used 1 per fish
Basically do you want to start over again or not
That's your answer really
You'll have most thr ways to level alts as you unlock them naturally or just by doing a quick blue unlock
thats why I'm asking, I would want to play on my old char but I have no idea if I will be behind my friends level because I only have side quests on the new job?
Side quests are shit
You have hunting logs
And fates for early levels before dungeons
Your friends will have msq quests, you'll have the armory bonus
Keep in mind the game is largely singleplayer outside of dungeons
For mob kills
It's not really a traditional mmo in that sense
do I have armoury? I remember playing in stormblood but never got to max level
Armory is just a default bonus for being below your highest level
ok
It's automatically applied to all jobs under your highest
so should I just grind hunting logs/palace of the dead while they do main quests?
or can they do that too?
or do your own thing until they get to a dungeon, then join them
They unlock hunting logs at lv10 via their class quest and palace at lv17 in the story
Anyone here uses ACT? I followed a guide but I cant move my overlay. It doesn't allow me to click on the option either
is this game supposed to take up 200 gb?
mine is around 53gb** soo i dont think so
If you're in Dalriada and your instance time runs out, what happens?
Your timer should be extended to match Dalriada's timer
Once it initially expires
So you won't be booted from Dalriada
oo nice
Works the same as castrum
Wasnt sure if i should reset my timer before

is there a way to make phoenix smaller?
No
when is the double mpg event?
for schedule
i'm already 60 and i'm barely into heavensward, should i level up another job so that i dont waste exp
probably yeah
all classes feel bad early on
arcanist feels much worse than gladiator to me at least
the lil summon is so annoying
Multidot then run around
he just aggros lol, i unsommoned him
Heal yourself
You get a single target pet at 15
And spam aoe pet button
gotta keep your pets out
i like less to do LOL
if i upgrade from FT can i level past 60?
Then play dragoon xD
quick question for azim steppe
to access the west side, do you need to come back from somewhere or?
i have no idea how to go up there and get the final 2 aether current
You access the whole area on the first visit
oh
So what's the best place to level to 50 since my squadron is stupid and keeps dying in Aurum Vale
palace of the dead
do the quests get more interesting in expansions?
fetch quests for days in realm reborn lol
For aurum Vale if you want to reposition your squad you must disengage
More interesting cutscenes if that's what you want
F
Level your squads elsewhere then
Get a better defensive/offensive/balanced stance before you go back in
That'd be nice. If I knew how specifically to level those up since each stance seems to just level up whenever
it's random
Cause it does
you just need to do more
Hell I haven't even had ones I wanted level up, my tanks best defense is like
3
Honestly I don't even know if there's a proper squadron setup
I recommend Gladiator, Conjurer, and Archer(for DPS) or Arcanist (for extra healing) depending on what you need
General recommendation for dungeon comp for squadron is marauder and either 2 archer or arcanist
All I got are gladiators
I'd shy away from maruader because uhhhh if you're using a squad healer you're not recovering from Holmgang if you overpull
Can buy manuals to change their classes
My marauders had trouble pulling aggro.
Marauder generally does more dmg than gld which is why its recommended
That said tactis is also kinda important
Also, squadrons do benefit from over leveling, somewhat. I recall my squadron had like, 20k health while I had 2k in brayflox
If you go for dmg tactics for healer they tend to focus on dmg. The more defensive tactics tend to heal sooner rather than later
Is Odin still a pain in the ass to solo?
unsynced, no
So Defensive healer and Tank, and offense DPS?
So I just hit 30 and did the arcanist quest how do I unlock the quest to pick my job?
Defensive or balance for healer works
Only bards can play on instruments? Or you can level bard and then use all of the instruments while being a different class?
Balance CNJ wasn't doing as much tbh
Have to be bard to use performance
Okay, thanks
What lvl of tactics
Complete the MSQ quest Sylph Management. After that... the TWO job quests will be in the same guild.
With the one I was using? 4 on both now
Do you know what level msq that is ?
20
kind of a dumb question, I wanted to play a blm but because im playing the first time i made an arcanist and leveld him to 10, should I restart or can I change classes later on?
So, if the reason why I’m always rolling crap on the Eden promise chest piece because I have a ilvl 520 chest already on?
Hm well try def then. Tho keep in mind squad are still going to be kind of dimb regardlwaa
You can change job
Nope
you can change classes
Rng is rng
Well
I guess I’ll never get the chest piece then
Because I never roll high enough on it
Can I already to that now or do I have to keep playing
no idea where to change it tbh
Funnily enough, you can be ALL the classes on one character. Just know that until you do "The Limsan Envoy", you won't be able to leave the island...
You can swap jobs after doing your lv10 class quest
Oh, and you need to of done the Lv. 10 Arcanist quests.
Huh
alright ty
But to get to thaumaturge you'll need to do more story to travel to uldah
When I hit 80 are there IL requirements to start raiding ?

Yes, basically every duty has a minimum ilvl
/jk
Story minimum ilvls are really low
How do I gear up?
!faq gearguide
!faq gearguide
fuck
Gottem
Ty ty
Oh, that said. If you’re a healer or a tank, you probably want to gear up more often.
What does that little bag mean on some of these items?
you haven't gathered it for your collection log yet
It's mostly if you're chasing specific achievements
Ah okay. Thank you
tips for gathering tons of basic elemental crystals? so far ive just been doing the basic lvl 5 mining node in central thanal with TTB whenever i can, is there anything thats faster?
What happens if more than the limit register?
48 people are selected, the rest get a "couldn't join" message
Does anyone knwo what the red mark on the leves means on the xiv crafting site?
Twelve's Bounty with hi cordials, also if you have a min/btn retainer, sic them on the shards. Pretty sure that's all.
You are using the cristal gathering skills, right? The ones that mutiply them?
Likely whether it's repeatable or not
Can you show a screenshot?
You are right, they are charity ones. Thank you.
ye ye, or at least i have one spell curently at 60 miner The twelve bounty
That's the one
There's also one that increases shard gains by like 10+, but it has a long cooldown
I just figured out you can just craft in the field and refill your gauge/cds.
Yeah, or do duties that don't involve you dying, since GP regenerates constantly, even in duty, but resets to 0 if you die
(It will refill while you craft, not because you craft but because time passes while you do) at least it worked for me.
oooh yea you mean you still wait but your just crafting while it regens in the background
yeye make sense
yep
Wait? Nope.
Craft? Yup.
Also hi cordials

What are ways to farm the event tomestone?
where do you get/buy mounts?
I think I heard a way to run e1n with 6DPS 1T1H?
There’s many ways to get mounts like Story quests, achievements, achievement certificates, beating certain duties
!faq mounts
@astral sail market board and also trials etc
'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.
I recommend doing your roulettes (including MSQ) then farming Hades ex
Yeah, Hades EX it is then
what should you spend your poetics on if your lvl 65 and capped currently?
Is the Crystarium inn not meant to have the bell for the guy who gives haircuts?
OH, that makes sense. Thank you.
How you gonna summon him? He’s in a different ||world||
Is there an unlockable alternative or do I just have to find him in ||the Source?||
Is there a way to actively track or pinpoint your hunt? Or do I just have to derp around until I find it?
Gotta go back
Google pretty much
aw
when solo farming a dungeon, everytime i get a weapon, it lowers my chances of getting what i want or will the same weapon i have in my inventory also be able to drop again?
Chests aren't affected by what you own
Oh i see thanks, but how do i get a specific flying mounts ? xD
But the guaranteed item drop in levelling dungeons can't give you duplicates
got any easy one to get ?
All mounts can fly
Everything flies
it was spamming me messages when i got close to mine. "you think your target is north"
something like that
Flying is unlocked zone specific
OHHHH
That's for B rank marks and S ranks
Not regular mob hunts
oh ok
with pacing of course how far could a high school student who is stuck at home get in xiv before EW
i’m trying to convince my cousin that he will not be ‘behind’ if he starts now
i mean he will be but
i mean he can catch up no doubt
i started last week and im lvl 65 gunbreaker, 55mining/armorer and other various classes also slightly leveled
i think theres time 😛
6 months is more than enough time to hit current endgame and be basically max item level for at least one class or two
And even then max item level isn’t required, it just makes the first few levels of EW go by faster
can I grab hunts from any hunt board or only from the GC I'm a part of?
Only your GC
gotcha thanks
you uhhh work fast, unless you have the road to 70 buff
So when are you able to spend merit for stats?
Yeah i have that buff
After you turn in the final story quest after Dalriada
if he starts on a boosted server, he will be able to breeze through leveling, its just the main scenario quest that takes awhile, given that he takes the time to watch it, id say on average it should take 2-3 weeks
thats atleast my experince and what i see of other
Go back inside Zadnor and you'll see a new blue mark for the npc who unlocks and deals with them
yeah MSQ gives insane EXP and if you decide to skip cutscenes you'll just level like crazy
roll tank as well... super breezy
if i want to lvl up fast, what should i focus on? main quest?
MSQ, dungeons, roulettes
Your levels mean nothing
You'll get dungeons and roulettes as you progress through MSQ
👍
Without story
yeah and you'll get class quests like every 5 lvls that are pretty much mandatory that also give good exp
I see now, so I can just spend my merits freely now? It wont affect my rank?
You can't derank
Speaking of MSQ how far away am I from doing || Doma Castle || after returning from || Azim Steppe ||?
so i guess ill stop taking side quest for the meantime
You can spend mettle once you hit 20m for 3 honors
The cost of the valors go up by 1 every 2 ranks, making it a total of 30 honors to max out a stat, AKA 200m Mettle
and
are the ones to do
i see
btw, im seeing a jobs like culinary or fisherman. Is that something like a side job (idk what im talking about), but its like i can keep my conjurer job and be like them at same time
yep
They're another job
can be all jobs at once
i seee 'sank yu
Unlike other MMOs you can be every job in the game on one character
All you need to do is unlock them
It's as simple as changing your weapon after that
Hey everyone returning player here
sorry if this is a dumb question, but when I'm withdrawing items from my retainer...they don't seem to be appearing in my inventory
are they getting sent somewhere else?
If you're withdrawing gear, it'll go in your armoury chest
hmm I don't seem them there
if my armoury chest was full at the time - do they get discarded?
Nope, they go to inventory
actually nvm - if I read through the chat log it tells me what happened
I can just read here and find out what I did loll
thanks!
Are you sure you didn't accidentally sent them to the saddlebag or sold them?
I heard you can power level BLU with a friend, how exactly do you do that? I get the tag mob/friend kills it part, but where, etc?
Level 69/70 monsters, so the lochs or Kholusia on the beaches
Anything higher than level 70 won’t give the boosted experience
Lv 60 to 70 HOH is recommended right?
I recommend NE Lochs, some people say lv70s in Kholusia. And yes you tag them friend kills, but make sure you're not in a party
61-70, and if you have a slow dungeon queue
How long does it take? And what level would you suggest starting that at? Level 1?
The Lochs, or Kholusia
Like an hour or two
At lv1 you're incredibly fragile, so your friend has to be SCH or noct ast.
Roughly how much gil do you get from challenge log weeklies at max level? Or does it increase at all from below 80 :o
Like an hour and from 1 yeah, generally recommended to have a SCH or Nocturnal Sect AST with you for shields
Challenge log Gil is static
Otherwise you'll just explode
But role in need’s Gil reward for duty roulette scales to an extent, IIRC
Most of my roulettes give around 15k Gil with both the daily bonus and role in need
Ah, i see. Thanks for the answer ^^
sup , in what channel i can invite ppl to my (eternal bond ) ceremony quest ?
Unfortunately the trial only lets you play on one platform
I may be having some snycing issues. At times in a cutscene the mouth animations aren't matching. Is that something I can fix to slow down the spped?
speed*
Your language most likely doesn't match up with the lip synch
I think Tab and Shift-Tab change the speed that cutscenes autoadvance but it wouldn't change the audio sync if these are voiced cutscenes
thank you both, I'll try that.
you can try #494379215420915712 too
hey if i want to run a POTD - do I ask to group in Quarrymill?
you're looking for a group for something specific? like going to floor 200?
You can just click on the matched option
Where do you get BLU gear?
its just normal casting gear
like scaven and shire
Regular caster gear, job quest and doing the carnival
I should add the BLU’s weapon is essentially just glamour, with later ones acting as materia slots
So don’t worry that you’re still using the level 1 cane as you go through the BLU story
What is this person wearing?
As their canes don’t have any stats, they scale their damage on Intelligence a lot more
Elemental armor from Eureka
Elemental armor from Eureka
Jinx
At 70
After I complete 4.0?
Ye
!quest and we shall call it eureka
For unlock area once you beat leveling story
Wait it appears as a
?
I don’t think the tracker supports blue quests? Lemme test real quick
it takes a little bit of work to actually get it
is there ab lfg chat?
but its not to difficult, just a tedious process
Doesn’t look like it supports blue quests
Each time we purchase something from the Final fantasy store, Will the in-game content be mailed through the moogle mail??
Yes, all store items are mailed
It's not instant
Thank you!
how does NIN enter the state of being able of casting stronger shuriken?
Eh?
Kassatsu changes the hyoton mudra to the ice shurikens
!action Hyosho Ranryu
Deals ice damage with a potency of 1,200.
Mudra Combination: Chi→Jin or Ten→Jin
Can only be executed while under the effect of Kassatsu.
Triggers the cooldown of weaponskills, mudra, and Ninjutsu upon execution.
※This action cannot be assigned to a hotbar.
Same with Goka Mekkyaku replacing Katon while Kassatsu is up
There’s still a way to get 1 free fantasia from an MSQ, right? Looked it up and I’m seeing mixed answers.
you get one free fantasia after completing 2.0. thats it. no more
it used to be under veteran rewards. might be what all those old websites are talking about.
for resistance weapon step spamming Void Ark/Ivalice raids, are FATE only have chance to drop memory?
Fates are rng for that
Yeah, any other source of “free” Fantasia are from removed methods, like the old veteran rewards (which is where the MSQ Fantasia comes from), and the old version of the mogstation
do ppl still play the old raids unsynced or nah?
is it RNG enough that you would rather doing a 20-30 minute raid instead?
Depends on luck and how fast your zone is at doing fates
Fates while queing really
Depends on what they want out of it, but yeah
Whether it’s the first-time poetics bonus, crafting materials for money, or the equipment for glamour
me and my friend never done them and i'm lvl 80 so i wanted to see if there's anyone still plays or wanna teach if not ill play with him unsynced
At level 80 with two people you basically skip a majority, if not all mechanics for ARR/HW raids
There's nothing to really learn unsync...you mostly brute force
Or they become vastly easier due to less people in the party
blue mage, on the other hand, gets rewards for doing things min Ilvl
so if you wanna do old raids synched
Well synced
yeah my question is do ppl still wanna teach a newbie or should i just play them unsyced
unsynced for now
sure thanks
There's a few small synced communities here and there, you'll need to go digging for them
PoTD/DR step for resistance weapon <- PoTD is only a chance to get?
btw, lv515 Resistance weapon vs lv520 Augmented Excharic one, I still go for the latter?
POTD is chance, but the rate goes up with each floor set
Resistance weapon at i515 is probably better or as good as augmented exarchic, depending on the secondary stats of the exarchic weapon
wonder if its better to spam DR over floors 51-60
well obviously if your trying to level a job to
its probably better to do potd
Are bitter memories, resistance step where you need 6, is the drop rate horrendous or am I missing something? Spent over an hour solo farming in S front only you get 3.
DR is strictly for relic grinding? is it more efficient?
DR always drops one, and with more and more people having the damage boosting valors it’s been going by faster
I’ve been getting clears around and below 30 minutes
Hi all .o/
I've tried to start playing FFXIV now three times but I keep getting bored at low level. I always read that the gameplay gets better at 50+..
Last time I started as a Lancer, because I love the look and feeling.. But again it didn't keep my focus.
Do you have any advice for fun jobs to play as first main, at low level?
hey guys what does the green leaf means besides my character name is it a bad thing ?
Just means you're new
You can put in a command to remove it.)
does it not just randomly disappear when i get like maybe lvl50
So i just finished ARR and have been working on my zodiac relic weapon... Do you guys think its wise for me to grind it out all the way to zeta? Or... just drop it and grab Varjas weapon and some Augmented ironworks gear and just jump in HS?
I just dont know if im wasting time.. or if the grind will be worth it?
no, not worth it
relic is only relevant for cosmetics atm
it's purely for glamour cause you'll outpower it very fast getting into HW
Given that it's just for glamour, no
It goes away for good with a week of playtime plus reaching shadowbringers
some people will go the whole way and complete it just for glamour, but it’s wholly unnecessary if you just want better gear
i dont have that dlc sooo
nobody cares if you're a sprout
Thanks guys, yeah im kind of in the middle atm lol, I like the way they look and the glow is really nice lol.
Yeah absolutely no one cares, no one will bully you for it or anything. Most folks in this game are helpful.
And if someone does, they’ll get called out...viciously
you don't have to stop doing the relic quest; keep in active and do whatever you can with it while progressing with msq/ queueing for dungeons
where can i find the dps chart comparison for each job?
somewhere on fflog
if you pair it with cluster farming, the drop rate is not so bad. I got all bitter memories when I got 100 clusters
Good advice thank you, so I guess this stands all the way up to shadow then? Just not worth other than glamour.

sweet thanks guys
each expac has its own relic questline
ShB's relics are all bis because it's the current one
im assuming there is mounts right ?
same rule of powercreep will apply to it when EW comes
does the bojza earring coming from pre-order of ShB?
so in case you feel like rushing to get it, don't
seems to be an easy fashion report week
it's an achievement reward
for killing a godly number of things in bozja
"Have 1,000 forgotten fragments appraised"
you kill things, you trade stuff for fragments
where can i buy striped cotton siops
it says market sell price 297 but i dont see them from battlecraft supplier

Mount Speed Boosts do not increase the flying speed of mounts.
So I'm in post ARR, besides food, FC buffs, and the Pre-order 30% ring, anything else I can do to get a boost in XP?
It's more so to level up quickly
You don’t need to
but yes, you have the buffs
@fading helm it is in lv10-20 magic gear section
I know I don't need too, but I'm looking to keep leveling up so I'm prepared for Heavensword
you'll prolly hit lvl cap before you finish SB
so look into the SB and ShB jobs to level on the side
FC buff is weaker than GC exp scroll by 5%
well, at least the one my FC is using. Dunno if there is a higher tier
I'd have to level my GC a lot though, wouldn't I?
until you get them able to be sent for lv40-50 mission, yeah
What is the closest hairstyle we have to that of Shirou Emiya from FGO?
Specifically this one.
Hmm, maybe modern legend or scanning for style?
Scanning for style is just way too short.. and Modern Legend seems to be pulled at the back. Man... this is tough
I was also thinking Saintly Style
hey guys does anyone know when the tombstone of poetics gear comes to ShB?
When EW launches
Gear that you can currently purchase with Allegory/Revelation will become Poetics gear when Endwalker launches
ty for that x
Hey guys is there another place other than Mor'doh where you buy augmented gear and a vendor that sells higher level master work items?
and are tombstone of poetics only an ARR thing?
Poetics are for every non-current expansion
Lol did they change voice actors for some characters between ARR and HW?
aymeric , haurchefaunt and like midgardsormr don't change
Ok I thought I was remembering their voices incorrectly
changed VA studios with heavensward
is this game really 13+?
there are really heavy subjects in that story lol
16+
it's 13+ here lol
Well they talk about whoring themselves out in the msq
Are you 13? :p
nah I'm 21 lol
16+ I'd get it
probably because of the ratings in Canada is different
was just curious really
like that's something
oops it it's spoiler I'll delete
Kinda wondering what's the best way to deal with getting a weapon for NIN when I only have 200 poetics and really don't wanna do Prae rn
I thought FCoB4 spam would work
Except I forget you can't get totems for it like later raids, so you have to rely solely on RNG
how bad is the end game gear anyway?
I come from gw2, so I'm hoping I won't need to craft a legendary...
You can get it with a currency you obtain once you hit each expac's cap
Crafted is only slightly worse?
Not BiS but it's the next best thing while you wait
on that note the crafted is also sold by other players on the market board. when they first came out they were pretty pricey but nowadays they're not so bad.

Augmented Ironworks you mean?
Or Dreadwyrm
We have relic weapons in each expansion but they don't require crafting so to speak, moreso just long grinds of certain content
Dreadwyrm is the i90 DRG gear right?
augmented ironworks would be far easier to get imo
Or
A pretty stupid design choice considering I have classes at 50+
Have you been doing things to get poetics
No, because I've been leveling jobs under 50 mostly
im curious how youre not getting poetics, im alawyts full of them
are you doing dailies?
ah thats why
So I haven't been doing my other dailies, no.
F
alliance raid helps add that up pretty quick, especially if you get into a duty with a new player
tho yeah you have to be 50 to do it
Honestly all I need is like.
Four weapons, because I have Ironworks gear for the jobs I still need to get to 50
And I can solo all of Final Coil with GNB
So at this point it'sj ust a question of "How am I going to consume my time"
every crafting can be done without using actions that require rng? (if the gear is bis)
i feel like youre better off just using that time to do raids with your classes above 50 to get poetics instead of relying on rng
if your crafting gear is bis, yes, though there is still a small amount of RNG with bad poor procs but those are fairly few and far in between
the only crafting that still relies on rng is probably expert crafting
Bluh
even then those have more optimal rotations that dont use rng as much if you have good gear
I have an alt where I bought ffxiv on steam it's in my library now and I didn't redeem the code ,am I able to give this to my friend to redeem ? does he still have to buy the game?
Guess I have to, as much as I
Can I unlock gunbreaker by getting to lvl 60 on sam?
yes, lvl 60 on any job
Really don't wanna put it off >.>
At this point I just need a NIN weapon, though I need four others just to like. Not worry bout those
What's that? I'm still mid ShB
Oh okay I just got confused cos it said lvl 60 on magic or war
as of right now expert crafting is just in ishgard restoration, skysteel tools (technically still ishgard) and resplendant tools (a new glamour that was introduced last patch)
I wanna get all my remaining jobs to 50
they're basically much much harder crafting that can't/shouldn't be macro'd
Sam is a disciple of war
Disciple of War/Magic is any combat class
nice, thxs, I really enjoy crafting and wanted to know what really required some kind of skill, just for challenge and enjoyment
yeah if you wanna challenge yourself expert crafting is pretty hard
great, I never did ishgard because I'm leveling up my crafters just with leves, but I'll check later on
though there isnt much reason to do it unless you wanna get skysteel scrips for glamour/materia or youre getting skysteel tools
yeah, for my personal enjoyment XD thxs very much
Those 3 things (ishgard, skysteel tools and resplandent), are hard even at lvl 80 ?
...Eff it, what's the best way to grind poetics and mogtomes
I'm just gonna
Do that repeatedly
Frontline
i would say so, granted i dont have bis crafting gear but i had like...2nd best popular set and its still pretty hard. mostly because the condition of hte item is way more important and you have to adapt to whatever condition your step is at
I think Revival is doing Feast tonight tho--
for poetics i would say raids
Do that actually
Also I need to find a job to do Frontline on because at 80 you get current tomes
Does Castrum Lacus Litore have a minimum number of players to like spawn at all?
And the jobs I'm most comfy on for PVP are already at 80
why not use the jobs youre leveling
Only one's a tank.
fun fact: you can queue for frontline as a job youre leveling and then actually play it as any other job
the job you queued as will get the xp
And I mean I could yeah, but I'm just like
like once you get into frontline, just change jobs to whatever you want
"It's 50, next job"
dont you have any jobs that are between 30 and 50?
...Oh. Apparently daily frontline doesn't even offer poetics, just XP
And when you queue as a >50, still no Poetics
I didn't know that, great.
alliance raid, 50/60/70, and MSQ dailies are honestly your best bet for poetics
So I guess it's just Prae spam then?
if you wont go crazy doing so knock yourself out
I mean
i dont remember how much poetics the CT raids give without the daily bonus, it might be faster to do those
when can i start using Duty Finder. i am level 13 playing the free trial. do i have to buy the game to unlock that feature?
When you keep playing the game
Duty Finder unlocks upon unlocking the second dungeon
I mean really it unlocks on the first
You just don't have any options until the second.
second dungeon unlocks duty roulette
Same difference
ty for the responses i will continue working toward first dungeon
unlock something
does the first dungeon unlock at level 20 or do i just have to progress a main quest?
aight good to know
15 MSQ
Hey guys does anyone know what HUD setting is the marketplace pop ups and vendor pop up menus? it is so freaking big lol
ty
You'll unlock three dungeons in a row along with Duty Finder and Daily Leveling Roulette
cant figure out which one it is in the hud settings
How come im still a sprout? I have like 5 lv80 but still at the beginning of HW.
You're a sprout until you complete Stormblood and reach 168 hours of play time
@primal relic You can turn it off tho
Well I’m pretty sure I have over 168hr of play time, guess it’s the storm blood
Just type /nas in the chat
nas= not a sprout :D?
new adventurer status
But anyways the real reason I’m here. Which tank is easier to play and has better weapon fashion(cuz that’s the real endgame) GNB or DRK?
subjective and.. subjective
DRK has more variety in weapon glam bc it’s been around for longer
Gunbreaker if you want to go Wacky Woohoo
Dark Knight if you want to go maximum edge
Oh and it’s only for Lv50 content if that matters.
gnb doesn’t have anything <50
While DRK started at 30
60, that is
Yeah but it be scale down to 50
Hey Idk if anyone can help me with this , I started playing like 2 weeks ago and I still have a month left for free , but I want the veterans rewards
Is there any option to like get a subscription without having to wait or something
At least. weapon-wise
veteran rewards don’t start until you pay for a subscription
should I stop relying on recommended gear?
no
Since I can only do lv50 content. Well I looked on board it seem like it doesn’t have a lot of weapon options.
recommended gear is almost always right unless you’re in ARR
it should be right then
I really want to get rid of the Menphina earring.....
it's not fun not having anything to glam over it
I hear DRK is more difficult to play
How do I do Expert Crafting, is it something that I need to unlock, or is only how players call the higher difficulty crafting?
and GNB does seem pretty easy based on my own experience
not really, gnb has more buttons and combos to click. its subjective
guys, is the great gubal library is so bad that no one run it? tank with 15mnt queue :/
you can farm other accessories and glamour over the menphina earring
GNB feels really slow compared to my main class so yeah perhaps
It gives you a +30% exp boost, no reason to get rid of it
I’ll run them both once then and see which one I like better than.
maybe most people are queuing thing for the mog tomes event before it ends, library shouldn't take so much
i’m mainly talking about lvl 80 gameplay anyway
gnb will feel very slow at lvl 50
bc it’s not complete
ow okay
still slow at 70 but yeah
do you have continuation?
im from malaysia what region should i pick
yep
any
!faq worldpick
You can play on any world on any datacenter within FFXIV. Aside from the languages spoken, the physical location of the servers, and the status of each world, there are no major differences. This also means population on a given server is quite meaningless.
The majority of content is cross-world, with the exception of Free Companies, Linkshells, and restrictions when visiting other worlds.
If you don't mind where you play, choose a world that is Preferred or New for character creation bonuses. Check world status by using !status <world name> or via the Lodestone. For information about the status types, use !faq worldtype.
Notable worlds:
- Balmung & Mateus (Role-playing)
- Tonberry & Kujata (Large amount of Oceanic players)
- Moogle (Large amount of French players)
- Shiva (Large amount of German players)
ANY CENSUSES OR WORLD STEREOTYPES BEYOND THIS IS INACCURATE BIAS AND SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY
Wow this is slow? Then I’m afraid what fast going to be when o get to higher levels.
what's not slow about it
What's skysteel tools, is it the bis tool for crafters and gatherers?
you can't know any job or do any job well on your 1st 50 attempts at it anw ...
you can unlock all things to try but to really know a job, it takes A LOT of playing
they are
but bis for doh and dol are very subjective
it all depends on what you want to do
someone told me minutes ago that Skysteel tools, ishgard restoration and Resplandent are called Expert Crafting, is that the name in-game, or how players call them?
how do I unlock all that?
Go to ishgards main aether, should be a blue quest next to a wall
I have 1 lvl 80 blacksmith, but I'm still mid ShB, can I do experts?
that unlocks everything about ishgard restoration
ok, and the skysteel are unlocked there too?
skysteel's starting quest is in the machinist factory, i forget its name
the place where you unlock machinist
do I need something to unlock it?
How come? I could glam over it with the current event earrings
im not sure, but im gonna guess as long as you have ishgard restoration unlocked it should be fine
also the last thing in the list, resplendant tools, is in ShB but i think you need to finish at least the main story first
I already can craft Ishgard Restoration up to grade 4 stuff, is that the expert crafting?
it will tell you if its an expert recipe
Hit 70 on DNC and MSQ is at 67/68, worth it to use silver choco feathers on Scaevan weapon then go do 70 DNC quest for Tech Step or just wait to finish 4.0, use poetics and go do it?
iirc choco feathers have next to no other use other than gear
can i get my one time token pass without paying
i just realized that expert crafts need diadem materials, so either you have a high level gatherer as well or you use the MB to get the mats
oh, nice, yeah I got some ishgar stuff that says Expert, if I have already 1, there is more restoration expert stuff to unlock or do I have all of them already?
tho you could still do trial synthesis just to have a taste of expert
i think you just unlock them as you level up but i cant be certain
nice, thxs for the help, now I know what's gonna be my endgame, haha
dunno why, but it's kinda fun to craft manually during hours and hours
may as well use the silver feathers unless you want to use them on ironworks/shire gear for another job
they have no other use than buying the weapon/chest/pants from the calamity salvagers so holding onto them its moot
I'm gonna use the other five feathers on my WHM that's at 69 for its Scaevan weapon too
Cause I've been told the 70 WHM quest is pretty difficult if you're not in SB MSQ/Dungeon gear and its still in all Shire gear except for its i279 weapon
i think the only difficult whm quest is the lvl 50 one tbh
cuz apparnetly whm used to have a spell that made that easier but that spell is gone now
i don't recall any of the whm quests being difficult tbh
I think it's better to gear up before attempting job quests imo
I ended up failing DRG because of probably low ilevel gear
the big thing with silver choco feathers is getting access to scavean gear before finishing SB since otherwise youd need to finish SB to buy it
before entering Restoration zone, there is a npc with a lvl 80 blue icon quest , Mislaid Plans, and I'm reading it's for a chain of quests, what do I unlock doing them?
should be Custom Delivery Client?
if this is the chain im thinking it is, its two custom deliveries
oh, well then that's skysteel
i thought that started in the machinist area guess i misremembered
I'm not in machinist area yet, this npc is just outside restoration area
nice, thxs
what i mean is i thought the skysteel quest chain started there but apparently i was wrong
the crafter/gatherer relic weapon's story is part of the DoW/DoM relic weapon story (the one made by Yasumi Matsuno)?
no they're separate, if im understanding your question right
the DoW/DoM relics focus on Bozja and pretty much everything there
the DoL/DoH ones are all Ishgard focused (and not even really tbh)
nice, thxs

Ranaa Mihgo is wearing the 80 AF gear for DNC right?
For ninjas when dealing iwth lots of mobs, do you use katon or doton ?
Does anyone know if there are specific FATEs in the Gyr Abania regions that give Haunting Memories of the Dying? I've done about 7 or 8 (max rank) and only got one so far.
No, its any fate, its just bad RNG
... you can't be serious
Both ideally.
it's subject to RNG?
Yep. Not guaranteed unlike the HW Fates step.
What kinda goddamn bullshit.. honestly.
Both ideally ? So you put down doton and use katon after?
sigh Thanks, maybe I'll just try my luck with the Mhach raids
use katon if the tank is still pulling, doton once the tank has stopped
since doton cant stack with itself use katon while doton is still active
i would suggest using the last part of SB for fate farming just so that you can be sycned to 70 but other than that, yeah, just rng
Ahh alright i can understand that. Thank you !
nope
oh you are far from heavens weep then
Lodestone doesn't indicate any msq requirements for the lvl 70 dnc job quest
Is there anything I can trade in allegory and poetics for or should I just let them cap?
!faq poetics
for allegory, you can buy crafting materials in the Other section to sell if you don't need the gear
And if you want to do them pretty much all of the things needed for the HW relic weapons
gamerescape does say you need to do heavens weep, not sure why lodestone doesnt
yeah gear-wise I don't need them so I was looking for something to spend my tomestones on. thanks for the pointers
does soul of the creator savage give you a mount
even garland doesnt list msq so more inclined to believe msq isnt required
from what I see it can drop this https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Arrhidaeus_Master_Key
well @dire prawn is the one saying they cant do it so idk
Are you looking at gamerescape or something?
Oh right
How do the 130 Grand Company weapons hold up to Augmented Ironworks and Dreadwyrm?
No I was clicking on Ranaa Mihgo to do the 70 DNC quest for Tech Step
on par with them
tho arguably the ironworks weapons are easier to assuming you haven't touched squadrons at all
then if you wanna use seals to buy them, they're fine
largely intended to be used as glamour tho
When starting should you be a few levels higher than msq or is just being able to play it good enough
Being able to play it is enough, you shouldn't ever run into a problem with an MSQ because you are the same level as the quest
Keep in mind though that there are a few spots in the MSQ where it skips levels, so it helps if you're ahead
the main one is the gap from level 46 straight to level 49
Yeah that's the one that gets people
If you're on a preferred world though that'll never happen
I'm 37 BLM on Brynhildr doing 22 MSQ
you'll be fine, and it's easy to catch up on levels if you fall behind anyway
as long as you can continue the quest, don't worry about it
I'm really concerned right now
I accidentally made a typo for my name during payment
I'm new, is there like any reason not to level up all your classes to like level 10 to find out what you like most? 🤔
And I've just received my items and an email says the purchase went through
But i'm not seeing any charge on my bank
As a Canadian should I get the game on steam or square store?
The Card Info was correct but I just mis-typed my name. and SE says it was paid. But I'm concerned something's gone wrong since it's been a couple hours and I haven't been charged.
You could call up your bank to double check and for peace of mind
Square Enix store is better
I'm new too so take it with a grain of salt - I don't think there's any drawback other than you're going to progress slower in the beginning and get some unlocks (Airships, Mount etc) some time later
But there's no outright penalty
Okay 🙂
That said I have a hunch classes don't really develop into what they truly are until much later, at least that's been my experience with Thaumaturge/Black Mage
There's nothing wrong with that, but it would help you out a lot if you got to the point in the story where you get a mount
because you'll still be able to ride the mount after switching classes and going back to level 1
This is true
I'm a Lancer and I haven't played in two months because of slow gameplay. So figured I should try other things..
ah
Currently playing BLM/THM and it's a bore doing leveling roulettes
yeah, playing to level 10 won't mean anything. Just about every class at that level is a 1-2 combo and nothing else
im pretty new im like lvl 12 anyone got tips?
I think 15 is better than 10
!faq newplayer
!faq newplayertips
When you get to 15 you can do the novice quests
Imagine caring about armor stats
I only care about how good I look
thx
Why is 8 man the end end game and not 24
They don't make alliance raids very difficult
so the rewards for them are not as high as doing the normal raids on Savage difficulty
@wet grotto thanks 🙂
THM/BLM is the worst offender for this because its rotation changes depending on what level you are
Yup, at level 40 I finally feel like I have somewhat of a rotation now 😄
Still only a couple clicks but I really don't mind since I'm very new to this kind of MMO combat
What’s consider “out leveling” MSQ?
!faq mogstation
Being a higher level than MSQ
But by how much
@leaden ginkgo #kupo-bot-spam if no question
I’m higher than my current msq but not by much I think
Early on it's gonna be like 10 levels over, then shrink as you approach the 46 to 49 jump
Bruh if you go 10 levels higher over your MSQ then big respect
That’s too much grinding
Wym
ah ok sorry
Preorder earrings, eating food, that kind of thing
Ohhhhhh
Preferred Worlds also have Road to 70 which doubles your exp gain from all sources
For example, my BLM on Brynhildr is 37 doing 23 MSQ
Wait will I get preorder earrings if I preorder endwalker
The highest-difficulty content being designed for eight players is part of a general design tend to try and make the main endgame content easier to organise and coordinate playtime for, and thereby make it more accessible to an older audience with limited playtime due to work and/or study
Syncs to your current level up to Lv 80 i430
I want brynhildr but it’s never open
It’s a lot easier to get eight people together than a whole guild like in say WoW
Makes sense
True
!faq serverlock
Standard, Preferred, and New Servers will dynamically open and close themselves from newly created characters depending on how many players are online. To ensure you're able to make a new character on your server try waiting or doing so at a less active time of day.
Congested Servers will not unlock for new players or transfers until Square Enix removes the Congested Status.
I’ve never personally raided in an MMO before
If you want on Bryn you need to try at like 3 AM EST
;(
Also fewer players can mean mechanics designed with more personal responsibility on each player
I’ll stay in balmung then
What happened
Its just the fact that its a friday night lmao.
And complexity of mechanics can increase
Stuff isnt updating because no ones really working on things lmao
Reading your Fantasia quote is making me rethink my recent dlc purchases in other games
hello, I just returned to the game, and I wanna farm the moogle treasure festival tomes, what's the fastest way to do so?
But the charge is there.
Hi, I’m new to the game and I’m gonna play in a Japan server but I don’t know if I should choose a preferred one? I know the recommended servers for English speakers are Tonberry and Kujata but since we can party with people in the same data center, does it affect my gameplay if I choose one that is preferred but lacks English speakers?
Level cap stuff at 50/60/70/80
From what I heard it doesn’t
Why are you choosing a jp dc?
Any server on the Elemental datacentre is still ok
Japanese players are well mannered from what I heard
I’m from SEA and Japan is the closest so
No, because you can filter Duty Finder to English if you really need people who speak it
That should be the default assumption.
JP players are better overrall tbh
Not really accurate or relevant
How do you transfer worlds ?
you pay
Depends on consistency and your level, but e1n with 7 dps 1 healer is pretty fast
Do you want to change your home world or just visit another world?
Let’s say both
