its a switch on the top left
oh
what is the most populated light server?
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

Is there any reason I wouldn't be able to start the Conjurer class quests? Madelle no E-Sumi have the job quests for me
like fr?
Did you talk to the guild receptionist first
have you completed your current class' lvl 10 quest?
Or that
Yes. I'm level 56 BLM
I will tonight's session still in limsa
Talk to Conjurer's Guild Receptionist
Talk to E-Yumi San
Congratulations you are now a Conjurer
Then level your Conjurer to 30 and do the class quest to get a sidequest for a free unicorn mount 
Why is this game so painfull to set up
Because it's old as fuck
so no one have the answer? 😒
what's so hard about it? 🤔
So when I talk to the Guild Receptionist, she doesn't give me a conjurer quest, just small talk
Maybe if you waited longer than three minutes and didn't use unamused emoji somebody would have an answer
There's more people here that don't use Steam than people that do use Steam
I regret purchasing on steam lol
maybe you have taken the quest
Check your weapons and see if you have a conjurer weapon already
Or your inventory if your weapon space is full
should I get augmented primal gear or shire gear?
I do not have a CNJ weapon
Shire gear
ty
soory diditn mean in like a bad way..
Check your journal and see if you have an active CNJ quest
whats max eureka level?
60
I may have discarded the cane, looking at my Complete quests, I need to cane lol
You need mental help
Just kidding
I just notice I can write in my mastercard and I guess I dont have to use any steam wallet money, is that righyt
?'
Calamity Salvager should have the weapon
You're not wrong lol
Market research
Go to the Calamity Salvager at Mih Khetto's Amphitheatre and look for the CNJ weapon
the initial lv1 weapon isnt on the calamity salvager
go buy it from geraint in the market area
See lack of thing that costs 500 Gil in materials on market
Make 10 of thing in a couple minutes
Oh it isn't?
So no one here have used * steam wallet * to buy for sub?
Sell for 50 000 each
its not a unique reward
thats correct, steam wallet is only 1 option to pay for sub
theres other options
I just bought the cane on the market lol
Overpaid for sure too
in general, how important are raid buffs in endgame content (non-speedkill?) i know all the regular "play what you want/better to play something you're good at/" etc etc but in a vacuum with all other things similar, how much difference would raidbuffs make?
A good Samurai with no raid buffs will outperform a shit ninja with trick
If that's what you're thinking
Are there any npc merchants that sell a lvl 60 dancer weapon? I've turned my retainer into a dancer but threw away my starter weapon as I was levelling dancer so I don't have one anymore. I don't want to spend 99k for one on the mb
Just buy shire
no what im saying everything else is equal in this hypothetical
each person is 100% comfortable with their class, they all have perfect rotations and uptime, literally everything is absolutely the same between each of these two imaginary parties EXCEPT one has raidbuffs and the other doesnt.
Where does rdm start at? I know I can’t get mch and ast since they’re MSQ locked, but I just got to lv 50 during ARR so I wanna pick up some new jobs.
im wondering how much difference buffs would make in that situation
@leaden ginkgo uldah
Thanks
@lilac flume i dont understand this question because all dps except 2 have raid buffs
so it would be impossible to make a team without raid buffs
are you saying if they refused to use raid buffs?
then maybe each team is the same but one team uses raidbuffs and the other doesnt
yeah
then it would make a huge difference
you cant clear savage without lining up raid buffs unless your team is already over geared
If it's the exact same party comp then yeah
Classes with raid buffs are balanced around their existence
But the other side of the is everyone uses them for their own good as well anyway
yeah im trying to decide whether i should play monk or sam in my raid group
i find both classes pretty equally fun but if brotherhood will make or break us then im leaning towards mnk
it wont
It won't
your rotation would be incorrect if you didn't use raidbuffs anyways
because samurai dmg will make up for it
so its a moot point
and unless you have huge duplicates in your party comp like 2whm/2sam/2blm
is recommended gear good to use ?
yes generally
While levelling it's good
Once you're comparing classes you're taking raid buffs out of the vacuum you put them in
So what is currently the best way to level alt jobs from 1-80 ? havnt played for 2 years
the current comp is:
-gnb, pld
-ast, whm
-nin, brd, rdm, [me with either mnk or sam]
For thr most part
!faq altlvlguide
for my raid
play whichever one youre better at
And samurai does more damage than monk
ah okay so nothing changed 😛
im equally good at either and i find both fun, which is why i thought brotherhood would be the deciding factor
flip a coin
Yeah samurais higher damage to take advantage of the buffs everyone is providing is probably stronger there
Brotherhood is only what, 5% itself
brotherhood is a 90s buff so it aligns less often if you're really going to be picky about that
So it's not much itself vs a high personal dps job like sam
Like genuinely you have the best raid buffs in the game there
sam rotation makes use of minute buffs really well though
you could play sam and feed off everyone elses buffs and get dopamine from big number
If Sam wasn't viable in that situation it's a dead class
so monk's dps + brotherhood would still be inferior to sam using the raidbuffs the group has?
Honestly? I think so
They're equal. You can see the fflogs rdps
Assuming similar play level
its less about inferiority
And see the difference
and more about what you want to play. typically because 90s buffs are in a weird window, occasionally party members will have less to contribute during the duration of it
but that doesn't mean there is 0 value
since every other use will align with trick
That comp is very capable of boosting a sam
comp matters very little in the scheme of clearing things, besides duplicates limiting lb gen and forcing raidbuff overwriting
as long as you run a standard comp you can do the content
even in a hypothetical situation of any 2 tanks/2whm/2sam/2blm or 2mch you are perfectly fine to clear the content provided people press buttons good enough
and do the mechs
this being your 0 raidbuff hypothetical
i might lean a bit more towards sam since monk has such high reliance on positionals
i know sam has positionals as well but monk has to go full happy feet to hit everything
some fights this tier really sort of push you to plan your TN/riddle usages really well
or have a tank that adjusts well for you
but its not like monk suffers
just choose what you want to the most
like i said both are equally fun to me but since mnk has more to keep track of it might be easier for me to screw up something when i also add doing mechanics to the mix
the point overall is not to worry about what "contributes best" to a party
i should also try SMN and see if i find it fun
and rotations are muscle memory, so the more you practice the less you need to think about them and can more easily do them in the context of an encounter
all roles have been filled in my party so i have some leeway to choose what i want
This guide says hunts should be done while leveling alts... i dont know how to get the hunts that actually give decent exp or if i have them im not sure how to utilize it
the hunt log
so for early levels this would be in reference to the hunting log
and later levels about the centurio/clan nutsy daily lv1/2/3 hunts
60+
yes centurio hunts would be what you're looking for
does exp reward even scale?
What the hell is "Unable to complete version update. [30437]" 😐
Upon trying to install the game
based on where you pick them up, (HW at forgotten night, SB at kugane/rhalgrs) you get exp appropriate for your level based on the level you take
!faq errorcodes
I was in the middle of updating FFXIV for Stormblood and got the following error
unable to complete version update 30437
While looking at the launcher, I could see that it said updating ex2 - ##(version numbers) if you are able to see this as well, what you want to do is go into your
FFXIV install folder \SquareEnix\FINAL FANTASY XIV - A Re...
try this @spring dirge
ok
ok, thank you
Hi, I'm trying to pre-order Endwalker CE using paypal and its asking me to link a payment card when i already have paypal funds, i bought ffxiv complete edition some time ago using the same method n it worked fine
any1 know?
does leatherworkers make DNC gear?
jobs' gear really aren't tied to materials
this isn't wow
it's a case by case basis
This is working great, tysm. The default launcher was running at about 2 mb/s and this third party launcher is running at about 100 mb/s
which Materia is best for warriors ?
crit > sks to hit 5 fell cleaves in IR > det > >>>> ten/dhit
Sam is meele yes?
yes
Is there a way to make empty slots invisible? in Hotbar
No they just yeet their katana

which area has the best fates for seal farming?
Just trade in dungeon gear for seals
Thank you ❤️
Highest level that you can do
ShB doesn't give seals atm
The heck does Nature's Minne do? Do i give that buff to the healers or the person who is getting healed
the person being healed
is there a time limit on the free trial?
no
sweeeet
Anyone know the settings for controller hotbar timers?
Direct Hits. Meaning they can't miss?
Meaning they do more damage
direct hits are 'mini crits' like in tf2
Direct Hits are mini crits
nothing to do with accuracy
accuracy is always guaranteed as long as you're equal level to the enemy you are fighting
So Berserk gives me regular AND minicrits?
Are the modifiers static?
direct hit yes
the direct hit stat increases rate only
critical stat increases critical hit rate AND damage
which is also why it's considered the best substat in the game
And that’s why everyone loves crit
Good to know thanks
If you abandon a beast tribe quest, do you still lose your allowance or do you gain that back?
in terms of dps , which class leads?
Thank you! I'm being blocked by a quest for the vanu vanu, can't seem to progress with the reputation increase quest as it wants me to hand in the daily one instead so was looking to ditch it instead and redo.
All end up being equal
But a great SAM and BLM lead in personal DPS
hmm weird, you should be able to progress the rank up quest without having to turn in the current daily
whats SAM and BLM?
samurai and black mage
SAM and BLM are considered the two highest DPS jobs, but the damage difference between all DPS jobs is less than, like, 5%
ah ok
quick question, im escaping form a certain place and im fighting a magitek vanguard that is immune to dmg
cant find anything online
nvmd
think I got it
Read what the npcs said
There's magitek generators around that are shielding it
They do tell you what to do
yeah ran around a while and found it
so i have a question, sometimes as a PLD i am the off tank and sometimes i steal agrro without using provoke or anything that generate agrro
is tank stance on
Is your tank stance on?
nope
are you positive

i hope the main tanks is then
yep
and yeah is the MT stance on
they do
are they shirking you for some reason
Generally you wanna put tank stance on like, 10 secs after Mt pulls? Otherwise you may get too close on aggro
Even with shirk you wouldn't steal it with stance off
Unless the Mt was just not attacking
can you quick synth collectible rating or do you have to do individually to get the rating
Individual
What are the gathering nodes called that you use aetherial reduction on the items they give? I forgotttt
Hey guys so I'm currently on ShB and I'm loving it so far. Ever since I started FFXIV last year I've just focused on MSQs but now I'm thinking like after I'm caught up with the MSQs. What should I be doing?
I love lore so is there a list of important and relevant side quests that I can do for each expansion that can give more insight on things ?
I should probably get all the Aether currents In all the regions too Right?
And Of course Fashion is always end game everywhere haha
but yeah End game progression gears and everything...I wanna look at my classes and be like okay I'm literally maxed/close to optimal on this class in terms of gear now (for my classes) but how do I get to that point and what where how do I farm? Also is it even worth farming it at this point as EW is coming out later this year and endgame gear will shift again?
would also get all the free mounts that I like
so are these goals good? What else should I be doing after MSQs and everything, I'd appreciate it if someone can give me a detailed response and link to any guides or anything that can help me with stuff for someone who's only done MSQs at this point
!faq contentunlock
Ephemeral Nodes
Is there a guide like what to do after all MSQs, the important stuff
Oh thank u
So um how do I use that
I just bought the complete edition, did that include gametime and can I level past 60 now?
is there any significance of patron diety?
my service status says; Standard, Remaining days: 21 (free play period). Is it just not updated yet?
That is your free time
so the subscription time will start after that?
30 days you got for buying the game
You'll have to pay after those days are up yes
so what base class do i needa choose to be samurai?
If its just lvl unlock stuff, I THINK I have everything unlocked atm (excluding ShB stuff cus I'm like say 30% into story atm) but I am lvl 80, so I've unlocked everything technically?
Not everything if you skipped blue quests
I've skipped blue ones yes
Then you still need to go do them to actually unlock that content
I'm confused. I already had those 21 days of game time before I bought the complete edition, and the complete edition should include another 30 days but those don't seem to be added to my account
The 30days is for buying the Base game
So that link contains everything I should aim to unlock then , but is there a way to tell which ones are the blue ones
I feel overwhelmed a bit xD
Complete edition has the Base game in it
Oh so I had the base game already
Ye my friend got me a code for the game but I didn't know what exactly it included
Your mogstation account will tell you what you own
As always
It's the account management

what's the difference between standard and preferred servers?
so do i need to save in the game before i logout to capture changes? or is this like a standard mmo
Preferred servers give you a double xp buff until lv70 for all jobs
Normal mmo
Oh well I chose the wrong server then lol
ah ok, i only had 2 preferred servers but both wouldnt let me in ¬¬ so i created my first char on a normal server
It's not a needed buff
Was it ever mentioned which type of system EW will follow regarding job quests? (Either role quests and a job quest at max level, or job quests every 2-3 levels like SB and earlier)
best time to get into preferred servers is when nobody's online in that world
You'll be drastically overlevelled for the story
Role quests
damn...
For the bozjan triple relic quests at the end can the raids be done unsync'd?
Nope
Must be synced
Still goes by super fast with blue mages for Alexander/Omega
Even without them
thx, good to know
im confused, whats the "1" action bar and "2" action bar? They both have the same binds
ah nice
im guessing u can setup Shift + key and alt+key ?
yes
Alt yes
i personally use ctrl and shift
i don't touch alt since i use f1-f4 to select party members
I'm sending my friend here, he having issues with the game. Keeps getting ffxiv unexpected error. Not sure how to help with that.
sell them to vendors directly
Sell them
Yes
So i just unlocked red mage and it started me off at level 50
Are there any other jobs that are like that, that I'm able to do?
All expansion jobs start higher lvl
DRK/AST/MCH start at 30
Oh alrighty, stuff like samurai as well? That's sick
ye
Heavensward Expansion Jobs: Dark Knight (Tank), Astrologian (Healer), and Machinist (Ranged DPS). These jobs start at level 30 and require completion of the level 50 main scenario quest 'Before the Dawn'.
Quest Unlock Locations:
Dark Knight - Pillars(13,8).
Astrologian - Pillars(15,10).
Machinist - Foundation(8,10).
Stormblood Expansion Jobs: Red Mage (Caster DPS) and Samurai (Melee DPS). These jobs start at level 50 and require ownership of the Stormblood Expansion and a disciple of war or magic job at level 50.
Quest Unlock Locations:
Red Mage - Ul'dah(14,17).
Samurai - Ul'dah(9,9).
Shadowbringers Expansion Jobs: Gunbreaker (Tank) and Dancer (Ranged DPS). These jobs start at level 60 and require ownership of the Shadowbringers Expansion and a disciple of war or magic job at level 60.
Quest Unlock Locations:
Gunbreaker - New Gridania (11,11).
Dancer - Limsa Lominsa Lower Decks (9,12).
Oh god that makes me feel way better about maxing out everything now
Endwalker jobs will start at 70
I'm gonna cry that's so good
Whats goodie fam
I'm currently in pyros and have all 50 logos unlocked and gerolt is being stubborn and won't cough up the armor lol can any help with a reason as to why?
I'm glad I won't have to grind the reaper so much
Yeah then you remember people who have no idea how to heal will plague DF more
where do i find linkshells or a free company to find people on my server (ultros) to talk to / ask questions
Go to Limsa
Do you have a pagos relic done
Is it good to buy a lvl 70 boost if u can? I really care about the story but I guess I can just new game + that right ?
Thinking of doing it for Ninja and Dragoon
i wouldn't
if you care about the story then nah
its really not recommended for first time players to use level boost
What are the drawbacks
This is an extremely bad idea if you've never played
For alt jobs then it's whatever
the drawbacks are that you skip a good chunk of the game
Most people who skip quit the game within a month
if its your first time play, its pretty easy to be overwhelmed by the sudden amount of skills
- it costs a ton of money for a story and level boost
- you don't get the time to gradually and incrementally get used to the game, which can be overwhelming bc u get a bunch of skills dumped onto you
- you still need to do shadowbringers with a story skip anyway
oh a job skip
Oh I'm...like lvl 80 on Paladin, Gunbreaker and Samurai and 30% into ShB and currently levelling DRK from 60 to 80
oh you mean for alts
Yeah
the biggest drawback imo is that when you do msq on a lvl 70 it will give you like no exp and that msq xp is gone forever then
then feel free to buy a job boost if you're not interest in taking the time to level those alts
If I were to make a Miqo'te and name it "Hplovecrafts Cat," do you think a GM would force me to change it?
Not that I would
just make sure you take a moment to look over your tooltips and read up on the rotation
theres no drawbacks for alts imo
i mean, sure? i think it's just better to level them up if you're at that stage in the game to save urself the cash, but it's okay to buy if you're fine with the decision
But I'm curious as to whether they would consider that against ToS.
@rugged flicker probably
Yea I mean its just the story I'm mainly concerned about and I heard I can just replay the whole lvl 1 -70 class story with just new game +if that's true
it's in notably bad taste and the GMs aren't robots to where they can't recognize it as a literal allusion to a racial slur
so i would have to agree with cerb that you'd get warned if you got erpoted
Otherwise I've levelled samurai from 50 and GNB from 60 and I guess I'm okay with learning
yes this is true
you can NG+ job quests
This is true
Yeah but someone can report it. That's usually how names that make it past the filter are brought to their attention to begin with.
Great, thank u
right i am saying if it got reported, which it might, you would probably be told to change it
A) story boost and level boost are independent B) players boosting to lv70 just get all their kit and often have no idea what they're doing
Yea xD I've pretty much search on how to do rotations and all and have been doing fairly well so far haha
Tho no doubt Ninja on Controller..ps4...is gnna be oof
Controller is ez
It’s doable. Controller can be set up to access three hot bars at once without needing to manually switch between them.
Stupid levels of easy
:O
Any class is doable on controller
I guess I'll have to research more into it
Controller is very viable in all content
There's people who do Ultimates with controller
Some people on pc prefer controller
^
I'm on a laptop and I like using controller sometimes
But I have KB/M set up as well since I have my mmo mouse
So even if my controller dies in the middle of something I can easily switch control schemes and not get screwed over
im in la noscea, when i look NE there is a giant volcano, do we ever get to go up there
oh
You get close to its base and underneath it slightly but we don’t really pass it.
Click the glowy thing
see it, thank you
I was being told along the way I didn't need + 1 + 2 armor and could just get pryros
Yep
The job-specific sets have nothing to do with elemental sets
In anemos atm but going to head to pages and see if I can cop me a relic
You need to finish upgrading your weapon in anemos before being able to do the steps in pagos
Alright guess im staying in anemos lmao
Got any heavy hitters online
do i need to lvl up the base class to 30 before playing the job for example pugilist. do i have to lvl it up to be able to play monk. is there a more efficient way to do it? because i imagine you are not asking me to go through the leveling again?
Yes you do
Jobs are advanced versions of the respective class
Ie monks are better pugilists with the rest of their kit
yes but there is a more efficient way to lvl em up?
Alternatively, pugilists are just shitty monks
!faq altlvlguide
when you get monk its the same level as pug
unlocks content
thanks
!faq questicons
- These are how you reach the endgame and every other bit of content is locked behind it to some extent. MANDATORY
- These unlock a feature, instanced content, job actions, or a thing that is important for you to have. Do the ones related to your job/class and ones that unlock new content
- These usually have very little exp/gil as reward and are usually just part of the world/lore expansion. Mostly optional unless you are interested in doing them for the fluff
- These are quests you can do more than once, how often you can repeat it is up to the individual quest.
like to be able to dye your armor
Alot open up after finishing the levelling story of a respective expansion
Cause it's all the post patch content like dungeons and raids
can we set job crystals as macro icons?
yes
absolutely
it would be /micon "Soul of the <job name>" item
is there a hard cap on skill speed?
I'm in the process of leveling my DoH/DoL classes 'cause I spend a lot of gils on the MB to purchase gear and cosmetics and I want to be self sufficient. But is it enough to be a lvl 80 in those classes ?? Or is it way more tedious than that ??
it can’t get lower than 1.5s?
80 with the gear's fine
Any lower and you wouldn't be able to weave anything
what vinyl said, that and usually classes don't go lower than 2.3 at most with stats normally else it becomes a loss
Cause of skills innate 0.7s animation lock
most tanks stay around 2.37 to 2.45 ish depending on which set
I was told for MNK I can go ham on skill speed no problem
Nice👍
it depends on what you want to make yes
Monk bis hovers around 800 sks
if you want to make current tier armor and food, you will need a lot of investment in amteria
For reference
it's a lot of money
generally you can just craft, sell stuff, and buy stuff that way though
it evens out. i haven't felt a need to craft it myself when the upfront investment to do so is so much higher than just buying it myself
ok. so 1.5 is minimum for gcd. Got it. Is there a good resource I can refer to when looking for maxing stats?
Well balance has meld priorities for all jobs
In their respective resource channels
!faq stats
For stat tiering
thanks
do you think its possible for a sch to solo heal cidolfus
If I change races, Will I have to rebuy all the clothes I bought for the previous one I had. Example: Lalafell to MIQO’TE
No
not all no
No
Unless its racelocked(starter gear) or sex locked(when going from male to female)
only ones that are noted as "Fits: <race>" are things that won't work on other races
or Fits: <gender> if your swapping genders as well
Thank you, to all of you!
If I use cover on an ally while I have any damage reduction effect up, does it mitigate it for me?
great
Cover uses your mitigation opposed to the OG target
Again except hallowed cause that's cheating
would make cover actually useful
Didn’t use it a lot except on the healer when they mess up mechanics
Or a DPS for that case
On casual content, you dont really need Cover
They basically nerfed it to the grave from stormblood
Since it consumes gauge that you could use on Sheltron for yourself
It saved me from a lot of dungeon wipes to be fair
Thats on yer teammates being dumb, but true
unfortunately
So I'm capped on company seals again, anything I should use them on?
other than stockpiling pneumite for future anima relic grinds
Is there somewhere I can look up a specific FC? Doesn't seem like I can in-game
Not sure if this question has been asked elsewhere or too many times, but is the PS5 version of XIV free if we already have it on PS4? Or do we have to purchase that license as well like we would moving from PS4 > PC
O: awesome, thank you
Ventures, glam prisms, glam, crafter/gatherer manuals(they give a slight exp boost)
does it matter what class I pick for ventures?
Nah not much
How, I can't even land anywhere... for /lookout
You'll want to pick a class that you have some levels in for retainers, just for the quick exploration option. 🙂
nice file 
I can't post pic anymore I wonder why
discord is being fucky right now seems
appears discord is being a jerk today.
I just got into Heavensward, how important is crafting?
crafting/gathering is entirely optional
grrrrr
What's the easiest way to check non diadem breakpoints for gathering? Eg brash gold ore, I can see it when it pops up but I'd have to record it, not sure if it's the same across the same tier
Somewhere on a website?
How do I get to this Vista? https://i.imgur.com/BoKKtYQ.png
How worth is it to do?
I would say if you want to save gil in the long run and make some profit, get into crafting and gathering now. Go at your own pace with it
generally recommend waiting until max lvl to do crafting/gathering since its usually easier to do
have more options unlocked/to unlock, and you'll have a decent amount of starting gil
can be worth it if you don't want to pay gil to buy glamour stuff and would rather make your own, or meld/repair your gear
that said tho, don't really need it at all to enjoy the game or get the most of out it
Thank you for your response!
Land on the nearby rock and walk to it
hey guys, i was wondering what i should do with my allegory tomestones
It won't let me dismount anywhere

@heady swan
is there any guide that'll help me decide the stat allocation on the gunbreaker relic?
it's the first time i'm doing this sorta thing
Your meld priority
Majority of scenarios, max crit/det, rest into Skill Speed

ok i'll try that for now. thanks!
what should i do with my allegory tomestones, i'm maxed out atm
arr got new dungeons sets?
!faq poetics
Yeah the leveling dungeons got new stuff to replace the aetherial gear
For the ones that didn’t have sets of their own already
ahh ok nice
can someone explain to me exactly what does sheltron do?
the description is so vague
Makes your block rate 100% basically
And blocking is around 20-30% less damage taken
ok thanks
do you know a site to look all dungeon sets?
What are thief maps for?
Basically more special maps
They can spawn the harder version of the level 70 treasure dungeon
With 3 doors!
Try the pins in #glamour-discussion
if someone manually spawned that poetics bot reference you're referencing the wrong tomestones. i'm talking about the white and blue allegory tomestones. i would think it's a common question but i guess i'll figure it out somewhere else
Basically a message board
Like 5.3 or something?
yes
someone know what can i do with a directx error 11000002?
It exists Yes and won't give you bonuses
Do I have to do the class quests for gathering classes to progress them?
Technically no but they have some nice skills for gathering
Yeah, when boss does a spin for a mech and you hit the GCD as its spinning, yer positional is null; part of learning melee is knowing when boss is gonna do that and pop True North accordingly
i delayed the for a bit and did them later
level 50 is one of the time specific ones
Grants 3 stacks of Riddle of Earth, each stack reducing damage taken by 10% and nullifying all action direction requirements.
Duration: 10s
Maximum Charges: 3
Effect ends when time expires or upon execution of three weaponskills.
that helps
Boss turning is mostly set in stone
or just buy it off the MB
nobody know a solution?
Part of the fun for me, personally, is to figure out ways to do that
For the most part
Since bosses are scripted, when they turn is also scripted to a point
im new to the game and curious, how well does the (end)game reward player skill? i looked at lots of videos online and some say that the content is kinda easy or whatever, any opinions?
ultimates take about 100 hours of practice on average to clear
theyre ~18 min boss fights where nobody can make a mistake
so
ok
thats the hardest content in the game tho
ok so i just got carpenter class, did the first log quest, and now i’m level 3 and need to be level 5 to do the next guild quest. how do i level up carpenter lol
its easy bc they have played their jobs for 100's of hours alreadt
make stuff
@leaden ginkgo you craft
craft shit
Hello does anyone know when the complete edition sale ends on official website?
there is no sale
and other than ultimates? is there other content that's challanging? saw on youtube those eden savage fights (watched 12 i believe cause that popped up first)
wait
yes they are challenging
savages
@remote lintel it says its 60% off on website :/
so where do i get the materials for crafting , and what do i craft? just random shit?
but theyre not so challenging that casual players cant beat them with time and committment
and are you supposed to run those with a guild?
Vendors have mats for 15 levels after that you need to gather your own
youll have the most success running with a static raid group, but you dont need to
@woven sphinx where
can raid with anyone in the DC
@remote lintel https://store.eu.square-enix-games.com/en_GB/product/603887/final-fantasy-xiv-online-complete-edition
people dont usually raid with their guild
oh ok
i’ll just figure out how to get the materials until i have to make my own
@woven sphinx literally on the home page
then i’ll start gatherer class i guess?
ok thanks guys
@remote lintel oh im dumdum
it had the sale showing until I selected platform
then it took it away 😦
yeah that was kinda wack
Hello
o/
And keep it equipped
bottom right gearslot
At all times
yeah, from my experience with other mmos im not the biggest fan of pugging thats why im asking
then statics are the way to go
and what about daily stuff to do? will there be (at max level) items or currencies to grind?
not to mention leveling and gearing other jobs
cause the videos i watched make the game seem so casual and i was confused if ff14 even has an endgame similar to other mmos (say wow) where you have to grind your stuff and work towards something like item upgrades and what not
yeah right
the devs want you in the fights asap to get good gear
i got a fresh lvl 80 and was able to raid the new tier in 20 mins
theres no grind in this game unless you want to grind
the endgame gearing is time gated instead of grindy
we DO got timesinks if you want them, but you don't need to do them
raids reset weekly right?
Yes
and is the loot locked for the account? or for the jobs?
Character
alright
anyone happen to have old sb bis set lists for drg and whm?

What does True North ?
the action?
Do people macro their 1-2-3 combos?
no
!faq macro
Nvm i got it now
Macroing GCDs adds up to lost casts overtime, significantly harming your potential.
Check this video for a striking dummy comparison:
https://youtu.be/VgpUCgExvbA
i assume is what you were looking for, paragon
/macroerror off
Oh, thought people did to save up keys
to disable the "you cannot cast this skill again" messages and such
Every job can be for the most part comfortably keybound
worse case, you can just click a few skills that aren't use very often
Thanks Kael
like arm's length or super long cds
I'm selecting a Data Center, whats the difference?
none really
!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
In the same region, no difference
IDK I always start running out of keys very fast
What’s a good way to get wolf marks? I’ve never touched pvp but a hairstyle I want is locked behind it.
All jobs have like 30 keys or so
So if I choose Crystal I can play on both Balmung & Mateus?
And 3 hotbars
@leaden ginkgo frontline roulette
You can visit all servers in crystal yes
for the daily
Ah did that I was wondering if there was anything else
You'll create on 1 world for Fc stuff then you can visit other world's for hanging out
you can queue for the specific frontline of the day
queues are gonna drop off later in the evening when it starts getting past prime time, but just doing frontline roulette every day and you'll get it eventually
I see, I guess I’ll just do daily and get it in about a week. Not so bad. Thanks!
I have a question for a experienced ff 14 player
just ask
that is what we do
I got to that sweet samurai land in dlc 2
i wish i knew the answer but i've never used a time card
And then I did a duty finder and now I’m back at old area and I do not now how to get back
can he buy normal game time?
I’m at the Lominsa lower docks now looking for a ferry person
i removed the movementspeed skill, where can i find it?
cant find it in action traits
nothing spore
general in actions and triats
The guy at the ferry docks says he can go to costa del soul and the most or aleport
he may be out of luck then
ahh i see thanks
Can you see a ninja's nameplate when they are hidden in a city?
I’m looking here with no luck for some time now
I see it on the mini map thanks
is there a soul crystal for fisher?
None for any gatherer
Man could you always change macro icons LOL with /micon
Thank you 👍👍🎸
if i appllied a dot on mob and then i got a damage buff
i have to make another dot or it will increase my previous one
Heyo I am from Australia and I ve been wanting to play ff14 for a while now but when I try to download the game it gives me the Unable to download patch error, apparently it only happens in Australia so I am wondering if anyone has any idea on how I can play the game without paying double the money for a vpn every month?
guys im new to ff14 for my alt char its lvl 20 shud i spam palace of the dead ? or whats best to lvl as alt ?
if your role is dps POTD
Tank/Healer spam your highest dungeon u can enter except level cap dungeons
aha tyvm

specifically if youre a dps with long queues
otherwise just do the highest lvl dungeon
@tulip shale disable your security software/allow ff14 through the firewall, try using your phone hotspot wifi

buffs dont apply retroactively
yes the dot snapshots any buffs up when it applies
ok thx : )
Will i only be able to gather the luminous elemental crystals if I'm under the quest or will I always be able to collect them form now on every time I do fates?
Only if you have the quest
far right of the top one
😄
ohhh ok
brown-ish
what benefits do i get from leveling up carpenter
you can make wood stuff
at max level ususally
need to get enough yellow scrips for the recipe and gear as well
yes
Is there any way for me to practice rotations without having to wait for cooldowns?
not really
you can use Stone Sea Sky to quick reset it by losing and requeing it
since you don't have to load a new instance
go in -> do opener -> walk away until you "lose"-> get kicked -> start over
is the bot broken in kuppo?
!faq reaperbis
nope
cool I'll look it up, thanks
how do you remove a company action? I got the food one and I want to execute the reduced rates action
Which eden should i farm for bleak and lurid memories?
after i do a city of angels what other quest lines do i need to unlock bozja?
how sleeve draw works 180 cd
for gearing out gatherer retainers, what should I get them assuming they are 80?
Will Sargatanas be available for creating new characters on soon?
!faq retainerbp
@opal badge anything over that wont matter
woops wrng channel
alrighity, thanks
is it just give me another card ?
thanks . ||myself||
Is the fate Special Tarasque force a boss lvl? Like the Odin fate in the shroud?
Ohhh it sure does!
it's not just an extra card, it also forces itself to be a card that gives a seal you don't have, assuming you don't have all 3 seals already
Do you get anything special from it?
the fat chocobo TT card, IIRC
I think an achievement too
but you can get the card from an NPC or two now

what are magicked prisms used for?
thanks buddy
Annoys you
is it considered Taboo to buy a class/job boost ?
If it's your first playthrough yes
ig some rp, or gpose use magicked prisms
typically theres very little reason to buy a job skip
More often than not... way more often people quit the game shortly after doing that if it's their first time playing because they don't know what's going on at all
if your story isn't up there
since it doesn't really provide tangible benefits
when in instanced content you're synced down anyways
but its not taboo at all
Yeah job boost without story boost is pretty pointless
And story boost without job boost basically griefs you
You lose out on the mountain of experience from the story and free gear it gives you
nothing really, makes a cool effect
its basically consumable fireworks
i mean i am almost done with Stormblood and have zero motivation to Lv a job from 1-70
Oh that's much less taboo then
Then feel free!
i've used two job boosts
for those of you who use garland tools, is there an easy way to add entire sets of gear to crafting list?
Unless you waste it on SAM or RDM 
totes worth it
So I may have encountered a glitch
Not that I know of
I am not receiving rested bonus when I complete quests
Is there a way to see what level of relic weapon looks like on your character?
quest rewards are not boosted except with the extremely OP road to 70 buff.
well, worth a shot
Even if I complete quests in a sanctuary?
no. those two have no links.
just being in a sanctuary makes the blue part of your exp bar go up
rested is only for mobs
50% bonus exp to killing mobs or crafting or gathering
do you need CD key for free trial account if you are registering one?
no
Hmmm I think I understand
So I’m assuming using the food consumables only work with monsters
The 3%xp buff
your gear will be sync in bozja 430 even if your 270 ?
if you wanna sure
^^ ill save my poetics for relic
can only do bozja for the most part tho
When spending mettle for power boost, is there something to be wary about?
Like, can I spend too much mettle that it becomes an issue?
Or just grab all honors you can?
unless youre doin DRS or something you;re fine
Wait DRS?
yeah
when i was upgrading my anima weapon i got a weird item and weird ui how can i get my next step weapon
Hun, I thought DR Savage require some mettle to entry?
60-75 crystal sand and umbryte
welcome to hell
wdym hell ;-;
10k poetics
excuse me ?
10,000 poetics
welcome to the grind 

HW relic is actually the easiest relic
Its just poetics grind
And poetics rains from the sky nowadays
took me about 5 days of roulettes and coil runs?
where to get these two items
Where do I go to ask for help with Glamour stuff
at least the crystal sand you don't need poetic stuff
Is the Proof of mettle thing always 20,000,000 for 3?
i know that umbryte can be bough in areina
but what about crystal sand
Yeah its always 3
kk
For 20 mil
Grab 30 and you win right?
30....?
30 proofs of mettle to max out all 3 honors?
All honors max out at 10 each
are pageantry tomestones done for good? I don't even see them under "past tomestones"
And the number of proofs increase as you add it to your honors
Yes
Yes, done for good
Trash them
it costs 200 mil mettle to max out one stat
^
thank you
600mil total
some people have already done it
wait does it cost more than 1 proof to increase stat by 1 later?
I see, I thought it costs 30 proofs
