#

however if there is something wrong, i must know what it is telling you when you're logging in with the steam trial launcher

obsidian patio
#

You basically assign one DPS from both groups to float to the other pair of enumeration if one trio has both enumerations

leaden ginkgo
#

Gives me an error that I am not licensed for this version of the game

left lantern
#

Can i ask one thing If i have another account can i use it with steam and run 2 instances of the game on my PC

outer mural
obsidian patio
#

if they're 100% separate then yes.

# outer mural when did you make this account

I had an account. Which didn't work, then I created a new one last week.
Then I created 2 more and they also did not work.

Under platform I cannot select steam. Only the windows version. I also cannot transfer to the steam version In the mog station because it is grayed out

left lantern
#

Thank you all for the help have a great day

outer mural
#

okay so that rules out any of those accounts having been used in the past, so that's not the issue

leaden ginkgo
#

I can't even get the steam version to download because I do not have an account that is able to log in for the download to start

outer mural
#

i am confused

#

did you not have the steam version demo installed?

leaden ginkgo
#

You need to log in to be able to download the game from the launcher

outer mural
#

okay, that is what you mean. excuse me

leaden ginkgo
#

You download and install the launcher

#

It does not download the game

#

Did you register the CDkey from the steam game to the mogstation?

#

The what

outer mural
#

i do not think violet bought the game or anything

#

they just hit the download for the demo

#

and over 4 accounts i do not think it is possible for all of them to have been used prior, especially since they said they were made only a week ago

#

this is truly unusual

leaden ginkgo
#

The online CD key is used to link your mogstation account to steam. At least I had to do that when I got it. I think it just tells mogstation that this is registered to steam

#

Where do I get the cd key

leaden ginkgo
#

Sorry, had to make a picture

#

Np!

outer mural
#

free trial accounts don't have that i believe? doesn't hurt to check though

leaden ginkgo
#

GONNA FUCKING TRY THAT WHEN I AM GOD DAMN FUCKING HOM3

#

EXCUSE ME. IVE BEEN BATTLING FOR THIS SHIT FOR A FUCKING WEEK

#

It's just a way to tell the mogstation that you're using steam

outer mural
#

violet, over in mogstation when it says "standard", what does it say

#

on, idk, the last account you made

leaden ginkgo
outer mural
#

yeah i'm starting to figure out why you were frustrated as fuck earlier

leaden ginkgo
outer mural
#

eesh

#

did you not have an account for both steam and mogstation?

leaden ginkgo
#

If you have an account, no. You just need to tell the mogstation that you're using the steam version with the CDkey

leaden ginkgo
proud willow
#

There is a way to have the launcher reset back to the screen where it asks you if you have an account, it appears to be in the FFXIV_BOOT.cfg file

#

You change StartupCompleted 1 to StartupCompleted 0

leaden ginkgo
proud willow
#

it seems as if the only way you could get past that initial screen and onto the login part was if you did create an account, or if you clicked that you already have an account

leaden ginkgo
proud willow
#

It doesn't normally take you to the login screen before then

leaden ginkgo
outer mural
#

how bad are the taxes to where this would be preferable btw

#

not trying to diverge from solving the problem but

#

i am curious now

leaden ginkgo
outer mural
#

ah okay, figured it was ridiculous

outer mural
leaden ginkgo
#

My friend is waiting for me. Has been waiting for a week. Then she started playing without me and I'm alone. Almost gave up on playing the game

outer mural
#

i'm looking into why this step was bypassed for registering your account

leaden ginkgo
#

Just sign into your mogstation account, use the CDkey on Your Account> Enter item code> use your CDkey from steam at the bottom of the page

outer mural
#

she can come back and do stuff with you fwiw

#

t's not to where u need to sync up at the entire same time

#

I had the same problem yesterday, Cyclingsofa is right you need to go to your documents, then gams and delete the final fantasy XIV A real Reborn folder and then the launcher will forget everything about the past and act like new.

#

also try this i guess, apparently this forces the launcher to reconsider everything and might ask you to make an account

leaden ginkgo
outer mural
#

it's a rather old thread so i'm not sure how accurate that is

proud willow
#

no cd key

proud willow
#

You just have to create an account through the launcher

#

which means resetting it back to where it asks you to create an account

outer mural
#

hiten seems to be on the right track, i'm getting the same hits as they are

outer mural
#

yeah i have zero clue, something must've happened between a week ago and now to where it's an issue

#

i'm gonna install the launcher myself and try rn

leaden ginkgo
#

Idk, but both of my hard drives crashed. Going home today and getting two new ones tomorrow. Then I can properly test

#

Thank fuck someone at least helped

#

Thank you everyone. I will try your suggestions and hope to God that it will work because I am super close to pulling out my hair

hard aurora
#

good luck

#

i just saw the issue you were having, rip

thorny isle
#

Is the only way to get Defragmented Tomestone from Edens Promise: Eternity (Blade of lost Antiq.)?

obsidian patio
#

unless you do savage, then yes.

thorny isle
#

thats a p[ainfl grind

agile laurel
#

well, not really

#

it's simple content for 10 minutes once a week

#

for, uh, 4 weeks?

left lantern
#

sorry again how do i get higher rank with my GC

patent citrus
left lantern
#

stuck here

lethal cape
#

Hunts I believe?

#

Wait no

#

There's some mission quests

#

You need to finish these and then "Apply for Promotion"

#

And then there's 2 more mission quests

left lantern
#

Ohhh sorry

left lantern
#

this door?

#

never really thought about it tbh so thank you

thorny isle
lethal cape
left lantern
#

Thank you so much

lethal cape
agile laurel
left lantern
#

so log and that door

lethal cape
agile laurel
#

it's not the only kind of weapon you're expected to get at max

thorny isle
patent citrus
#

then don't expect elite weapons

agile laurel
#

extreme trial

patent citrus
#

you can just finish relic

left lantern
lethal cape
agile laurel
#

and yeah, in that case you've got your lot

#

your options are relic weapon, diamond ex, savage, or wait for cryptlurker

#

that's it

lethal cape
left lantern
#

ohh ok thank you

lethal cape
#

Np

left lantern
#

sorry again but if i ever did find a second home for an FC and make a workshop does company seals help a lot with airships? or is it more your own company credits

thorny isle
left lantern
#

i know but

#

was wondering for mats or anything like that

agile laurel
obsidian patio
#

GC seals are definitely valuable for airships

#

you need a LOT of stuff like Coke

agile laurel
#

frankly, for close-to-ilvl-cap weapons you're expected to pull your finger out in some way

left lantern
#

since i feel i never spent any GC seals

agile laurel
#

especially if you're trying to get all of them

#

that's no small investment

thorny isle
white sierra
#

How do you get the wind-up succubus minion? It's cute

patent citrus
#

500 allied seals from hunt

obsidian patio
#

bought with allied seals from doing the Grand Company Hunting board.

white sierra
#

Never done that, so I've no idea he w that works

manic rune
#

join a hunt discord

#

you'll get allied seals when you kill ARR hunt marks

obsidian patio
#

first you need to be 2nd Lieutenant of your grand company

white sierra
#

I think that's exactly where I am lol

#

Out of curiosity do you know the hunt to mark ratio or does it just vary

obsidian patio
left lantern
obsidian patio
#

sure

manic rune
left lantern
#

oh sorry

white sierra
#

Ok thanks

left lantern
#

you got the Faloop one which is really good

patent citrus
#

yeah, spot the S, go there quickly, wait for people and ask for party, kill 5 times

#

that should be 500 allied seals

left lantern
#

can i just check if i got something right

To rank up i need to carry on with Squadrons keep sending them off and that then after a while i should be ok for a promotion?

patent citrus
#

yeah since they need level

#

you need to keep sending them for mission until they reach lv 60 something, and then train them accoding to the mission requirements

#

once you finish the key mission, you can rank up

left lantern
#

thank you

#

is there any mats i can buy now so my seals arn't going in the bin someone said i need lots of coke for a workshop right?

potent shale
#

so I'm starting a new character alt in Crystal, yet for some reason my paid mounts are not there yet. I tried using the Request Delivery Service, but it's not showing

clear shoal
#

If something says it requires 70 Desynth, does that mean everything above 70 is the same as far as how good the items you might get are? Like, is 200 = to 100 when Desynthing an item that requires 70?

whole wasp
#

afaik yes

vernal birch
#

Hi I'm a bit confused about treasure maps: Do only some of them unlock the dungeons? And is there a minimum party size required for it?

you just gotta go past the breakpoint to maximize the chances of getting the full drop list

whole wasp
#

dungeons after maps are random chance except one type

vernal birch
#

does all maps give this chance?

whole wasp
#

which is thief's map has a guaranteed chance to spawn the dungeon

#

the other maps are all random chance

vernal birch
#

ohhh nice thanks, and no minimum party size?

jovial quarry
#

Dragonskin, Gazelleskin, and Zonureskin maps can spawn portals. It’s recommended you bring at least one of each role in your party. They will sync you down to their level and you can’t solo them.

whole wasp
#

no but generally bring a couple more people for the lvl 80 maps

vernal birch
#

Thank you guys so much for the info!!

#

What would be Aerith's job in ffxiv?

patent citrus
#

white mage

leaden ginkgo
#

What are the chances I will get to create a character in tonberry at 4 in the morning

patent citrus
#

very high

cobalt glen
#

Are blue quests only found around Aetherite like in cities?

obsidian patio
#

for the most part, yes.

#

the class/job quests can be out in random zones.

cobalt glen
#

Will i be lead to quests like that through the class quests before hand?

obsidian patio
#

there are also blue quests for each expansion zone that work towards unlocking flying for that zone.

#

If you do them as they unlock/in a row then yes.

cobalt glen
#

Okay, thank you

#

im trying to go back and complete them lol

leaden ginkgo
#

uh

#

new to ffxiv, what level do I unlock glam and how?

proud willow
#

!faq glamour

Glamour FAQ

'What is Glamour and how do I unlock it?'

Glamour is the process of changing an equipment's look into a different item with the use of Glamour Prisms. You can unlock the ability to glamour by doing the level 15 quests 'If I Had a Glamour' in Vesper Bay, West Thanalan. Although not required, you can unlock the ability to dye gear with the nearby quest 'Color Your World'. You can get the Orange Juice needed by talking to the nearby Merchant & Mender. Items used for glamouring are not lost upon use.

'How do I glamour? Where do I get more Prisms?'

Glamouring is done by right-clicking (Square or X on controllers) on the equipment you want to glamour and choosing the option 'Cast Glamour'. After clicking this you choose the item you want the appearance on the right half of the menu that opened up. You can get more Glamour Prisms by either crafting them after completing the quest 'Absolutely Glamourous', buying them from your Grand Company Quartermaster, or buying them from the marketboard.

leaden ginkgo

thanks

empty kestrel
#

if I use my Fantasia, does it get consumed then, or not until I confirm my changes?

proud willow
#

it gets consumed immediately

#

and you will then have a button on your login screen to change the character

empty kestrel
#

Ohh, okay I got it.

patent fog
#

Did stack markers ever get a tutorial or did I miss something? It feels wrong that I had to learn this from other people rather than the game itself

proud willow
#

mechanics in generally tend not to have tutorials namazuthink

#

if you were RDM, I think one of their job quests has a stack marker in it, and an NPC tells you what to do

polar flame
#

what are some useful quests to do as a beginner? I heard about the challenge log, anything else?

proud willow
#

but aside from that, it's not taught. It just starts showing up

polar flame
#

I'm level 39 currently

proud willow
#

My Feisty Little Chocobo, in South Shroud

polar flame
#

oh yeah I got the chocobo

proud willow
#

for the combat chocobo

polar flame
#

is it actually useful?

patent citrus
#

very, lol

ionic zinc
#

Hey

proud willow
#

it's extra damage, plus some small heals if you choose the healing tree

polar flame
#

So I should just have my chocobo out at all time?

patent citrus
#

yeah if you are doing open world quest

proud willow
#

Yeah, there's no downside to having it out

patent citrus
#

let the chocobo heal you, you just do DPS

patent fog
#

Helps u solo more overworld content

ionic zinc
#

do you know which servercan I choose to play with french people?

patent citrus
#

moggle

patent fog
#

The Regen is nice on a tank class

patent citrus
#

even for healer class it's good

polar flame
#

I want the chocobo to tank

patent citrus
#

don't do that

polar flame
#

so i can burst em down with fire

patent citrus
#

they don't have armor

proud willow
#

Moogle (on the Chaos DC) has the highest concentration of French players

patent citrus
#

you tank it yourself, let them heal you

polar flame
#

is lvling individual for my pets?

#

or is it shared between all pets

proud willow
#

this is the only pet you get

#

or, well, the only "companion"

polar flame
#

yeah but I got another mount

#

but I guess its just cosmetics

patent citrus
#

yeah others are just cosmetics

#

companion =/= mount

#

it just happen you can ride your company chocobo

polar flame
#

what about the skills on the chocobo

patent citrus
#

healer lv 10

polar flame
#

any other way to have it summoned without feeding it veggies?

whole wasp
#

Nope

patent citrus
#

no, just carry 999 gysahl green

polar flame
#

ah ok

whole wasp
#

Veggies are dirt cheap anyway

polar flame
#

thanks

#

can you max out all skill trees for your companion or do you have a limited number of SP?

proud willow
#

You get just enough to max out all 3 trees

polar flame
#

ah ok thanks

proud willow
#

You will need Thavnairian Onions to keep ranking up the chocobo though

patent citrus
#

yea after rank 10, you'll need that onion

#

per level

proud willow
#

they're kind of expensive, and you have no way to get them if you're still on the trial

polar flame
#

I'm not

whole wasp
#

A couple of quest gives them as rewards

polar flame
#

my chocobo is only rank 1 lul

whole wasp
#

But you gotta grow the rest yourself in a garden.

#

Most just buy it from marketboard. You wouldnt need it until rank 10 anyway.

polar flame
#

ok

#

so if i wanna use my chocobo as a healer

#

i just summon it and pop the healer stance

patent citrus
#

only pop healer stance if it's super tough fight

#

it will prevent your chocobo wasting animation to switch between attacking and healing

proud willow
#

Free stance is fine, it will heal you as you need it

polar flame
#

do I need to use a stance everytime?

#

or will it do stuff automatically?

patent citrus
#

healer stance will prevent your chocobo to do anything else beside healing

polar flame
#

so what is default? free stance?

patent citrus
#

yeah

whole wasp
#

Yup

polar flame
#

very poggers

#

i'll try it out

#

thank u

whole wasp
#

Afaik its below 50% they start healing you.

#

Then they heal to like 90% then ignore you again

opaque fiber
#

Is there going to be animated titania weapons sometimes? I'm not sure since if I remember right the first 2 trials in SB didn't have

whole wasp
#

Unlikely but possible

opaque fiber
#

Ah crap

#

But the 3 weapons will have, right?

whole wasp
#

3 weapons?

opaque fiber
#

ruby diamond and emerald

whole wasp
#

Im not sure either.

opaque fiber
#

Ah, guess gotta wait then

#

Thanks

whole wasp
#

Even then. Wouldnt the 4 lords from stormblood get it first.

opaque fiber
#

They have it

whole wasp
#

3 lords*

#

I derp

opaque fiber
#

😛

#

I think byakko recently released as the last one

leaden ginkgo
#

can we talk about the character playstyle variety? is the meta linear

shut panther
#

can you retake the resistance quests on the same class?

#

not to do them again on that class, obviously, but to keep the items dropping

#

before other classes catch uop

#

up

whole wasp
leaden ginkgo
shut panther
#

meta gear, yes

dense cliff
#

Hello all, I just chose Light Datacenter but am unsure which server to join, have literally no info on what are any of the cahracteristics of the server except that Lich has the most players and one of them is super Germna heavy

whole wasp
#

This gane has no gear variety so there is an objective BiS

shut panther
#

any content can be done with pretty much any combination of jobs though

whole wasp
#

But even then you can customise the materia to your liking so theres limited variety.

shut panther
#

each job has a single correct way to play it, alongside infinite non correct ones, obviously

#

err, I guess some have

#

technically like two

#

there's speed blm and crit blm

whole wasp
#

Mostly what flavour you like to play. For example, you can go Spellspeed BLM or Critical Hit BLM.

leaden ginkgo
#

is there a dps DRK

whole wasp
#

But they both wear the same gear. Just slight tweaks

#

Nope. DRK is tank

shut panther
#

I can't think of any other class that actually has distinct options besides that though

#

for everyone else there's basically the correct way and various bad ways to play them

#

like yeah, you can maximize your tenacity as a tank, and take less damage, but that is objectively inferior.

whole wasp
#

Hmmm. Minimal piety healer is kind of a playstyle too i think

shut panther
#

jobs have set roles -- drk is a tank and will never not be

whole wasp
#

Yea. Basically you are picking a role. And the specific jobs are just flavours of that role.

jade quartz
#

ShB primal crafted weapons should come at some point in the future. The only one missing from the trials up to SB is Susano.

shut panther
#

although I guess in bozja you can opt out of tanking as a tank, but bozja barely counts.

jade quartz
#

We finally got Zurvan and all the Four Lords ones

shut panther
#

bozja is weird abilities that don't make sense otherwise land.

jade quartz
#

There's just no apparent rhyme or reason to their release but they get around to them in time.

glossy flare
# leaden ginkgo is there a dps DRK

The next expansion will have the Reaper job which at least is somewhat close in terms of... darkness? That one's a dps but also about half a year away

leaden ginkgo
#

but with damage

glossy flare
#

welp, only drk has the big ass sword

jade quartz
#

Tanks do damage

#

All jobs in this game do significant damage

glossy flare
#

but yeah, every job is about dmg when you break it down

jade quartz
#

you're not at a disadvantage when questing by playing a tank or healer

glossy flare
#

It's not like you don't do cool shit with a big ass sword when playing drk

#

In fact... you do. All the time.

how is soken

yo soken alone makes me wanna pay thousands and abandon my college

dont do that. soken would want you to go to college

broken musk

college good

soken also has his (great) friends and families to take care of him

grizzled jetty
#

What’s best for 75-80 leveling?

#

Not bozjan please.

patent citrus
#

zadnor 😂

#

dungeon lols

grizzled jetty
#

Well critical engagements fail half the time so there’s that

gusty island
#

I'm guessing the answer is no, but --
Is there no way to respond to a tell with a trial account?
I don't like looking like I'm ignoring people 🙁

grizzled jetty
#

Either 20 people join in which is completion or 4 people and it’s a failure

leaden ginkgo
#

I'm having difficulty clearing the BLU content. is it because of my disability or the hardware?

honest anvil
#

In that case, either try bozja at peak times or check your instance’s activity. You might be in a ded one @grizzled jetty

grizzled jetty
grizzled jetty
honest anvil
#

ye bozja, zadnor, the eureka zones have instances

grizzled jetty
#

I thought it was just one

honest anvil
#

but there’s no guarantee you’ll join a different one

grizzled jetty
#

Instance per server or something

honest anvil
#

so gotta keep trying

#

i just know there are instances

#

not sure how they separate

grizzled jetty
#

It seems like no one is farming clusters either

#

Which I only really want for the mount speed

honest anvil
#

you can start your own cluster farm party

#

Do a shout in there

grizzled jetty
#

Don’t even know how it’s done

#

😂

honest anvil
#

there are guides all over youtube, google

whole wasp
honest anvil
#

there are spots to farm; one tank loads up on def boost stuff, go grab 2mil mobs and the rest spams strong aoes

leaden ginkgo
#

which would be easier to farm long term for tomestones: lvl 50 MSQ dungeons or ARF

#

because ARF doesn't guarantee a new player always

#

I just need a lot of tomestones rn

honest anvil
#

i think, you can do 1.8 arf in the time of 1 msq

dusky fox
#

hello im on crystal malboro, im a new player, are there any guilds that are active and taking in any new players or somewhere where i can find that

honest anvil
#

try a #recruitment channel

dusky fox
#

oh ok, ty

gusty island
#

On a different note, as leveling BLM in regards to F3 procs:
Since the window of time between seeing the proc come available and the next attack is so short, is it better to wait a short moment after each F1 to take advantage of the F3p immediately, or use F3p one attack "late"?

obsidian patio
glossy flare
#

You don't lose much if you use the proc late, unless you don't use it at all though

#

Might even be worth it to save the proc for movement since it's a free instant

leaden ginkgo
#

anyone knows when oceania data center will be released

obsidian patio
#

the problem basically disappears at level 60 with how the rotation changes from F1 spam to F4 spam with F1 as fire stance upkeep

gusty island
#

Oooh, I see

glossy flare
#

Which is probably gonna happen early 2022

leaden ginkgo
#

should i get started now as an oceania player, or wait until 6.1

jade quartz
#

Yes, if all goes according to the usual schedule then 6.1 will be in late February/March

glossy flare
#

most oceanic players right now play on certain JP worlds

whole wasp
#

either JP worlds or NA

leaden ginkgo
#

tonberry

glossy flare
#

so that would be your go to for if you wanna play right now

#

up to you if you wanna wait tbh

jade quartz
leaden ginkgo
#

i have to pay to move data centers right

whole wasp
#

JP worlds for the ping. NA worlds because everybody speaks english

glossy flare
#

Yes, though I imagine they will let people move to the new oceanic DC for free

#

for a limited time at least

leaden ginkgo
jade quartz
#

Literally every past DC addition.

leaden ginkgo
#

oh wow

jade quartz
#

Also every time a new world is added

leaden ginkgo
#

time to get started then

glossy flare
#

it only makes sense, they want to populate the DC too after all

leaden ginkgo
#

i feel like ffxiv is blooming like this month for no reason?

jade quartz
#

When they added the EU datacentre Chaos, when they did the NA datacentre reshuffle and added Crystal, and when they added the second EU datacentre Light.

whole wasp
#

rebalance the server load too ya

leaden ginkgo
#

Steam version vs normal. Which is best?

whole wasp
#

endwalker trailer dropped like 30 days ago. people are flocking back to prep for it too

glossy flare
whole wasp
glossy flare
#

which may affect sales

#

steam has less sales if that matters to you

leaden ginkgo
#

Oh?

#

Less huh

#

Are cosmetics expensive?

glossy flare
#

It's not like you are going to spend much money on that anyway, it's just sales on the game and expansions

#

any optional cosmetics or whatever go through mogstation

leaden ginkgo
#

Yea are they expensive?

glossy flare
#

Yes? No? Pretty subjective

#

None of the items on there are required or anything and are purely for the heck of it

leaden ginkgo
#

Alright hehe

#

I wanna look pwetty

glossy flare
#

I mean there are mounts north of 20 bucks on there, I'd call that expensive

#

But that's just me

leaden ginkgo
#

Can't wait to install the game

#

It is expensive

#

For 1 mount

#

I want costumes

#

Lots and lots of costumes

shut panther
#

Cosmetics range from a few dollars to like 50.

leaden ginkgo
shut panther
#

None of the outfits are more than $15, iirc

glossy flare
#

And, just for the record, you can look pretty dang amazing without spending any cash on there

shut panther
#

North of 15 is all mounts.

glossy flare
#

Not like everything beside the stuff in the shop is ugly

leaden ginkgo
#

Different costumes for different races or do they just look different?

Oh, $18 is maximum for outfits I guess

#

There's a single that race only set for each race

glossy flare
#

Clothes may look slightly different on different races but generally they are not locked to them

#

There are a select few gender locked pieces though

leaden ginkgo
#

Btw. If I get 1 outfit and make a new char. Will it carry over?

glossy flare
#

Depends, some purchases are accountwide, some are not

leaden ginkgo
#

Also. If I change my race none of the outfits will work?

shut panther
#

Outfits are mailed to every character and future characters, iirc

glossy flare
#

But: There is almost no need to make multiple characters

glossy flare
#

You can be all classes on just one character

shut panther
#

No, there's no race specific paid outfits

glossy flare
#

And can do all content on just one character too

leaden ginkgo
#

I wanna have a kitty char and dragon thing char

shut panther
#

But yeah, alts are not popular.

leaden ginkgo
shut panther
#

The game design general discourages them pretty hard.

leaden ginkgo
#

Idk if I should take a kitty char or a dragon char

obsidian patio
#

most outfit sets on the mogstation are character specific.

leaden ginkgo
#

Kitty or dragon?

glossy flare
shut panther
#

Oh really I did not know this.

glossy flare
#

So... just go with your gut

leaden ginkgo
#

Also can I change my appearance at any time?

midnight tinsel
leaden ginkgo
#

Sorry I am very new to the game

glossy flare
#

You can change hairstyles and other minor things for gil, the ingame currency

shut panther
#

No, Fantasia is $10

glossy flare
#

more substantial changes like race or gender would require cash

leaden ginkgo
#

I in fact haven't even installed it haha

shut panther
#

You can only do minor face stuff suppose from that

glossy flare
#

10 bucks

shut panther
#

You do get a single free appearance reroll

obsidian patio
#

in-game hair person is basically pocket change (2k gil)

glossy flare
#

oh wait you meant the ingame changes

#

no, that's not expensive at all

#

almost nothing

shut panther
#

The hair dresser (aesthetician) is absolutely trivial gil

leaden ginkgo
#

Oh awesome

Hello
I downloaded FF14 again, I have finished the free trial come months ago and now I cant even start to download the game because the launcher requires a key
I was under an impression that F2P content is always free and I could log in any time and only need to pay to progress further
The offical site is a mess

glossy flare
#

Did you download the trial launcher again?

shut panther
glossy flare
#

!faq freetrial

zinc orbitBOT
glossy flare
#

use that link if you're in doubt

midnight tinsel
#

also if you payed for the game then you cant play the free trial on that account again

#

so i think your impression is wrong if thats how you meant it ?

pallid depot
#

w8 isnt free just limited to lvl 60?

shut panther
#

There's a few other limits, but that's the main one yes

pallid depot
#

meaning that i cna play that character on several jobs to 60

shut panther
#

That's correct

pallid depot
#

or is it locked for play time too?

shut panther
#

No

hard aurora
#

Nah, unlimited play time

#

which is quite nice

midnight tinsel
#

but if you like buy the game

#

and your sub runs out

pallid depot
#

so i sohuld be able to download trial client, install and play again

oak ice
#

There's a guy in this discord with 757 and counting free hours

glossy flare
#

If you never spend money then yes

shut panther
#

As long as you've never added the paid version of the game, you can play forever without paying

midnight tinsel
#

you cant just play the free trial up to 60

#

on that account

leaden ginkgo
#

Is sub still a thing?????

midnight tinsel
#

@leaden ginkgoyes ?

shut panther
#

It's a subscription based game, yes?

hard aurora
#

There’s a sub option, yea. Just pay to add time to the game.

leaden ginkgo
#

Do I get the expansions if I sub?

midnight tinsel
#

no

shut panther
#

No

hard aurora
#

Nah.

midnight tinsel
#

its like WoW

leaden ginkgo
#

The fk

shut panther
#

Pay to pay to play.

hard aurora
#

I’d recommend purchasing the complete edition if you enjoy the free trial version though

leaden ginkgo
#

How much is a sub

leaden ginkgo
#

What are the benefit?

#

After I buy it. Do I have to pay for my in game time?

hard aurora
#

Comes with all the latest DLC’s ontop of the base game, which is worth your money.

shut panther
#

Subscription is 12.99 a month

midnight tinsel
#

@leaden ginkgoyes

barren granite
#

shoot i hid my chat windows aznd now they all gone. How to get themn back ?

hard aurora
#

Once you buy the game, you get free 30 days, and an extra 15 if you get to level 30 on your first character @leaden ginkgo

shut panther
#

Whether you believe it is worth your money is best discovered with the free trial.

hard aurora
#

Mmhm.

#

I would say, do take your time.

obsidian patio
hard aurora
#

I myself though, really enjoy it lol

leaden ginkgo
#

Just this

glossy flare
#

you would want the complete edition

hard aurora
#

Complete edition will yield everything you need.

glossy flare
#

third from the top

hard aurora
#

It’s very much worth if you enjoy the game.

leaden ginkgo
#

Can I sub from steam?

shut panther
#

Just.. Make use of the free trial.

glossy flare
#

Bear in mind that the trial and the starter edition are exactly the same in terms of content

barren granite
#

nm i got it, just had to hit enter heh

glossy flare
#

the trial just comes with certain restrictions... but is free

hard aurora
#

Steam can be used to pay, yes, on the mogstation website there is an option for that @leaden ginkgo

shut panther
#

You can do everything from steam, yes

midnight tinsel
#

@glossy flare i think you meant standard

#

not complete

glossy flare
#

right

midnight tinsel
#

cause complete and trial definitely not the same

leaden ginkgo
#

Best starting solo class? I wanna be flashy

glossy flare

warm snow

Doesn't matter

glossy flare

!faq meta

zinc orbitBOT

How FFXIV's Meta Works

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

midnight tinsel
#

arcanist ?

warm snow
#

Cuz nothing starts flashy

glossy flare
#

and what's flashy depends on your tastes

midnight tinsel
#

cause you get a healer as well for fast dungeon queues

shut panther
#

Flashy? Black mage has the biggest booms.

midnight tinsel
#

whitemage literally flashbangs your face with every holy cast xD

shut panther
#

Summoners get large summons.

hard aurora
#

@leaden ginkgo Really depends on what you want, but nothing is the ‘best’ since everything is pretty balanced. In terms of flash, Black Mage is basically megumin, and whitemage blinds your party lol

shut panther
#

White mages literally yeah that.

midnight tinsel
#

paladin also gets alot of big flashy spells

glossy flare
#

all jobs have big flashy effects in the end though, some just bigger than others

#

no real subtle jobs out there

#

even Ninja, ironically

shut panther
#

Warrior has fell cleave.

leaden ginkgo
#

And not archer. Cuz fuck archer

hard aurora
#

I’d say Red Mage, but thats locked until level 50 with DLC’s purchased.

glossy flare
#

Dancer then, but you can't start as dancer

hard aurora
#

Dancer is really fun tbh

leaden ginkgo
#

should I find a linkshell for hunt trains?

shut panther
#

Dragoon probably fits the bill best.

leaden ginkgo
#

I'm not a really social person and don't have many friends

#

Black mage just kinda stands still right?

shut panther
#

But yeah, nothing is flashy early level.

glossy flare
hard aurora
#

Black Mage is about positioning, big booms and dps.

leaden ginkgo
#

but I need tomestones and I've done my daily roulettes

hard aurora
#

Dragoon is about being cool, mobile and dps.

glossy flare
#

and dragons 🐲

barren granite
#

are we able to change the UI for the parameter bar ?

hard aurora
#

Yuh

leaden ginkgo
#

should I find a linkshell for hunt trains tho

shut panther
glossy flare
#

either would work

leaden ginkgo
#

Thanks everyone

#

Dm me if you wanna chat. For now. Movie time

hard aurora
#

Just remember you can switch classes at any time once you reach like, level 15 or smth @leaden ginkgo

#

Enjoy :3

glossy flare
#

lvl 10

#

but yeah

leaden ginkgo
#

but I'm not good with social stuff and I play on a server with a different timezone from me acutally

glossy flare
#

that's fine, hunt discords and linkshells just send out alerts when a train is happening

#

so you can tag along without much social interaction

vague ivy
#

one question, i reached shiva ||(eden)|| and did her, now i need to continue the msq to unlock the rest of ||eden|| up to 12, does anyone know which patch that is? 5.3? 5.5?

leaden ginkgo
#

5.4

#

idk man

vague ivy
#

so pretty much the end?

#

i was just wondering

glossy flare
#

wasn't it 5.3?

#

and no, not the end, there's still a bit left

shut panther
#

No, 5.3 was nier 2

glossy flare
#

ohhh right

pallid depot
#

Ok thx I amanged to start downloading trial client again
I have couple other question, if someone has a time to answer :D

  1. is there a TO DO list in F2P content which is GOOD to have when you purchase the game? Like I remeber there being something called retainer but i have no idea waht it is
  2. This is more important, about a purchase. Is it good to wait for endwalker to release because there will be a full FF14 bundle for a good price?
    cuz now its 40 then another 25 for 60 days and another 35 for ednwalker which is expensive alot
vague ivy
#

so 5.5?

glossy flare
#

no, 5.4

vague ivy
#

you need to still buy thr starter edition if you buy endwalker

#

cant just jump from trial to full game

#

and thanks!

glossy flare
#

you can via the complete edition

shut panther
#

If it doesn't, cheapest option would be to wait until endwalker is added to complete edition yeah

#

Which is probably on release

#

I don't think you can use retainers on trial

stuck flame

I finished the starlight celebration quest last year, but the item from it doesn't show up in calamity salvager shop, is that how it's supposed to work?

Hello, i have some questions regarding crafting, I got lost a bit.
Can someone explain how do I augment my skysteel tool?
Can i use aesthetes offhand from MP or i get a relic offhand aswell later on?
Should I focus on getting 500ilvl gear pieces for white scripts or try get full aesthetes gear?

shut panther
#

If you close the downloader it should continue from where you leave it iirc

pallid depot
shut panther
#

There's no relic off hand tool

#

The last question depends on what you intend to do, and what you Gil looks like

stable grail
#

i got a skysteel frypan 440ilvl, i just a bit confused as to how i augment it

shut panther
#

Because aesthete's is only better with the help of melding

#

There should be a quest giver near the manufactory

stable grail
#

my gil is just as much as there is sand in a cupcake, meaning none

shut panther
#

I would not recommend trying to do aesthete's without it.

is HQ exarchic set enough to do end-game content?

jovial summit
#

Hi, i just bought the game online, says it comes with 30days free game time included but i didnt get it cus i did a free trial years ago. anyway to get the 30 days or am i shit out of luck?

you should still get the free 30 days

#

trial or not

shut panther

#

ive been trying to contact support but stil havent got any response

honest anvil
#

It’s the weekend ¯_(ツ)_/¯

patent citrus
#

how do i check which hairstyle i unlocked?

stable grail
shut panther
#

Basically pickup groups don't want to deal with people dealing the absolute bare minimum, so they expect you to at least upgrade it to 520 these days

dense bronze
patent citrus
#

why do you need to switch role?

shut panther
#

In a static people would be understanding of that situation

#

And also, 520 gear is not limited at all at this point

honest anvil
#

ye there’s no reason to not be i520

glossy flare
#

yeah, having augmented exarchic is pretty easy

shut panther
#

Basically at 5.4 release, nobody would've thought twice about the exarchic gear. Now there's no reason to be under 520, so that is expected as the minimum entry point.

#

For the most part.

potent shoal
#

can someone explain how to get skybuilders mats?

shut panther
#

gather in diadem

#

ignore any crafting recipes that aren't grade 4, they don't exist anymore

potent shoal
#

and anything that is in my book is stuff I Can actually make?

shut panther
#

the book has the old grades for the purpose of confusing people unused old mats

#

but you should ignore them

#

you gather in diadem and turn the materials in to the inspector, then you can use the approved materials in crafts

How strange is it that I only like playing tanks and heals in this game? DPS just seems to bore me

@patent citrus Well I had an account that was lost thanks to gmails shoddy support... But I had around a lvl 60+ in stormblood and it was the same case then. I had a summoner that was 65 and a machinist at 67. But my tanks and healers were maxed

patent citrus
#

so last time you played in stormblood?

leaden ginkgo
#

Pretty much

patent citrus
#

well it doesn't work like it was

#

i heard it's huge rework, so you gotta try it yourself again

but feel free to try another role, you might find it better

how different is an endgame DRK compared to another with the same job

I think DRK is "kinda" similiar to WAR

comparing to players

but still different

leaden ginkgo

comparing with players with same class

just questioninng individuality and variety

I don't get you, sorry

You mean like if there is variety in how you can play a certain job?

leaden ginkgo
#

ok, lets say that i have the ultimate gear for DRK and the other guy does too

#

how do i differentiate from him

heavy wadi
#

you don’t

glossy flare
#

Not at all

heavy wadi
#

classes play the same

glossy flare
#

Every job has one optimal way to play and a million non optimal ones

heavy wadi
#

there’s no such thing as “style of play” in this game

leaden ginkgo
#

so we play so hard just to be some equal?

gaunt grail
#

Pretty much

glossy flare
#

To be fair, some jobs have rotations with slight variations but for the most part there is a good and a lot of bad ways to play a job

#

player skill is still an important factor obviously

#

Just because you have the gear doesn't mean you also have the skill

manic rune

copper hound

hey, im somewhat new lvl 60 and in HW and never really joined a free company. My background is wow where a most guilds are formed to do a certain thing, mostly raiding. Afaik in FF that is instead done via just static friendslist type groups of people instead of FC. So what reasons are there to join FC or do they function more like clans in say Destiny where they are a group out of which LFGs and statics form

manic rune
#

gear is important, but good gear doesn’t make you a good player

glossy flare
manic rune
#

FCs also have various buffs

glossy flare
#

Groups of likeminded peeps who hang out together

manic rune
#

like exp buffs, food timer buffs, teleport fee reduction buffs

#

some bigger fcs host social events and giveaways and the like

glossy flare
#

There's also FC housing and some activities related to that

manic rune
#

you’re not forced to really participate or contribute anything if you don’t want to

glossy flare
#

Anyway, FCs are in no way required

#

Join one if you like or don't, you won't miss anything essential

copper hound
#

99% of FCs ive seen were just blanked invite farmers which is fine if i just want the xp buff which i didnt know existed lol, but is it unusual that statics etc form out of the FC? because it so far sounds like basically a discord server

#

basically

#

but ingame

glossy flare
#

an FC may or may not have a static

#

maybe even multiple statics

#

or a static may consist of people from multiple FCs

manic rune
#

it depends on the fc and their individual playstyle

#

some fcs may be more raid oriented and some not

glossy flare
#

the analogy with a discord server is not that far off the mark though

#

But yeah, an FC is whatever people make them tbh

copper hound
#

i see

glossy flare
#

Like I am in a 5 person FC, all people I know in real life

#

no other member of my static is part of my FC

manic rune
#

in contrast, three of the main leaders in my fc used to be in a static together

#

it all depends

#

you can hop around different fcs and see what sticks, and you can also just play without an fc if you want

random dune
#

#

patent citrus
#

raven sage
#

random dune
#

If it goes over 48 then consider the priority pass to ensure you’ll join

leaden ginkgo
obsidian patio
#

Assuming you didn’t get the priority pass from doing the skirmish that spawns it if applicable

leaden ginkgo
#

i mean there's nothing special about cluster just cosmatics right ?

obsidian patio
#

You can make good money off the cosmetics

#

All of them are tradeable besides 1-3 things

leaden ginkgo
#

hmmm

obsidian patio
#

Also they’re a source of fragments for lost actions

heavy wadi
#

the emotes sell especially well

leaden ginkgo
#

ok thanks man

patent citrus
#

why there's npc gears (255 ilvl) in HW? and Shire is only 270?

#

was it like that in HW? the raid gear is lower ilvl than the npc gears

#

or is it become like that when SB is launched?

faint flare
#

The npc geae came after and os still significantly weaker than any lv60 gear

patent citrus
#

yeah, but I can save poetics. ok ty ty

faint flare
#

No, it's literally trash

#

Would it be suggested to skip ARR for a new player with extensive exp from other MMOs? Heard that it can be quite slow, and perhaps offputting for that reason

patent citrus
#

I wouldn't

potent shoal
#

I wouldn't either

heavy wadi
#

I wouldn’t.

faint flare
#

No

potent shoal
#

if you could skip up to level 30, then maybe?

leaden ginkgo
#

how do i get the rogue class

faint flare
#

It's necessary world building

potent shoal
#

true

#

Eh. It depends on how much you care about the story. Some folks join more for endgame, and it speeds up the process.

digital eagle
#

Alright, cheers. Is there an estimated time taken to play through ARR?

hard parrot
#

I’d say you should give it a try, though.

glossy flare
#

Depending on which job you started as you may need to complete a certain amount of msq to get to limsa

faint flare
#

40 hours total only doing mandatory stuff

#

Is there a LFG tab or something? Or a place to find people to play with?

glossy flare

Thanks

#

you don't have to wait at the dungeon entrance

stable grail
#

Whats best food for physical damage dealers?

glossy flare
#

If there is a follow up quest after the dungeon you will be teleported there once you complete it

stable grail
#

or dps in general

glossy flare
#

but now you can go wherever you want

glossy flare
random dune
#

@glossy flare i think the issue is that the ifrit instance entrance is like in the middle of nowhere so i dont think he can get out? unless he tps out i guess?

glossy flare
#

you can always walk out somehow, you're never locked in or anything

feral carbon
#

I need 21 more tomes for the Serpent of Ringa. Fastest way to farm?

faint flare
#

Hades ex

tropic turtle
#

i can tp out. not sure if i can get here though without finishing the quest yet

glossy flare
#

you dont need to get there again

faint flare
#

You don't need to be there

gritty oracle
glossy flare
#

once the queue pops you can teleport into the dungeon and when that finishes it will put you right where the quest needs you

#

so no need to stick around

warm snow
#

You can talk to him if you don't want to teleport, it really doesn't matter

#

I was playing chrysalis.. Now my game does no sounds

shut panther
#

I don't think skipping ARR is a terrible idea if you have MMO experience and do not care so much about the story

#

and/or can be satisfied by youtube/reading about it

#

much of ARR is incredibly slow to play and if you've got mmo experience you're unlikely to be worse than the average duty finder member at level 50 for very long

im thinking bout to buy the game, are there diffs between steam and square?

glossy flare
#

almost none

shut panther
#

basically, you can only ever pay using whichever you use

glossy flare
#

Steam would allow you to pay your sub via steam wallet

shut panther
#

for things like dlc etc

#

square seems to have more sales than steam

glossy flare
#

but yeah, whatever you choose you will be stuck to that for any future purchases

leaden ginkgo
#

If wanted to start working on getting a resistance weapon, do I need to have done all the weapon questlines?

glossy flare
#

no

#

relics are all separate

shut panther
#

to start the resistance questline you need to complete the stormblood 24 man line

#

nothing else is relevant

#

assuming you've completed msq, that is

glossy flare
#

up to 5.1 at least

leaden ginkgo
#

Ah, I've not done any alliance raids since Crystal Tower series. That's a rip. Thanks for the answers o/

shut panther
#

the stormblood raids are.. a lot better.

glossy flare
#

compared to the timesink the resistance weapons would be the return to ivalice raids are nothing 😄

#

So yeah, just do them in a day or so

shut panther
#

yeah.. there's a step in the resistance questline that has you do about 40 40 man raids so

leaden ginkgo
#

It's less a matter of me caring about a timesink as it does me being allergic to partying with people lately 674362385229807631

#

What

#

That's a no from me LMAO

shut panther
#

alternatively you can do

#

far more fates

glossy flare
#

I think technically you can do most of the resistance weapon steps solo

shut panther
#

yeah, relic weapons are not something to be done on a whim

glossy flare
#

Not all, but most

#

Will take longer than the optimal route though

shut panther
#

it'd be pretty massively detrimental

#

the idea of doing timeworn solo potd lol

#

5,6 are lvl 70, 7,8 are 80

shut panther
#

can anyone tell me if you can retake resistance weapon quests on the same class

#

I want to keep it in my log to continue collecting items but I don't have another class at that point yet

glossy flare
#

You can at different steps I think

heavy wadi
#

you can have numerous steps active but once you finish a step for a wep, you cannot go back/restart the quest

devout lichen
#

can you buy a certain number of something on the market board

#

so I dont have to buy all 9000 of the wind crystals when I need 6

heavy wadi
#

no

#

you'd need to buy a stack of 6

#

and people sell crystals in bulk

#

just go gather them lol

glossy flare
#

Yeah you can only buy it like it is listed

restive talon
#

Does this mean I can't even get any of the cards or minions that drop at the end of the raid until the reset?

glossy flare
#

So unless someone lists 6 crystals you're out of lock

crystal bluff
#

@restive talon you can roll for anything that isn't equipment
