You basically assign one DPS from both groups to float to the other pair of enumeration if one trio has both enumerations
Gives me an error that I am not licensed for this version of the game
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
when did you make this account
if they're 100% separate then yes.
if that was to me then thank you
Did you download the demo/trial launcher for steam?
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
Thank you all for the help have a great day
Yes
okay so that rules out any of those accounts having been used in the past, so that's not the issue
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
You need to log in to be able to download the game from the launcher
okay, that is what you mean. excuse me
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
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
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
?
Sorry, had to make a picture
Np!
free trial accounts don't have that i believe? doesn't hurt to check though
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
violet, over in mogstation when it says "standard", what does it say
on, idk, the last account you made
It says free trial
yeah i'm starting to figure out why you were frustrated as fuck earlier
So I need to make an account first?
If you have an account, no. You just need to tell the mogstation that you're using the steam version with the CDkey
After 3 calls being logged with support and them just closing the calls. Yeah.
No trials, or tutorials. Nothing
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
Kinda needed a steam ff14 account. That is the issue.
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
So I need to make an accounr first?
It doesn't normally take you to the login screen before then
Hmmm ill try that
It did with me.
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
It would be more than 10 times what I normally play
ah okay, figured it was ridiculous
this appears to be the exact issue
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
i'm looking into why this step was bypassed for registering your account
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
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
So I need to link the cd key to an existing account?
How do I link it in the mog station?
it's a rather old thread so i'm not sure how accurate that is
no cd key
You're an angel
You just have to create an account through the launcher
which means resetting it back to where it asks you to create an account
hiten seems to be on the right track, i'm getting the same hits as they are
It's a new install
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
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
Whatcha mean
Is the only way to get Defragmented Tomestone from Edens Promise: Eternity (Blade of lost Antiq.)?
unless you do savage, then yes.
thats a p[ainfl grind
well, not really
it's simple content for 10 minutes once a week
for, uh, 4 weeks?
sorry again how do i get higher rank with my GC
https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Company_Rank depends on your rank
stuck here
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
Ohhh sorry
hold up, you telling me i can only get 1 blade per week?
I have multiple jobs i need weapons for... that's one way to stretch your "game content"
That's to get to Second Lieutenant, yap
Thank you so much
And then you just need those 2 quests and you get the highest rank possible for now
yes, it's weekly locked
you'll either have to wait quite a while, or do diamond weapon ex or savage to get other kinds of ilvl relevant weapons
so log and that door
You already did the log I think, you need the 2nd log to get Second Lieutenant, so you should only need squadrons
it's not the only kind of weapon you're expected to get at max
what's diamond weapon ex.? I don't have the time nor will to deal with elite content and groups.
then don't expect elite weapons
extreme trial
you can just finish relic
ah ok thank you btw can you get to champion? or does it take a lot to do?
Diamond Weapon Ex = Extreme Trial
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
It isn't unlocked for anyone yet, we need to progress through the story in the next expansions
Currently the highest is captain as far as I know
ohh ok thank you
Np
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
Relic then i guess. I did one relic to iLevel 500, that seemed to be doable and not capped, but next stages become ridiculous again.
nothing in relic is capped. expect a grind
frankly, for close-to-ilvl-cap weapons you're expected to pull your finger out in some way
since i feel i never spent any GC seals
yeah i noticed, i prefer grind over caps, at least i can play for the monthly fee i pay 😉
How do you get the wind-up succubus minion? It's cute
500 allied seals from hunt
bought with allied seals from doing the Grand Company Hunting board.
Never done that, so I've no idea he w that works
first you need to be 2nd Lieutenant of your grand company
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
am i ok to post a discord link to one?
sure
hunt discords are linked in #resources
oh sorry
Ok thanks
you got the Faloop one which is really good
yeah, spot the S, go there quickly, wait for people and ask for party, kill 5 times
that should be 500 allied seals
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?
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
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?
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

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?
afaik yes
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
the dungeons are random chance i think

dungeons after maps are random chance except one type
does all maps give this chance?
which is thief's map has a guaranteed chance to spawn the dungeon
the other maps are all random chance
ohhh nice thanks, and no minimum party size?
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.
no but generally bring a couple more people for the lvl 80 maps
Thank you guys so much for the info!!
What would be Aerith's job in ffxiv?
white mage
What are the chances I will get to create a character in tonberry at 4 in the morning
very high
Are blue quests only found around Aetherite like in cities?
Will i be lead to quests like that through the class quests before hand?
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.
!faq glamour
'What is Glamour and how do I unlock it?'
Glamour is the process of changing an equipment's look into a different item with the use of Glamour Prisms. You can unlock the ability to glamour by doing the level 15 quests 'If I Had a Glamour' in Vesper Bay, West Thanalan. Although not required, you can unlock the ability to dye gear with the nearby quest 'Color Your World'. You can get the Orange Juice needed by talking to the nearby Merchant & Mender. Items used for glamouring are not lost upon use.
'How do I glamour? Where do I get more Prisms?'
Glamouring is done by right-clicking (Square or X on controllers) on the equipment you want to glamour and choosing the option 'Cast Glamour'. After clicking this you choose the item you want the appearance on the right half of the menu that opened up. You can get more Glamour Prisms by either crafting them after completing the quest 'Absolutely Glamourous', buying them from your Grand Company Quartermaster, or buying them from the marketboard.
thanks
if I use my Fantasia, does it get consumed then, or not until I confirm my changes?
it gets consumed immediately
and you will then have a button on your login screen to change the character
Ohh, okay I got it.
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
mechanics in generally tend not to have tutorials 
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
what are some useful quests to do as a beginner? I heard about the challenge log, anything else?
but aside from that, it's not taught. It just starts showing up
I'm level 39 currently
My Feisty Little Chocobo, in South Shroud
oh yeah I got the chocobo
for the combat chocobo
is it actually useful?
very, lol
Hey
it's extra damage, plus some small heals if you choose the healing tree
So I should just have my chocobo out at all time?
yeah if you are doing open world quest
Yeah, there's no downside to having it out
let the chocobo heal you, you just do DPS
Helps u solo more overworld content
do you know which servercan I choose to play with french people?
moggle
The Regen is nice on a tank class
even for healer class it's good
I want the chocobo to tank
don't do that
so i can burst em down with fire
they don't have armor
Moogle (on the Chaos DC) has the highest concentration of French players
you tank it yourself, let them heal you
yeah others are just cosmetics
companion =/= mount
it just happen you can ride your company chocobo
what about the skills on the chocobo
healer lv 10
any other way to have it summoned without feeding it veggies?
Nope
no, just carry 999 gysahl green
ah ok
Veggies are dirt cheap anyway
thanks
can you max out all skill trees for your companion or do you have a limited number of SP?
You get just enough to max out all 3 trees
ah ok thanks
You will need Thavnairian Onions to keep ranking up the chocobo though
they're kind of expensive, and you have no way to get them if you're still on the trial
I'm not
A couple of quest gives them as rewards
my chocobo is only rank 1 lul
But you gotta grow the rest yourself in a garden.
Most just buy it from marketboard. You wouldnt need it until rank 10 anyway.
ok
so if i wanna use my chocobo as a healer
i just summon it and pop the healer stance
only pop healer stance if it's super tough fight
it will prevent your chocobo wasting animation to switch between attacking and healing
Free stance is fine, it will heal you as you need it
healer stance will prevent your chocobo to do anything else beside healing
so what is default? free stance?
yeah
Yup
Afaik its below 50% they start healing you.
Then they heal to like 90% then ignore you again
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
Unlikely but possible
3 weapons?
ruby diamond and emerald
Im not sure either.
Even then. Wouldnt the 4 lords from stormblood get it first.
They have it
can we talk about the character playstyle variety? is the meta linear
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
Not sure what you mean but there are no specs. The job and role doesnt change. Warrior is always tank and nothing else for example.
i mean is there meta gear and meta combo that ruins variety
meta gear, yes
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
This gane has no gear variety so there is an objective BiS
any content can be done with pretty much any combination of jobs though
But even then you can customise the materia to your liking so theres limited variety.
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
Mostly what flavour you like to play. For example, you can go Spellspeed BLM or Critical Hit BLM.
is there a dps DRK
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.
Hmmm. Minimal piety healer is kind of a playstyle too i think
jobs have set roles -- drk is a tank and will never not be
Yea. Basically you are picking a role. And the specific jobs are just flavours of that role.
ShB primal crafted weapons should come at some point in the future. The only one missing from the trials up to SB is Susano.
although I guess in bozja you can opt out of tanking as a tank, but bozja barely counts.
We finally got Zurvan and all the Four Lords ones
bozja is weird abilities that don't make sense otherwise land.
There's just no apparent rhyme or reason to their release but they get around to them in time.
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
i just wanna rp guts man
but with damage
welp, only drk has the big ass sword
but yeah, every job is about dmg when you break it down
you're not at a disadvantage when questing by playing a tank or healer
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.

dont do that. soken would want you to go to college
college good
college is kinda expensive but worth it in the end
Well critical engagements fail half the time so there’s that
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 🙁
Either 20 people join in which is completion or 4 people and it’s a failure
I'm having difficulty clearing the BLU content. is it because of my disability or the hardware?
In that case, either try bozja at peak times or check your instance’s activity. You might be in a ded one @grizzled jetty
Weird cause I tried going in at 8pm last night same deal really
But if you’re telling me there’s multiple instances then maybe just leave and join another one
ye bozja, zadnor, the eureka zones have instances
I thought it was just one
but there’s no guarantee you’ll join a different one
Instance per server or something
It seems like no one is farming clusters either
Which I only really want for the mount speed
there are guides all over youtube, google
if you can find them. just use normal chat. you can have a private chat by asking them to invite you to a party and use party chat
there are spots to farm; one tank loads up on def boost stuff, go grab 2mil mobs and the rest spams strong aoes
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
i think, you can do 1.8 arf in the time of 1 msq
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
try a #recruitment channel
oh ok, ty
thanks
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"?
generally better to use F3P after the next fire.
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
anyone knows when oceania data center will be released
the problem basically disappears at level 60 with how the rotation changes from F1 spam to F4 spam with F1 as fire stance upkeep
Oooh, I see
with patch 6.1 as far as we know
Which is probably gonna happen early 2022
should i get started now as an oceania player, or wait until 6.1
Yes, if all goes according to the usual schedule then 6.1 will be in late February/March
most oceanic players right now play on certain JP worlds
either JP worlds or NA
tonberry
so that would be your go to for if you wanna play right now
up to you if you wanna wait tbh
No harm in starting now. In the past Square Enix have always offered free world transfers when adding new datacentres.
i have to pay to move data centers right
JP worlds for the ping. NA worlds because everybody speaks english
Yes, though I imagine they will let people move to the new oceanic DC for free
for a limited time at least
do you remember which was the new dc during that attempt
Literally every past DC addition.
oh wow
Also every time a new world is added
time to get started then
it only makes sense, they want to populate the DC too after all
i feel like ffxiv is blooming like this month for no reason?
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.
rebalance the server load too ya
Steam version vs normal. Which is best?
endwalker trailer dropped like 30 days ago. people are flocking back to prep for it too
no difference, but you are stuck to whatever platform you choose
steam if you have and want to use steam wallet. else, doesnt matter
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
Yea are they expensive?
Yes? No? Pretty subjective
None of the items on there are required or anything and are purely for the heck of it
I mean there are mounts north of 20 bucks on there, I'd call that expensive
But that's just me
Can't wait to install the game
It is expensive
For 1 mount
I want costumes
Lots and lots of costumes
Cosmetics range from a few dollars to like 50.
Crazy
None of the outfits are more than $15, iirc
And, just for the record, you can look pretty dang amazing without spending any cash on there
North of 15 is all mounts.
Not like everything beside the stuff in the shop is ugly
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
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
Btw. If I get 1 outfit and make a new char. Will it carry over?
Depends, some purchases are accountwide, some are not
Also. If I change my race none of the outfits will work?
Outfits are mailed to every character and future characters, iirc
But: There is almost no need to make multiple characters
Thank god
You can be all classes on just one character
No, there's no race specific paid outfits
And can do all content on just one character too
I wanna have a kitty char and dragon thing char
But yeah, alts are not popular.
That's good
The game design general discourages them pretty hard.
Idk if I should take a kitty char or a dragon char
most outfit sets on the mogstation are character specific.
Kitty or dragon?
Races technically have different stats but they do not matter. At all.
Oh really I did not know this.
So... just go with your gut
Also can I change my appearance at any time?
thats not fully right you can only do the 1-15 msq per char so to get the other cities stories youd have to make alts
Sorry I am very new to the game
You can change hairstyles and other minor things for gil, the ingame currency
No, Fantasia is $10
more substantial changes like race or gender would require cash
I in fact haven't even installed it haha
You can only do minor face stuff suppose from that
Expensive?
10 bucks
You do get a single free appearance reroll
in-game hair person is basically pocket change (2k gil)
oh wait you meant the ingame changes
no, that's not expensive at all
almost nothing
The hair dresser (aesthetician) is absolutely trivial gil
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
Did you download the trial launcher again?
You probably downloaded the wrong client -- free trial is its own client
!faq freetrial
use that link if you're in doubt
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 ?
w8 isnt free just limited to lvl 60?
There's a few other limits, but that's the main one yes
meaning that i cna play that character on several jobs to 60
That's correct
or is it locked for play time too?
No
so i sohuld be able to download trial client, install and play again
There's a guy in this discord with 757 and counting free hours
If you never spend money then yes
As long as you've never added the paid version of the game, you can play forever without paying
Is sub still a thing?????
@leaden ginkgoyes ?
It's a subscription based game, yes?
There’s a sub option, yea. Just pay to add time to the game.
Do I get the expansions if I sub?
no
No
Nah.
its like WoW
The fk
Pay to pay to play.
I’d recommend purchasing the complete edition if you enjoy the free trial version though
How much is a sub
Why
What are the benefit?
After I buy it. Do I have to pay for my in game time?
Comes with all the latest DLC’s ontop of the base game, which is worth your money.
Subscription is 12.99 a month
@leaden ginkgoyes
shoot i hid my chat windows aznd now they all gone. How to get themn back ?
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
Whether you believe it is worth your money is best discovered with the free trial.
*only if you make a character on a preferred world and buy the game before hitting 30.
I myself though, really enjoy it lol
So if I buy this I have all content?
Just this
you would want the complete edition
Complete edition will yield everything you need.
third from the top
It’s very much worth if you enjoy the game.
Can I sub from steam?
Just.. Make use of the free trial.
Bear in mind that the trial and the starter edition are exactly the same in terms of content
nm i got it, just had to hit enter heh
the trial just comes with certain restrictions... but is free
Steam can be used to pay, yes, on the mogstation website there is an option for that @leaden ginkgo
You can do everything from steam, yes
right
cause complete and trial definitely not the same
Best starting solo class? I wanna be flashy
in general...
Doesn't matter
!faq meta
arcanist ?
Cuz nothing starts flashy
and what's flashy depends on your tastes
cause you get a healer as well for fast dungeon queues
Flashy? Black mage has the biggest booms.
whitemage literally flashbangs your face with every holy cast xD
Summoners get large summons.
@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
White mages literally yeah that.
paladin also gets alot of big flashy spells
all jobs have big flashy effects in the end though, some just bigger than others
no real subtle jobs out there
even Ninja, ironically
Warrior has fell cleave.
I want flashy with mobility
And not archer. Cuz fuck archer
I’d say Red Mage, but thats locked until level 50 with DLC’s purchased.
Dancer then, but you can't start as dancer
Dancer is really fun tbh
should I find a linkshell for hunt trains?
Dragoon probably fits the bill best.
I'm not a really social person and don't have many friends
Black mage just kinda stands still right?
But yeah, nothing is flashy early level.
Same...
yup, as much as possible
Black Mage is about positioning, big booms and dps.
Yay
but I need tomestones and I've done my daily roulettes
Dragoon is about being cool, mobile and dps.
and dragons 🐲
are we able to change the UI for the parameter bar ?
Yuh
Def my class then
should I find a linkshell for hunt trains tho
you can, or you can join a hunt discord
either would work
Just remember you can switch classes at any time once you reach like, level 15 or smth @leaden ginkgo
Enjoy :3
but I'm not good with social stuff and I play on a server with a different timezone from me acutally
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
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?
No, 5.3 was nier 2
ohhh right
Ok thx I amanged to start downloading trial client again
I have couple other question, if someone has a time to answer :D
- 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
- 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
so 5.5?
no, 5.4
you need to still buy thr starter edition if you buy endwalker
cant just jump from trial to full game
and thanks!
you can via the complete edition
There's a good chance it goes on sale again before endwalker releases, unfortunately you just missed a big sale
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
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?
mostly the house items
Only gear does afaik?
You cant pause the download nor can you limit the speed :D is this real?
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?
If you close the downloader it should continue from where you leave it iirc
there is only cancel or exit the launcher
You'll get a quest to upgrade the skysteel tool after you get one
There's no relic off hand tool
The last question depends on what you intend to do, and what you Gil looks like
i got a skysteel frypan 440ilvl, i just a bit confused as to how i augment it
Because aesthete's is only better with the help of melding
There should be a quest giver near the manufactory
my gil is just as much as there is sand in a cupcake, meaning none
I would not recommend trying to do aesthete's without it.
is HQ exarchic set enough to do end-game content?
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?
Yes and no -- the content was absolutely done in it, but it's rare groups will accept people with only it these days
ive been trying to contact support but stil havent got any response
It’s the weekend ¯_(ツ)_/¯
how do i check which hairstyle i unlocked?
you should be able to get the trial free sub if your acc was still flaged as a trial acc, without any upgrades/subs i think
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
I see, I just wonder ppl who switch roles in a static, how can they farm gear for multiple jobs with weekly capped tomes/loot? each role has completely different gear set
why do you need to switch role?
In a static people would be understanding of that situation
And also, 520 gear is not limited at all at this point
ye there’s no reason to not be i520
yeah, having augmented exarchic is pretty easy
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.
can someone explain how to get skybuilders mats?
gather in diadem
ignore any crafting recipes that aren't grade 4, they don't exist anymore
and anything that is in my book is stuff I Can actually make?
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
even if the moogle event ends i can buy stuffs later on with the leftover tomes right?
or do i need to spend before it ends
o
i c
hello, new here. I wondering if I can still do the dragonsong and post dragon song msq even in free trial?
Okay, thank you very much. 🙂
think they'll ever add hrothgar and viera to squdron recruits?

is there any way to tell how much an market item will boost ilvl before buying it ?
Does anyone know how to get the recipes for replica sky pirate gear in weaving?
Ilvl is calculated by adding up all your slots (weapon counts double for jobs without an offhand) then divide by 13
It's in the HW mastercraft books, so either 3 or 4, don't remember which
You buy those with some yellow scrips
How do I get gil? I want to travel and dont have enough to and its annoying
add up all the bonuses ?
Take the item levels of all your items, add them together, and then divide
Ok so now I’m all augmented Exar gear l520. In order to get higher gear I have to grind Eden Savages right?
or get cryptlurker and augment those
Or augment cryptlurker gear
but yeah
I suck so hard at Savage but gotta learn somehow I guess
man soul crystal is dragging me down 😛
Soul crystal doesn't count
Not everyone does Savage, don't do it if you don't want to
o ok
I’ve got nothing else to do now.
If you are looking for stuff to do...
Other than my MGP grind (but waiting for next months Make It Rain event)
can always do a relic if you want a time sink
err, exciting, highly engaging content!
If they interested me, I would but they’re not even nice
can always do 17 relics 
depends on your class and taste I suppose
keep in mind there's old ones too
and jokes aside, I find bozja fun in reasonable sized doses
hmm no mounts can be sold on Market Board ?
unfortunately they're not well organized, so in game they're all just slammed into the misc. category
and unlike emotes/hairstyles don't have a helpful suffix they all begin with to find them
k
zu horn is up cool
welp, dont have 100 ml for a new mount :/
you can buy emotes too ??
sweet
Some yes
Miscellaneous. They're called Ballroom X if you wanna be specific
materials from mobs only drop if im solo? without companion too?
they drop in a party
so its purely rng
yep
there's only a skill from ninja that slightly boost drop rates/amount on a single monster, but it's on a 2 minute cooldown so it's basically a non-factor.
i se
I can run any class to get timeworn artifact in DR, right?
yes
how can I go about looking for a good FC to join?
does banner share cooldown? Or I can use them as long as not the same time?
Storm the field under the Banner of Noble Ends, increasing damage dealt by 50% while reducing own HP recovery via most healing actions by 100%.
Duration: 15s
Can only be executed while in combat.
Effect cannot be stacked with other Banner actions.
last line appears on all the banner actions
but they should have separate cooldowns and not share
since they have different recasts
!action banner of firm resolve
Storm the field under the Banner of Firm Resolve, gaining additional stacks each time damage is taken, up to a maximum of 5.
Banner of Firm Resolve Effect: Reduces damage dealt by 15% per stack
Duration: 30s
At maximum stacks, take up the Banner of Unyielding Defense.
Banner of Unyielding Defense Effect: Reduces damage taken by 30%
Duration: 180s
Effect cannot be stacked with other Banner actions.
this one has a 3 minute cooldown compared to noble end's 90 second.
Most of them are not very useful anyway
guys i cant find sprint under action and traits
Noble Ends and Honored Sacrifices are the main ones due to being plain damage buffs
just got to 50 on my BLM, when's the optimal time to use flare? at the end of my fire rotation?
anyone know where i can drag the kotkey back to my xbar?
general section of actions
end of aoe rotation, basically.
THANK YOU
!faq blmleveling
at 68 it becomes the aoe rotation and kicks fire 2 out the door
how to check which hairstyle i unlocked? I'm a hrothgar, lols
You can't.
Have to fantasia to another race or try to use a hairstyle and see if it lets you.
is there anywhere I can find the japanese shadowbringers trailer with subs
Hrothgar can't actually use most unlocked hairstyles
any*
Hey everyone, have just started the game recently and have now hit a roadblock at Satasha. Didn't realize you needed a party to progress...
Wonder if anyone is avaliable to help at this time
Hrothgar and Viera are stuck with the defaults
and Hrothgar is worse off since it's directly tied to the face option meaning you need a fantasia.
Hairstyles can be checked at aesthetician
not if you're a hrothgar, which was the question.
You just have to wait, unfortunately. If you're a DPS it's expected to wait 5-15 minutes for most duty finder content in general.
Ah okay. Understood. Thanks.
How strange is it that I only like playing tanks and heals in this game? DPS just seems to bore me
what's your level?
@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
so last time you played in stormblood?
Pretty much
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
It's strange. in any other MMO i'd say different, but this game stands apart for me

how different is an endgame DRK compared to another with the same job
comparing to players
but still different
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?
ok, lets say that i have the ultimate gear for DRK and the other guy does too
how do i differentiate from him
you don’t
Not at all
classes play the same
Every job has one optimal way to play and a million non optimal ones
there’s no such thing as “style of play” in this game
so we play so hard just to be some equal?
Pretty much
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
^
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
gear is important, but good gear doesn’t make you a good player
FCs are mostly a social thing
FCs also have various buffs
Groups of likeminded peeps who hang out together
like exp buffs, food timer buffs, teleport fee reduction buffs
some bigger fcs host social events and giveaways and the like
There's also FC housing and some activities related to that
you’re not forced to really participate or contribute anything if you don’t want to
Anyway, FCs are in no way required
Join one if you like or don't, you won't miss anything essential
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
an FC may or may not have a static
maybe even multiple statics
or a static may consist of people from multiple FCs
it depends on the fc and their individual playstyle
some fcs may be more raid oriented and some not
the analogy with a discord server is not that far off the mark though
But yeah, an FC is whatever people make them tbh
i see
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
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
is there a power lvl spot or just grind story?
what is the item name to change appearance and race
potion of fantasia
for your first class? just keep doing main story quests
You're more likely to find decent fcs through community finder
!faq communityfinder
For last step of relici weapon
Can you get the items doing them.undersized
Or unsynced
No
You can use blu. Unsync is the actual problem not undersized
So just have the synced option selected
Oh alrighty ty do you know which raid for each one is the fastest?
check out pin
Tyyy
No you have to use the items again when they run out
thanks buddy
@patent citrus where do I check pin cuz I don't see it here
Nvm I see it but it which are the best to do?
is it worth wasting bozja cluster for critcal engage
so im doing main story quests, started character as a gladiator but im playing only Pugilist right now; is the main option gear piece decided on your starting class? its kinda annoying that i can't get pugilist gear like this 😂
Only if over 48 people are in queue for it and you want to make sure you get it
you mean in instant ?
That middle helmet should be for pugilist/monk
Yeah, its desciple of war one; but is the 1st item geared to your starting class?
how can i check how many people are in my instant
It’s only like that because it’s tank-specific gear
There are set rewards no matter what class you are
I need help organizing
Pre-50 gear is all over the place
ah okay gotcha
so im guessing they have this option just becuase tanks exist?
not because i picked glad
yeah
Yes
okay cool thank ya!
So can anyone help me organize my hotbar
Player search menu, or just watch how many people join the queue for a critical engagement
Try #protips-and-ui
If it goes over 48 then consider the priority pass to ensure you’ll join
Assuming you didn’t get the priority pass from doing the skirmish that spawns it if applicable
i mean there's nothing special about cluster just cosmatics right ?
You can make good money off the cosmetics
All of them are tradeable besides 1-3 things
hmmm
Also they’re a source of fragments for lost actions
the emotes sell especially well
ok thanks man
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?
The npc geae came after and os still significantly weaker than any lv60 gear
yeah, but I can save poetics. ok ty ty
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
I wouldn't
I wouldn't either
I wouldn’t.
No
if you could skip up to level 30, then maybe?
how do i get the rogue class
It's necessary world building
true
get any other job to lvl 10, complete the lvl 10 job quest, go to Limsa to the rogue's guild and unlock it there
did you finish the ifrit main quest already? hard to find a party so i can already get on with the story 😐
Eh. It depends on how much you care about the story. Some folks join more for endgame, and it speeds up the process.
Alright, cheers. Is there an estimated time taken to play through ARR?
I’d say you should give it a try, though.
Depending on which job you started as you may need to complete a certain amount of msq to get to limsa
40 hours total only doing mandatory stuff
JP DC? have you enabled all languages on duty finder?
yeah i'm on atomos. i put all the languages with the yellow circle. i think that's enabled. not sure
Is there a LFG tab or something? Or a place to find people to play with?
#recruitment-primal
Thanks
Yeah I fought ifrit already; it took about 10 minutes for my group to be found
hope i can find one soon so i cna get this part done. sucks to be stuck in this cave with nothing to do until i get this thing done 😐
you don't have to wait at the dungeon entrance
Whats best food for physical damage dealers?
If there is a follow up quest after the dungeon you will be teleported there once you complete it
or dps in general
but now you can go wherever you want
depends on the dps
@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?
you can always walk out somehow, you're never locked in or anything
I need 21 more tomes for the Serpent of Ringa. Fastest way to farm?
Hades ex
i can tp out. not sure if i can get here though without finishing the quest yet
you dont need to get there again
You don't need to be there
You can queue up to the trial through the Duty Finder, no need to physically access the cave
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
There's a guy who found a way out by the water
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
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?
almost none
basically, you can only ever pay using whichever you use
Steam would allow you to pay your sub via steam wallet
but yeah, whatever you choose you will be stuck to that for any future purchases
If wanted to start working on getting a resistance weapon, do I need to have done all the weapon questlines?
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
up to 5.1 at least
Ah, I've not done any alliance raids since Crystal Tower series. That's a rip. Thanks for the answers o/
the stormblood raids are.. a lot better.
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
yeah.. there's a step in the resistance questline that has you do about 40 40 man raids so
It's less a matter of me caring about a timesink as it does me being allergic to partying with people lately 
What
That's a no from me LMAO
I think technically you can do most of the resistance weapon steps solo
yeah, relic weapons are not something to be done on a whim
hi guys i tried creating multiple accounts , am i banned for creating accounts for 24 hrs or banned for creating
eternally
you can only have one account per email
how2get more gysahl greens for chocobo?
they're sold by various vendors
awesome tyy
something bango? sells them in limsa
I don't remember the exact name, but he's near the aetheryte
but the point is, i just hvae to wait 24 hours prior my first error right
fab
cause i tried to create just a few mins ago, hope i dont have to wait another 24 hrs from now
I mean, that error looks to me like they've already sent you an email to start the account creation process
and you just need to continue from there
Yah, can buy from Bango in Limsa. They're a Lala. You'll see them if you run in the opposite direction of the market
Just got to Ishgard, what do I need to do to become a dark knight?

Anyone knows a fixwithout restarting maybe? It was unsynced, a lot of the orbs hit the boss. Then suddenly no sound anymore
Do i need to be at req level to learn master recipes, "use the books"
I think you can learn everyhing but VII/VIII at 60 now
5,6 are lvl 70, 7,8 are 80
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
Nope
You can at different steps I think
you can have numerous steps active but once you finish a step for a wep, you cannot go back/restart the quest
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
no
you'd need to buy a stack of 6
and people sell crystals in bulk
just go gather them lol
Yeah you can only buy it like it is listed
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?
So unless someone lists 6 crystals you're out of lock
@restive talon you can roll for anything that isn't equipment
Oh okay thanks.
the 4th chest that appears at the end of the raid is not subject to those loot rules
