do you have mods or you are OC your ram/cpu/gpu I had this issue before I said fu*&k the OC/mods not worth it
i ran a couple visual mods (hair defined, eyes defined) but have disabled them, and I don't OC
press esc, enter, scroll lock?
if you have them disabled sometimes it's not enough you have to restore the files to the OG state
try reinstalling backup index files in textools, start over (wipe all mods), uninstall textools
didnt work, guess ill just nuke my pc
is there a spreadsheet for which sprite drops which fragment?
RIP
if that doesn’t work, and your pc does’t need any driver updates, it could be a graphics card problem
trying now thank you. hopefully this fixes it cuz now is not a good time to need a new gpu
its not your gpu 100% its mods I had this before mods are not worth it imo
bizarre i've ran those for like 5 months
is house demolishing still going on or is it paused because of covid? I remember reading something somewhere long ago can't remember what it was and what's going on
demo timer is back on
but we got an update not long time ago and they break
thank you
@abstract vapor yeah but i was fine for the start of 5.55
I dont know tbh I had this issue 5.5 too and this all I can help with
yeah giving it a shot, appreciate it
!action shelton
how reliable is this move
you get it about every 25 seconds
because to me it seems like it does nothing
its your short cd
It makes your block rate 100%
it only blocks like 10% of an attack though
block rate at 100 means you mitigate roughly 20% for 6 s
18% or so with current gear
if your shield doodoo though
my shield got block rate 74
take note that you cannot block attacks from behind you as well
@abstract vapor just happened again after backup index and unisntalling textools
that might be it then
ah
Like stormblood or something
so shelton scales with ur shield block rate
or strength?
i dont know whats better in general
to have
It doesn't matter
Higher ilvl Shields will have more of both
So keep your gear up to date
you have to restore the files from Texttools not uninstalling it
yeah did
No, it was nerfed to the grave this expansion really
i mean as a tank i pull all the aggro so I dont know
Extremely extremely niche
like this
wrong ping
start over reset everything
!action cover
so cover is meh
You can save one guy from being fucking stupid
lmao
@abstract vapor yea hthe backup index files right?
damn war's moveset is so much better early game
the backup index is different you use the og client to do it this on Texttools it reset the edited game files used by the mods
one time very specific time cover has been useful was during a trial transition phase where all the players are stunned, & a pld covered me on black mage so i could keep my enochian buff up
download index backups
also you can check for problems in texttools it might help you identify the broken mod
hmm still nope. gonna fresh install at this point
can you not submit fashion report until x days?
Judging opens friday
And lasts until next weekly reset
if i have more the 5 quests going on, is there a way to view them all ?
cuz new ones bump old ones down and i cant see them 😦
The quest journal
o ya heh

is the Dalaria timer 1 hour or 30min?
How do I get to The Churning Mists? Can't find a path
it will always at worst take an hour but it usually pops every 15 - 20 minutes after the last in a relatively active instance
Go underground its through the tunnels
So not climbing all the way up the tower, but only up to 2nd level
i am assuming you already did sohm al
go here
there's a dragon NPC over on the right of the circle on top that just takes you up there
there is no physical path up there
So my boyfriend is having an issue with trying to get into Dungeons, where it just crashes his game to Desktop - No error messages nothing.
Then when he tries to load back up it just is stuck on a loading screen and it doesn't do anything.
He's reinstalled the game, turned of Directx 11 etc. Does anyone know what it is
hi has anyone had errors logging in? specifically the lobby error 2002
@pale cave @obtuse dust #technology-discussion might have a better idea
oh thanks!
Does anyone know if it is possible to hide unbound Ui hotkeys
How can you hide them ?
under character config
hotbar settings
Display tab
2nd from top, check the box
Thanks a lot
Sell items. The more you sell the more you progress the rebuilding of the Enclave.
A friend of mine has been getting T posing between loading and teleporting, any ideas?
CPU load.
do people still do dragons neck ?
A less powerful CPU may lead to problems like that when loading into congested areas
I get it in trial roulette a few times
It’s in trial roulette so yes.
cool
Friends PC might be dying 
Might be queuing for awhile but you can get in.
im having a problem with my connection saying its poor when it shouldnt be and i keep getting 2 error codes that i cant seem to fix
queue at the start of the day isnce people will be doing trial roulette
has anyone else had this problem before?
Hey people o/ Does anyone know which floor of Heaven-on-High is the most proficient in term of xp/time ?
21-30
Thanks for the answer ! :D
which product should i buy if im probably going to buy and play the game
the complete edition
idk if i should get the complete or starter
Complete edition for everything
did you play the trial already
which class has the easiest time recovering rotations / has the least dps dropoff from boss downtime: drg, mnk, or sam?
why does it say my minion guide is unavailable?
i havent gotten to level 60
because you dont have any minions
@nocturne hinge did you play on windows or steam
i want to play on steam but i havent gotten to it yet
i mean if i want to buy the game i should just get it on steam
right?
so you played the trial on windows?
then yes you just buy the game on steam
but ive liked the game a lot so far
ah
not sure if i want to preorder the next expac though yet tbh
yeah
you have until it releases to preorder it so
btw, is becuase of the end of the expac is here does that mean lots of people arent doing much
wym they arent doing much
there's definitely a bit of a lull in people playing, which is normal for end of expac time
but there's still plenty of people playing and doing content
ok
Can I put gems in the materia slots? How do I do it if I can?
thats what i wanted to ask

!faq melding
How do I unlock melding?
Complete Forging the Spirit (materia extract/npc melding) and Waking the Spirit (player melding) in Central Thanalan.
How can I get my gear melded?
To meld visible Materia slots a NPC melder in any major city will do (marked with a Blue Materia icon on the map). To overmeld gear you'll need to request another player to meld your gear or to do it yourself.
Why can't I meld this Materia to my stuff?
Every Tier of Materia has a minimum item level requirement that gear must meet to allow melding of that Tier. Tier 6 Materia requires an item level of 290 while Tiers 7 and 8 require an item level of 420.
Why is my meld giving +0 stats?
Every item has a maximum amount of stats that can be given through melding and the natural stats found on the gear. This can be seen at the bottom of the Materia Melding menu, as seen in the picture below.
The secondary stat with a higher number is already at the cap and cannot be further melded.
what do I do with all the stuff I can't sell?
it depends on which stuff but usually you are able to throw it out
however most untradable items have trade-in value somewhere if not directly sellable for gil
such as triple triad cards u already have
oh nvm I can sell it, I just can't put it out on the market
am curious, what item is this
for the butterfinger promotion, if i bought butterfingers off of amazon does that qualify for the mount
yes you can sell it safely to vendors
or does it have to be from an actual store
on the mb i mean
it doesn't specify irl and you must submit through the website anyway so i would imagine it's fair game as long as you have direct proof of purchase
yeah im gonna sell it to vendors
so much trash items
when is it worth even considering putting something out on the market?
I bought two bags of fun size from Target. First receipt (the order confirmation) got rejected but when I resubmitted an invoice showing just the butterfingers it got approved last night.
when you can make more money
up to you
it may not sell is the thing if it's that low
it's a marginal and small gain that will not likely matter in the long run when gil gets up to the 100k's
i submitted an invoice of my purchase from amazon and it got rejected lol
that's my point
yeah cerberus wasn't saying it was better or not
meant it's really up to u if u care or not
personally i'm just saying meh ur right it's not a big deal at all
yeah I'll just sell all my trash items to vendors
good man
How do I get loathsome memories of the dying?
waiting around for castrum while doing other CEs would be the fastest way
zlatan? monkaS
:zlatan:
Thank you.
Do I have to be that class or just have the quest open to get the drops?
like the rest of the relic quest for bozja, the latter
any class, just need the quest
Hello, just unlocked Hell's Kier extreme, but I can't join a team in PF, do I need to do it synced first? It says "Unable to join party. Required duty not yet complete."
you can be any class on any of the relic steps
So question, Eureka is old content, do I need a group for anything inside of it or nah? Only worried because it's old/dead content, not really anybody doing it
@weak copper they tagged their PF so that people who havent completed the duty cant join their party
@leaden ginkgo eureka relies a lot on partying with other people
Oh okay, I'll ask them if i can join then, thanks
levelling will be very slow initially especially without another person or any guidannce
So it's really a no-go unless I got friends who wanna do it eh?
eureka's main loop is killing monsters to spawn boss aftes and levelling up that way
you can probably find people if you really wanted to
it's not a no-go, moreso it's just something you should know and brace yourself to endure imo
just a question of if you really want to
i got through it fine, i just steadily did it even if it was a bit of a slog until i levelled up a bit and got access to other areas
if anything you can do your weekly log for eureka and level up that way steadily week to week
Eureka is basically:
- do weekly logs
- ask for parties in Eureka for fates
That's all it is
you mainly want an active instance with people spawning fates like estelle said yeah
you can piggyback off of a party to get yourself up
it just needs some elbow grease, dedication, and the ability to engage with other people
well worth doing imo, gets really fun at higher levels
Keep in mind its a very long grind to max so don't expect to finish in one sitting and I highly recommend you work on a weapon alongside it
yes
most important part is to pace oneself
especially around pagos where it ends up being the longest part relic-wise and progression wise
Hi guys I want to unlock the ninja job quest but can't, even if I'm rogue level 30 and I have finished the lvl 20 MSQ "Sylph Management", what am I missing for it to appear on Jacke ?
did you already take the quest?
Usually the job quests are from different people than the class quests
and did you do your class quests
Also that
yep I did all the rogue quests
Do whatever quest is showing under the main scenario tracker
Anyone on Lamia having trouble connecting?
(new player) on what lvl i can access dungeons and how do i do that
why do we keep dying in aurum vale? i am equipped with lvl30 gear (highest i have), i have my faerie healing pet active, i am focusing on healing the tank and dealing some dps but for some reason i keep dying and then we get wiped? im not stepping into the toxic gas either so why does this keep happening
you unlock it in the msq at lvl15
Lv30 gear is really low
are you eating the morbol fruit when you get to 3 stacks?
its the highest i have
Do your job quests for the i45 gear
morbol fruit am i supposed to get it?
i am at job quest like lvl 45 or 50
im not getting new gear
its frustrating
Then equip the gear they gave you
Your job quests gave you gear
The lv50 one gives you a box with i90 gear
i90?
Item level 90
Yes
i am
The lv45 one gears you lv45 gear
As you go around and get the items
Whatever job you're queing with
and for aurum vale the bosses put debuffs on you
you have to eat the fruit on the ground when you get 3 stacks
ok ty
So, I've just returned to the game, haven touched it since heavensward, the thing is I'm feeling completely lost, I'm thinking of start a new character from scratch, is that a bad idea?
not only the story but the gameplay too, not sure if it is because it was a long time ago or that I played mindlessly at the time but I'm feeling pretty lost
yes, then restarting is a great idea
you got like 5 months until endwalker comes out, plenty of time to catch up on MSQ
along with the reasons Ceberus said earlier, you may also opt into a preferred world upon character creation for a free 2x exp boost for up to 3 months or when the server stops being preferred
which is a powerful boon for catching up as well
its mostly for leveling multiple classes
its not necessary if youre only interested in leveling 1 class
mhm
mainly as an option if catching up includes getting classes u wanna play up
but ye what cerb said
my server is set tho, my wow guild is playing and they already are in odin
oh then zero worries
I plan on playing more than one probably
its fine
yeah it's not necessary by any means
you can still level multiple without the buff
well, thank you very much 😄
hope you have fun!
Thanks!
the exp bar is so weird
Noob coming through, I am leveling an arcanist and I am having trouble understanding my blue pet, should I have it out all the time or can I choose not to, it's getting tiring having my pet pull every mob in a 5 meter radius and I struggle to survive and/or I die :T

sometimes it turns orange other times blue, what does that mean?
!faq restedxp
if its the only carbuncle you have then use it
!faq restedexp
'Why does my EXP bar have some blue or faded yellow in it?'
That's Rested Experience, which is an extra source of bonus experience shared between all of your classes. You gradually earn this while inside a sanctuary (town or area with a major aetheryte), regardless of whether you're online or not. Sanctuaries are also indicated with a crescent moon icon near your experience bar.
'How much of a boost is it?'
The most amount of rested experience you can have at once is one and a half levels of experience. That means that lower level jobs use up the rested experience faster than higher level jobs do.
T w T It is at the moment, I just don't understand why it keeps attacking things that doesn't need to be attacked, I am assuming it's from aoe spells but it's getting frustrating smh aaa ty tho
basically the colour indicates whether you have enough to go into the next lvl for rested exp
because blue carby is an aoe pet
oh cool thanks
you get your single target pet later
Oh really? which color would be the single target, I did not know that colors means different things
ifrit
your summon 2 is also mostly single target
yeah yellow carby/chicken nugget man
how much of an exp boost is it tho
50%
Thanks all, also yea I would prefer aoe for certain things just not all the time, because when I am attacking something and my aoe pet just goes nuts and even pulls the neutral creatures and I die lol ty
why am i gaining acn xp for doing the scholar job quest instance
because scholar is basically an arcanist
because you don't stop being the class when you become a job
does anyone happen to have some useful Crafting macro's? WVR in particular. Currently lvl51 in it. if not, maybe like an overall one that I can also use for my other crafters
but am i benefting from this xp as a scholar
yes
get the dol/doh role and check the pins in #doh-dol-lounge
ok
ACN exp is SMN and SCH xp
dope. thanks!
Is there a way to make tab target the closest enemy unit to me?
Trying my first mouseover macro. Before the cast starts, I get an error "can not use while casting".
/micon "Cure ll"
/ac "Cure ll" <mo>
Any idea what is wrong? The cast itself seems to work fine
firstly dont do that
Whats the universal baits name? Sorry forgot
secondly are you trying to use it right after you used another skill?
versatile
and thirdly /micon should go at the bottom
Thank you!!!
No, just in itself. What exactly I should not be doing?
using a macro for cure 2 lol
dont ever macro gcds
the only macro you should maybe be using as a whm is to auto place asylum
but even i dont do that
Eh, alright but what is the issue with the macro? Moving micon to the end does not change anything.
are you spamming it?
No.
thats why
macros dont queue
if you click it and the game doesnt register then it just wont happen
you have to spam it
a gcd macro is both finnicky and slower than you pressing the button yourself because you can't queue them
Does the versatile lure work for the Feast of Famine quest?
Okay, whatever, does it get "can not use while casting" error because it is gcd?
could be
Is there another way to enable mouseover healing?
none that would not result in a loss of efficiency
actual coding of sprint in a raid
I just click on the party list for healing,
Okay, I care more about comfort. How do I make it?
it's you making the dungeon or raid harder for your party because you heal less
because your healing abilities will be crippled
It’s not a comfort thing it’s the game refusing to even use the ability when it feels to
it's not a tiny loss of efficiency where you may be like "eh, whatever"
it gets huge
and only bigger the longer a fight goes on
macros were made to be bad in combat
many situations will require fast reactive healing and macros just cant do that
what would happen to my current job if I change to marauders guild?
now for crafting? Macro away
nothing
same as you left it
oh ok
you can switch back at any time by just equipping the big axe again
ah ok
You can have all classes in this game
jeeez
blue ui 
Sorry big fan of 7 
slacking on that BM
no, 70 is the max lvl for blu
god i wish BLU was 80
oh lol
Trying to do the feast of famine quest, dont even know where to start 
its limited because it's goddamn OP
If it wasn't max it wouldn't be orange
it will always be below the current max lvl because otherwise it would be pretty dang op for current hunts and fates
also, is there a way to save loudouts whenever I change jobs? Or do I always have to put my gear back on?
Yes,
open your character window and click gear sets at the top
and click the plus sign
ohhh thanks, you guys are really helpful lol
Need a 2nd class before you can press it though from what my friends tell me
Who do I talk to for trading my loot in for seals?
The quartermaster?
yup
Or the personnel officer?
I don't see an option to sell though
@autumn hedge need to be a certain rank with the GC
Ah. I just got corporal
Anyone know if while my chocobo is changing feathers
second lieutenant is what you need
i can tell him to train?
errr right, the one before lieutenant
Sorry what?
lieutenant is for squadrons
you should be able to train your chocobo while color changing
this
as long as you dont take him out
Feed it a carrot to train, feed it certain foods/berries to change it's colour
Yup
yes
yay
Are the veteran rewards unlocked in all characters?
yes
if i have downloaded/installed the trial version and if upgrade to complete edition, how much more GB would I have to download and install?
When does the pre order fo endwalker ends?
I'll pre order in 4 months then thanks for the info
I only care about the earings xD
why does it take so much time to download the game
it took all day last time i really hope it doesnt this time
Alright so I just hit 60 last night on DRG and picked up GNB- which is the class that I wanted to use to tank. I've played MMOs before, but this is really my first time doing dungeons/raids so I'm just wondering what sort of things I should/could do to learn tanking? Starting at 60 is a bit overwhelming, and I'm not really sure how to tank tbh.
turn on your tank stance
you are now tanking and can't really use aggro, that is always step 1
am i correct in assuming nightbloom does not stack with song of torment?
yes
they inflict the same bleeding debuff
Then you basically just pull what you want to pull and smack it while using defensive skills to minimize the dmg you take
it is unusual to say the least
should i bring song of torment anyway for the downtime on nightbloom?
yes
I was thinking maybe running POTD to naturally go through the skill tree??
Remember that your job is still to deal as much dmg as possible
that is usually recommended bc it's still a big amouint of damage in one GCD
That's not a bad idea
Yeah, my small brain just saw all the abilities and was like "woah. I don't know what any of these do lmao"
POTD seems like a good way to just kinda get them one by one in my mind
because my memory blows
5.3 Patch update: Brutal Shell is now 200 potency, can be overwritten if barrier is not broken before next Brutal Shell. This does not change how you treat it.
New? Got too many skills? Have no idea what anything does because you start at 60? Just hate reading? Try this guide out!

hey all, bit of a technical problem, hope i can get some help. So I installed the version of the game from the square enix site (non-steam). Lots of my character settings weren't saving between play sessions, eg hotbar/UI changes/Gear sets. I think this is because my character folder is read-only. Wouldn't let me remove the read-only attribute, if i untick it, it ticks itself after i exit the window. I thought I could try reinstalling the game to a different folder - however I cannot reinstall the free trial client, after logging into the sqenix on the free trial webpage it tells me:
"Square Enix accounts that have already registered for a FINAL FANTASY XIV service account are not eligible for a free trial.
Please log in using a Square Enix account that has not registered a FINAL FANTASY XIV service account."
Any help on reinstalling/fixing the read-only issue would be appreciated. Thanks!
this is a very good video going through all the abilities
Awesome! Thanks. I've been watching videos for the past like half hour, trying to make sure I understand tanking and the like.
are you admin of the box you are on ?
I am the only user, I have administrator privileges
or i should do at least
under the file > properties > security, my user has Full Control
right click the folder and go to properties > security > advanced button will allow you to change permission settings
Did you try opening the launcher as admin?
Right click > run as administrator?
Even if you're the only user
I didn't, nope. I now cannot even download the launcher though
Also, you said you installed the game from the SE site, did you buy the game and then try to use the free trial again?
well i can download the standard launcher just not the free trial one
nope, never bought the game.
Can you go into your account and screenshot your status so we can check? Just to be certain something isn't weird on your account end.
The bit that looks like this.
Hmm, so that's okay, at least.
Did you fully uninstall the game from your system and try a clean reinstall of the free trial launcher?
!faq freetrial
also there is a bug in Windows with the read only folder check box >> this will help if you still need to investigate it.
I think so, I'll have another look to try and wipe any files leftover maybe
this isn’t the place for ask for help with leveling jobs is it?
Thank you, I did have a quick browse of that about an hour ago - the cmd prompt code it gave didnt work, something about how the "-r" isnt recognised as anything. aside from that, I should have admin permission - but theres a chance something is messed up in my windows since i reinstalled it half a year back
"I thought I could try reinstalling the game to a different folder - however I cannot reinstall the free trial client"
why
how do i attack enemies without clicking on them
By clicking on them
How does the feast of famine quest work? I noticed in youtube videos each fish had their own quest but the guides show all 6 at once?
I mean, you can, but we're more about offering advice on what to do rather than actually doing things in game, since w're from all over the place.
Or using an AoE that doesn't require targeting
tab targetting
You can use tab targeting (kbm) or R1/L1 (controller)
spam press tab
ok
no space
oh i was just wondering if it was okay, thanks for telling me!
between - and r
ty
anyone could help for duty msq? server is kujata not getting anyone for que at this time
It is way off-hours for JP servers, so that's not surprising.
if anyone can spare some time and help me boost some jobs to 20 ill be very grateful!
It's like 5am.
umm i didnt put a space between i dont think
this is making me confused ;-;
ya that's why asking around people whoever is available
i got same result with/without space between them
dude just deliver the entirety of thanalan
what exactly are you confused about @raven star
because feast of famine has several steps to it
I don't know how to start, do I just get any fish or do I have to do them in order?
I did try a full uninstall - got same from the webpage about how i am already registered so cant get a free trial?
You can look up all the fish and obtain them in whatever order you like
You can catch them in any order
then just hand them all in
Ahk, how come the guides they are all individual? 😮
also using the +s ?
Yeah, I don't know. You might need to contact support directly and explain the problem to them.
because the fish have different requirements of bait and time
will try now
alright, thanks so much for trying anyways! :D
same error message with the +s.
Is there a restriction placed on buying something from the market board and trading it to someone?
or is that fine to do
So long as you don't do something to bind the item to you, its fine
is the pathing correct to the folder ?
i copy pasted it from file explorer so it would seem so. I also tried "attrib /?" in cmdprompt, it displays all the parameters. it does display "-" and "r" as real. So I'm not sure why it doesnt recognise "-" when i do the actual command
try adding quotes around the path
download from this link
it is a direct link, don't download it by searching it up on google
new error message... guess i somehow dont have permissions
Administrator?
hendce the orig issue :/
... just create a different local account
never use an "Administrator" account as your normal user account
that's why you get permission errors
Thanks!! thats the first problem of actually redownloading it fixed
and alrighty ill create a new user
and try from there?
yeah.
permissions are pita
but you already got the game installed? so im definetly guessing that it is your admin account that makes the game unable to save the settings
so, you should not need to reinstall the game
nice to know, just kinda used it when i reinstalled windows
i know that in retrospect but i uninstalled it a few hours ago LOL
but got it again now so
make sure install to nicey folder 🙂
thanks so much for the help all! I'll try make another user and work from there
I shoved it into my big hard drive but the character file stores itself in a my documents folder... think thats okay
ya
So im starting FFXIV today what server should i play on im NA
any preferred
a preferred one if there's one available, it will have a star at the end of character creation, if there isn't one open then any is good
does the company i join change anything
no, just the color
have u ever had the game installed?
Any servers, if you're into RP, Crystal datacenter has bigger group on that
@alpine shadowi meant before that lol
But it won't matter soon, when Datacenter Travel launch
the error happens if u have 2 folders named the same and if u had the game before it will create a new one
its a easy fix just rename one of the folders or delete it
which error?
the one he posted a pic of
the website error?
Is there a way to prevent armory panel to shows up when you drag gears off your character panel?
don't think so

Hey so...Buddy is new to game
#primal-recruitment @obtuse thunder
Level 60
I'm leveling DoL for the first time and on my 69 botanist I'm trying to gather Doman Yellow, I believe I'm in the correct spot and ffxivclock says it should be up but I don't see the node anywhere. Is there a quest I have to do in order to make those nodes appear/be accessible?
yes
if he is on free trial yes
He bought full game
then does he have all the expacs?
doubt, then
pc or ps4/5
Ohhh yeah if he only bought base game
if all he bought is starter edition then yeah he's locked to 60
then did he apply the code to his mogstation acct
seems he still on free trial then
which job allows you to craft materia?
!faq mogstation
no job crafts materia
once you hit max spiritbond on an item you can extract materia from your gear
No job, they are pretty cheap on MB tho
try letting them login to mogstation to double check
@ripe houndye I am trying to cut cost for my money making method tho
He said he thinks he only ever redeemed like 1 code
So maybe it wasn't a full version or ShB?
yeah but triple triple check
So he probably has base game but not the added content
I am new and was wondering if i should look for a FC to join. Are there benefits or are there no benefits or r they minimal? Could i go through the whole game without it with no problems?
Said he'll check in a min. He streaming rn and I noticed his shit locked and yeah
either he didn't actually apply the code to his acct or he didn't bother to let the game download the rest of the expansions
how does that happen
wait do you have to be a disciple of magic to make piety and battledance materia?
unless he just bought it
You need healer gear to get piety materia, and battledance would be DoW
Hey guys, so I found out I can run content unsynced. Is this possible with savage level raids aswell? can I do a savage raid unsynced?
specifically tank gear
so the only way is to take it out of already crafted gear?
yes, but not ultimate
You can do some savage raids unsynced solo, but everything that is not Shadowbringers content can be unsynced as a group
And ultimate
again, to "make" materia you need to max out a gear's spiritbond
no, all gear has a system where you get spiritbond for it
and at 100% you can extract it for free
and u get materia
Would anybody be willing to help me and my bro get into a party? We are trying the game out ftp together
Alright buddy is checking his stuff now. Appreciate the info guys. I'll lyk if we figure it out or what
Uh
Where does he redeem code?
it should be under "your account"
@twilit archso it's tedious as a process?
yes ish? its not really something to focus on tbh. just run dungeons of appriopriate level and you'll spiritbond your gear eventually
easy process
Cool think he got it. Ty
👍
what you get from spiritbond is something like you stock up on "for whenever when i need it sometime" feeling
does one also get crafting materia from spiritbonding?
yes
although the spiritbond for both crafting and gathering gear is HORRENDOUSLY slow
hmmm
I was trying to setup production team for materia to split labor between that and a method for making gil from transmuting materia
not trying to be dependent purely on mb because you run out of good buys
whats the best minigame to earn mgp?
chocobo racing
gotcha
then i cannot help u sadly

not really anyway besides grinding it out via scrips for gathering/crafting
well in terms of producing materia how long do you think it would take to gather hundreds of one kind?
the hunt train thing only works with combat
pretty long time if you're directly farming scrips
which is the most efficient way
d you know what the second best would be, because chocobo racing sounds long
hmm if it's so long why is materia so cheap?
because there's other various ways of getting the higher end materia
spiritbonding is not the go to method for getting them
if I want to max weaving, what gathering skill should I do along side that one?
its like...an extra bonus
botanist
botany mostly
but also
would botany alone be enough?
if youre going to level crafters you should level them all together
@astral sigilcheckout youtube desperius guide for speed levelling crafters
Desperiaus isn't a good source
lol why
desperius not really trustworthy
he makes stuff up
He's often flat out wrong
I dunno I used his guide to lvl 80 a few crafters already
at least his video on crafting was accurate
if youre going to level crafters you should level them all together
this
I dont care much about guides, I really just wanna play the game. But botanist and weaving together should be good?
that should be fine
Barely
dont level weaving alone unless you want to go bankrupt
yes
thats why you level all crafters together
Whereas it could cost 0
^
yeah if desperius cost you 2 mill gil it's not a good guide
just dont watch desperius
I find it bit too confusing if Im going to do them all at the same time z.z
well prices also depend on server
and they also shift daily
who's a better guy for youtube guides
crafters are largely the same thing, just with different skins/materials
Anything using exact prices is always gonna be wrong cause varying markets
@leaden ginkgo guide for what specifically
just in general I gueess
generally people will either level 5-10levels on one, switch to another repeat
trading tips, crafting guides etc.
i would argue that asking questions here is better tbh, youtube videos for crafting might get outdated or not be accurate to different servers
the real trick to making money is not letting other people know about it
if it's in a well known vid
everyone's gonna do it
then no one wins
tru
How far should I be into the main story before maxing a crafting job? Is im on level 22 quests now so... idk... I just wanna farm xD
whenever you want
it's fine anywhere
i leveled 1 crafter just for a mount and quit
thats why when u see stuff selling for a lot in videos and u try it , the prices are like 80x lower lol
well you do need lvl 70 to access hw and sb areas for the later class missions
but you should do the MSQ tbh, crafters aren't necessary and funding them will be easier after beating the MSQ
also access to every area for mats
ok, thank you everyone 🙂
dear god why is it so difficult to find out how to get the one time log in password
did you actually make a one time password
^
cause if you didnt you just leave it blank
then u put the code ina nd ez pz win
one time password is two-factor authenication you need to set up
but if u dont have one just leave the pass blank
what do culiarians desynth
if you don't remember shit about it then just leave it blank yeah
fish

lol waaaaat'
useful for fish aethersand farm
what is fish aethersand used for
fish give various things depending on the fish
cul desynthesis is for the most part not that amazing
there are certain fish that can desynth into worth while items, but for the most part
its just sand
its always sand
Could someone give me a tips about this too? :/
sell
What are the SB alliance raids
@astral sigilput glamour stuff u like in the dresser and sell the rest u dont need
the return to ivalice quests
does anyone know how you make a way to quickly switch crafter jobs without having to change your clothes each time?
Where do they start
keiten in kugane
Gear sets
Gearsets
@leaden ginkgo make a wardrobe shortcut
and u switch with one click
on your hotbar
that thing you setup in your hotel room?
Do they unlock as soon as I finish 4.0 or do I need to reach a certain point in post-SB
Is there maybe an other class to level up for unlocking the ninja quest (an other than rogue ) ?
you can do them as soon as you beat 4.0 iirc
No
Level Rogue to 30
No, the gear set button on your character page
thank you, omg. it just has it there blank as if you need one to log in, could they make it any less obvious for a new player
@leaden ginkgoif u add the class to the gear set list u can then drag the gear set to your skills hot bar and switch with 1 click
?
nice thx
it seems to be pressing other keys that the ones i program
💔
my ctrl+1 macro its pressing the macro and f6 at same time
@quick pawn check that they are not bind to something in your mouse software menu
idk why
Ok this is a really random question and i dont know if this belongs here but how do some ppl do the command whoami like how do u embed ur information into the bot? EHH id this cant be answered its ok then i will just try to google it just curious about it right now
it shows all your keys
@steel temple you link your character to the bot
the instructions are in #kupo-bot-spam pins
They arent 💔
what mouse is it
Ohh thank u ^^
Logitech g602
did you make sure those keybinds are not already bind to another key or skill
Do I need an extension maybe for ninja ? Because I have rogue level 30 completed all the rogue quests and I'm in MSQ quests that are around level 23 (and I read that I need to complete a quest that is called "Sylph managment" and I completed it )
idk how to do that
u need to manually look thru the menus idk if u can search for it
No. If nothing is showing under the main scenario tracker then check your soul stone page in the armoury chest
^
Did you actually equip the soul stone after the 30 job quest
can you unlock sam without completing arr main story quest
do we get a free mount and what level if we do
!faq mounts
'When can I get my first mount?'
The quest that allows you to use mounts, 'My Little Chocobo' is unlocked by completing the level 20 main story quest 'The Company You Keep'. The quest is located at the Grand Company base you chose and you'll need to buy the Chocobo Issuance from your Grand Company Quartermaster. You can get the 200 needed Grand Company seals by doing the main story quest that comes after 'The Company You Keep'.
'Are there any differences between mounts?'
Besides looks, all mounts are the same speed along with being able to fly. Some mounts allow multiple people to ride at once.
'Can I make my mount faster?'
Zones have one or two ranks of mount speed that increase the ground speed of mounts. The first rank comes from completing specific quests in the main scenario quests, with the second rank coming from Riding Maps which are bought with either Allied Seals, Centurio Seals, or Bicolor Gemstones. Mount Speed Boosts do not increase the flying speed of mounts.
u get quiet a few mounts in msq but most are in the expansions which u need to buy
first one is level 20 doe
ok ty
How easy are the Ivalice raids prior to being in full Scaevan gear?
My DNC has the Scaevan weapon and top and the rest is a mix of MSQ gear and dungeon gear
Whats the best way to level alt jobs from 70-80?
You're fine
Bozja
And the 71 - 79 leveling dungeons
Alliance raids are easy peasy assuming you actually do mechanics
Especially considering you aren't tanking or healing
can the relic quest dungeons/ raids be unsynced or do they not count
no
is there any way to turn off the sound for the "cannot use skill" alert
am I missing something on how these work? I the indicated areas on the map have nothing to gather and I can't find the "gentian" that it speaks of in the gathering spots
Did you hit the initiate button?
^
I'm doing quests for the Vath but there's really nothing to buy from them, except chocobo related feed and venture. Do I just not have enough relation with them to see other stock, or is this all they are ever going to offer?
Thank you for asking that question........
Higher rep means more items added to the store @tiny crag
Sweet, thanks for the quick answer! 🙂
you need other people for the signatures but then you can just kick them out or they leave
so there is no way to turn off the sound for spamming a skill that is on cd?

where do I get a defragged tomestone?
what is e10/12s
Eden floor 10 savage
Eden 10 and eden 12 savage
e12 = Eden's Promise: Eternity
e10 =Eden's Promise: Litany
ohhh
so im assuming 4 blades is beating the boss 4 separate times? is it on a weekly lockout?
yes
yes and yes
Also I personally think it’s better to type e12n and e10s
Since weather e10 means normal or savage depends on context
Which I always gets it confused
For example, “how is your e10 prog?” Means eden 10 savage prog
“Want to farm some e3 together?” Usually means e3 normal farm
how to unbind a key on ff14?
system > keybinds
My friend is interested in playing the game but he's really being turned off by having to play all the MSQ to get to the end game and start raiding. Does he have to complete all of MSQ before he can start end game raiding. He's not huge into story stuff?
yes
this game is like 70% story
you can buy a story skip and a level boost but he would still be required to play through shadowbringers
How can I change my retainers from uldah to fishing town?
go to the retainer vocate in limsa
this game doesnt recognize mouse keys iirc you need a workaround for it
What is a good essence for DNC at Bozjan?
bummer guess he's heading back to WoW then he wanted to play the game with me but he's really only into getting into endgame/raid stuff and didn't wanna pay more money just to skip content so he could get there.
yes this is a final fantasy game first, mmo second
what u mean
yeah the game doesnt recognize side buttons
trying to set something to them so i can use my third skill bar
i would ask #protips-and-ui or #technology-discussion for how to set it up
onley reconizes some

level 80 artifact gear
given to you at the end of ShB MSQ
What's the difference between artifact gear and normal gear?
artifact is the job gear
it can only be equipped by a single class
like specifically white mage
'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.
Does the 1 per week loot restriction only apply to actual gear, not the cards/hairstyles/minions?
ty
@languid creek thats correct
Awesome, ty!
Is anyone here a Scholar main that could explain something to me?
sure what's up?
I am looking at The Balance trying to figure out BiS to gear up my SCH. Why would you intentionally use lower/worse gear over using the Eden/Crypt gear?
https://etro.gg/gearset/3b894bb4-3dd6-4fcd-adfd-0d4d43c37fea this is what I am looking at
is it safe for me to just ignore the story if I switch class? or is it worth paying attention to?
they are nice, but can be skipped
that's the gearset with high piety
in case you're static is struggling with heals for E11S
DRK is really good, don't skip that one, but otherwise its ok
I don't have a static and can clear E11S fine
noted
https://etro.gg/gearset/4f21e0e3-d02e-4c58-a11d-a5cb062efcf8 then use this one
just substitute the relic for the edenmourn yeah
i don't think that one has been updated since 5.55 came out
What should I put for the stats?
assuming you're already at your SPS tier, CRIT DH DET in that order
No idea where I am at. I just was following that one you shared previously
are you at 2.39 yet?
What does that mean?
your GCD?
Were can i find the Limit break command ?
tank/healer relics can't put on DH, so they settle with SkS/SpS
general section in actions & traits
ah ok
then my advice still applies.
so what do tanks have? CRIT DH SKS TEN?
My Gunbreaker and Bard have almost BiS. Just missing Shirt and Pants for both.
DH doesn't benefit tanks the same way it does dps and healers.
DH is technically a DPS-only stat, but the stat isn't actually restricted to them.
So working on Scholar now which is my main healer
ah ok
so tanks/healers can take advantage of it through melds.
DH is actually still a bigger gain over det for every tank every WAR
that's kinda wack
while yes DH is more benficial on healers and DPS, tanks still want it over det if possible (excluding WAR)
what is your lowest piece
Run the level 69 dungeon for a replacement for your lowest piece, or, if you haven't done so already, do your level 70 job quest and equip the gear it gives you.
I can't seem to open the steam overlay in game is there a way to fix this
Are you running Steam in admin mode?
Also get Scaeven gear with Alegan Tomestones from Rhalger's Reach
You can't do that until after you finish Ala Mhigo
Oh
ah is there a way to make it always run in admin mode?
Umm, I know there's a way to make it a setting, but I don't remember where it is.
