Unless you’re doing savage you don’t need bis

vital ruin

i dont need a relic quest and Save the Queen storyline. ?

modest igloo

Those quests are the storyline

#

The relic is totally optional

leaden ginkgo

You can ignore the relic itself

But the Stq stuff is bojzan story

!faq meta

How FFXIV's Meta Works

All jobs are good and viable in all content. The difference between meta and non-meta is minor, to the point that player skill is a significantly more important factor. Play what you enjoy/what interests you most, and you can make it work.

leaden ginkgo
#

Alright let me ask it different

#

Does he have the most AOE as a tank?

faint flare
#

Same

whole wasp
#

All tanks have the same amount of AoE

modest igloo
#

Same as the others

leaden ginkgo
#

LOL

#

More damage?

hard parrot
#

Tanks are fairly well-balanced.

whole wasp
#

All 4 tanks are around 5% of each other at the highest level of play

modest igloo
hard parrot
#

There is a slight meta, but it’s barely noticeable. Not enough to overcome player skill.

whole wasp
#

how good you are plays more of a role than what tank you play

hard parrot
#

But no, strictly speaking, DRK does not do the most optimal damage.

leaden ginkgo
modest igloo
#

If you want x tank to be the best play it

autumn hedge

When you're looking at a provisions levemete and it has a star next to it, what does that mean?

Oooh

So i can play my paladin in end content wihtout getting flamed for playing a bad class?

#

No

Ye, PLD is fine. No one will flame you.

modest igloo
#

You can play ANY JOB

gloomy mortar

warm snow
faint flare
#

Only get flamed if you're garbage

warm snow
#

Or if you're playing your class badly

#

But you're more likely to get a "try doing x"

hard parrot
#

Sorry to ask this right after “there’s no meta,” but are there any classes that perform poorly in ultimates? Just wondering if I can take anything in, or if old content scaling is weird. I noticed that usage %’s were much more skewed than they were for the current tier.

leaden ginkgo
#

Okay okay and what about the rotation atleast that needs to be different right? which one of the tanks has the fastest or smoothest rotation?

faint flare
#

Gunbreaker is slick

autumn hedge
#

I just got the message "You sense the presence of a powerful mark" but I'm inside a city?

heavy wadi
#

Sounds like a boss fate

hard parrot
#

WAR has the most straightforward rotation, and GNB has the highest-paced one.

autumn hedge
#

I'm inside camp drybone

#

like smack dab in the middle

heavy wadi

that’s not a city

Ye, you’re still in the wild dunes. Only city-states and sanctuaries are completely safe.

ah ok

cities are limsa, ul’dah, gridania, etc

warm snow
leaden ginkgo
#

And at what level can i do Gunslicker?

faint flare
#

60

warm snow
#

Outside that, pld makes a better ot than Mt since it lacks auto recovery in its standard combo but that's nitpicky optimization that's not necessary

leaden ginkgo
#

Aiii 60 is harsh

warm snow
#

It came with the level 80 expansipn

#

The new Endwalker jobs will require lv70

#

Also it starts at 60

gloomy mortar
#

Harsh

leaden ginkgo
#

It start at 60 lol

hard parrot
#

It doesn’t play like a typical tank, so you may as well practice something else in the meantime.

leaden ginkgo

Now thats alright

We also have this

exotic flume
# faint flare Same

Does warrior get the 2x circle aoe like paladin does? Afaik it only has a cone and a single circle aoe and i don't remember the paladin having a cone AOE

warm snow
#

It gets cone then a circle

faint flare
#

Cone into circle

warm snow
#

That's it

#

No changes

faint flare
#

And decimate

exotic flume
#

IF you only get cone it's not the same aoe if you ask me,t hat would make marauder require extra skill to hit those cones.

warm snow
#

Warrior is the only tank that has a cone aoe

faint flare
#

Same amount of aoe

exotic flume
#

i mean, not only cone sorry,

faint flare
#

And cones aren't that hard

hard parrot
#

It’s not that difficult to hit cones. You’ll struggle a bit at the start, but you’ll adjust.

patent citrus
#

if you get used it, you might never want to go back to circular one, lol

exotic flume
#

K, then not the same, that was my only point. PAladin is easier :3

#

(for aoe)

warm snow
#

2 hit aoe that's whats the same

gloomy mortar
#

360 covers more area than cone

hard parrot
#

Ye, but cones extend further front, so sometimes you forget to move closer in for circles. Circles are easier, but it’s not a big skill differential.

gloomy mortar
#

360 Also is better when running and attacking. You can hit enemies behind you

faint flare
#

I hit enemies behind me when running

#

Cause you turn briefly when using skills

#

You just need 1 functioning braincell

How do you unlock Coerthas Western highlands?

!faq job

zinc orbitBOT
#
How do I unlock my job?

To unlock your class' job you need to be level 30, complete all of your class quests and the main scenario quest 'Sylph Management' (lvl 20 quest) to be able to pick up your job unlock quest. Once you've done the initial unlock quest, you will be given a soul crystal which you must equip to become your class' job.

warm snow
#

Ninja is the job upgrade for rogue

#

See above

leaden ginkgo
#

There is job quests that you have to do

graceful kestrel
#

Ohh ok thanks 🙂

Then equip the soul stone you're given

!faq serverlock

Why can't I enter this server?

Standard, Preferred, and New Servers will dynamically open and close themselves from newly created characters depending on how many players are online. To ensure you're able to make a new character on your server try waiting or doing so at a less active time of day.
Congested Servers will not unlock for new players or transfers until Square Enix removes the Congested Status.

Heyo. Im a returning player. And i tried PotD for the first time. Did a random PUG. And after we finished floor 10. I left and went from lvl 1 to lvl 3 on the outside
Isnt it just waaaay faster to kill normal mobs around the world? :O
I thought PotD was supposed to be the "speedy alt-leveling method"
Ty :D

jade quartz
#

Absolutely not

#

Killing normal mobs is not a remotely viable way to level.

#

However PotD isn’t good for very low levels.

#

To level from 1–15ish you should just to your class hunting log

#

Which I guess is technically killing normal overworld mobs but only those which are hunting log objectives.

split dagger
#

Yeah i worded that pretty bad. I meant for level 1 to 3 xD It would have been faster to just kill stuff normally. My bad

You pick jobs for their stats or to meet chemistries

You usually don't meet all 3 of those

solid fog
#

Oh you are supposed to do those with 1 missing /

#

I always do those missions by meeting all the requirments

faint flare
#

Even with everyone capped I can't hit them all

#

It's a 33% chance per stat met

#

Only flagged missions need all 3 met

solid fog
#

ah..

#

what about the quest called

#

"Imperial Recon"

#

its level 40 the one that gives you exp

faint flare
#

If it doesn't say "flagged mission" then you don't need all 3

so max i can get is 66%

Because it's player updated

Is there an option to refresh or something?

@pine onyx universalis is not fetched from real-time, its player updated

What's player updated

@pine onyx because that's the last time the plugin updated the site, that was the price

alpine shadow

Updates by players

#

With an addon

Is there another website which is real time?

Hey, guys should I avoid side quest and focus in the main history or do everything?

if you really really want to do side quests, do so, but it is not required

Do blue + quests.

#

!faq questicons

zinc orbitBOT
#
What do all these quest icons mean?

msq - These are how you reach the endgame and every other bit of content is locked behind it to some extent. MANDATORY
bluequest - 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
sidequest - 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
repeatquest - These are quests you can do more than once, how often you can repeat it is up to the individual quest.

nocturne eagle

re: the pre-order, will i need to enter another code later or is the one for the items all i'll need?

Hey ppl, i'm lvl 46, to continue with the MSQ, i've got to be 49. Would you recommend me something in particular, or to unlock anything mandatory for a later lvl or anything really to get to 49 ? ( i've done all the class / job quests )

i want to know when my 2x EXP buff expires in terms of dates

#

was it?

jade quartz
#

World statuses are changed every patch but we don’t know if goblin specifically will be changed

#

Exp buff is guaranteed to last 90 days even if server status changes.

outer mural
#

It's measured by a metric that only SE knows to determine if it would stay preferred

elder pagoda
#

oh, i read online that these road to 70 buffs run for 90 days

outer mural
#

correct

#

it's 90 days or when the server stops being preferred

#

whichever lasts longer between the two

elder pagoda
#

90 days from when the player creates their character on the planet, or 90 days for the planet

jade quartz
#

90 days from character creation

elder pagoda
#

k thanks

#

They’re called worlds or servers, not planets

i'll just use "server" and crystal is my "data center" i guess

faint flare

Yes

dreamy fjord
#

is this the leveling route? it gives me 1k xp tho

#

i have like 450.000 / lvl

oak ice
#

That is a leve quest

finite wind
#

each region has it's own tier of lv quests

jade quartz
#

Nooooooooo

finite wind
#

zone, rather

elder pagoda
#

nah that's like the worst one you could choose

jade quartz
#

I have to admit that’s pretty funny

warm snow
dawn hare
#

I cleared castrum abania and quest didnt proceed NotLikeKomi

warm snow
#

Secondly that's a level 10 levequest

jade quartz
#

Open the duty finder with U by default

dawn hare
#

oops

elder pagoda
#

select the leveling tab in your duty finder and click on whatever highest level dungeon you have

jade quartz
#

Select duty roulette: leveling

dawn hare
warm snow
#

So it gives okay ish exp, for a level 10 job

jade quartz
#

No, first select duty roulette leveling

dawn hare
elder pagoda
#

i guess you should do that leve thing at some point just to get acquainted with them, but yeah do what Lyon is telling you to do

dreamy fjord
jade quartz
#

Yes

warm snow
#

Yes

#

That's for roulettes which give a bonus once a day

elder pagoda
#

why is it only lvl 16 though if he's at ARR MSQ lvl 49

warm snow
#

The levelling one selects a random levelling dungeon that you can currently access. If the dungeon is far below your current job level it gives extra exp payout proportional to the level difference

elder pagoda
#

oh because cropped

warm snow
heavy wadi
jade quartz
#

That’s just the minimum entry level

#

It always says level 16

dreamy fjord
#

thank you guys

elder pagoda
#

gotcha, thanks

#

i'm only a week into this game

jade quartz
#

After doing roulette once, switch to doing your highest level dungeon

dreamy fjord
#

got it

jade quartz
#

The roulette exp bonus only applies once daily

wanton lintel
#

Where can I get better equipment in shadowbringers? I’m on level 76 quests and still have like level 403 equipment

jade quartz
#

But it’s huge

elder pagoda
#

oh wow, good to know all this stuff!

polar glade
#

Hey everyone, i have a question on behalf of a friend of mine. He got this message last night when trying to purchase a timecard for an fc buddy '"To be fair to our other customers, purchases of this product are limited"

Now hes worried he'll never be able to buy another one again, and no one had come across the error message like...ever xD (respectfully so xD)

jade quartz
elder pagoda
#

or you can pay some dude 100k for a lvl 50 staff with a +33 int bonus 😂

jade quartz
#

Don’t do that

elder pagoda
#

joking

storm aurora
#

hey guys I have a question. I cant access my hunting logs for any classes, I already completed up to lvl 15 rogue quest and still cant access them. on my other character i was able to access them from lvl 1

#

anyone had this happen before?

warm snow
#

You only need a minimum ilevel of 390 to get through all the item level restricted content

storm aurora
#

I can access my gc logs but not any class logs

warm snow
#

You need to unlock the other classes first

storm aurora
#

all of them?

jade quartz
#

No

boreal storm
#

just the ARR ones

jade quartz
#

No you don’t

warm snow
#

Wtf is that class spread

dire prawn
#

Wait

#

You don't have

#

A single not-ARR class

#

At 50

#

But you have all the expansion jobs

#

The fuck

warm snow
#

You need to finish the level 10 quests for your starter job

jade quartz
#

Level boost.

storm aurora
#

i started a new character and lvl boosted

warm snow
#

The level skips have janked something up somewhere

boreal storm
#

yikes

storm aurora
#

i have done that

jade quartz
#

You need to do that to even unlock other jobs

polar glade
#

^

warm snow
#

Hence "janked something up somewhere"

#

Dude has no starter jobs past level 10

elder pagoda
#

that is mad weird even for a 1 week old noob to this game

faint flare
#

What job did you start as

storm aurora
#

DRK

faint flare
#

No

warm snow
#

Rogue is not a starter job

jade quartz
#

No

faint flare
#

START as

warm snow
elder pagoda
#

i'm lvl 55 thrm / 52 rdm / 55 blm and that all makes sense

faint flare
#

As in. What did you pick

warm snow
#

Which job did you select during character creation

faint flare
#

When you created

jade quartz
#

When you created your character

halcyon tulip
#

What did you select in character creation?

storm aurora
#

uhmm gladiator i think

jade quartz
#

Go do your gladiator quests

faint flare
#

Then go get that to lv10

storm aurora
#

get that to 10?

warm snow
#

Then get that to 10 including quests and get back to us

faint flare
#

And do it's job quests

storm aurora
#

oh ok thanks guys

jade quartz
#

Should be just the first quest actually.

worn sedge
#

Hey! I often get crashed while doing stuff with my botany gathering log. Can someone explain why? This is the error I get:

warm snow
#

Iirc your initial job quest gives your hunting log but you skipped that

#

So you're probably not flagged to have a hunting log at all

elder pagoda
#

how much is a lvl skip anyways, what does it boost your job to.. 70?

dire prawn
#

Yes

warm snow
#

Idk and 70

dire prawn
#

Lv 70 for $25

boreal storm
#

This isn't the reason we say not to job skip on your first character, but it's a new one

dire prawn
#

Story skip is another $25 to go to the start of ShB

elder pagoda
#

so if i boosted RDM to 70 and I am 55 thrm, i'd still be 55 thrm?

warm snow
#

Yeah

dire prawn
#

I hope you mean 55 BLM

elder pagoda
#

sounds kinda weird

dire prawn
#

But yes

warm snow
#

You'd also skip all your job quests and have a bunch of skills you don't know about

#

2 good reasons not to skip imho

elder pagoda
#

i am 55 BLM yes but my class is still thrm and at 55 along with BLM job

dire prawn
#

You'd be 55 BLM but your RDM even if you didn't have it unlocked would be unlocked and boosted to 70

#

Yeah it does that

jade quartz
#

Your class is now BLM

warm snow
#

Once you go black you should never go back

boreal storm
#

RDM starts at 50, so you'd just be buying 20 levels

jade quartz
#

You gain THM exp but that’s a quirk of the system

dire prawn
#

That too

elder pagoda
#

gotcha

#

so the thrm stuff just kinda levels up along with whatever BLM or RDM exp you get but it's pretty much to be ignored since no one would play without a soul crystral at this point

warm snow
#

Yeah

dire prawn
#

Even though you're Black Mage

jade quartz
#

Blm is THM

#

Your THM is a BLM now

#

RDM is unrelated

elder pagoda
#

yeah it is, the staff is THM BLM

jade quartz
#

You don’t need to think about THM anymore

#

It’s been upgraded to BLM

#

Consider yourself a BLM

#

You have graduated from being a THM.

elder pagoda
#

uh huh

jade quartz
#

RDM does not have a base class.

elder pagoda
#

i just though lvl 50 THM was a pre-requisite of RDM

jade quartz
#

It is not

elder pagoda
#

ah i see

heavy wadi
#

any level 50 class is a pre-req for rdm

jade quartz
#

And you shouldn’t be a 50 THM, from 30 onwards you should be a BLM

heavy wadi
#

you just need one

elder pagoda
#

i have been a BLM since level 30

dire prawn
#

That is good ASthumbsup

hollow pelican
#

One thing, a friend TP'd out of azys la during the hw msq. Where are the teleporters to go to the next island?

dire prawn
#

But yes, for all expansion jobs the only requirement is that you have something at the level requirement

dire prawn
jade quartz
dire prawn
#

If it helps any they're doing what's essentially a giant fucking circle

elder pagoda
#

i'm just getting through ARR so I can start doing the BLM stuff above lvl 50 now

dire prawn
#

A clockwise circle

hollow pelican
#

Care to share a screencap of it?

elder pagoda
#

got the blm outfit and flare spell about 6 days into playing the game because of exp bonus

dire prawn
#

noice

#

I'm 47 BLM just before my fight with Titan on Crystal myself LUL

elder pagoda
#

nice nice

#

it's been fun

dire prawn
#

if there's no orange circle tell him to screenshot and then send that to us

#

We'll know where he needs to be from that

elder pagoda
#

i'm just looking forward to the quests catching up with my level so the spells on my hotbar don't have to be replaced with lower level ones

#

one aspect of 2x ecp

jade quartz
#

Zoom in to see the labels.

elder pagoda
#

is being overleved for ARR, mobs don't aggro you and your BLM spells often don't meet story dungeon or event requirements

hollow pelican
#

She is at the first island, you can't reach that one walking, right?

faint flare
#

The transporter is the bottom right of the first island

#

Zoom in

jade quartz
#

Zoom in to see the map label text

faint flare
#

It says matter transporter

dire prawn
#

Tell them to go to the second orange dot on that first island

jade quartz
#

Find the matter transmitters

dire prawn
#

And use the teleporter to get to the second island

#

And then they'll be able to pick up where they left off

#

Also tell them to not teleport out until they get Flying because otherwise they'll have to repeat the entire circuit

autumn hedge
#

How do you change to a new grand company?

dire prawn
#

By going to another one

warm snow
#

Go to the other grand company and ask to change

dire prawn
#

You go to the other one

#

Find their commander

#

Ask to change

warm snow
#

Transfer is free the first time then 10k gil for each change after

dire prawn
#

Twin Adder is Versaille, Maelstrom is R'ashaht, Immortal Flames is Swift

warm snow
#

Or was it 50k

#

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

jade quartz
#

You must reach 2nd Lieutenant track in your original GC before you can unlock the option to switch.

dire prawn
#

That sounds like pain

elder pagoda
#

sorry but:

jade quartz
#

You change with the personnel officer not the commander.

warm snow
#

What about it?

elder pagoda
#

classes does not list "BLM," jobs does

jade quartz
elder pagoda
#

so isn't it correct to refer to BLM as the job

faint flare
#

Cause blm is a job

warm snow
#

Anything with a soul crystal is a job

faint flare
#

Classes are the baby versions

jade quartz
#

Yes but the terms are interchangeable for most practical purposes

#

And class is more universal mmo/video game language.

faint flare
#

Since they're literally the same thing it doesn't matter

civic flare
#

Leveling my first alt job and curious if I’m doing it right. It’s a DRK so q time is okay. I play like 3-4 hours a night and have been trying to do all roulettes but it takes ~2 hours. Should I keep doing those or just grind highest level dungeon? Are there any roulettes like raid I shouldn’t do?

elder pagoda
boreal storm
#

They've been called jobs since the beginning of Final Fantasy, so we just call em that for simplicity

leaden ginkgo
#

When Do i get into the new expansion i am lvl 35 and getting very tired of this boring Realm Reborne MSQ

elder pagoda
#

yet i was given this huge lecture earlier

warm snow
elder pagoda
#

over the semantics

jade quartz
#

Your class is now BLM.

jade quartz
#

It wasn’t semantics

faint flare
#

After ALLLLL of arr's story quests

leaden ginkgo
#

oh god

civic flare
jade quartz
#

Not being a THM is quite important

faint flare
#

The story is completely linear

boreal storm
#

There's no reason to ever refer to your class, if you aren't going to use it

elder pagoda
#

BLM is an acquired job for THM

outer mural
#

they are one and the same

jade quartz
#

Blm is the upgraded form and continuation of THM.

warm snow
heavy wadi
#

They are the same.

#

Period.

boreal storm
#

Cool, you're a BLM tho

elder pagoda
#

yeah, i get that

jade quartz
#

Good

leaden ginkgo
heavy wadi
#

idk why you're still arguing this

jade quartz
#

So discussion over

warm snow
outer mural
#

yeah if the question was answered and the individual gets it let's move on

elder pagoda
#

alright, well according to the square enix site THM is the class and BLM is the job. crystals = job.

outer mural
#

yup

civic flare
outer mural
#

that is correct

elder pagoda
#

so that was all a lot for nothing

outer mural
#

yeah?

warm snow
leaden ginkgo
#

Thats like the worst thing to do i was into the story till lvl 20 but when it always was the same thing i just skip everything and go on

dire prawn
leaden ginkgo
#

And you get literally no EXP

elder pagoda
#

sure they're interchangeable but there was no need for me to be corrected either

#

whatever, gonna play the game

#

bbl

outer mural
#

you clearly understand they are the same

elder pagoda
#

i do

jade quartz
#

You had a misunderstanding about the system and it was cleared up.

outer mural
#

mhm

elder pagoda
#

my only misunderstanding was RDM isn't related to THM

outer mural
#

it is not, no

#

separate job

#

hate how job/class are two different terms technically AAAAAKKO

elder pagoda
#

i had 0 misunderstandings about how the BLM "job" plays into THM "class"

outer mural
heavy wadi
#

cool. then discussion over.

wanton lintel
#

When does shadowbringers get good I’m on level 76 quests and it’s ok but nothing amazing

stray mason
#

Do tanks do significantly less damage than DPS jobs?

warm snow
#

About 75% of a dps

warm snow
dry solstice
#

anyone know where i can find pictures of the different uldahn barding

#

cant seem to find any where it specifies which is which

outer mural
#

ctrl+f it

#

they should look the same but armored iirc?

heavy wadi
dry solstice
#

that link doesnt have em clickable unfortunately

autumn hedge
#

Where in Gridania is the grand company located?

outer mural
#

iirc the differences between each are very very little

oak ice
#

Just northwest of the aetheryte

outer mural
#

where my cursor is

dry solstice
#

is it safe to assume crested is the most armorey one?

outer mural
#

literally just tp'd into gridania too lmao

autumn hedge
#

Ah I see it. Thank you

outer mural
#

while i cannot give you specific pictures i do know for a fact that crested is the most busy / armored of the 3

dry solstice
#

alright thats probably good enough

#

thanks

autumn hedge
#

O cam

#

oops

#

I can't find who to talk to for changing my grand company

fallow cape
#

If you want to find people to play with, which of the chats do you ask in? ^^

boreal storm
#

#recruitment-[DataCenter]

#

but you're undecided, so just talk to randos you meet in game

leaden ginkgo
#

where can i get a lot of Glamour Prisms?

devout crystal
#

How do you customize the hotbar like this? My hotbars are either 10 x 1 horizontal or vertical. Can you like move individual hotbar 1x1??

fallow cape
faint flare
devout crystal
#

Oh

warm snow
devout crystal
#

I get it

devout lichen
#

Do you guys use the official 2fa app or a different one? Thinking of a different one cuz I don't wanna have a phone call

warm snow
#

I use Google authenticator since they added support for that in the last patch and the old app feels like something from Windows xp

alpine shadow
#

i use Bitwarden, it costs a bit for 2fa support, but i can afford 10$ a year

viscid fossil
#

This is weird, my entire holster items disappeared.

alpine shadow
#

did you hit save?

viscid fossil
#

mmhh no

faint flare
#

There you go

#

Gotta save/confirm it

alpine shadow
#

you do get a warning if you close it when not saving

viscid fossil
#

No I saved it long time ago

#

I just came back from AFK and everything is gone

dire prawn
#

Two questions

#

What music does the Firebird mount play?

tribal apex
#

Are side quest good for some short levels? Need 4 more levels to get my dk to be msq ready

faint flare
#

No

warm snow
#

!faq questicons

zinc orbitBOT
#
What do all these quest icons mean?

msq - These are how you reach the endgame and every other bit of content is locked behind it to some extent. MANDATORY
bluequest - 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
sidequest - 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
repeatquest - These are quests you can do more than once, how often you can repeat it is up to the individual quest.

tribal apex
#

Ah

#

Sad days

cunning swift
#

do dungeon

ripe hound
#

Can you have duplicated names in a Datacenter?

warm snow
#

Yes

#

Just not on a world

ripe hound
#

Wait

warm snow
#

There's a band on light that all have the same name

ripe hound
#

Then it is possible to people with the same name to be in an instance?

warm snow
#

Yes

ripe hound
#

Oh my

faint flare
#

Yes

warm snow
#

I can't remember their names tho

elder pagoda
#

do you need to complete and progress through low level levequests to get higher lvl ones?

elder pagoda
#

well screw this lvl 15 one then

#

the guy wasn't even on the map location

warm snow
#

Levequests of a certain level are in a certain location

elder pagoda
#

okay cool, ty

warm snow
#

You just have to unlock levequests at that location

#

At least for arr

#

After arr all levequests in an expansion are accepted in one place

elder pagoda
#

ah yes that makes sense

warm snow
#

And there's no combat leves after hw

#

Because combat leves are garbage

i still haven't discovered how lucrative leves are or aren't

not totally clear on them vs dungeons

#

i seem to be awarded some sort of orb type item for completing them

warm snow
#

They're excellent for crafters and gatherers, terrible for combat jobs

#

You seem to have a lot of questions, I'd recommend looking up the "your first day" series by weskalber on youtube

elder pagoda
#

gotcha. i'd like to branch out into crafting and gathering but right now i'm a bit focused on getting to heavensward (on lvl 41 ARR missions)

That's my name

#

your first day? i'll give it a look, thanks

dire prawn
#

What's the music that the Firebird mount plays

#

Do you know

warm snow
#

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

jade quartz
#

It's the Final Fantasy Prelude, and also used as the login screen/character creation music.

dire prawn
#

Oh

#

What about Nidhogg's bird?

#

I imagine it doesn't play Dragonsong does it

gritty oracle
#

Revenge of the Horde maybe?

#

the phase 3 music

jade quartz
#

It plays the phase 2 music actually

dire prawn
#

From when he's cosplaying as Estinien?

#

Or after he shifts back into fiery Nidhogg

jade quartz
#

yep

elder pagoda
#

@warm snow this video series in fantastic, thanks

#

way better than the videos i found

boreal storm
#

Yep it's Freefall that plays

jade quartz
heavy mica
#

i dont know if this is the appropriate place to ask this, but does anybody know a good kagerou skin? i want to use ACT but not a big fan of it's look rn

dire prawn
#

Wait so

#

||Nidhogg|| has his own theme that plays and ||Dragonsong|| is just overlaid on the trial?

jade quartz
#

What?

unkempt oasis
#

is there any channel for in game help?

boreal storm
#

There's 3 themes for the ||Nidhogg|| fight

jade quartz
#

The three phases of Final Steps of Faith each have a different track.

#

Please try to avoid spoilers btw guys

dire prawn
#

Does that also apply to the || Minstrel's Ballad || trial?

jade quartz
#

Yes

dire prawn
#

Oh

warm snow
dire prawn
#

I've always just listened to || Dragonsong || while doing that trial, never noticed he had themes Thonk

My friend needs help his free trial character seems to be deleted?

this is when he treis to enter the game

He was playing through steam

#

Thank you Lyon

jade quartz
edgy sail
#

Best way to grind tomes of allegory?

jade quartz
#
  1. If he was using Steam to begin with he must stay with Steam, and if non-Steam he must stay with non-Steam.
vast mantle
#

Pretty sure he is using same account.

jade quartz
#

Ensure the right launcher is being used.

vast mantle
#

he has only steam launcher downloaded

#

and his char doesn't appear on list outside of game either

jade quartz
#

Is it the Steam free trial launcher and not the full game launcher?

vast mantle
#

let me ask

cursive terrace
#

is there a point to keeping the lower versions of the gatherer spells or should i just keep the newer ones?

vast mantle
cursive terrace
#

oh yeah

alpine shadow
#

was it downloaded trough

#

!faq freetrial

zinc orbitBOT
alpine shadow
#

?

jade quartz
#

it's Steam.

vast mantle
#

so?

alpine shadow
#

you can't play trough steam

jade quartz
#

It should be the free trial launcher downloaded from Steam.

alpine shadow
#

yeah, you can open the ffxivboot64.exe without going trough steam

vast mantle
#

he says he is using the free trial launcher

alpine shadow
#

trough steam or not?

vast mantle
#

It is

jade quartz
#

The free trial launcher downloaded from Steam?

vast mantle
#

Yes

#

he is using that

alpine shadow
#

he should NOT use the steam version

vast mantle
#

that is what he started on though

alpine shadow
#

yeah, but he probably registered the free trial someplace not-steam

#

tell him to open the game directly at C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\FINAL FANTASY XIV Online\boot\ffxivboot64.exe

vast mantle
#

no

#

you don't get it

#

he was able to pla

#

play

#

normally

#

from steam

#

as free trial

#

he had a lvl57 warrior

jade quartz
#

Wait hold up

vast mantle
#

he took a little break

#

and now he cant log in

alpine shadow
#

it worked before

#

but not now anymore

#

since the restriction was added in 5.2

jade quartz
#

He does not have a Steam free trial account.

FFXIV steam version notices
  1. Steam launcher integration update
  2. Steam and windows expansions are not interchangeable, buy the expansions for your base platform
  3. Use SteamEdit to remove -issteam argument to play with your windows subscription via steam
  4. You do not need to uninstall ffxiv if you have either the steam or windows version when you want to swap.
alpine shadow
#

as you can see the link above

jade quartz
#

So he did not register his free trial account through Steam, and therefore must use the non-Steam launcher or edit the launcher app with SteamEdit.

alpine shadow
#

no, only complete edition and/or base

jade quartz
#

Only the base game gives 30days sub time.

vast mantle
#

I dont know why it doesnt say steam now

#

I know

#

he used to play through steam

#

all this time

alpine shadow
#

you could play trough steam until 03/08/2019 on the non-steam account

i am the man btw hello

can i somewhere check my play time?

alpine shadow

/playtime

#

weird, but still, you aren't on the steam free trial

tepid sigil
#

how?

jade quartz
#

Your account was not created through Steam.

#

Mogstation doesn't lie.

tepid sigil
#

i created it on the launcher

#

how is it not

#

what

#

big confuse

alpine shadow
#

then you probably launched it not-trough-steam

heavy wadi
#

Because it says so on mogstation.

outer mural
#

regardless of the circumstance it is not a steam free trial

alpine shadow
#

or maby steam wasn't detected by the launcher when you created it

tepid sigil
alpine shadow
#

^^

jade quartz
#

Exactly

outer mural
#

we could argue on what did or what didn't happen but the bottom line is that it is not a steam free trial account

#

and yeah

heavy wadi
#

then there you go.

okay that does it

If you didn't download it off steam then you can't play it on steam.

outer mural
#

so did you or did you not download it off steam then

tepid sigil
#

but i did for a 100 hours

outer mural
#

wait no i'm contradicting myself

tepid sigil
#

i downloaded and created the acc on steam

outer mural
#

it doesn't matter what you did it's still not a steam free trial account

#

again, try to

instead of saying that i don't get it

#

and see if it works

Hey guys, i know damage meters are illegal.
So can anyone PM me letting me know how a client looks like and letting me know how to install it so i will never do it by mistake?

dire prawn
#

Damage meters are not inherently illegal

#

They're technically against ToS yes

#

But

alpine shadow
#

wait, also noticing you said "characters were deleted", that must mean it is the wrong account one is looking at

dire prawn
#

The only time you're actually going to get in trouble using one is if you use it as a basis to shit-talk people in-game

candid drift
#

I have a question. I want to be an AST and I was reading about classes etc. Is there a specific class I HAVE to start to become an AST, or can I just switch to it once I unlock it?

jade quartz

It's fine to talk about damage meters here

ACT/Parsing

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.

ACT/FFLogs Guide

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.

switch to unlock

dreamy fjord

i see

warm snow
outer mural
#

just need to get to ishgard in heavensward and beat ARR and post-ARR

warm snow
#

No specific class requirements

dire prawn
#

All expansion jobs just require you to have a class/job at their required level

#

You can be anything and switch to anything

candid drift
#

So once you beat that and unlock it, you don't have to do anything special to just switch to it?

dire prawn
#

Shush

warm snow
#

Since you need to actually get to hw

dire prawn
#

The only difference is reaching Ishgard :p

modest igloo
#

once you get the job you equip the weapon

#

boom

#

you are job

@warm snow do you know around how long that could take?

warm snow
#

About the length of a standard jrpg I'm afraid

#

Should probably play Conjurer/white mage to get used to healing in ff14

dire prawn
#

Conjurer is also recommended by the game developers for new players

candid drift
#

ah okay, yeah I was reading that. So just go white mage and eventually unlock it?

warm snow
#

Kinda

outer mural
#

astro plays a lot like conjurer / white mage until above 50 so skills should translate over very well

warm snow
#

You have to find the quest in ishgard to go unlock it

outer mural
#

astrologian is story locked so whatever class works

#

Also ast starts at 30 so you'll have to level it to 50 to continue the main story

outer mural
#

going white mage was just a suggestion if you want to learn healing prior to getting astro

#

which i do recommend

candid drift
#

Yeah I was gonna go white mage to try that out. I'll read up on specifically unlocking AST then, thanks!

dire prawn
#

AST only requires you to be Lv 50 on a combat class/job and reach the point where you can enter Ishgard (read: the first quest of Heavensward)

#

Also

#

All healers share gear

#

So you get even more benefit out of starting CNJ/WHM since you won't have any problems gearing your AST as you level it to where you can do HW MSQ

#

Only difference is, obviously, the AST weapon

tepid sigil
#

ok allow me to say, i am the dumbest person on earth because the normal nick i use everywhere was for a non steam acc and so i used a different nick for steam acc which my dumb brain forgot about

#

thanks anyway

brisk rapids
#

is there a site for addons?

alpine shadow
#

depends, for act or xivlauncher?

#

but they are all optionally installed with the ingame command

viscid fossil
#

Make sure you read TOS, plugin/act only use for personal purpose

#

if caught, it is bannable

alpine shadow
#

no

outer mural
#

yes

jade quartz
#

Yes

alpine shadow
#

you already got starter edition

jade quartz
#

Oh if that's the case then no.

outer mural
#

oh no you're right

#

my bad

jade quartz
#

You only get the 30days once, when registering the base game.

outer mural
#
