what is class hunting log
no, same system but not the company hunting log
default hotkey for the hunt log is "H"
press that and you'll see a list of stuff you need to kill
like so ^
i see where u were coming from tho
so the window that pops up and lists the MOBS in zone when you first zone in
zones will change once you complete more of the log
with yellow twirl icon
Cant i just do the main story with my rogue? even tho Main story is at lvl 30 and i am lvl 4 does it scale somehow?
but you won't really need to do more than rank 1 or maybe 2
It does not scale
Saaaaadddd
once you hit lvl 30 again you can do msq with your rogue
you just need to level it up but otherwise no
(or rather Ninja at that point)
but again, leveling to 30 does not take long at all
just do the hunting log for about an hour, spam some dungeons and boom, done
So the hunting log is just some mobs that i have to find and kill right?
Alright
and the mobs you do need to kill have a yellow swirly icon above their head in the overworld
Hi guys, i've actually a problem with a quest, am trying to unlock the Nutsy quest but it show's that i've to unlock "Travelers of Norvrandt" ( that i've already done) and " Elite and Dangerous" as i tried to look from the first mission up to find the elite quest to see if i had done it, but i didn't find any of the quests (so i think i did this too) but the nutsy quest doesnt show up idk what to do
did you unlock hunts from your gc
gotta unlock the hunts in order
GC -> Centurio -> Nutsy
Are you still stuck in youe starting world for 90 days even if it's not a preferred world?
yes
OOF
Fuck ok
I need to just start asking here. A buddy of mine said no (he's an FF vet) and I told a new player to not join a preferred world so they've been missing out on that EXP
They're only like level 14 anyways but oof
Ok
yes i've unlocked the gc
did you unlock the HW and SB hunts
Poor dude leveling. Slow asf and still forced into same world for 90 š¤£
what does the tomestone reset timer mean? do unspent tomestones get deleted when it expires?
You can earn a maximum of 450 a week
idk, since am a returned player, and i didn't had chance to do GC stuff i've focussed only on finishing Shadowbringers story and blue quest , can you explain me what to do or how to unlock the other hunt's?
Question - Iāve been reading that now with Bahamut, thereās no reason to keep up DT anymore. So do I just click DT, fire a Deathflare, and then summon Bahamut immediately?
Is the 24 man raid loot locked weekly?
Thanks
i don't know much summoner but dreadwyrm still has use for weaving due to its instant cast times so it's not completely dead
did hypercharge have a different icon or does its icon change at a later level?
found it, how do i suppose to level up my rank? do i've to do hunting log?
by leveling
there is no rank
you unlock hunts by doing the last quest and by meeting the level
hypercharge does not change no
are you conflating it with the icon changing when you use it
That's automaton
it say's i need to reach the second flame's Lieutenant but am still third class xd
Am i the only one who canāt stand bozjan?
Certainly not.
then you havent unlocked hunts at all
Not really relevant to this channel
and yes you need to be 2nd lieutenant in your gc to unlock them
@devout lichen make sure you are not watching out of date videos
I enjoy it, personally, except for DR's length tuning along with how much it needs be done for relics.
so how do i suppose to rank up in GC ?
i've never seen this icon in my life. i've mained machinist since i started playing in november
the officer second from the right of the company desk will let you rank up
it's an option in the menu when you talk to them
can you link the video

well
that video is certainly not accurate with its icons to names at the very least
its desperius which I think I heard is not very credible

Is there any way to disable legacy movementās auto adjusting camera on controller?
I like the movement better than standard but the auto adjustment gives me motion sickness.
Desperius is infamous for mistakes and misinformation in his videos.
it isn't exactly 100% proof that he's bad at informing people bc he made an editting mistake or whatever but he is generally unreliable for other reasons
that being said i found the video
No he is not.
Ah OK then 
fixt
thought you were gonna beat me up 
but yeah i would check out WeskAlber's video instead for a skill overview on Machinist
lyon will throw hands
good to know, thanks
Where did he even find those images I wonder
Desperius got banned from the Balance for refusing to take criticism and people offering to help fix errors and misinformation in his guides. He refused all help and became combative towards others.
oh i thought he was just bad at making videos
didn't realize he was like that too 
weird great value brand images of the skills
hes actually banned from the balance??
though i guess this is not the place to overly discuss it but whew
He is.


while we're here, would like an actual question answered: i've heard bad about mrhappy but it seems like he said she said stuff
what's the sentiment here for people more knowledgeable about him?
whenever theres new content he tends to rush to put out a guide for it even if the methods he uses are suboptimal
just to be the first to put out a guide

Hello, when trying to change color of your chocobo companion
if use the color reset, do you have to wait the duration to finish the color change to try new attempt at getting your desired color? Or can you start right away after resetting the stats?
when you feed your chocobo it will change colors in 6 hours
every time you feed it food to change its color, the timer resets
yeah but if you reset the color to default, do i need to wait those 6 hours to do a new color change atempt
like getting the right color stats
i believe so
if you didnt get the color you wanted on the first try you dont need to reset it
i actually do not know what the fruit does, i believe it equalizes all the stats to become default yellow
that being said how it interacts with other fruit is a mystery to me
just input your color on the calculator and input your desired color and it makes a list
well the stats are the color rgb palet as far as i can tell
have yo ubeen using the calculator
does the squadron battle manual and heat of battle exp buff stack?
nay
oof
what do you mean calculator? i used the req items for specific colors, didnt check in what order i need to feed and got ink blue color than black one that i wanted to go for
Mr. Happy is a fine and normal average content creator, just gets a lot of hate.
you should check in what order using this website
big note: if you feed a chocobo a fruit, and it doesn't say 'it will change color in 6 hours' then feed it again
Now where do i go if my Hunt log is completed and the next rank is 2 level above my level
if the message doesn't come up it means the fruit didn't go through for changing the rgb value
I only have lvl 1 sidequests
and yes rivelia
pick ur current color and then the color u want
You will see a message that your chocobo is beginning to grow new feathers each time the colour changes as you feed, this confirms that your chocobo will be a different colour in 6 hours. If you don't see this message, you should feed an additional 1-2 of the recommended fruit until you do.
what level are u now
8
pure black one was "soot black"?
next hunt log is lvl 10
i must leave him in stables until it changes color?
correct
if u try to take him out the game says it will ruin the color change if u do
i see
thanks for info. much appreciated. that calculator does make life much easier xd
idk how you were trying to figure it out without the calculator but man i appreciate your ingenuity
Hello
Question regarding crafting gear.
What should I get at lvl50?
I havent started HW yet, and dont plan to before completing beast tribe quests. (still 2 weeks away)
!weekly
for end game content, should the healers just focus on healing? or should they dps as well?
vendor gear was fine for me
it may be at 52 but that small stretch from 50 to 52 should still be manageable
DPS as well
all classes must DPS
healers are included
if you are not healing, you are DPS-ing
that's the way i like to think of it
what's the minimum lv required to do the ARR battle job beast tribe quests?
is it even worth unlocking/doing all the guildhests once?
not asking in terms of fun or enjoyment š
pragmatically no it's fucking dogshit lmao
guildhests are for new players to learn the game in an instanced environment but any other area is far better for actually getting rewards and stuff
41 iirc?
which is when the quest to accept them props up
alright ty š gonna stick to leveling roulette
oh
ok thanks
you'll get a little bit of xp as well :V
yes it,s good i just didnt know what this is š š
I'm getting a "cannot find character" error when I try to send a particular person a friend request. Does that mean they're offline, or not in my area, or what?
Ok so I just hit lvl 80. So what now after I reach too that lvl?
grats
Do I just grind something?
you hit 80 right ?
Correct
!faq contentunlock
last link is probably the most interesting to you
either way, I assume you have finished the msq too?
Not yet going too work on it after that
you can't unlock the majority of endgame content without completing the msq first
so I would suggest doing that first
True
can mean they are offline
Alright Ill keep that my mind thanks
hey, i have a question, where should i buy this game? what are the pros and cons of retail and steam?
Besides sales not always being the same, the main difference is that you can pay for subscription with the steam wallet if desired.
Also if you get your steam account banned you canāt play unless you buy on console.
Personal preference really. Non-Steam version has sales more often but thatās not really that relevant since you only buy the game once.
oh, alright. what about the payment options for gametime. can i buy monthly using ideal when i buy the non steam version for example?
Only differences between steam and non-steam for payment options is the presence of the steam wallet
oh, alright haha, thanks for the answers
Chests, IMO. they can get you good selling items
Guys maybe you can help me - I've played FF XIV about 2 years ago, with the starter pack. Now a friend wants to play with me and I need to: 1. find out on which world my character is located 2. select a subscription. Selecting a subscription for a returning player is not really intuitive, but maybe you have a suggestion?
Log onto the mogstation and you can see where all your characters are at the bottom of the āyour accountā section.
Wait isnt the subscription on sale?
Sub never goes on sale.
Ah
As for whether to choose Entry or Standard, depends on if you want to play with multiple characters on the same world.
Why I noticed it that there was a cross w/ the discount
There are no chars displayed, only "add new service account":
does ast have an equivalent spell to holy?
Hey, how do you guys manage your glam when you use the same equipment with two Jobs (lets say MCH and BRD) ?
Looks like youāre logging into the wrong account then, because that looks like a brand new account.
is there a way to have chat notify when friends log on like it does for fcs
Nope
or did you cancel your service account instead too cancel your sub?
Use the glamour dresser to set up two different plates
@vague escarp wait which platform?
I just found out that you can link your glamour plates to your Jobs but it annoys me that you have to be in a city for it to take effect :/
Thanks!! This was it, I was logged in with some secondary account
FFXIV is unnecessary complicated. Let us use glamour plates even outside of cities.
Hey so im doing stormblood quests and I died, dont really know how to find myself inside Gyr abania again
Thatās the price of the plates.
So do people usually wear the same equipment for two or 3 different Jobs?
Most people, yeah
Go to East shroud by the border of Baelsarās wall and talk to an NPC there
If it has the specific class like for all healing then you should be fine
Make sure to attune to the aetheryte when you get back
Also we need more Glam Plates. All 15 are in use and I dont even have Crafters leveled x)
Data storage and data transfer limitations are the reason for the glamour plate restrictions
Like its kind of interesting that the armor for the respected classes which is nice too be honest
The devs have expressed a desire to further improve the situation in future
We already got given more glam plates than we started off with, and doubled the number of dresser storage slots from 200 to 400
As someone that wants every Job / Crafter to look good, they should definitely improve the system in the future.
So you can hope for more plates or using them outside of cities in the future, possibly
I'm down pretty bad gil wise and have like 700k left after spamming roulettes for a week. Can I realistically start leveling either disciple of the land or hand to make some money back or is it too expensive for me right now?
Leveling crafters is generally a gil investment up front.
Thank you 
How big of an investment are we talking about?
Gatherers can get a bit of money.
Greatly server dependent and how self-sufficient you are
I'm usually on ragnarok
Id say that you have to expect a Mil per Crafterer?
At the minimum youāre probably buying your elemental shards/crystals/clusters for making items in general
I thaught Bluemage was a lvl 50 thing not lvl 1
i found a guild in the community finder how do i join?
You could also just try the casual endgame money methods like treasure maps and farming EX trial materials
Nope, Bluemage starts at 1
@obsidian patio you in the Gilgamesh FC?
Their listing should list ways to contact them.
Not sure how these 2 work
Iām in an FC in Gilgamesh, yesā¦
that is the one i want to apply for xD
ohh okay
big rip
!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.
Still pretty new, but post ARR is giving me serious burnout. Any recommendations on something else i can do to break the monotony of running back and forth forever?
can we no longer use firmament to level gatherers?
Firmament is permanent content.
oh nice
The only thing you missed was seeing the construction in progress and two titles from seasonal ranking
i see
Is there any point in getting this elemental gear? it has much less stats than my tomestone gear https://i.imgur.com/Z1HEvzV.png
I'm trying to do eureka
It's just for glam now
No.
Eureka caps you to i300
And the Elemental Bonus state basically acts like extra magicite for every element.
what lvl do ppl generally start doing harder content than just regular duty finder? where/how to start?
Level 80
so if it caps at ilvl 300 then the elemental gear is better right?
Old level cap extreme/savage content isnāt run that much besides unsynced, which removes most of the challenge
Yes
Elemental bonus is VERY powerful if you can manage to stack it
elemental gear is always superior in eureka
ok so no point thinking about static before level 80?
After completing your level 10 class quest for your starting class
Correct
You can try setting small side-goals or go around and do side-content. Thereās a ton of level 50 dungeons to unlock in Mor Dhona for nice variety
I've been grabbing those as I can. Is it worth trying to level any other classes right now, or would it be better to just grit my teeth and burn through the post game?
im a summoner, whats the best way for me to farm 6 bitter memories ._.
you get miserly exp from post level cap quests so it doesn't really matter
if you're getting burned out, by all means pick up a new class
if you're in a hurry to get it done, antitower 6 times
if you're not in a hurry to get it done, just do a levelling queue on another class daily
a good cluster farm group in Bozja can also get them decently fast
how do you limit break
yeah that's also true
it's an ability under general in the ability list
@shut panther can i queue for antitower in um duty finder? ive never done antitower before
Yes you can
i must have and have just forgotten, i havent played in like a year, just coming back LOL
sorry ._.
thank you both for the help c:
any grand company i choose does not realy make a difference?]
Yup no different
!faq grandcompany
Which Grand Company should I choose?
The only differences between the three Grand Companies are the looks of the equipment and where they're located. The story doesn't change in regards to the Grand Company you choose beside the quest that comes after "The Company You Keep". Here is a link leading to sample sets from each of the Grand Companies:
How do I get Grand Company Seals?
You can get more seals mainly by completing your Grand Company Hunting Log (Go to the Hunting Log and click on the GC icon), completing FATEs, and turning in crafted/gathered items to the Personnel Officer if you have crafting or gathering classes unlocked. Once you are Sergeant 2nd Class you can turn in Pink/Green/Blue-rarity gear in exchange for more seals.
which one has some cool gear for a marauder?
click the link
Check the link on faq above. Mayhe you find the sets you prefer more :D
(said sets also cost a LOT of allied seals to obtain)
Flame Elite (can only find a Lala image...)
Since I'm stuck in the post game at the moment, and I've relied on MSQ to level so far, if I wanted to level a different class starting from scratch, whats a good way to go about that?
!faq altlvlguide
1 to 15 is mostly fates, hunting log, and palace of the dead.
there is not really a lot of info on gear sets
do they give any set bonus?
No such thing as a set bonus, no
only cosmetic?
I mean gear does have stats
They are but its barely useful and you gonna drop the geat fast
GC gear actually have set bonus
Yup
GC gear is mostly glam atm since you will have easier way to get stronger gear than the GC gears
the set bonuses on the GC gear are extremely minimal
they're basically just like +1-2 of a stat
Btw currently we dont have a way to quickly gain centurio seals akin to the allied seals with blu right?
Its pain doing daily hunts :(
I looked into ex materials and saw it was about using running a trial unsynched and using desynthesis
Do I only need a crafting class lvl 30 for this?
I think ill just go with my instinct after the remembrance service.
Thank you folks. It was really helpful.
Yeah, deysnth have "exp" though with higher exp than the requirement have higher chance to get rare item upon desynth
yep, level 30 is all you need
having desynth leveled helps of course
do note you need level 30 for each crafter you want to desynth for.
Desynthesis is only one way to obtain the rare materials. Most of them (the only exceptions are ARR ex demimateria) can also drop directly from the trial. But for desynth, yes you have to have lv30 on iirc at least one class, to do the requisite quest.

zonureskin mainly
And on an unrelated note, can I sell on other servers if prices are better
no, only yours
Zonureskin. I'd say that gazelle and dragon have better Gil potential due to not being overdone
Are these trials?
I'm finding a treasure map when I look for zonureskin
Also if you don't want to do map parties with strangers/FC, I recommend doing peisteskin or wyvernskin. Can still drop rare materials, but can be soloed
Treasure maps are their own thing
in the level 70 gear section of any scrip exchange npc
I mean, solo sounds nice if I don't find a party
I don't know what peisteskin and such mean though
Yellow scrips at any scrip trader
yea thx i was in wepone window all along
can I ask a tech/connection related question here? or is there another channel for it?

So basically when gathering, you may find treasure maps, depending on the node's level. There are a large variety of treasure maps, having different names like "Dragonskin Treasure Map" or "Gaganaskin Treasure Map", and each map type has its own loot table. They come in two main types: solo and group. Group types have a chance to spawn a dungeon that has very good rewards, but can't be soloed. Solo maps can't spawn dungeons.
So I should start gathering?
Yes, gathering your own maps is free, but if you don't want to hassle with them, you can also buy maps from the market board. Mind that with solo maps, it's not really profitable
I have some Green Quartz, Limonite and Starcrack Sand. They have the little collectable icon but I can't find anywhere that accepts them. They say 'binding' on them when I hover over them, does that mean I can't do anything with them?
what's the / command for shout chat?
are dotl and doth also seen as jobs?
What's their collectability rating? You need a minimum rating for them to be able to be turned in.
pretty sure just /shout
it doesn't work
Yes, but they can't enter duties and are very bad at combat
Are you trial?
405, 463 and 700
string means text
Trials can't shout
oh
yeah okay, just wanted to know if i should 1. first hit lvl 80 on a job or 2. work on another job at the meantime (alch) since i am interested in it
but ill just wait till i hit 80 on blm first
also clicking the little text bubble gives you the options if it still doesnt work for you
Hmm, at the collectable guy you should see its collectability tiers. 700 should definitely be turnable.
Advice on leveling up fishing? Do I just find somewhere and fish there for a couple hours?
Crafting and gathering (and within gathering, fishing) are separate systems, mainly done to pass the time or get money. They're also intertwined with each other, so if you want to do it, you should level every crafter at once, and use gatherers to get materials
I recommend ocea fishing every 2 hours, and diadem in the meantime
Can I go to any collectable exchange? I'm at the appraiser in Mor Dhona
oh so it does not matter to have any other job (like blm) to lvl 80 first? I would love to play around with the alchemist stuff
I think all collectable guys take everything, but you should see the list of what items the guy will take at their window.
Nope. Crafters and gatherers don't depend on combat jobs one bit (except for farming some materials that drop from mobs). Although you need combat jobs to unlock new zones and flying, which makes gathering easier.
That's what I thought but nothing is highlighted. I'll keep looking but no biggie if I don't find anything I'll just discard it. I didn't want to waste it but I just want a tidy inventory š
I'm on phone, but check the specific items on gamerescape. Should have a list of collectable guys who take it
And I'm about 60% sure that collectable guys in capitals like Limsa take everything
Good evening folks! Is it possible to turn Rowena's Token (Poetics and Genesis) into the tombstone poetics?
i unlocked edens gate savage, and verse savage, but how i unlock promise savage?
No
That just describes what they were purchased with.
how do i know if a boss is stunnable/i can stun an attack, rather than having to interrupt
i know that a flashing bar means you can interrupt so im looking for stunnable attacks as well
Rowena's Tokens are exchanged for tomestone weapons, alongside another type of token received from raid drops.
Past ARR bosses aren't stunnable.
Stuns are for trash.
i see
you still might use them for certain mobs in dungeons though, so still keep the button around
for trash, would i use them to interrupt an attack or more liberally as sort of damage mitigation lite?
it's very specific
for example in dohn mheg you get these frogs with flashing casts
that means they can be interrupted, so actually you'd prolly use the interrupt cast, but stun should also work
The tokens got phased out in 5.3 so i guess i'm screwed? since it has no use now
and that's a good question actually, I don't tend to use stun but it does certainly stop one mob from attacking you while the rest are whaling. so possibly?
it's not like you're normally weaving anything else... don't take my word as gospel though
I had to do a couple small quests but I've got rid of the sand at Rhalgr's Reach, I'll go check out the capital city ones, thanks!
while we're on the topic of dungeons -- should i just use the leveling roulette rather than picking specific ones i want to do?
Do the levelling roulette once per day
After that, just do the highest level dungeon
gotcha, thanks
that isn't a 50/60/70 dungeon that is
they're not designed to give very good exp as they assume that you've reached the cap for that expansion so there's no need to give good exp
so do 59/69/79 whatever
They were designed with no experience in mind so it got tacked on as an afterthought
there's also the fact that the level cap dungeons give tomestones of poetics, so SE probably thought that them giving good EXP and tomestones was too much

for casturm ast i should take ordained ?
if you end up solo healing, sure. If you got a cohealer I suggest Aetherweaver or Templar for better damage
and if you somehow get a party with like 3-4+ healers go Profane if no one else does for MASSIVE damage
How do i download the launcher, i cannot find it anywhere
!faq launcher
hmm thought we had a faq link to it
Logged in yesterday to find out that my character is missing from mogstation. I had a level 80 summoner and completed all the MSQ. What's going on?
I opened a support ticket and they told me to open the client, but I can't due to it repeatedly asking me for a registration code. Even though I bought the corresponding Expansions to hit 80.
ah here we go
!faq download
Okay i got that one but i am stuck on this : So i started my account on PS4, doing free trial, want to see how the game is on PC now and i heard that i can play on the same account. My problem rn is getting to download the game, i found some weird launcher i guess that was so hard to get to for some reasson and now even thought i am free trial the launcher is asking me to put a CODE from a package to continue to download the game
you gotta download the free trial launcher, not the actual game launcher.
!faq freetrial
what are allagan tomestones of poetics used for other than ironworks i130 gear?
Mainly for level 50/60/70 gear
where can I get that?
!faq poetics
Idyllshire/Ishgard for level 60 stuff, Rhalgrās Reach/Kugane for level 70 stuff
ok thx
As helpful as I expected
Well it sounds like either youāre not logging in with the right account, or you got hacked.
can i ask something about my mogstation account ?
Sure
ty
also i saw a scholar did a really big shield how did he do that
for all party members
!skill adloquuum
Restores target's HP.
Cure Potency: 300
Additional Effect: Grants Galvanize to target, nullifying damage equaling 125% of the amount of HP restored. When critical HP is restored, also grants Catalyze, nullifying damage equaling 125% the amount of HP restored.
Duration: 30s
Effect cannot be stacked with astrologian's Nocturnal Field.
Ok so i log in on my free trial account on the free trial launcher and it tells me that " Square Enix accounts that have already registered for a FINAL FANTASY XIV service account are not eligible for a free trial. Please log in using a Square Enix account that has not registered a FINAL FANTASY XIV service account. " literally stuck here
but how did he do it with all party member
It doesn't spread the catalyze but with a strong enough galvanise shield
He hit someone with a hard adlo then used deployment tactics
thats cool
Does anyone know any details about the patch coming out the week?
Unknown
thanks
The safe assumptions are the following:
Diamond Weapon mount drop rate buff + buyable with tokens
YorHa weekly loot lockout removed + can buy Revelry weapon upgrade with coins or nuts
Eden Promise Savage weekly loot lockout removed, along with weapon token from last floor of Eden normal.
The i520 stuff
Cryptlurker
I was referring to it by the tomestone name
ā¦which might be Revelation instead of Revelry
Each Eorzean minute is about 3 earth seconds.
So each Eorzean Hour is around 3 earth minutes.
72 minutes per 24 hours
36
72 minutes wtf? I feel like thatās too long bro for 12 hours in Eorza lol
i was thinking per day. derp
I think I got it
is there an achievement reward/token person in every city? I only found the one in black shroud
Its only him, and he also lost his job at 5.5 since achiv reward can be claimed directly
Now you only visit hin for exchange item for certificate
are ARR relic weapon quests worth it or will I get something better in low level heavensward?
if you like the glamour, but better skip it till you reached lv 80
Old relics are purely glamour
Ah ok Iāll skip it then, thx
They take way too long to be worth being a functional weapon where you could just get an ironworks weapon right now
Yeah thatās what I thought, I looked up a guide and itās like 20 steps or something
Relic is always a time sink, and arr relic is the best at doing it. Even after these years it still the most tedious relic to do due to rng involved
Hello guys, is there a way to speedup download time? Just bought the game and want to continue stormblood but.. 1000minutes long ._. I dont know why my download speed only about 0.4MBps
Hey could I speak to somebody about the client stuff? Supports taking awhile just wanted to ask some basic questions
like DM stuff
Even goes too 1500mnt :"")
there is a third-party launcher that I think downloads faster, I have not used it though
FFXIVQuickLauncher
How exactly does eureka work, like what's the whole point of it? Is it just for glamour?
It's how you get the Stormblood relic, so it was relevant while current (for people who didn't want to get a weapon via Savage raids)
any eureka image guide that I can look at?
but now it is mostly glamour, also some stuff comes exclusively from Eureka (mounts, minions, emotes)
as well as the 56-man dungeon
that too
first 56-man dungeon*
Also there's the story portion of Eureka, if you want to make sure you've seen all the side stories in the game
we dont have one onhand but you can try looking for eureka servers for your dc in #resources they should have guides in them
ok ty ty, i might try google too
Does it take a lot of grinding for eureka
which achievement tracks how many collectibles you've gathered? trying to keep track for mentor status
What you want to know about eureka btw? I think i can help
even with the Echo bonus, Eureka is still a lot of grinding
Yes, its been buffed but it was designed to be a grind
I feel really nostalgic, just kill mobs to gain exp right?
well
It's very old rpg style and the environment is better than bozjan
Yup, the core mechanic of eureka is
Kill specific enemy to spawn fate (NM) then do the fate
Rinse and reoeat
You kind of have to participate in the NM fights to get the materials needed to progress the weapon
slightly higher level than you if you can
Solo you can try up to 3 level as tank/healer
For dps trry to keep it at 2 level
Especially if you mobbing tjen
if someone killing lv 15 mob, can i tag and gain exp?
You wont get exo on enemy 6+ lvl above you
Also exp system is different, is based on % dmg you dealt. So tagging will only give you miniscule to no exp
you'll barely get any exp since contribution is by damage too
Am I able to DM somebody who knows a lot about accounts steam/ffxiv?
ok understood
Better to just ask instead of DMing, it's just that kinda channel
the answers you get may help other people
yo my friend is attempting to download the game for the first time. He is having an issue saying "unable to download patch notes" im unsure how to fix this anyone got ideas would be great?
Ahh.. I basically bought FFXIV from SE but my account is from Steam on the Mac side
there should be an error code, you can copy the code here
Do I just download the client from FF and play from there?
Also make good use of magia board. It give chunk of def/atk depends on how you put it
the code won't work
you have an existing trial account on Steam? if so, yeah, it will not accept the code you bought
Hmm
oh you playing steam on mac? š¤
Check your account type on Mogstation
No no
That tells you your account type
I used to but i'm on Windows now
then have to download steam on windows now
as long as you stay on steam, it will be ok
Sorry where do I check my account type?
Also do i need to buy gametime? would that be the reason I can't get in?
we can see your id š
Oh my just says Standard
If you only just bought the game, you don't need to pay for game time yet
So you're not a steam account
Normal launcher says its not valid or I got no subscription
Hello FF14 chat server once again
Where should I put my poll that involves lots of spoilers?
Thank you!
Complete edition was supposed to give me 30days
You can see your sub time under that section
But it didn't

hello guys i farmed 100 diamond exe tokens, where to exchange for the mount?
alright thank you!
not buyable with tokens yet
I've had gametime before so maybe that means I'm not entitled?
Can't yet
XD
yo my friend is attempting to download the game for the first time. He is having an issue saying "unable to download patch notes" im unsure how to fix this anyone got ideas would be great?
i farmed but cant buy š¦
You can never buy the mount for awhile
That comes a few patches later
might be with this patch on Tuesday
that would be before endwalker or endwalker itself?
ohh i hope so
thank you for reply
So do I need game time for my account to let me in? or nah?
Either this patch or 5.58
bit confused. You owned the game before, and bought it again, or no?
that is my last one for the big boi mount
@proud willow yeah i was licensed for steam on Mac version
Check this section
so better play as healer/tank? š¤

which circles do you have below your account status, where the platforms are listed?
All 4 for both mac and windows
Imo yes, healer lets you sustain a lot of dmg with heal
Tank have mitigation and high base def
Although after you reach 3rd area (pyros) every job become viable with logos action (similar to lost action but less flexible)
And what does it say below that for sub status
anyone have any tips on how to get a house, clicking this much has my hand DYING
Subscription is inactive
Click harder and gl

I think Support may need to sort it out. You should have gotten 30 days again for registering another platform
get a wireless gamepad and do your thing š
i assume macros are bannable then?
easier to buy a house with gamepad
You definitely cannot mix PC Steam and PC non-Steam. I don't know how it would work with Steam for Mac
where can i be notified for ffxiv sales
I'm currently lvl-ing through shadowbringers. after i reach 80. what should i do to get best in slot gear? which raids and such?
first time I've even heard of that being available
Hence my confusion because I'm licensed for all of it
but I didn't get gametime it says my license isn't valid or my sub expired
So unless i'm not entitled to the 30 days gametime
I'm currently lvl-ing through shadowbringers. after i reach 80. what should i do to get best in slot gear? which raids and such?
In theory I just need to add game time?
!faq gearguide
thx
In theory it should've given you game time
so I would get a response from Support before you try to start a subscription
First you dont need a BiS gear exceot you do ultimate, savage or parsing. For casual the rule of thump are higher ilvl = better
Second.. someone already give you the gest progression XD
Ok thank you for your help
Is there any benefit from doing dungeons and leveling while doing MSQ?
only if you are underleveled
And your level is kinda meaningless without story progress
No point rushing levels cause story locks literally everything
The exp fron msq is not enough to clear it but overgrind exp also useless..
Back in my day leveling + alliance roullete everyday enough to pace my exp around the msq
I just do duty roulette once a day with my tank/healer alt job and do MSQ with my DPS
i just want to have the best gear for when i decide to join a free company so i can raid with them and not get flamed for getting outdamaged
What is this roulette?
First thing you see when opening duty finder
Ah
You dont need that
Is there a damage meter in dungeons? to see how much dmg someone deals or how do you know when someone is underhelming
Only third party
Fc =/= raid team
Again, bis also not mandatory. Highest ilvl is enough
!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.
Beware you may lose all faith in humanity if used in dungeons
why lol?
yeah not necessary at all...
XD
You will see people that barely do their rotation
uh how do i go about gathering wood?
Be botanist
are randos that bad for you guys lol?
Become a reaper botanist
how do i do that
console player doesn't even use those tools and still do well
Go get it in gridina
Randoms in Df? More often than it should
Gotta love people using ST rotations in a 15 mob pull
Well... Lets say i meet a tank that only do single rarget rotation on wall to wall..
A heal only "bot"
Ice mage, hardcast rdm and many weird things
Or you know the classic drg floor tank
im faulty of being bad in dungeons lol. but only recently cause up to end of stormblood i have been a BLM main and when i started shadowbringers i went: "uhhhhhhhhhh dragoon now" and now i get roasted allot. but i have gotten allot better
i think...
roasted by who?...
hmm I think if you just don't die to red stuff, it's ok
i usually don't die to red stuff
i only die when the tank doesn't take agro like a dumbass
nah idm
Dragoon is jokingly called the floor tank cuz they were the OG backflip off the arena before red mage
you only optimise in savage/ultimates
Yes and no, no harm forming good habits in casual content
oh true, bad wording
since you can optimise on anything, lol
what i mean is plan rotation, etc
Red mages should make a habit of using swift to try for verfire/stone procs etc
hey whats the fastest way to level up ur second job
i tried red mage.... it's so godamn boring
!faq altlvlguide
why does a class need 5 second cast time?
Uhhh
Because you play it wrong
Like
Wow you were just bad at playing red mage
!trait dualcast
Grants the effect of Dualcast upon casting any spell with a cast time. While under the effect of Dualcast, your next spell will require no time to cast. Effect is canceled upon execution of any action other than an ability. Auto-attacks do not cancel effect.
can just join lv 8 skirmish as lv 4?
can I check my leve allowances somewhere without going to a leve-quest npc?
Yes
or is it recommended?
For aoe is veraero to impact
Quest journal bottom right
Not impact to veraero
ohh, thanks
at this point, it's not ACT that you need but reading guide š
i agree. i tried it for an hour and got bored so i never tried getting better
Hey I have a quick question about the Au-Ra.
Can u change the horns and scales later on or is that fix?
I saw a hardcast verrraise once
Yes you cam but exp gained is reduced (also got no crystal) and you will have trouble reaching that place since the rule is NM level is 5 level lower than the monster spawns it
So you are going into lvl 13ish mobster teritorry
ok ty ty
That would need a fantasia iirc
fixed but upon completion of the base game (arr) you get a fantasia for free
The first quest tells you exactly how to play it with NPC shouts tbf.
Ah Well that doesnāt make the decision of what to choose easier! Thanks for the answers

The five second cast time is the game telling you āhey you shouldnāt be seeing such a long cast time, youāre doing it wrongā
no like, it is not you are bad
it is more that you dont know which to cast first
the 5 sec spells are meant to be dual casted so it is casted instantly
to do this you cast the 2 sec spell first, then the 5 sec is casted instantly
meaning you move around while casting way easier than BLM
Back when i was newbie
Veraero-> verthunder
Verthunder -> veraero
:V
i felt attacked
How do you look up people? I am using "Player search" and typing someone on my friends list first name and it says no results.... even though I can clearly see them online
Gotta keep the bar balanced man!
different world?
What class should I take for be Ninja ?
When you use a fish to moosh, do you lose it afterwards?
Open the FC menu with the semicolon key ;
Or do they act as lure
And view the member list
You lose it
Gotcha
I mean if I want to apply to an FC but am trying to get intouch with one of their members is there a way to see who is online in that FC if you aren't in it?
It gets chewed up by whatever you catch so its basically gone
No
how do i talk to ejika in pagos? that haunt killed me the moment i dropped
Hi i finally got my first gathering job to level 80 what is the best way to earn scripts for gear?
Level up and be careful.
Gonna grind a few to get shadow catfish then
im guessing i will need white now?
I saw they sell for a decent price too
Note undead enemies despawn during daytime.
Shout for a raise if thereās anyone else in the instance
I've been shouting
You can delevel yes
Fuck pagos
You wonāt lose one whole level of exp at once though
So depends how close you are in exp progress.
it takes forever to gain one level tho
it takes less than a second to lose that level
Leveling is quite fast in Eureka nowadays with Echo and mob chaining
Donāt worry about it too much
what's the / command specific to eureka?
the one to get attack element automatically
ty
ah "/magiaauto atk" also works
Hey. I'm about to enter a subscription, and the mog site tells me that "A recruitment code may be redeemed using this service account."
ty ā¤ļø
does the data center matter?
I see some are even offering gil or mentoring when accepting their code
if they are not on the same datacentre as you, they cant trade you the gil/offers
other than that, you can enter the code of anybody regardless of datacentre
Is there a reason why healers start to heal me when I'm on ~30% hp? Maybe there is a threshold, above which you can't apply heals? Or they're more effective, if cast upon low hp target
So they can spend more time DPSing
You don't need to be full
If you're alive you're fine
Good healers will let you drop low before snapping their fingers and healing you up
Its the healer who adopt "only last hp matters" policy which is a good mindset for healer
For Ast though have 1 healing skill that heals more when you on low so theres that
I see, so healers are basically dps-jobs with side ability to heal

Damn right, yep
also remember that out of combat healing is very OP if your healer leaves you low between packs
You nailed it
A healer who keeps people topped up at all times and limits their dps, is a shite healer
Their job isn't healing, its contributing
DPSing is the best healing in this game
or a nervous newbie
with respect, same thing. some just don't know better
If I have a sprout that overheals I just w2w the dungeon hahaha
either way, to answer the question.
only the last point of hp matters. furthermore, there are no source of random damage in the game aka all damage is predictable
so the healer has plently of time to top you up before you get hit again by something that can kill you
can you do multiple hand-ins for every leve or only specific ones?
only specific ones
off the top of my heads, its the elf mother lady card
"the matron" i think
oh
its also different between expansions. have to go google it
thnaks
There's a specifric level to get flame seal's from Fate or i can basically do every fate from 1 to 80?
im not sure. i know you definitely get them from ARR FATEs but i didnt pay attention in other areas.
im inclined to say all FATEs.
I just picked up seals while I was leveling my alt classes
I just found this game, is it still populated? is it subscription based? pay to win?
After doing hunt logs
Yes, yes, no
Free trail is great
!faq subprice
I don't wanna pay a subscription :(
Itās worth it
I know but I still don't wanna pay subscription
what's with the comlete edition on the website?
just play the free trial. decide later
complete edition = all current expansions included
the complete edition offers the base game and all current expansions
The whiole gamd
you get the expansion packs, and then can't play them without a subscription?
basically yea.
yes but you can't play the game without a subscription so they'd be useless
once you buy the standard / complete edition, you get 30 days free anyways
You get free 30days on buying the game
and another 15 if you hit level 30 on a character
Afterwards is subbed
The free trial is half the game
yes but I wish I could just buy the whole game and never pay again, I don't like subscription based games..
Like 200 hours of content no cost
I just watched a youtuber's let's play for like 20 seconds
Just donāt buy the game then
It's the cost of 4. Soon to be 5. Games all in one
the free trial tickles a lot of peoples fancies honestly
its very much worth a go, and indefinite
Itās literally the base game and first expac
It's not that I wouldn't like the game, cause I know I'd love it
it's just not worth starting playing with the free trial when I know I wouldn't pay the subscription to continue playing..
You donāt have to do that
cause I'd get addicted and then disappointed for not continuing :(
This game do be addicting tho
wait what do you mean?
@lime spire the free trial lasts forever
The trial has no time limit
what do you mean with this?
the free trial has no time limit
oh really?
no no, sorry
nope lol
when you buy the game, you get 30 free days
then what do you gain by subbing?
itās unlimited
oh
the rest of the expacs
Access to the rest of the tame
!faq freetrial
And trial limitations lifted
the free trial is UNLIMITED, but you level only up to 60, and only have up to the first expansion of the game
etc etc
you're limited to 200k gil and lvl 60 on free trial
but its quite nice all things considered
300k gil
Itās also a game that you can pick up and put down
and what's the max of those?
All classes
max lvl is 80 and gil is unlimited
9999999999 gil and lv80
where do i exchange the silver chocobo feathers?
damn that's actually nice
very nutty
Raids story locations etc
thats like 200 hours +
the calamnity salvager iirc
Heavensward
i tried that, but he doesn't show any items, only the lvl 50 drg gear i already have
Deal in spoils
how many books do you get per Eden sav clear
1
Per floor per week
Until lockout is lifted
Then its just 1 per clear per floor
I don't get it though
you buy the starter edition
then it says 30 days of free game time
then you need subscription
wym
oh
You get 1 book when you clear the floor (e9s or whatever). Can only get a book on your first clear after weekly reset for the week.
then how long does it to get say caster BiS
I got mine like week 4-5
Though I'm a greedy loot gremlin 
Just depends if you win the rolls on coffers
Its on average about 5 to 6 weeks in average groups
damn man
Would anyone be able to help me with getting the game set up?
Pray to rngesus more
Or is this not a good place for that
my rng is shit so will probably take me twice the time it would take for others
BiS is i535?
#protips-and-ui for ui stuff
full crypt can reach i530 with weapon so why bother with eden?
Relic is bis so u can grind that
Better substats
Better substats
is Zadnor like bozja ?
Some crypt sucks ass
Yes
Tome gear has way too much spell speed
is the difference that drastic?
Better but mostly the same
hmm
Alot of tome gear sucks ass for rdm/smn
what else do we have like those
If your doing savage yes
Not really but you dont care about how minor it is when you chase BiS
Eureka
