ohh got it now, thanks so much
Im new in this game and i just did duty for lvl 41, for some reasons i cant roll need for item even tho its says that DRG (and im dragoon) can use it
I can roll only items with discipline of war mark 😦
totallly forgot about the soul crystal, was trying out new jobs
there's a weird gap of time in that span of levels where there's like "tanky DRG" gear
Cause that piece of gear is for tanks specifically
Arr is jank with gear
Oh ty
it seems our fc company with house is gonna be inactive for a long time. Most of the players are gonna stop and wont be back for a while. We have much crafting stuff in the house. Can you store these items somewhere?
i think once you're a high enough rank you can?
had a friend of mine inherit an FC house
Someone needs a high enough rank to edit the house to pick stuff up
But at long as someone in the fc enters the house the timer resets
no one is active online after this month
there a high chance that the house will be lost
figuring out if the housing stuff can be stored somewhere.
Just pick up the items and store them in retainers/apartments and stuff
have you entered the house this month?
yes
Is there anyway to setup a one key hotkey for muting/unmuting sound?
yes
if you want to mute the game
./mastervolume 0
this is to mute background music
for mute/unmute you can just enter /mastervolume with nothing else
will toggle mute.
^
asking again since it's the topic right now
The Pageantry Tomes cant be exchanged anymore?
correct @hoary storm
I want to be able to turn bard performances on/off via a macro
This is why you read the event pages
Anyone know how much hp a lvl 80 warrior with full exarchic has?
Probably around 16-17k. I have slightly more gear than Exarchic and sit at 18k
i don't think there is
Do u mean 160-170k?
Yeah
Food and party buffs in BiS gear
any 510 food and party buffs
Usually food is like chicken fettuccine
Oki thanx
So I'm starting a new character because I've come back from a long long break and I'm completely lost, that said, is there something I can or should buy with gold to smooth out the leveling process?
No. There's nothing to buy while levelling/story
not gear or anything right?
Story and job quests give gear
no
I think they were asking gear as in like
heirlooms
and the answer is no, there are no heirloom style items you can buy with gil in this game
someone have a good list how to leveling alts?
!faq altlvlguide
not for shadowbringers too? 😄
The same stuff applies
same for ShB
Same methods apply
with the addition of Bozja as probably the best option 71-80
Just swap deep dungeons with bojza
well the problem is he does dungeons. I playing DRG so is farming dungeons not the best option
welcome to DPS!
or did he use the squadron system from lvl 30-52?
yeah thats a decent alternative too
Does those floating crystals have any importance or just aesthetics
o
so other regions have different variations of crystals?
fitting their respective aether?

Ok....maybe my brain is just not working, but I can't find the NPC to get these gloves from
Can anyone help?
I've gone there and searched all the vendors, but I don't see them
very sad, that square enix dont upgrade the squadron system like the trust system in shb
Squadrons were basically trust prototypes
Also they were added for existing content, not made with the dungeons like trusts are
Yeah squadrons were only introduced in 4.1
For the marauder the skill Defiance.. to turn off I just recast?
your tank stance is a toggle yes
Ok...so I got the gloves to use for glamour, but they won't equip. they have an X by them
They're for casters and your gear needs to be higher level than the glamour item
I've been wondering this for a while but
when do you unlock the WT update that includes SB content
Wt update?
Hey guys, returning player here.. So i've got the expansions till Stormblood. Wanted to buy Shadowbringers.. when I go on mogstation to buy it i get redirected to a website to buy Endwalker .. which says the following: "This product also includes Stormblood and Shadowbringers expansion packs, which will only be provided at the release of Endwalker." .. does that mean I cant play Shadowbringers till Endwalker is released or am I reading this wrong ?
I've already finished MSQ not the post patch one
You can it's just being awkward
Someone will probably post a usable link shortly
Wt has random objectives each week
It means you'll have access to shadowbringers when endwalker comes out
If you buy endwalker
You only get Shadowbringers + Stormblood when Endwalker releases, if that is what you are asking.
Oh, you sure? it seems weird
and you've done the omega raids and ivalice raids right?
It just hasn't picked any stormblood ones
@faint flareso non casters cant use them even for glamour?
No
No
Casters only
You can buy shadowbringers separately to Endwalker for now
hmm I cant find a seperate option to buy shadowbringers in the ffxivstorehub
Does Shb relic have anything timegated you need to do in it? (stuff that you need to wait for daily / weekly reset)
No
Ok dope
EU btw
in TEA, is it random who gets the 2nd water debuff? or is it always healer to healer?
lemme see

nope.. can't put it in cart, lol
The stack water? It's anyone in the stack
yeh I have
Pc download
lemme try on chrome.. perhaps Edge is being weird about it
Is ffxiv like other mmo's in that there is a beta test / test realm? Or will we be going into endwalker totally blind?
no, totally blind
There's lots of detail in announcements, and there's a press tour
if there was a beta test realm we wouldve all been spoiled by the story
but we don't get any hands-on time as players
is there an actual point in doing the Large (L) Charity Temple leves? They seem to give 1/10 the rewards vs the regular Large ones
That's the only "beta" some people get to play
Waaaaay too story based for a beta world
There's an influencer beta
media tour is just one single bossfight at a time
With ndcs etc.
Shadowbringers media tour was Dohn mheg
They'll pick the least story spoilering dungeon
Stormblood was Shisui
AKA: Optional? 😛
Dohm mheg wasn't optional
Oh
We haven't had optional levelling dungeons since sb
Well, not sure if i should call them optional if the GC requires you to do it...
And with the extra story opportunities afforded by trusts I hope we continue this trend
Here's another question - i saw on the preorder page that if you pre-order you get access a few days early, does that mean that all the housing will (potentially) be bought up before people who don't pre order can get to it?
Housing won't be til 6.1
Housing isn't on expansion launch
Gotcha
It's 6.1
They said that already iirc
3 months after give or take
Well that's reassuring to know, ty ^^
Don't want to muddy up the main expansion launch with optional but mental shit like that
Even with Stormblood and Kugane/shirogane, housing was delayed slightly
So people could do story
It would be bugs bunny time:
Housing season!
Story season!
Housing season!
Story season!
Story season!
Spoiler!
Is there any way to pause cutscenes?
Not all of them iirc
Anyway guys, what about this?
But usually opening the auto advance menu pauses then
Eh, doesn't seem to be working on this one
Only those with an actual confirm button )small golden thing on the right) and only on that moment, and even then the camera keeps spinning to a point
sucks when I need to get up to do something during a cutscene and I need to miss it
Laptop op.
Hey I got a question for you all
Just temporarily remove one eye and leave it in front of your screen. Problem solved.
If I buy an edition then my subscription time runs out, do I still get to explore trial content? Do I get the trial content with somewhat relaxed limitations? Do I lose all access to free trial content?
Mm thats interesting
Cause you're not a trial account anymore
Hey guys, I wanna buy those retainer books in store to auto get retainer 70
Is it worth it?
probably not
Also, how would I gear them? Lvl 70 scrips?
retainers are an idle game, there's no real reason to rush to level them
hi hi, anyone else have their friend try and register for the free trial and fail cos of error i2501?
so a friend wants to create a new account, and his friend as well, both different networks (obviously cos they dont live together), both no vpn
i tried on my own network as well, still getting the same
:/
is creating a new acct that hard nowadays

Assuming you already play through Steam:
where is the mailbox in ishgard?
sorry how do u reach here? is it under additional under
It's on the front page of your mogstation account
South of the Last Vigil aethernet
ohh im still in trial version maybe thats why i cant access it
Yeah you can’t, you need to buy the game on steam for it to show
Since it will give you 30 days for free when you buy it
can i check how many days i have left for the trial?
can you set the Firebird size to be small like Bahamut?
you have 9999 days left
Theres no time limit for the trial, you play as much as you want
With the limitations it has
Bizarrely, no
ugh so sad 😦
that is wack, hope they fix that
ty tho
i see... another questionn, if i went ahead and buy the starter edition will the time limit applies then?
Yes
Buying the game gives you the first 30 days of sub time included
After that you have to pay monthly
When you buy the game you effectively stop being a free trial account
And CANT go back
does expansion includes 30 days of sub time?
No
i see thanks guys!
are dps meters still taboo?
!faq ACT
Advanced Combat Tracker (ACT) can be used to view and record combat in real time to see player damage, healing, etc. ACT logs can then be uploaded to FFLogs to compare your performance with other players.
Please note this software is technically against the FFXIV Terms of Service and should only be used for personal improvement. Mentioning ACT/Parsing in-game, particularly to harass other players, is likely to result in punishment against your Square Enix account.
you can use them its NBD
Don't talk about them ingame.
If I preorder Endwalker Digital Collector's Edition for Windows, will I still be able to play Heavensward on pc? I bought the Complete edition for ps4
Heavensward is in the starter edition
Along with arr
Endwalker gives you stormblood and shadowbringers in November
Which are the best characters to use in the trust system?
they perform similarly
where is western western la noscea
So yes?
No
If you're trying to get there for the first time, you can talk to the ferryman near the Fishermen's Guild in Limsa and take the ferry to Aleport.
Oh okay, thank you 🙏🏼
@jade quartzim in aleport but can't find western la noscea, it's telling me to report
can you link your character/ glam for another person to inspect ?
Aleport is in Western La Noscea...
Western La Noscea is the zone
Aleport is the little town in that zone
the tome exchange is over? for the irregular tome event
yes
Will the Endwalker mount be available to purchase after the release of Endwalker like the Grani mount?
what does it mean when it tells me to report to western la noscea
how do i get from B to A?
the one with the collectors edition or the one after hitting all classes to 90?
yes
with the collector's edition
flying
^ You'll have to unlock flying in that zone
you can upgrade to CE after release in mogstation
Can hold on to the tomes for the next event and spend them then
how much do u think it'll cost? 
thanks ! glad aren't a total waste
I'm in US
i think its 20
20$
ahh ok
cuz regular is 40 and CE is 60
how do i get samurai
get to lvl50 and own stormblood
should then be a quest available in ul'dah to unlock it
Hey guys, can someone tell me some good ways to make gil profit in ffxiv? i have like 100 hours plus and have no clue on how to make money in here. in others mmo's there is some meta places to farm and key items to farm for money, here in FF seems there is not. Can someone help me out?
Its mostly a matter of doing market research or just doing things like group treasure maps
Theres no get rich quick scheme
People just play the game and do roulettes and stuff
hello i just downloaded final fantasy and started it for the first time. what is the best server for northern germany? chaos or light?
Basically anything “Meta” means huge supply means razor thin profits
There are quite a few ways to turn spare time into money though
!faq worldpick
You can play on any world on any datacenter within FFXIV. Aside from the languages spoken, the physical location of the servers, and the status of each world, there are no major differences. This also means population on a given server is quite meaningless.
The majority of content is cross-world, with the exception of Free Companies, Linkshells, and restrictions when visiting other worlds.
If you don't mind where you play, choose a world that is Preferred or New for character creation bonuses. Check world status by using !status <world name> or via the Lodestone. For information about the status types, use !faq worldtype.
Notable worlds:
- Balmung & Mateus (Role-playing)
- Tonberry & Kujata (Large amount of Oceanic players)
- Moogle (Large amount of French players)
- Shiva (Large amount of German players)
ANY CENSUSES OR WORLD STEREOTYPES BEYOND THIS IS INACCURATE BIAS AND SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY
Iirc shiva is on light
oh thank you!
All the EU servers are in frankfurter iirc
will I suffer lacking of MP regen if my Resistance weapon go full CRI/Deter?
as WHM
You are Healer? What job?
White Mage
Not if you're playing smart
Using lucid and thin air
Lilies since they don't use mp
Etc
I have 147 point left. SpS or Piety? Don't think SpS would make much difference
Do retainers need armor or just weapons?
Honestly piety is regarded as a dead stat to a large degree, especially since whm has more non mp tools than the other 2
Yes
Retainers go off average ilevel or total gathering
Hmm okay so give em armor gotcha
I think they made a joke about that in ff14 in a nutshell thing

So i can profit good with being a miner and botanist?
i have no crafting profission yet
Kind of...? You can gather cookie mats
Any good profession overall for profit?
you can make some pocket gil but hardly good ...
is there any good reason for a level 80 pld to be hardcasting holy circles?
Although the ones that can make furniture in particular
No
figured
Hardcast clemency if you're very far up a creek
yes
But that's a separate issue and should almost never be done
Guess the odds are not in your favour
yeah, I was confused because I did a was doing expert roulette and the pld pug tank was hardcasting holy circles
I think in opener?
thinking "I'm pretty sure that's not a thing you should be doing"
Sometimes PLD pull with holy circle
That's Holy spirit
!skill Holy spirit
Crit, det, skill speed
skill speed to tier > crit > det > ten
ok ty
are you able to level fishing in diadem?
yes but it's slower than ocean fishing
alright
For levelling fsh
got fsh from 10 to max in about 2 days because of ocean fishing
Honestly you just desynth your fish into other diadem mats so if you feel like levelling cul desynth at the same time it won't hurt
Since ocean fishing desynth is farbage
I have a few questions. I apologize for the long message in advance. I am brand new to MMORPG games and I have not played any of them. I have only seen videos. I am really interested in this game though.
- Would I be able to play the game with a friend?
- I am a support main in almost every game I play, so is starting as a support class viable?
- Is the game completely free up until level 60?
Yes, not really, yes
You can play healer but you're expected to dps when healing isn't necessary
There is no "support" role but many jobs have support elements
note that most of the story is single-player, you only really team up for instanced dungeons
getting into a party with the free trial needs a slight workaround since neither of you can create a party
- The game is mostly a single player RPG that has multiplayer dungeon crawling. Yes and no.
- As long as you equate support with healing, absolutely.
- Yes, completely. Though there are some frustrating restrictions (especially when it comes to playing with a friend)
It is more of a single player rpg with mmo elements but all dungeon/boss content is multiplayer
Ok, this all helps a ton. Thank you all so much
how do I do eureka stuff?
start the quest*
ohh rhalgrs reach
nvm I think I found it
Entrance is in kugane iirc btw
sometimes during a dungeon, I hear the SFX of duty finder completing a queue
what does it mean?
^
oh I see, thanks
So im in the gold saucer, and it sent the announcement saying the lord vermilion thing is going on, and then literally not even 5 seconds later said entries are done. Is that nomral? lmao
Oh that was a gate event closing.
Those run every twenty minutes and the PA announces when they close. You’ll frequently see announcements of the stage closing at the same time they announce card or verminion tournaments.
anyone knows how much time do preferred servers take time to unlock? Waiting from 11 AM for Loiusoix EU to unlock lol
!faq serverlock
Standard, Preferred, and New Servers will dynamically open and close themselves from newly created characters depending on how many players are online. To ensure you're able to make a new character on your server try waiting or doing so at a less active time of day.
Congested Servers will not unlock for new players or transfers until Square Enix removes the Congested Status.
So the exact opposite kind of times you want to be waiting for
wow thank u for that kat that will be super useful
eh, looks like i will have to wake up in the middle of the night to create a character pepesad
not necessarily though it will objectively be easier
Ok, how do I redeem my pre-order bonuses?
Enter preorder code on mog station
Wait for them to appear in the mail
If ps4 skip step 1
ok
No they won't be instant
doesnt matter if preodered for pc, it'll be redeemable on ps4 too right?
Provided you have a pc and ps4 license in the first place
You'll also need to buy Endwalker for both platforms to play it on both
I plan to play Endwalker on pc only
then the answer is no
you must buy a separate copy of endwalker to redeem on ps4 like Kat said
it would be the same account but you must buy it twice for two licenses
It'll arrive in your mail regardless of where you're playing it
where to buy zadnor riding map? I'm in the area but see no map to buy
I can pretty much solo eureka for glamour now right
Clusters.
Same vendor as bozja map
progress the quest a little if you don't see it in the vendor at the bottom of the menu in Zadnor
my friend had an issue where she could not see it and wasted her clusters, and had to slog through Zadnor
if you just got in, do some of the main questline and it should unlock and be visible from the vendor
if you're still lost, send a picture of the vendor you're talking to
If I bought the Starter edition for pc, then can I redeem it on ps4?
Hello, Is there a way to pay for sub with paypal?
Steam wallet uses paypal
does steam accept paypal? if you haven't bought it yet buy it through steam
so there is a limit on how many glamours you can add to your closet?
damn, 400 of each piece or 400 total?
damn damn, will they ever change that?
idk why im complaining im new to the game not like its full, but I can feel the impending doom as I keep buying outfits on the online store and shit
we wish lmao
outfits from the online store
old event outfits can be stored in the armoire
damn, need to hit the wiki about this now im confused
ugh I am not using steam unfortunate

HUGE Thanks to my Patreon Sponsors, who make this ...
the last fight in Zadnor is a CE or a raid?
Special Engagement that works the same as CLL
And thankfully with the same echo buffs if you don't have enough people
But Zadnor is still popular and dal gives stuff for the relic
Is there a plugin to mute certain sounds? Or some way to delete a sound file from the game?
If I have to hear this stupid laugh one more time after teleporting I don't know what I'll do
fem miqote voice 5?
Idk which one it is, it goes like
"hahaha, hahahaha. haaaaaay"
sounds like it could be a lalafell maybe?
If only it were contained to Limsa
uhhh turn off ambient sounds
It's everywhere
you find that in crowds a lot
^
Zadnor only gives the relic stuff that is needed a single time for all relics.
Bozjan Southern Front gives Relic stuff that is needed for every relic.
I'm not aware of a mod to remove it.
😭
I like the other ambient sound so I guess I'll have to deal with this while I slightly pop ateries in my brain each time
soundfilter does it
The game has ambient background crowd noise for areas with high player concentration
!! I'll have a look
tbh I installed it and at times crowded places can feel eerie now
As is often the case -- It's one idiot ruining it for everyone else 😂
because I think the game might reduce bgm in favour of the crowd noise
and filtering out the crowd noise doesn't undo that
so it's just.. weirdly quiet.
I suspect you can, but I gave up on trying to pinpoint it because for some reason ambient noise seems to require a restart to take effect (where other sfx seems to be hot toggeable)
Dalriada gives 3 raw memories for the final step and doing fates and CEs makes it respawn faster
zadnor also gives far more mettle if one cares about it
cluster farming should definitely be done in sf though!
What's the easiest lvl 50 squad dungeon to grind? They all seem rough so far

I'm reading to just run aurum vale
is lamia down again
When/If I learn/switch to another job, will I then be considered level 1 on that job, or will I be the same level as prior?
you'll start on level 1 at that new job
unless it's one of the jobs that start at higher levels like dark knight
aah nice
Is there a race for MCH that is best or are they all the same?
All the same
race doesn't matter
Races don't mean anything
yeah it is
No racism in chat 
I know why it would race! so this question of my friend
nonono omg
my friend asked me and i dont know, i want to see thats why
i was know it doesn't matter
🙂
thank you for answering
Can you have as many professions as you want?
yep
All
neat
Any tips on leveling gold smithing? I’ve looked up several guides but all point to getting maxed crafting equipment/potions before starting.
I’m familiar with levequesting and trying to get HQ items, but are there any other tips you can offer?
I have a question, if I'm on level 1 I do the main scenario quests only till level 80?
or all quests?
Main story pretty much
EVERYTHING is locked behind main story progress
what I would recommend to anybody looking to start crafting at this point is doing them all at once and looking up ishgard restoration guides
Hmm just took up carpentry, but when I equipped the saw, it unequipped all my gear. Do you manually have to set it all up again every time you want to do profession stuff?
Yeah, I’ve noticed that the classes tend to blend into each other.297”; you recommend any guilds in particular?
Just use gear sets
crafting jobs are deeply intertwined to the point where honestly leveling one by itself is almost as much effort as simply doing them all
like, literally all of them except cul involve each other
start by getting them all to 20
Even then, Cul’s food really helps
which you should be able to do pretty quickly
yeah, cul's food helps, but you don't need it, whereas you'll constantly need cross class of other classes to level the rest
and unlike the others, cul similarly does not need them
What about alchemy?
hmm you reckon it's better to level up to get a mount before I do proffs?
100 times yes.
alchemy has less crossover than the rest, but still enough that I'd say get it done
there's a powerleveling area later in the MSQ for crafters
How feasible is it for me to lvl crafting up to 50 before Heavensward? I really want the Golden Spectacles (lvl 50 goldsmith)
25 hours or about 500k gil
I assume you're on free trial?
Those things sold for 800k on the board. Fuck that
No, I’m paid
Just haven’t got to Heavensward
these.. things..?
you know you can't use them on ninja?
though I'm sure there's probably something with a similar look for ninja
They aren’t a glamor item?
uhh, I imagine there's a glamour equivalent, but I'm not certain
What is "TEA" and "BIS"?
they are, just can't be equipped for casters
that beiung said, do you care about there being lenses at all?
i can find you an alternative but they all have lenses otherwise. clear, that is
the epic of alexander, the latest ultimate (hardest content) in the game
Yes. I’m going for a blue shades vibe
bis = best in slot, the best possible gear
BIS for TEA is ilvl 475 synced and you'd lose melds with better gear
Wonder why some shades aren’t universal
not sure what that means but these okay for you?
100, not including the tome rewards from actually doing each encounter and finishing the raid
If they’re the only glasses I can equoip, beggars can’t be choosers
Though what classes CAN equip the spectacles?
think it's 100 + whatever the instance gives ya
100 what? No Revelations at all?
- yeah, sadly. everything else has lenses, and this is the most similar ones
- healers only
Man that’s dumb Square
so 1 expert roulette and one alliance roulette tomorrow and i'm capped. neat.
That's only for level 80 jobs
Well surprise surprise, I'm running as an udnergeared AST.
that was what Eleos was asking for
Ooh the Mythril Spectacles are universal
as he was asking for revelation I believe
the model viewer on garland tools is a bit weird so try them on in game
yeah Mythril Spectacles were what I suggested but I wasn't sure if you really wanted them because of the lenses
Brass Spectacles may also have a slightly bronzer color you may prefer
I would like the lens to be less round, but what are you gonna do
Suck it up and live with it? Or check out the marketboard?
Dude, chill out.
Something like these
Wait I did what?
Shiko, did you already check the Marketboard? Did you search Shades, Glasses, Spectacles, etc?
Yep
yeah, you mentioned it was ridiculous stuff was going for 800k
I’ll search again to double check but I did
that being said, I can find a few different shade options that may match that
number one being a relatively cheap MogStaiton item
the gold specs absolutely shouldn't cost 800k to begin with
I’m willing to drop some money
but again, the problem becomes that they don't work on nin
that is how the MB works
they exploit lazy people
5 bucks on MogStation unfortunately but you also a few additional articles of clothing
you should see bryn its wild how much people will pay to be lazy
I would never do anything like that awkwardly glances at giant gil pile on retainers
Can I change the color of the Lens and borders though?
not the lens, borders yes
Hmm
there is not much to work with in the way of shading lenses in this game sadly
Ahh so dying does not affects Lens
Maybe the pince-nez? they're round but red lens
yep
I’ll look those up
!glam Pince-nez
sorry too much coding required
please look forward to it
those are your only options to my knowledge. otherwise, check out #glamour-discussion to see if they know anything else
Np, thanks for the help

The spaghetti code would have a meltdown if there was multiple dye channels
good, let the spaghetti code melt. build better code on the ashes
so if I do a quest with 3 rewards and 2/3 of them are looks that I want I have to pick which one I like the most if I wanted to glamour it?
if you can only pick 1 yes
usually msq gear is just HQ vendor gear though
so you can buy the other one
recommended to gear up accordingly
you iwll look like a hobo for a large portion of early game no matter what u do
ie pick pieces you don't have that could use an upgrade
Hiya, I began leveling dark knight because everyone says the story is really good, so can i ask if that story ends at 50 or 60?
Oh dear.
I hate tanking, I just wanted to see the story ):
could watch it on YouTube if you cared that much
Mm, it's not the same :D! I will just suffer it.
Is it worth buying lancer/dragoon crystarium and/or Crypt gear for Reaper or will the starter gear for it be decent? I don't play dragoon at all currently
tanking's fun imo, but if you REALLY hate it and don't wanna do it because it's the end of you then youtube could be your last resort
buy scaevan gear as reaper will start out at 70 not 80
unless you mean you want to prep it for 80, then wait for the expansion to drop before doing so because cryptlurker will be made for poetics at that point
buy both, really, if you can spare the revelation
Going by the previous expansion jobs, their starter sets will be about 15 ilvl below the expansion max.
not like there's much else to spend on for the next 5 months
yeah I was just saying so because I assumed Nick has reason to spend revelation on other stuff
realistically you won't need 70 armor because the fastest will be to level in bozja 
otherwise augmented exarchic or other existing 80 gear will be fine
unless you want to spend literally hours in queues
Hello, I've had my share of FFXIV Free Trial and I'd like to uninstall the game to free up space for my next MMO venture. Many places say that uninstalling through Steam should kill the whole game, but that seems to only uninstall the launcher. Any game folder I see just amounts to less than 40GBs of installation, so I'm a little suspect that simply deleting those folders won't do much. I also don't see any ffxivuninstaller.exe in any game-related folder. What should I do?
roulettes tho Ropter
if I had to guess roulette queues will be bad enough that bozja might beat them still
all the tanks will be busy flying to the moon playing among the stars
did u need to have relic equiped when doing fates for atmas ( lv50 relic ) or could u do it with any class
atmas need it equipped iirc
you need the relic equipped as that class during fates yes
cheers
i remember else i would've done it as BLU
Shouldn't I have some SB/ShB data, however? Given in the trial I can see players in other expansions and items from there.
Furthermore the Steam page for the free trial also lists 60GBs in the requirements.
had a vague memory i was lvling lowbies while doing it but i guess i mixed it up
you don't get access to the zones and content which is the big meat of file size
I guess that is the case then. I'll delete folders and call it a job done. Thanks for clearing things up!
when can i get a mount traveling is pain in the a..
!faq mount
'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.
as is per the usual, do your MSQ
what is MSQ
that is what i am doing xD but aight thanks
well there is like 800 MSQ quests
is there a way to have a glamour plate linked to a gear set? Like my lvl 80 tanks for example who share gear, it of course needs to be reapplied every time I switch
never mind, I see the setting now, right click on gear set
Any decent AST guides anyone knows of?
for leveling?
Assuming WeskAlber probably has a leveling guide for AST?
yes
Awesome. I'll have to check it out to get an understanding of everything when I decide to try it. Reading tooltips themselves is confusing as fuck 🤣
At least for AST
WA has a guide for every job
whats confusing
Just the effects things give essentially
a lot of the tooltips are 5 miles long because they have different effects in diurnal or nocturnal
the tooltips contain the info for both diurnal and noct sects
umm i just bought the shadow bringers dlc which includes stormblood(?) how do i activate them on my square account cause i don't see it activated since i cant make a viera character or the other one
im on steam btw
I know I've been told they have like 4 or 6 cards but realistically only 2 are used?
and you own ARR right?
you use all of them
See that's my point. Idek what Diurnal and Nocturnal is xD
is that the base game? if it is yes
nocturnal = shield
AST cards are all the same there’s nothing to memorise about them except blue on melee, purple on ranged
I'll just need to watch the guide lol
where do i find the input codes for the dlc ?_?
if you bought it on the SE store you should have gotten an email
if you bought it on steam its in the cd keys
ast cards used to have different effects, several of which were useless, but these days nothing to be concerned about beyond borders
Are bozjan plat/mythril coins only from Dalriada?
they drop from zadnor in general after you've done the story
Hello, can I like import someone's HUD configurations?
yes if they give you the file
ok i found it ill try it and hopefully it works, if not ill be back lol, ty!
Do people share these files somewhere online ?
¯_(ツ)_/¯
okie, ty
Is it possible to find guild as tank?
yes
nice
guilds arent classist
well, mb, meant raid spot
FC's take almost anyone
not guild per se
!faq meta
ofc you can
raid statics arent classist either
this isn't wow
you can raid with anyone in the DC
hey if I hold "X" it will hide other people's names. Is there a option to toggle that ? so I don't have to keep pressing X ?
I mean coming from wow, it's easier to win the lotto than to find a open spot as tank of a decent guild
Outside of: we'd like to get the full party diversity buffs a lot of the time
since the raid tier is a bit old it's not the MOST active but tanks re pretty to get in to a group
people want any and every tank
Nice
amazing what happens when the devs balance the game!
pat pat, you look like an abused gamer 
ff14 is better than wow
understandable have a good day
it's 2021 and we still seeing racist and classist game ck ck
Oh, and also, in FFxiv, FC is the guild equivalent, but FC is more for social
Raiding is done with Static, which is... like Guilds but only raiding
My FC has 200 members roughly
I’m on planet goblin which is also a little less populated
what are the best ways to farm allegory tomestones? been getting revelations by the bucketload due to zadnor, but have no allegories x.x
Do roulettes on a level 80
lvl 80 dungeons or hunt trains
Zandor gives revelation?
ye
CE?
kk
the revelation counts are minimal
might be minimal, but you spent a few hours in bozja/zadnor and it caps way faster than expected x.x
is it just me
or does Eureka look like MHW?
How the heck do we do eureka stuff I'm level 4... just beating things up
Very true
ideally you're in a group that's chaining notorious monsters
but yeah.. outside of that it's pretty much just.. kill. reward. kill. reward.
you talk to krile at specific levels
it does tbh
should have a ! over her head at the appropriate levels, but the quest themselves aren't quest quest, you don't get anything in your quest journal
anemos is lush open jungles and rivers
you basically are told "go here and find the thing"
go to location and right click the glowy bit
she won't tell you the exact locations so you can either do things the old school way and read (
) or google them
it is a bit esoteric, gamerescape has a quest list on each respective page for the zones and it should direct you fairly well on where to go
I just killed a NM and got 9 crystals?
what kind of crystals.
those are needed to progress your relic
err, eureka weapon
basically, that's what you want to be doing as much as possible.
anemos right? those are used to upgrade ur relic at geroldt
should tell you how many you need
anemos crystals can also be exchanged for proteans if you need those first
why they had two currencies at the start i will never know
I wish you could trade pagos crystals for frosted proteans
same
they're basically useless since you get so many more than you need by the time you have all the frosted proteans
I didn't find frosted proteans bad, but I was in a eureka discord that had people @ing cassie preps
which is basically "hey come instantly fill your kettle"
its scaling sucks, i don't know why i was getting so little at some point, but then getting half a bar per NM
and i'm aware it's party size / instance size but it was not consistent
the kettle fills fastest from the high level monsters, so when people farm to spawn cassie it's really rapid
i'll fill your kettle 



how many crystals do I need for the cool lookign armor in eureka
200 - 300 pyros crystals if memory servers
you need the relic weapon up to there and discovering 50 logos actions tho
160 hours
+1 needs 55? and +1 is the one that has the glow
the pyros for the first set is the easy part
the glow also needs hydatos crystals as well
the hydatos part takes a lot longer to grind
yeah hydatos is he annoyong one
and then at that point.. might as well dip into BA for the ORB

so what are jobs? is it like mining and stuff in WoW ?
jobs are basically the classes
there's a 'base class' for starting ones like lancer -> dragoon
or gladiator -> paladin
but this is a holdover from the old system, and you can treat them like the same
crafting/gathering is the same idea, they're just their own classes
Oh so classes transition to other classes?
No
kael's got this
class into job

gladiator is the class, paladin is the job
the terminology is weird
¬¬
but gladiator and paladin are basically the same thing
they're not really that different all in all
theyre called jobs in other FF games
gladiator is basically paladin before paladin
gladiator is a crippled pally
you get the same skills, all that changes is that at level 30 you get a different name
and are classes / jobs locked into a role? By role i mean are paladins always healers? or do they have dps variants or tank variants etc
Class and job is basically interchangeable
it's a holdover from the old 1.0 version of the game. it is really esoteric for new players and i hate it
paladins are not healers
paladins are tanks, and yes
the word class is basically just a trap to make things confusing that exists because legacies are hard to get rid of in mmos
paladins are tanks
paladins will always be tanks, white mages will always be healers
Yes they're role base
and yes, every job has a specific role
Ahh kk
all classes have to do damage tho ye
Even healers
there's tanks, phys ranged, melee, spellcaster, healer, gatherer and crafter
kk, and the game has addon support? e.g. a dps meter
the first 3 are grouped as disiple of war, next two disciple of magic, of the land, of the hand
!faq ACT
Advanced Combat Tracker (ACT) can be used to view and record combat in real time to see player damage, healing, etc. ACT logs can then be uploaded to FFLogs to compare your performance with other players.
Please note this software is technically against the FFXIV Terms of Service and should only be used for personal improvement. Mentioning ACT/Parsing in-game, particularly to harass other players, is likely to result in punishment against your Square Enix account.
no, but actually yes.
you can use it but its against TOS
!faq quicklauncher
Oh damn
this game doesn't have a lot of wow addons
it has no official add-on support, and it's against TOS
just do not show, do not tell
you can use them, practically every serious player does
it's just advisable not to mention it in-game ever
it was updated after a bad case of witch hunting occured
mods/damage meters are not detected whatsoever. as long as you don't talk about them you will not have a problem.
thats such a weird dynamic xD usually if somethings against ToS a discord server pounces at me even if i mention it
it's to prevent toxicity/egoing with damage numbers
basically what it comes down to
Hello, if I get an armor piece and then sold it, will it be in the glamours or will be deleted from there too?
they don't want people to put others down for bad damage or something right
so im guessing streaming the game with a damage meter is a bad idea
deleted
!faq glamours
'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.
if its on a plate, it'll remain on the plate
that's honestly fine and is done
but inside of the dresser itself, it won't be there no
basically just don't use things you see in a damage meter to bitch at people in game
Ahh right
streamers will not be banned for doing so unless they're toxic about it, and that's only if an SE mod happens to awtch
which has happened though but tehy're not gonna instaban if they see x famous high end player use a parser
about the "don't harass people for being bad" thing
just looking at the jobs, ninja seems the most cliche...so perfect for me
it's more officious to cover their bases, really they don't care as long as you're chill about it
yoshi p has uploaded a log on fflogs for last tier so
he definitely has used it at some point
the way I see it they're just covering their ass
can i play instruments in the free trial
cool ty
i was hesitant to answer because you'd think there'd be some anti-botting restriction in case people start spamming bard noises on alts
ninja's a great job, my favorite melee
looks cool, i noticed theres a summoner tho o.o and im a sucker for necromancer type classes. Is it a pet based class?
it has a single pet that attacks yeah
- spoilers, bro
- ||you basically go to the church and find Cid. Alphinaud also shows up to help fix things. You 3 need to go find Cid's old airship but that's being guarded by dragons in COerthas. After helping the local Ishgardians with their business, they let you into the area with said dragons and you get the ship back.||

how many people are in a raid?
8
yep you can look on there for it
8 for hard content, 8-24 casual
and how do i get there the trial?
I don't think you do the trial via steam
more sales for the game
you can do free trial on steam, as vinyl note its usually listed as "demo" rather than trial

I cant find it

nvm found it
do different mounts have different music?
yes and no
some say MNK, NIN, SMN, AST, GNB
there's 2 sets of generic mount music. "Rider's Boon" and "Borderless" (First is ARR generic music, 2nd is pretty much everything else's)
but there's also mounts with their own music
and if i like it what should i buy to be as cheap as possible?
namely extreme trial mounts, they play their respective trial's theme

For crafting, I'm not limited to slots correct? I could do them all and level them at the same time?
yes you can do them all and its strongly recommended to level them all anyway
