it moves way too fast to be of any use in real time, but it can be helpful to figure out wtf has happened

What do people farm in bozja that drops the boxes that sell for 2 mil gil?

STR
Anyone know the answer to my question 
boxes that sell for 2mil?
What's the main reason that people buy the retainers level boost? for less click on them?
the lootboxes?
Which box sells for 2 mil?
There are bozja boxes on mb that sell for like 2-3m on my server
or are you talking about things that drop from lootboxes
those come from CLL
oh
and/or are purchased with bozjan coins
How long does it take to go from resistance wep 485 ilvl to 535?
do they ever do sales on world transfers?
Not that long really... Only real slow step is the DR/potd step
first weapon, or later ones?
First
Is the upgraded resistance the version of the enchuffla the one that shines? I think thats how h spell the dancer wep name
Are those 2 long?
Not really
only took me about an evening for the first 3 steps with BLU
after that...
the REAL grind starts
60 hw fates (or bozja drops), followed by 6 level 60 dungeons (or bozja drops), followed by 3 CLL runs, 18 each hw/sb alliance raids, followed by 15 DR runs, followed by 180 normal raids (or bozja drops, followed by 15 (1x from 70 dungeon, 2x from DR, 3x from dalriada) drops
I would use BLU to farm fates and stuff but nobody wants to help me level it soooo
Im just using my main
that's to do one weapon
for later weapons you can do several of those steps in parallel and several don't need to be done again
does an empty line at the start of a macro stop it from working?
My skills don't switch with the switching of my job, any idea why ?
Each hotbar can be set to shared or not shared
Any bars that you want to change when you change jobs, keep them set to not shared
ok thank you
I would say if you've got other classes at 80, do pick up the quest "FOR WANT OF A MEMORY" again if you can once you finish it on dnc
if you change your mind and decide to do another.. you will be thankful it was active while you're in bozja
How does 1 start the first step of Resistance wep? NPC in Kugane?
I'm looking for a recruit a friend pal, maybe even a FC! The recruitment discord sent me here. I don't know where to go.
3 of them total? Yes
That and have 5.0 finished
Tryin to unlock Bozja
5.1 is needed
the quest you're looking for then is
Ty!
fate contribution is threat-based?
so if I join a fate boss late as a tank, I will have more chance to get gold compared to other classes
correct
throw up tank stance and spam ranged if you're really just trying to rapidly catch up on contribution
does provoke works on Fate boss that way?
I don't think so, but I can't confirm
Can anyone explain the veteran rewards for me please? I was looking to buy a 180 day subscription, rewards says I will get "You'll receive the following rewards: 150 day(s) , 240 day(s)". Does that mean on the milestone days i get a reward?
Yep.
And you don't even need to be subb that many days in a row, you'll just resume progress fro mwhere you eft off before your break.
can I get them up front if I pay all at once?
I think you get them immediately if you pay for the days in advance
but I cannot say that with certainty
i last played in 2013 lol
I'm still deciding whether to play with my old character or create a new one
Hi is there any way to know when a fete begins? I'm new to firmament!
if you go into firmament it'll tell you the next one's start time
Oh! Thank you!!
How do i do jobs for my grand company to get the chocobo mount?
Yo
ohh i haven't completed the quest yet my bad xD
Where can i get the add ons for a cheap price ๐
There's basically no add ons here
Yes
you just missed the big sale
you might get a discount in the steam sale
if you have the windows version you can buy it for cheaper from sites...
You won't get it anywhere cheaper
how are you so sure
No trusted seller is selling it cheaper than retail price
it is trusted
I know ๐
by me
Newegg? Greenman?
no
Amazon?
you can get complete editino for 20$
don't want to get banned because i haven't bought that particular product. but have bought other things
If it's not one of the ones I've listed then they're not a trusted third party seller
again i have bought like 8 games
From where
sorry i don't trust ppl infact 11 products i have bought from them
there are definitely sus vendors where you can get things for cheaper, and they'll mostly be fine, right up until they're not
Finished Heavensward MSQ, but still got post patch questlines to do. Should I activate my upgrade now or after I complete them since I'm capped at 60?
Things like g2a and the likes are key resellers, which are how they sell shit so cheap
post patch is trivial exp, I'd hold off
for an offline game? worst case probably your key gets deactivated easy come easy go
for something like ffxiv, if they decide your key is stolen etc
goodbye account and possibly hundreds of hours
What ilvl should my retainer be for the best ventures/items
!faq retainerbp
No? Looks normal
Thanks
Maybe they upped the gathering for a more round number to not be ass to type I guess
they didn't update it with new patches?
No
Does anybody know when the next same is? In the summer?
I personally doubt there will be another sale until endwalker
Maybe a steam sale to match the recent Se store one
Ok when is endwalker coming out?
But with the expansion coming I doubt there will be another regular sale
November
21s specifically. Early access on the 19th
๐
ye that got updated to 2400 from 2083
Or well, very close to being out
23rd, not 21
I am lvl 60 in Testversion what should i do toll next November ๐ if there is even coming a sale
Shh don't make me remember the pain waiting 
just missed the last sale
@plush kestrel check dm
but you'd need to beat shadowbringers to unlock most endwalker content

hey i need help with kupo bot, i saved my character on another disc account but forgot about it, discord account is deleted
and now i cant verify it
what can you do in this situation?
Are any servers/datamcenters better or worse for any reason?
!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
Are there more mount quests besides the unicorn one?
eep, i don't think there's much you can about that
i was hoping there is some way to contact creators of kupo bot
there are tank mount achievements and a mount for getting all the jobs to 80
ty
is savage eden's promise pugable?
yes
Through PF? in theory yes
this late in the tier? might be hard, but doable
in theory?
Okay here's my other question. How many players fucking up does it take for a party to wipe?
hey guys, is it "better" to level a dps or a tank class via main story class? I will level both, just wondering what would be the way to go regarding this Advice would be awesome ๐
ideally tank
for less queues
but I'm starting to find that even tanks can get screwed over when it comes to Q times
so tank first and dps as second job or the other way around?
a bit of an organizational clusterfuck
mechanics wise it's roughly ex
probably easier now with zadnor and honors
Dps is how you tank
depends, the better the dps, the more fuckup you can accept, else if dps is bad, not doing a single mistake might be the only way to not wipe, or do more dps.
How likely am I to complete it with pf?
when do I unlock mount? ^^
extremely low.
best bet is to find a eureka/bozja discord for your DC
e9s e10s is completable via pf 100%
And needs coordination between groups
I see
lv20 msq
Is running e4s easier?
okey ty ^^
Hi all, I had a quick question. My wife and I started playing just now, but she chose Marauder and I chose Lancer, do the different jobs start in different cities? Wanted to know if we have to wait a while to play together?
With current gear, by far yes
I think I'm gonna learn e4s then
Yes, Lv15 msq when you'll meet up
tbh, the game is mostly single player, with multiplayer dungeons
you have to do the story up to the level 15 quest that brings you to the different cities
but you'll see each other after lv15, yeah
also I hope you play a lot together
Should I just delete my character and re-make it as the same class as her and the switch jobs?
MSQ locks EVERYTHING
eh, level 15 isn't that far in
With good dps then you'll kill around/before Uplift 2
you'd still be playing solo for the most part
Do people still join e4s parties?
gotta get that TEA BiS
Only people doing ultimate tbh who need gear...maybe the occasional mount
Sorry I might not have been clear on the matter. I was wondering about leveling convenience. Is it more convenient to level a dps job while you still have the story missions and tank as a secon job via sidequest etc or is it the other way around?
you can level both with dailies and MSQ
honestly it doesn't matter much
yellow sidequests are awful xp
A couple that plays together, falls into a crippling ff14 addiction together
if you do msq on tanks, you'll have fast queues then and then have slow queues on your dps
if you do msq on dps you'll have slow queues then fast when you do the tank
Then becomes that tank/healer couple everyone hears about 
ahh okay, got you thanks guys ๐

We played wow together through most of our college years.....getting into FF14 in our mid 30s is not too bad ๐
Is there any spoiler free review on job quests stories quality? Is there any that is really bad? Or one that is really really good?
Yes there are weddings, you can freely teleport directly to your spouse. Have fun
Oooo that's awesome
Where there last holidays a sale?.
We both like to tank :/
dark knight quest is a MUST
And a 2 seater mount of the correct wedding package
Noted
otherwise they vary, if it doesn;t hold your attention don;t bother
There's 2 tanks in trials and raids. No problem, gonna have to fight over who tanks dungeons tho
.
random, SE does what it wants
We still got a while to get there ๐ just enjoying the journey right now
If you're trying to find out when the next sale is we don't know
Ive done 2 to 60 so far. BLM was fun, MNK was kinda boring, but the last fight was very good.
yep, and this journey is an exceelant one, hope you guys have fun!
Ok ๐
We're not affiliated with squenix or steam, we're just a bunch of ass holes who occasionally choose to be of mild assistance
TY! So far so good
I liked MCH and SCH ones too
can someone gimme TLDR what i need to buy to play this game? Like base game, expansion, subscription, how it works?:D coming from WOW so sorry
As I said earlier, I would doubt there be a other sale
but i like everything MCH 
!faq freetrial
Base game + one dlc purchase (both in complete edition)
Free trial first
Complete edition when ready to upgrade to get everything
do that for now
For DoH I usually just skip everything... Am I doing bad?
Should I play Tank Dps or heal first character? whats more fun for new players and what is the diffrence between the roles. Im caster rn bcs it seems fun but idk
Free trial is the base game minus a few features mostly social and pvp so get the most out of that before actually spending any real money
ALC 60-70 is really cool if you like the overall lore from this game
CUL 60 had a cool scene
Doesn't matter you can play all jobs on any character and swap freely
otherwise? sure go ahead and skip
Ok, will pay mote attention on 50+ quests then
play what's fun, that's the way to play
what can I be max with all jobs on 1 character???
Yeah
How expensive dlc is usually and how often they come out?
all 31
Hell I am lol
holy shit okay well thats cool
Every 2 years and about 40 bucks it's basically a full jrpg worth of content
There's only ever one dlc purchase available that includes all currently released expansions
sometimes i swap between classes for different fights and it means I can help new players level easily since I'm also leveling
!faq meta
what's an easy way to solo the anima complete charging phase
can't find a group to cheese a9s
Brayflox hard if solo
I like that system its super cool
That's it I'm afraid, throw up a pf and be patient or just run normal Alex which will be much slower
Brayflox hard is the solo route
So when is new xpac coming out?
November
NOV 19th for EA
November 23rd
oh yeah, is heal and tank harder than dps?
Not really
Outside of high end content but everyone has to be decent for that so it evens out
You dps 95% of the time
at first it make take a bit to understand but once you do it's easy to remember
okay thanks
warrior ungabunga
Soo i should be able to do a big part of this xpac content until Next comes out?
you can do everything
content doesnt go away
You can easily get completely up to date
people are doing raids from 2013
wow thats sound amazing tbh
Unlike wow there's not multiple ways to play a specific job, but instead all the jobs play differently and are all balanced
You can basically do all current content before November
Range 1
front
And range 2
ty
People call their positions by calling their role
everything is balanced, content is forever, play what you like when you like it
oh and gearing is super easy
Monster hunter stuff is still around and that's what, 3 years old at this point?
Cause positionals
boss is facing north
tho am most scared that combat system will be rather slow for some time atleast coming from wow haha, but i played it like 6 months ago so idk haha. i guess it will be fine
They want to be behind titan
Makes sense
Remember you are starting from level 1 so what the blue dragon says
yeah, the earlygame is slow, the devs want you to do story and invest in the world first like a normal FF game
wow is just meh rn, and i want something completely new:> and this game seems pog
Excuse me I'm the derp moo 
We see a lot of that dw
shadowbringers was the most pog game i;ve played
i didn;t play MMO's before FFXIV
now i raid lmao
oh wait I get it, this macro is in 2 part for this mechanic
Everyone is around titan then
during markers
You misspelled get stepped on by giant multi titted alolan exeggutor
not quite there yet
what's this?
doing E8S first
Sightseeing log point
aha
just to be sure, endwalker is the newest xpac currently right?
After arr they're actually visible
Well yes but actually no
no, shadowbringers is the current expac
It will be, but it's not out yet
EW won't matter til you beat ShB anyways
Endwalker comes out in November
Also this is a linear final fantasy game first mmo second
So you'll have to play through all the previous story content to get to endwalker
i did most of the game solo when i started
Think of it as 4 jrpgs duct taped together wrapped up in an mmo
i have plenty time to spend, and i have no games to play haha:D so its finee
Featuring the nier sequel /s
Or a game and it's multiple sequels all on one platform that happens to be an mmo
And your progress carries over between games
i always felt that wow's early game is boring (atleast in new xpacs), so that earlygame will be meaningful in some kind of way or atleast interesting sounds alot of fun for me:)
and that i can play at my own pace and no need to rush i guess
The base game arr, is a bit slow as its largely world building but the first expansion is amazing and hey all of that is included in the free trial
dumb question incoming. i've just started trying out mining, the problem is, i can't find where to mine. i'm outside of the city, i've activated prospect and i'm looking at the map constantly but i can't find any mining spot. what am i doing wrong?
You're probably not near any mining points
i've walked for 20 min
Your level 1 quest probably mentions a specific area look around there for gathering points
xd
eh i will buy expansion immediately haha, this game seems amazing
Also use your gathering log
mining points are at specific locations
hi sorry for the dumb question but I just got to Ishgard in FFXIV and my mount doesnt fly anymore. How do i unlock aether currents for ishgard maps
Click it to so where the nodes general area is
And prospect is a toggle so you might have turned it off
!faq flight
is there zone with some decent fates to grind at 54 while waiting for my daily queues? leveling u a second job
!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.
Use the aether compass you're given and do blue quests in the zone
Also
!faq flying
'How can I unlock Flying?'
Flying is unlocked through the collecting of a zone's Aether Currents, with every zone having ten 'green' Aether Currents found in the overworld and five 'yellow' Aether Currents obtained through the MSQ and side quests marked with a plus sign. Azys Lla is the only zone to not have any green Aether Currents. You must collect all Aether Currents in a zone to be able to fly.
Flying is unlocked in A Realm Reborn zones simply by completing the level 50 story quest 'The Ultimate Weapon'.
'Where can I find the green Aether Currents?'
Upon obtaining the Story Quest 'Divine Intervention' you get the Aether Compass, which is a key item you can use to locate the nearest non-quest Aether Current. This can be set to your Hotbar for ease of use. Alternatively, you can use this website to show the location of all Aether Currents for a zone. http://heavenswhere.com/
It's this
ohhh I see fhank you
Gfdi
my last question would be until i gtg eat, are there like meta-classes in this game haha or smth like that idk
Nope
found it, ty!
!faq meta
!faq addalias flying flight
OK so AGAIN, the login with the One-time password is not letting me in - i know my password and it works PERFECTLY on mogstation.....
Devs actually know how to balance jobs in this game
does anyone else have this issue or is it literally just me
Gdi I guess I need to be a mod
thats awesome thanks alot:>
so just do blue quests there and flying will be unlocked eventually?
It also has to be a single word
is there zone with some decent fates to grind at 54 while waiting for my daily queues? leveling u a second job
And find the currents in the field
Your aether compass will point you too then when you use it
Wait never mind Iโm dumb
oh ive never used an aether compass until now LOL
They're generally close to the story pass
thank you
!faq addalias flying flight
You're given it in your key items
All one words there dude
ill check thank you so much
Beg channy 
I forgot how it worked Kat, donโt shame me like this
Depends how patient I am
So how good combat is it in this game , is it fun haha
When you have your skills yes
early game is incredibly slow, endgame gets pretty fun
Fights are more visually appealing
And more room for mechanics... Fights are mechanical dances with it all being scripted
is there no bozja/zadnor channel?
I can create characters on different worlds right without migrating? or do i have to migrate entire account?
Even the cheapest subscription can create eight characters and all can be on different data centers if you choose.
okay nice, i might do that then. Thanks
Mind. Mind stat is the most important for healers.
Pick any
ilvl
It doesn't matter
oh ok
Materia is basically worthless while levelling
For substats, generally critical hit is the next most important. But at that level, yeah, substats can be ignored for the most part. Youโll be cycling through gear so quickly that jamming in materia doesnโt really help.
How do I open all of those at once?
f
Ain't bad until you have to open 500 bojzan boxes
Preorder gives you the preorder bonuses and let's you play during early access on November 19th
Waiting to buy gives you none of these
so preorder is more ex
Preorder can be bought anytime up until then though right?
Until the launch yes
what should I go for once I have i130 gear?
Story/dungeon gear post lv55
why is it in EU
You're on the eu site
Hi, kinda new to gathering but im trying to farm yellow scrips for the folklore books. I saw a guide to use garland tools bell but when I select yellow scrip in the app nothing shows up in timers..
and the store bring me to EU?
ok ty
at the maerket, wanna buy 1 orange just , but its 99 in stack can I split it somehow?
orange juice*
If you're talking about market board then you buy the whole listing
Don't buy from market board, stupidly overpriced
The vendor literally in the same area as the quest guy sells ot
He even asks you to go to that merchant
oh okey got it ty ^^
Am I blind, or is there no collectible appraiser in Ishgard?
Or the firmament
I thought the free trial of this game had unlimited time until you reach level 60. I didn't know it was a 30 day trial lol
Well you used a code which gave it to you
I mean I just registered for the free trial
the trial is not 30 days, if it's telling you that then certainly something is up
Thats just what I read on the website
Ohhhh thats the complete edition I think, idk
sounds right to me
ya ya
ok
Sorry I just woke up lol
anyone know where this is?
not to be rude but the free trial doesn't/shouldn't exactly have a price tag on it 
unlike the edition in that image
Huh..
Oh
go here instead
will you have to be at a certain part of the game to access the Ishgard housing when it is implemented?
yep
Well bold to assume you're gonna a need ishgard access at least
As in?
you might also need to be done with dragonsong war, who knows
at minimum it'd be in Ishgard. Maybe gated behind Restoration Questline? Doubt they'd keep housing that restricted to access immediately though
ALready really confusing for new players who come into a fully built firmament anyway
what is the full coat crismas outfit called ?
Starlight Attire on Mogstation
Starlight Robe for that one
event only to my knowledge, no way to buy it or obtain atm
Thanks ๐
my dreams..
maybe one day
||sad||
well thanks : )
It will go on mogstation if it's not already
uh, that's really personal preference if anything but i like having bit more gamma on my game if that matters to you
Seasonal Stuff goes on mogstation after a year of its event
@outer mural aha
is all master books for crafting yellow scrips?
yes to my knowledge
ok cool
Hi, im new in ffxiv and I want to know the cheapest way to obtain all expasions, incluying the endwalker
And, if I buy the online complete edition and after the endwaler is = to 99.98 usd
but if a buy the starter edition (include realm reborn and heavensward) and then the endwalker (includes stormblood and shadowbringers) is = to 59.98
for me its no necessary play right now stormblood and shadowbringers
you won't get access to shb and sb until ew releases, if you do that
it's too bad the sale just ended not long ago
couse im new so
aprox how much time of play (quest and story) is in realm reborn and heavensward?
I hearad after in this expansion that comming will be the * end * fo the storty ? what does that mnea? what i understand its very story heavy game , so if the story ending, what will they do then? end the game 100% close servers or?
i mean why not just keep on the free trial>
nope, just the end of the current arc
means a WHOLE bunch of new stuff it coming
we got 10+ years
not a stroy person , all about gameplay, so sounds good, so far only lvl 28 gameplay seems fun, hope raids are fun like in wow ๐
time of play is a ton especially if you want to mess with multiple jobs
do we EVER have banger raids
even better when you do the story with them
nha story not for me skip cutscnees and all that, gameplay is my thing that decide If I like the game or not x)
free trial includes realm reborn and heavensward?
with limitation obviously
up to level 60, and no time limit
!faq freetrial
But yes, you can play all of ARR and HW
any content of those 2 expansions is available to you
do i get the aether compass in the MSQ? i just got to ishgard and i dont have it yet
yep
thanks!
so its better play all free trial and when i finish it buy the others expasions
You get given to you after visiting the first two zones for the first time
pretty much, since the first expac is when most players get really invested
ok, hope the content of free trial is long enough to wait 6 months when endwalker will be released
hahaha
is it possible to equip the same ring twice?
where can you use these kupo seeds u get from the ffxiv companion app
you need 2 rings
I know but can they be identical?

Sometimes
@grizzled bloom I wouldn't worry about the new expac, it will take you a long time to clear through all the MSQ stuff before that
it's a decent amount, but you need to beat shadowbringers to unlock endwalker content
below 80 yes
If it has a big UNIQUE at the top you can only have 1 copy in your inventory
ah dang alright
I was lookin at a drk bis and they are using an exarchic ring because the cryptlurker 530 one is rly bad
yep, but I wouldn't pay almost 100 dollars, but 60. Buying the starter and the endwalker
so I thought why not just wear double edenmorn
The tome ring is garbage
bying the starter and the endwalker
Edenmorn is unique
starter doesn't give shadowbringers
unless i read wrong?
And Endwalker won't give shadowbringers until Endwalker actually releases in november
There is no situation where you can have Endwalker without shadowbringers
He'll want starter edition and Endwalker
yes, I will start playing Stormblood and Shadowbringers when endwalker is released.
You won't have stormblood either
That's included with shadowbringers
how do I use the glamour dispeller
cast glamour>remove
arr<hw<shadowbringers<stormblood<ew right?
It comes with both
or does stormblood come after hw
I know, he said hell start shadowbringers when Endwalker comes out but he won't have stormblood to do that in the first place
Stormblood after hw
Oh your message confused me
not very intuitive but thanks
When casting glamour on an item you just click remove
That's it
same as HW, about 40 ish hours
yeah I got it, it should return both items right?
No
there's no gear consumed in the glamour process 
one minor inconvenience
this game sucks
lol?
both glamour dispeller and glamour prisms are really inexpensive
I don't see it
You don't lose gear when casting glamour
Unless you discard it yourself
Gear isn't consumed when casting glamour
So if its no longer around you ditched it yourself already
oh so
You should be using the glamour dresser anyway. Its more effective than using them individually
when you remove it from your inventory while glamoured, the glam stays in tact?
Think of it as a single use spell, the prism makes one thing look like another thing
clarify?
I must have accidentally gotten rid of it then
You make a yellow book look like a green book, until it's changed again or dispelled
oh well, tnx for the info
hmm, do i buy shadowbringers before endslayer? Guess I should see how much i play through first
be a sucker and buy both
endwalker for instant content, endwalker for pre order bonus
ye i will just see, if i get through the content quickly i will just buy shadowbringers so i can play endslayer on release
endwalker 
is there anything to buy at endgame with centurio seals?
no
strictly 60/70 items
besides aetheryte tickets
there's a few emotes you can buy
with logs you buy with them
and some housing stuff if I recall
Centurio seals are best for job gear and glam
Because that's the only way to get lv60 job gear that you might have trashed
When does the little sprout thing go away lmao
7 days of playtime
7 days playtime + start shb
@modest igloo and all, thanks for the help!
np, glad I could help!
last question, what's MSQ? ๐ฆ
!faq newplayertips
this explains that and way more
but MSQ is the first priority since it locks almost all content
Main Scenario quest
ok! thanks again 
Sorry in advance for the long post and cross posting!
I'm a former player that left for a really long time, but recent news has gotten me interested in returning. I never got far (just started HW I think), but I remember I was always playing alone so it got really lonely and hard to continue. I didn't know how to make friends since the only time I saw people was through random people during instances and they'd leave right after. On top of that, the one friend who invited me to play was way ahead of me so she never quested with me, then she secretly switched servers and left me behind, which made me feel awful.
I also had trouble getting into the game bc I'd always feel so overwhelmed trying to keep up with mechanics. I'd be so focused on trying to press my skills in the right order I'd miss the boss moves on my screen, or just be too slow to react. I knew this game was heavy on cooperation, so I always felt super guilty for not knowing what I was doing, and I guess I gave myself too much pressure to be able to enjoy the game properly. Like I'd look up guides to every instance before I entered, but I'd never be able to memorize everything, then panicked when I went in like it was some exam. Even by the time I left I still didn't feel confident playing and often felt confused.
That being said, is now a good time to come back? Any advice on how to get better/get back into things without making a new account to start over? I'd say I'm kind of a pseudo-newbie, so I'd really appreciate any kind of help or support.
Also I might consider transferring servers, any idea which ones are populated and friendly?
(Looks like I just missed a big sale too, which is unfortunate. Wish I came back just a bit sooner now!)
basically applies to everything mechanic wise
you can slap a dummy for a few hours to learn your rotation but
new mechanics will always be introduced
Also I played a BLM which ppl say is the easiest dps or something so learning I sucked at the easiest one was ouch
and in later expansions a lot of tells aren't as obvious or have an indicator, or the indicator appears later
the rotation is easy, but optimizing it is hard
Skill ceiling on BLM is sky high.
Yeah, BLM is definitely not so easy
you have very few instant casts so being the best BLM requires planning out your instant cast cooldowns
what's the use of clan mark log that cost 500 centurio?
but i do love my black mage ๐
what's the difference between lay of the land 1 and 2?
Easiest rotation on a dummy
Yeah, BLM is sometimes considered THE job with highest skill ceiling
can buy a mount with it
nearest vs highest level
Farewell 150k despairs
1 goes for nearest, 2 goes for highest level
how many do I need?
but isn't lay of the land 1 useless then?
no

sometimes you just want the closest node
6
especailly in expansion zones which can have multiple levels of nodes
where is the vendor that sells the mount?
for example, Stormblood zones have level 80 nodes even though the level cap is 70
As the relic quest materials are there
Bertana in Idyllshire
If you're looking for material A in the Lochs and its in this specific area, not the highest level thing in the zone and you just wanna know where it is, suddenly 1 isn't useless.
ty
it'll be under "Uncanny Knickknacks"
Do I need to level up 30 my alt for the ffxv collab event?
50
what fastest way to level up miner?
diadem, probably
leves would be faster
Leves or diadem
diadem lets you be lazy
And two birds in 1 stone
if you're not on free trial you can also make decent ish money from diadem
Diadem is slower and tedious but zero effort, endless and reliable
so leves better to level up but its slow on money and diadem is opposite of that?
well not necessarily slow on money, as you do get gil from completing leves
but the thing with leves is that you're limited by your allowances, and getting the higher scores on them can get harder as you'll need to keep somewhat geared
so its potentially more expensive since you want to have decent gear, whereas diadem doesn't really have as high of gathering requirements
so you can go longer without upgrading
diadem lets you potentially get more gil since you can sell the materials gathered from it on the marketboard, whereas leves is just strictly gil given from the leve itself, you can't sell the leve items

are the starting squadron recruits random?
because I have had Cecily for as long as i can remember and i have NEVER done pvp
She's one of the default squadron members
ah gotcha
i wish we could have 10 squadron recruits 
that way i could have all 5 female Au Ra and all 5 female Miqo'tes
Stupid question, but how does one make your character just look at the camera in gpose w/o turning their head? is it just fucking around and luck?
I believe it's the look at camera button?
i don't think there's a way to only have the eyes move, but then i don't use gpose that much
There is
I've seen people do it before I just don't know if its a mod or not
There's a setting in gpose to have your character's eyes follow the camera but not their head
What's the best/fastest way to level up from 15/30 to 70 using the server exp bonus (Road to 70)?
Itโs in the box with the emotes at the top of the window.
!faq altlvlguide
It's the right box in the emotes window https://i.imgur.com/SfBCjSJ.png
Thank you, I'll read that ๐
No
You also need to finish the corresponding role quest to access them
And the area where you access them is the final area in shadowbringers
is there a good reason to do the extreme trials other than for the sake of doing them?
i hate how they clutter my questlog
Unless you want the weapons for glams
Almost all extreme trials drop mounts
but only 1 person can get the mount per run?
There's also materials for trophies
Not even, it's rng
kk
If it drops
cuz im using dutyfinder as well
DO NOT use duty finder for extremes
ya i know, but its been okay so far
If i purchase shadowbringers will it include stormblood or do i have to get both seperately?
It's included
Yes it does
so this is my first time running out of gil after ARR, since I'm still newbie, what are the methods of making gils back again?
I'm under 10k so I kinda need to know a bit lol
Oh nice, thanks
doing msq
you can trade in dungeon gear for seals and sell glamour prisms or hardened sap
also gathering maps
where are you atm? hw?
glamour prisms sell for like 20k per 99 which is fine
hardened sap for more but less consistent to sell
Hello, I am new to the game. About level 68 summoner and was wondering, what jobs should I focus on as a summoner? As you say in WoW professions.
there are no specific crafting/gathering jobs taht correlate with summoner
crafting is optional and the only worthwhile armor to craft is at 80
you shouldn't really worry about that at the moment as the MSQ / dungeons / poetics will give you the necessary gear
So I would like to do armor I would do it in leatherworking?
new to the game
about 68 Summoner
Something doesn't add up here
it's never restricted to one class
leatherworker can make, like, boots or something for casters
I have played for like two weeks, I would say "new"
but then you would need goldsmith for a circlet of casting right
Are uroliths rare in the diadem? Trying to find one for mythrite sand
And armor crafting is a mix of the different crafter jobs
68 is kinda new still, not end game yet lol
it's never 'oh this one job for crafting is for x class'
I'm level 55 and still struggle with a lot of stuff to know
it's many crafting jobs at once for every class
Different pieces for different jobs require different crafters
and again, i would suggest not really worrying about it until you get to 80 / endgame
Caster armor is usually a mix of goldsmith, Leatherworker, Weaver, and the occasional armorer
Alchemist makes SUM books iirc
With their weapon being alchemist
mhm
Ok Jim, but if I would like to do that sort of jobs, which one should I do first and "focus"?
if you want to craft for the sake of crafting, fine, but if ur goal is to make armor for summoner, i would not bother
All of them
if you want to level up your gathers and crafters, it is always recommended to do them all at once
All at once, as they share materials pretty often
All of the crafters require crafted items and materials from the other crafters
Only exception is culinarian since they only make food
As botanist, mining and fishing?
this will
- share materials and let you craft stuff between different crafters to save yourself money
- you share all the same gear so you r inventory is not clogged to shit
If you don't care about the very much recommended efficiency of leveling them all at once then the answer becomes: Any you like
So if you're going to do crafting you should pick up all of them
is this EU Chaos server only? i've marked the Chaos reaction
it's either or
both gatherers and crafters yes
No.
nah, this server is for all regions
Ok, thanks mate
you could get away with levelling all the gatherers together beforehand, mainly botanist and miner
fishing is usually independent and mainly used for cooking
The Chaos reaction is a giant meme from the new FF game trailer
but can be avoided since there plenty of non-seafood recipes
but it's always best to just do it all at once steadily
Can i get from this discord to the main eu DISCORD?
Thatโs strange, I havenโt seen one yet
This is the main EU discord
There should be other enemies you can blast for the sand.
We are community as one.
Weโre all one big crazy family here
I doubt weโre the main JP discord for JP speakers
we're the main discord for the EN JP players
kinda
not really
it's just probably the biggest "general" ffxiv discord
If I remove a person from my friendsโ list, do I get automatically removed from theirs as well?
no

it's client sided so the only way to get off is to DC transfer and wait for them to delete you as well
is it stupid? yes. can they do better? one day, maybe.
Are you able to join FC's on other worlds than your home world in your same DC?
no
Dang
What if you blacklist someone who is on your friends list? Would that help any extra? @leaden ginkgo
Or do you just want to deformed
Defriend
Not sure what's happening but I've been getting a lot of commendations as DRG for the last couple of days
Any reason why?
veterans pity comming a sprout ๐คทโโ๏ธ
A premade comming the one random in the group
some people also just com dps instead of tanks/healers
Out of spite?
cos they know most people don't com them, or they just notice you're doing good ๐คทโโ๏ธ
Lol
no way for us it say for certain why people are comming you
Well I didn't die, was dancing in the MSQ daily
Honestly been acting kinda daft
So gd dmg don't die that's about it
Still prefer tanking though
Is there a place like WoWHead for FF14?
any known problems when playing ff14 ps5 version? like game crashes etc?
Endgame guides right?
There shouldn't be any currently as of the current patch
while doing a W2W pull, how do i manage threat on enemies that get aggroed by party members
They come to you, 99% of the time
If they keep running away that's their fault
Otherwise just mash aoe
well its an issue when they're behind me
just mash aoe
You have to actually hit them to properly take aggro in the first place
i know, but they pull aggro eventually
Just having them aggro by being the first target in range isn't enough
Gear tables, guides, calculators etc
im saying i lose aggro while running
Then hit them to keep it
use ranged attack
!faq balance
Don't use sprint while w2w pulling
Gear isn't complex, your rotation determines your DPS 99% of the time
of course, having better gear increases your DPS
But there's no set bonus or anything like that mostly
why not? shouldnt the entire party be sprinting with the tank?
So no one grinds for specific items?
unless it's a relic weapon, no
Cuz you'll outrun the mobs and they'll lag behind instead of being hit by your aoes
or glamour
hmm
Oh well that simplifies things a lot
There's no grinding for gear, just grinding for item level
Interesting
And if you start combat before everyone pops sprint they only get 10s of it
!skill sprint
Gdi
!action sprint
welp
tl;Dr due to how job kits are designed, "set bonus" effects in other games are already integrated into a core part of your kit, so they can't really do unique effects besides "faster GCD speed"
Thanks for the lesson I'm still trying to translate my experience in WoW to this game. Loving it but need to learn more
๐
So I queued for a dungeon nobody queues for.. After 300 minutes it popped and someone withdrawed from the queue. After that the whole party was gone
what happened there?
shouldn't there be still 7 people that didn't withdraw?
premade who collectively decided they didn't want to do that dungeon and ate the penalty
Was it an Extreme fight?
yea
yep that would do it
why queue for it?
because it's in mentor roulette
Probably mentor roulette or sprouts
but it has mechanics that would require a lot of explanation in some cases
like clock positions into stack into run around the arena to avoid a certain AoE
It's... Kinda ass to do without a premade in PF
Not impossible but
Requires a lot of patience
Tank swap, donโt grab X amount of orbs etc
Yeah, itโs not recommended to try to complete it in queue
Make sure enemy 1 and 2 are far enough apart
All ARR EXs can be done solo now right?
with a level 80 job yes
kk
ARR and HW EX trials can be done solo by a 80 job
it seems weird that a premade withdrew because the party was almost full before the withdraw
HW EX with greater difficulty and some nuance but yes
and then party went poof
sophia EX my nemesis
Some of the HW trials though you need to be PLD or WAR because their self-sustain is beyond bullshit
It's not a premade
It was mentors
Since mentor roulette is solo only for backfill reasons
It's just again
Extremes are ass with a duty finder group
hi i'm very confused i've done the "Into the Dragon's Maw" quest and I can't seem to find my next class quest, i'm a lvl 55 dragoon
I'm only missing sohpia and zurvan with pugs then I can move on to stormblood ex
just use party finder
SB is also in 2's
SB is weird yes
iirc
It's unlikely you will get another queue anytime soon for extremes
really? remember it something like taht but i'll check
SB goes 63 65 68 70
oh no shit my memory has wiped all traces of that
that is very strange
i stand corrected 
With 70 being the only one that unlocks a skill
hello! so i am in patch 5,3 and i need to get better gear (ilvl 460) and i aws wondering the easiest way to get gear so i can rogrss through the msq
marketboard
Or tomes if you don't want to spend gil
Exarchic gear on MB
Unless you mean the cheapest, in which case you can grind out normal raids
how can I see my next job quest?
crystarium gear would be fine for it from eulmore
it will be below the msq guide
It's under your MSQ tracker if it's available
ok so if it's nothing it means i'm good?
yes
