they said you don't need to in combat
No jobs can really take on multiple early
it's a thing other classes struggle with around that level range
Its faster to clear multiple mobs at once
lancer has no aoe capabilities at all early on
You don't hop in and fight tons of mobs alone as a tank when you don't have to
If you continue this I can only assume you are trolling and suspect you might be the same person Eanae banned earlier for this topic
Not if you're having to use physick
that is correct but that is not intended because overworld mobs ganging up on you will in fact just kill you
yeah like. why are you judging a class by its ability to do overworld stuff solo from level 10-20.
How do you turn off a glamour plate on a gear set?
You are demonstrating your ignorance of the topic.
u dont have to W2W pull either but its better to do so
right-click the gearset and unlink it
you're a DPS you're not supposed to pull them all
What the fuck are you even talking about?
the class has limitations that others don't, it's as simple as that
There's a big difference between w2w in a dungeon with a party, and soloing open world
You are incorrect.
you're wrong. factually.
you really do not need to pull multiple mobs to get your quests done in a timely manner
This is fact.
WHy is rarefied gyr abanian alumen not submissble to collectors but I can still waste my time farming it for nothing??
It's not linked, though
i am hopping out of this discussion because your ignornace of the class and stubbornness to take advice is not productive to this channel
same for rarefied Uranday Log
Either way though this really isn't the place to argue about this
I put ont he set then turned on the plate
you didn't get enough collectability
Too low collectibility
I got 600
you don't need to, but my vocabulary is saying you can't (without physick)
It is submittable, you didn't get enough collectability
what level are you?
79
that's why
yep
I don't have it linkedd to the gear set. I just put the set on and then I put the plate on
I was SO confsued !!
Dot stuff > fester it > 2 ruins after and it's dead
then you use the very last glamour plate option in the character menu to remove the glamour
the one after 15
you literally cannot fester multiple mobs though
One for each
Already said this isn't the channel to argue about it so kindly take it elsewhere
ok and then you're out of aetherflow stacks
Thank you

How much EXP does a FATE give compared to a dungeon? I’ve been trying to level DRK with SHB FATEs since I need to grind them anyways (for Rank 3), but it feels slow.
very low
Dungeons are much better
you do them while waiting for dungeons
especially as a drk
not as an alternative to dungeons
you should get instant queues as a tank.
mhm
that being said if you're doing the fates to do them that's fine
just don't expect them to be better than other sources for exp
I’m doing them primarily for Rank 3, so it’s no biggie. Tanking makes it easier. But RIP, thought I’d get something out of it. Guess I should just consider it “FATE grinding” without the EXP benefit.
Can I dm someone very knowledgeful about gearing in FFXIV? It's just a quick question
you can just ask it here
pretty much, but better than no exp for doing on a level 80, so
silver lining 
sure
Just changed my c drive and whenever I log in to ff14, which was on a seperate hard drive, it asks me to pick a data center and make a new character despite the fact that it accepted my login credentials in the lacunher. Do i need to competely reinstall the game?
are there conditions for the nightmare pony drop?
nope
hmmmmmm
just low drop chance
i see
which fight are you farming it on? best one to do is garuda
where do i buy the server transfer?
The drop rate is estimated by players at about 5%, much lower than the other ponies.
Mog Station > additional services
yeah the nightmare pony has never been buffed in drop rate
or at least has never been said to have been adjusted in patch notes
I recently helped someone farm it and it took about 25 runs to drop
oh yeah i'm helping someone get it and we're doing garuda
guess it'll just take some more tries than i expected
If I'm tank and queue during tank being role in need, but then when it procs — role in need changed, do I stll get the bonus?
i believe so
Yes
from personal experience
role in need locks in when you queue
Good, thanks
What is the best thing to do at the gold saucer to gain MGP? I am trying to get the turtle mount
!faq MGP
!faq mgpguide
there ya go! @spring dirge
ty
is there a positionals chart for mnk
balance should have one
is it in the mnk section on balance?
what is demimateria used for?
should be, if not ask around there
clear demimateria is vendor trash, all of the other demimaterias are crafting materials @autumn hedge
When u r almost done downloading the game with superslow download speed speed and the electricity dead for 10s 
That's not a question

bought server transfer, so I should not log in at all until I get a email confirming its done or something?
Do people still do the Alexander quests? I had a terrible time finding people for the coils of bahamut
yep
there's a normal mode for it
coils is only savage difficulty
so people PF it
Oh no I meant the normal Bahamut
binding coil of bahamut is essentially savage
Like after ARR is done. No one was queuing that one
correct
Oh
you do not que for coils
it was made before the proper split of normal mode and savage mode
If that's savage then what is UCoB lol
Ultimate
also coils aren't in any roulettes
What are the red quest?
if you grab a lvl 80 friend or put up a PF for first-time bonus people will help you clear the raid
its only for glam and story anyways
Yeah that's what I ended up doing
Quests you don't meet the requirements
But since we skipped the cutscenes I had to go to Youtube lol
Ok good
Oh... thanks it was bothering me for a while.
Where's my login spot? it's like it's not loading.
Does it matter which store region I pre-order end walker? I bought eu game key but I live in Aus. I'm not sure when pre order end walker on Aus store will work on my eu game account.
Server issues, just wait
Australia falls within the EU game region for Squares Enix‘s purposes
It’s “Europe and other regions”
thx
So keys you buy from Australian retailers should also be EU
Hello! Question! There used to be a ffxiv Quest Complete icon emoji. But now it's gone. Does anyone have that icon so that I may use it in another discord?
quest complete?
Yes except it was one with a checkmark, indicating the quest was complete.
Don’t remember us having that anytime recently
checked my vast array of emotes
do not see anything
i can crop something for you real quick koko sec
Gamer escape has the icons
Top right. Except it's not transparent
They're talking about the green check icon when you're going to finish a quest
Ah there it is
Thank you
A friend of mine has the physical edition of stormblood, if he redeems the code included will his trial account be upgraded to the full game?
he will not have shadowbringers
but provided it is a valid code he'll at least have stormblood i guess
He needs the base game too
Oh alright
Does it matter what job your retainer is?

Where should I get gear for my lvl? Im lv 53 but my ilvl is only 54, i think its all items from quests
how do i get gil
Have you finished 2.0?
Ironworks with poetics in mor Dhona or sundry splendors in main cities
how do i get gil?
is potd floors 51-60 considered the best for leveling?
Yes
thats the level most people que for
i dont know what type of things to sell
alright thanks
it depends what u can sell, do u do crafting, are u a matt farmer?
700k xp for a 12 minute run doesn't seem too great but I guess this is as good as it gets for a dps job
everyone has their own way of making gil
im nothing 😭
what level are u
u could probably farm extreme trials to try and get matts, some sell from 500k-1.7 mil
run zonureskin treasure maps in party finder
depending on what u choose to farm
ok thnx
I'm currently creating a character and my friend is on a currently full home world/server. Are we able to play together or can I ever switch?
Do I have to complete the HW relic weapon to get the replicas of the 2nd step etc?
how would I continue my job quests after lvl 50? I beat arr already
If i can, how do i get the replicas?
@fading aurora Like if we're both Aether on NA?
yes
thanks!
I dunno why but when I run ffxiv it doesn't show the thing where you put in your password
??
and i think data center travel is coming next expansion
Before endwalker
Yes
u mean the launcher?
pure white? yeah some people having the same issues now, try restarting
restarting my computer?
the launcher
I tried like 4 times
same issue
well if others having same issue I guess it's ok then
I think so, I just had to beat king moggle. Its been so long since i played
oh uh, then i'm not quite sure how to fix that
I got that earlier. I did a flushdns and waited a bit, it came back
on steam you mean?
Go farm Allagan Tomestones of poetics and get you some i130 Augmented Ironworks
Uhh, okay so where do I buy higher level gear with those totemstone things?
Rowena's Representatives at any of the three starter cities
They're located next to the Aetherytes and have a blue bag icon
Alright, tysm!
Ahh but they don't have the ones I want
what do u mean
not working.....
What level are you
80
someone is saying reset ie to original settings?
no clue then sorry
how do you this?
Eulmore
okok
There you go
do you have to do emanation extreme sync'ed for the tannk mount?
no
what about the alexander raid?
im not sure about alexander
wouldn't doing alexander unsync'ed be faster than emanation extreme or no?
Where abouts in Eulmore would I find it @faint flare
most people will have it listed in party finder as unsynced if its farmable
has to be 61+
i meant the other warrior tank mount
West ish of the aetheryte up the stairs
garuda ex is faster then
the one where you do 200 duties
anyone have any idea what ie would stand for?
Line of vendors
Try going into your command prompt, type "ipconfig /flushdns" without the quotes. Give it a minute on the login screen. It worked for me when it wouldn't show up earlier
I don't know why people give tech advice with unknown acronym,s
internet explorer
it says reset ie to original settings
I'm pretty sure I deleted ie
lol
anyone have any idea what's going on here? i've restarted and shut down my PC already and tried it then, but my client still won't load in the login text fields
^^
same for me
Hmm I can't seem to buy anything from anyone in Eulmore
lol everyone is having that issue now
I also just restarted my PC to fix that
did it work?
i sens a update today it seems
It will show up
weird
Yeah, I can't buy anything from anyone in Eulmore, do I need to finish the story or do a quest line?
can u guys try fidning the launcher.exe in your games folder see if that one launches\
Finish 5.0 yes
finding*
@obsidian rosedid it fix it by restarting?
no
Is there a way to trigger skirmishes/CE in specific zones faster?
hmmm must be some update thing
killing magitek units in that zone will make them spawn faster
Spawn flat out
Is there a list of all Desynthesisable Furnitures?
ok i think the launcher is having problems
what ever u do dont log off
mine is blank 2
So all the magitek, no beasts and such
@leaden ginkgo@leaden ginkgo i found out how to get it to show up
just wait 40 seconds
it will load in
ive nver seen this before
yeah it eventually loaded. just weird, taking so long
must be a bug with the launcher
any ideas why is this happening? tried rring my pc and the launcher
it just takes years for it so show login button
everyone is ahving this problem
The launcher is struggling right now
then it dosnt shows the play
Like
u have to wait 40 seconds
Everyone has that problem
im gonna type this out and copy paste it lol
ooh i see, i thought it was only me , thanks!
there seems to be a launcher bug ,if your launcher is blank and not loading the login menu u must wait 30-40 seconds, it seems everyone is havingthis porblem.
then it has to do with SE's servers then

lyo nsaid earlier this is a consistent server issue
i had the same problem and so have like 5 others in the last 5 mins so maybe
just need to keep retrying
hmm i just managed to log in but even the loading screens are longer
It happened to me earlier too, it's likely just a web issue
its there but it loads super slow
i had to wait 30 secs for login to appear then another 30 for play button to appear, the rest was normal
it's prob because the game is getting so many new players because wow is trash now
That's exactly what it is
eh tbh i'm kind of tired of that "wow trash, lets all go to ff14" i also played many mmorpgs and prefer ff14 over any other mmorpg but most of the players feel ( at least for me) like they are joining the hype train
i started to read srpout comments in novice chat about history beign "shitty"
Does the xp boost from the earring you get on endwalker preorder last forever or just until endwalker arrives? thanks in advance
Forever
Well
Until 80
But yes forever
oh perfect so I can use it to level all my classes even after endwalker comes along? Sweet
Honestly idc how WoW is doing, I'm thrilled to see more new players trying the game out

this! 😄
so I've been trying to do the materia melding quest, but everytime I try to meld something it says I'm too low level
is this because my materia is too high level or the gear?
do I really have to buy level 1 gear to do the quest?
Yes, materia has a minimum ilvl the gear needs to be
Is there like a public crystal bell ?
No
Crystal bell?
Due to how it works
@dire prawn Just 1 more question, there's no way to know what the collector's editions rewards will be right?
its where u can change hair color and style
They're kniwn
Oh the aesthetician
They showed them during the ll
why is this so complicated
Oh I can explain that
You're trying to self meld
hey vin any idea what the dmg loss is if u dont do any positionals on mnk?
You need to level a crafter up to thst level
The self melding requires your crafting jobs be the right level
Alot, it adds up fast
Go to a materia melder NPC
Use materia melder npcs
They will do it for you
They showed the collectors items
Ohhh, thank you so much! That mount looks so cool
if I'm farming for White Scrips at fresh level 80 which is better, farming Unspoiled or Ephemeral nodes? I'm confsued what the difference is
Ephemerals are for aether sands
Not scrips
Unspoiled gives you collectibles for scrips
people who use cross hotbar with ps controller. Do you use Hold Toggle or Mixed for the hotbar
Hold
Hold
Hold too
can you do the same gold saucer fate multiple times in 1 day?
Yes
guys, why my FC option is greyed, even i alrady bought the game?
Oh someone has to invite you in to access that menu
Tonberry
Soooooo my game's bugging out, am I gonna have to reinstall or is there a verify game files thingy that I'm missing? Cause Steam's one is only checking the Launcher
I found out why my inventory isn't saving. OneDrive is the cause of the problem.
@sturdy hemlock i think you need to uninstall and reinstall
might also be a graphic mod messing stuff up if you have those
😦
make sure to back up character and system settings first
so you can keep your UI and hotbar and other things
Okay I have a silly question, do I get to go in critical engagements at any point or only if I trigger the conditions myself?
You can join any CE that you can access the zone for
But if more than the allowed number of people sign up, there's a lottery for who gets in, unless they have the marching order buff
I'm primarily asking for that particular trio of quests
Oh the one that costs clusters?

Yeah I'll just cluster farm and wait for them to pop in that case
You can do A4, O3 or E3 for those, it's faster
Mettle would be nice though
Are there any beast tribes that give respectable XP from 60 to 61 for battle classes?
The zundu and nath are the battle beast tribes
The quests scale to your level
I mean the vanu vanu and vath
Kojin and ananta for those levels
can i play samurai on viera?
You can play everything on everything
This isn't WoW where certain races can only be certain classes
well idk i bought samurai boost and i dont get it to my moogle
You bought a waste of money
Also you need to wait a bit
It's not an instant deliver
Is there a graphic explaining how to do Diabolic Gate in Dalriada cos I've run it 5 times and I die to that mechanic every time. I just can't do it
my friend got it in few mins
The attack goes into one door then out the one of the same typr
why
Like I said, not instant
Because SAM starts at 50
You can level it up to 70 in less than two days
Training and or feeding someone else's chocobo does absolutely what for me? Nothing huh?? Dats wassup lil
Lol*
If you do your daily leveling, can you do it again while as a different class or nah?
If you're talking about the daily roulette no. Bonus only given once a day
@radiant cairn technically nothing. But if you're at an estate where you can feed or train other chocobos, its either a friend where you're the owner or tenant. Or an FC. A little help to others is a nice gesture I guess2
When leveling a class, should you buy that particular class's ideal food or will anything do?
guys, is this fix ? im lvl 40 now, im thinking if theres a little more higher lvl for me
ahhhh
@versed geyser any food works fine if you just want the exp bonus
How much faster are dungeons compared to PoTD/HoH for leveling?
I'd say fairly even early on, the highest dungeon is always consistent
Although if you're a dps you'll be waiting a lot more in queues for the dungeons
You're not exactly gaining tons of exp in the mid-50s from potd
potd is the alternative for DPS, otherwise dungeon it up
Okay, I'm trying to do the BLM lvl65 quest "When the Golems get tough" but this thing is destroying me. It's doing too much damage too fast. I've upgraded my gear lvl to 235 and tried again, but it kills me so fast. Even though its lvl65 am I supposed to do this later?
yes lol
I remember that quest, I believe you need to listen to what the NPCs are saying
I remember it too lmao, I fucking hate solo instance class quests
That quest was brutal
They didn't say anything. They just sit there. xD
Is there another deep dungeon after HOH?
Yeah, exactly why I fucking despise class quests, and you are basically guaranteed a wipe if you don't do it right
iirc the golem hit like a truck but was also really slow?
or susceptible to be slowed
To be fair, BLM class quests actually suck
I've tried starting the fight with a lightning dot and then immediately doing enocian and my ley lines, and I get maybe an inch or two before he's dead but I can't heal so he squishes me like a bug. lol
Yeah someone had said bozja was good for leveling 70-80 or something
Esp the lower level ones
no he's really fast
71-80. Yes if you wanna level fast
Bozja is pretty nice for levelling, I got my RDM to 80 through it
Bozja takes about 10 hours to level you from 71 to 80 with no earing
Idk about Zadnor though
same thing
with zadnor you can farm mettle for more DPS buffs
Zadnor is still bozja
wait, ilvl 235?
thus can still level
It's split into the Southern Front and Zadnor
You should be quite a bit higher than that in the 60s. The poetics gear for level 60 is ilvl 270
Thus serve the same function
Due to its nature I wouldn't recommend touching Zadnor for levelling till higher rank, so you have access to all the areas
The southern front is marginally easier to do so for it
Item lvl
So you're ilvl235
In a lv65 quest?
I'm sorry but that's WAY too low
Oh hell no
You should be around ilvl270+
Take yourself back into your roulettes and go farm poetics
Get you some of that Augmented Shire
How is that possible? lol I've been doing every story quest and only just got to 235
Do I need to do dungeons to get new gear?
Or at the rep in Ishgard
All the early SB msq reward gears are like ilvl 255 or 265
Idyllshire, alright. I'll go there now, thanks guys! I used poetics to get gear before at Rising Stones and it was too weak, so I thought that was it. lol guess not.
Theres a set if poetics gear for every expac
The one at mor dhona is for ARR which is only ilvl 130
Shire for HW is 270
Scaevan for SB 400
ahaha thanks for giving the info for the rest of the expansions, i definitely would have returned to ask about it xD
👍
!faq poetics
I'm not too sure whats for ShB, I believe it uses the current latest set of tomes which should be weekly capped
ShB is i520 Cryptlurker's which is bought with Revelations tomestones in Eulmore
It'll turn into poetics when Endwalker releases
And will probably already come augmented
is there a job quest to finish to unlock scrips? the npc's don't want to talk to me
!faq scripunlock
Unlocking scrips (Foundation x10, y10.)
Unlocking Idyllshire's House of Splendors (Mor Dhona 22, y6)
Unlocking Rhalgr's Reach House of Splendors (Rhalgr's Reach x10, y12)
Unlocking Eulmore's House of Splendors (Eulmore at x11, y10, on the top floor)
Hey guys, im new right now im leveling a monk, but my main goal is to be a samurai, when i choose the job of the samurai i need to start that job level 1?
or how that works
!faq sbjob
Samurai starts at 50.
!faq sbjobs
Stormblood Expansion Jobs: Red Mage (Caster DPS) and Samurai (Melee DPS). These jobs start at level 50 and require ownership of the Stormblood Expansion and a disciple of war or magic job at level 50.
Job Unlock Locations:
Red Mage - Distraught Lass at Ul'dah - Steps of Thal (14,12), quest name is "Taking the Red".
Samurai - Ul'dahn Citizen at Ul'dah - Steps of Nald (9,9), quest name is "The Way of the Samurai".
i did that today too dw about it
thats cool
Is this the place to ask for help with mount farming?
Ah i see. Ty very much
I mean, that can happen with any game. Did you have a question related to that, or?
Oh, you were having DX11 issues earlier, I see.
Hmm. Yeah, I know there have been people who have had major issues with the same Dx11 error you were getting.
I want to say the fix was reverting to an earlier NVIDIA driver?
Is this special or just high rank?
No
They’d break it in half
I've seen BLUs solo 70 trials
Does anyone know which one is the best level 50 dungeon to level up my healer?
maybe a level 50
But 4 BLUs in a deep dungeon
I've seen a video of someone soloing Suzaku
None of them
Level cap dungeons give shit for exp
If you need to get past 50 do Aurum Vale
basically a super mob. impossible solo unless you lost death cheese
Or your roulettes
Dang, ty
you need a party to kill it
Ah, so I can leave it be
god i wish
or eureka
i understand the no ultimate thing
Hey guys what if we just Diamondbacked through half of the mechanics, wouldn’t that be hilarious
Do you get any penalty if you get into a roulette and then your wifi decides to kill itself before you've even loaded in
Probably yes
What are some good like, crafting skills to pick up
!faq craftinghelp
Name of item
What item are you trying to make?
Your Stats
Your Craftmanship, Control, CP and also your level. Before food/potion buffs makes it much easier to help.
Current Rotation
Ideally a teamcraft link/sim page/macro to your rotation so we can take a look at it and also try to help find the problem/resolve any issues.
as a whole crafting requires a number of different mats
Yeah, I guessed as much
so you'd need multiple crafters to craft high level stuff
For anima weapon, the 3 dungeons we must clear before light farming. Am I correct to say I can run the dungeons with a different job as long as the anima is on my armoury chest?
so we recommend waiting for 3.3 MSQ to start crafting, as beating it unlocks a pwerleveling area
i believe so
yeah I'd say finish MSQ before looking into crafting
since you can craft while in que for stuff
Yeah, I'm going to look into it now
I'd recommend Wesk Alber on youtube he does a good crafting tutorial
( i now realize i should have started with that)
Blacksmiths make their own weapon, not All their own materials mind you, Weaver makes everyone's main clothing but not All of their clothing either.
When do squadron training sessions reset?
12 hours, 56 minutes, 37 seconds
17 hours, 56 minutes, 37 seconds

Color/dye
@astral sail the item is dyeable
ahh
Not only that, but the color of the dye they have applied afaik.
Yep you're right
do you get xp from running delubrum and is it worth it
No
you can only run delubrum at level 80
You can get mettle tho
@quick sage every role should be ok.
I read tanking might be challenging because the healer ai for you is quite bad
Never tried myself
Should be fine I guess
DPS
Since there's no queue time
I only ever did command mission to get the promotion and to unlock the emotes
When crafting can I do multiple at once?
Because I can't seem to find something that allows me to create multiple
Oh dumb question, just got it!
do note that quick synthesis, which I assume you just found out, is bad for experience.
the bulk of experience earned when crafting an item comes from raising the quality bar, which quicksynth doesn't.
If I specify an average ilevel while making a PF, does that mean whoever is lower than that can’t join?
When logging back into ffxiv when you have to put in your registration code but get
"The entered code has already been registered"
Is there a way around this or should I call tech support?
yes
where did you get the code from?
It's my product code I got when I bright the game. "Online starter edition"
I have the Stormbringer's code but it's the same results
try entering your product code on the mogstation instead of the launcher
Ok
I would love to understand what this is.
Ca anyone explain please?
It’s a bozja thing
How do I increase my chances at getting HQ resources when harvesting?
Higher perception stat &/or using the HQ up skills
to get said item
Btw, is there somethnig that explains how sync works on items? Like, is it a top stat thing or how do they scale down your stuff?
Say, you have a full materia level 80 thing and a level 60 thing and you go to a level 20 dungeon, would they be the same?
As in it would be the same to entery sync with 0 materia or as in takes all melds 100%, your gear can be op-ish?
as in 0 materia
Makes sense but Awwww
My understanding is that item level sync ignores materia then reduces each stat to the maximum for that level's gear per piece
Which is why things like relic weapons are extremely strong for sync content, because you can choose 3 sub stats instead of two
yep
Ooooh, i didn't know relics were that special. Nice.
The exception here is bozja, which just has a preset value that every slot is set to
As long as something is equipped
apparently rathalos normal is the same as rathalos ex, but the difference is party size, is that true
no, EX has more HP, more damage, and 2nd phase is a bit different
also in EX you "fail" the duty once 3 people die
alr
which puts it back to the start
is it something i can go blind into once i do normal or do i have to study mechanics like other extreme trials
IMO yes.
the main difference is in the 2nd phase the split marker happens multiple times in a row and drops a fire puddle that sticks around for a bit
yes as in yes to blind or no
yes to do blind
alr thanks
the split marker?
the one with arrows pointing inwards on the person/thing it's attached to
it does a large amount of damage split between everyone in it.
also called damage split or damage share
I'm just gonna keep calling it the stack marker.
I reached lvl50 on one of my crafters and I'm kinda lost on what to do now. Is there like a tomestone version for crafter gears?
Scrip sets, but that's a mess all on its own.
oh god
I mean its not bad...
jsut be ready to sink a couple-hundred gil per set.
I say, using the Handsaint set as reference.
for 50 its just easier to push for 51 and use the archaeoskin set
what you can get at 50 is kind of meh to begin with
there's the artisan set at 50 if you really need it, it's from the grand company
at 60, same deal though you can get the yellow scrip accessories at the very least. reason why 60 scrip gear isn't really recommended is because its not universal gear
...but i think that set needs 2nd lieutenant to buy
is gubal library the best poetics run pre 60?
the best way to level alts is roulette?
gubal library doesnt give poetics
for pre-60 your best bet is probably Syrcus tower and world of darkness
oooooh its research facility
hihi
if ARF has a good queue then it's pretty great
just make sure to keep queue times in mind when deciding what to spam
im down to help crafting if anyone needs it on cerberus
does shadowbringers include the main game or do i have to buy the full version and then shadowbringers?
you need the starter edition
Complete edition has everything rn sans Endwalker for obvious reasons
but when endwalker comes out will complete edition include that?
Probably

when queue time says 7 mins and you're already at 12 -.-
Play a tank. Least amount of wait time.
I think you mean healer
Can I play with friends if they’re on the same data center but not same world?
Never been a light party time with a queue onger than 1 sec
yes
can make use of world visit to be on the same server as them
but either way can make a cross world party (provided you/they are on the full game or you find someone to make a party for you)
Ah ok
I havent played since Realm Reborn. Is the white mage dps rotation still Aero then Stone spam? Ive been completely lost trying to come back, lol.
basically, yes.
anybody else find it weird that a set of scions simultaneously exist in vesper bay and the revenants toll
its like two sets of them
there's also an oGCD that's both an AoE heal and AoE damage ability
@leaden ginkgo weird time bubble due to sidequests that use them
yeah theres two sets of them rn for the msq
Also on the subject of WHM dps moves, at 74 you get a massive aoe damage nuke that you can use after using specific healing spells
!action afflatus misery
!action afflatus solace
!action afflatus rapture
These basically act as free+instant cast Cure 2/Medica 1 that you build up over 30 seconds while in combat and can hold 3 charges of.
ok, ty. Im only 53 as of now trying to level with the story.
but yeah, Afflatus Misery is one of the hardest hitting moves in the game tied with some of the really beefy moves from DPS
I've been doing the great hunt extreme and I'm not getting rathalos scale+ drops do they not drop anymore?
you need to interact with the rathalos
yeah I'm only getting the 4 normal scales
head drops the normal mode scales, tail drops the extreme scales
2 interaction spots
hmmmm do you have to like damage his tail or something? Haven't noticed the sparkleys
pretty sure not.
Why would the Azys Lla be only one of three places that you can by the default level 60 fishing rod from? 
Oh, I guess technically that place at the beginning of the area with the nodes counts as a settlement.
it's where all the level 60 vendor gear is since that's the last zone in the HW story
is the first step to unlocking master recipes farming the demateria stuff from desynthesis
is there any other way to do it
you need to do the quest in mor dhona "Just Tooling Around"
after that, for 1/2 you need to exchange an item to talan in mor dhona
the rest are bought with yellow scrips
those unlock extra recipes, namely items for glamour
nah, its pretty easy
master 1 and 2 can be a little annoying if you're trying to do them at 50
but if you're lvl 80, they're extremely easy
master 1 wants tradable items so you can just buy the needed items
same for demimateria
is there a "fastest" way to level a second job?
!faq altlvlguide
for 71-80 it's basically the same thing, but with the pixie beast tribe, Bozjan content instead of palace of the dead/heaven on high, and trusts if dungeon queues are slow.
I will check that out, thank you!
Fieldcraft demateria III is suppoesd to be in the scrip exchange but it's not
what am I missing?
do I have to unlock master I before I get access?
maybe? I'm not sure on the unlock requirement
but it shows them in the level 50 section for garland tools
it's so convoluted honestly to get master tomes started lol
i'll check again
after doing level 1
yo what do i do while waiting on duty finder? im done hunting log and cant do msq
can level up other classes like a gathering class
well im trying to level my rogue
Getting the master tomes really isn't that convoluted
the quest i mentioned is the initial quest required to unlock them.
1/2 its simply trading items to talan (master 2 item is in master 1, and master 1 you have automatically.) everything else just requires you to use yellow scrips, and have their appropriate house of splendors unlocked
fieldcraft demimateria III can be gotten thru desynthesis or you could just buy it off the marketboard. That said you also don't necessarily need 2 unless you want to be able to craft the glam items in them
master 2 item requires some sort of demateria taht I didn't see in the shop so i'm confused
its most likely tied to a later house of splendor unlock
you may as well just leave master 2 to later
if I'm locked behind master 2 I can't get master 3 and up right?
are revelation tomes affected by weekly cap if u farm them from potd?
oh
the only one that requires previous master is 2, because 1 has the item required to trade for it
You get the menphina earrings from pre ordering the end walkers expansion right?
yes
I'm looking at my SE/Mog Station account and where it highlights the what expansions you have with the 'o' and its not there for the endwalkers collector edition, is that normal?

the collector's edition won't be tagged until you enter the full game code
Since I had to start over with a whole new character, and really don't feel like going though the whole ass story again just to get to my dark knight, would using a story skip be a good idea?
I know it'd still have to get another job to level 50 or so to still even DO the DK quest, which is another problem...
? Would I have gotten that in an email after I purchased it from the Sony store?
If I had to make a weird suggestion, I'd say to not skip the ARR story until you hit level 50, since it's a giant source of experience.
That's kind of what I was thinking, since if I skip now I really wouldn't have a proper way to get XP.
yep, the game expects your first/main to do the story for the big experience, with the followups relying on the armoury exp boost from the main class being a higher level
Yeah, gonna be a bit of a grind then just to get back to my main, lol.
another PS question: I just bought the starter edition on the SE store, but I also want to play on my PS5. It says I need a PS license when I go to log in on PS after making my purchase on the PS store. What do I do?
wait, nevermind, I'm good. The solution was to load another game, then reload FF and it's all good
Fun fact: If you do this, your 30 days free playtime is added together, so you get 60 days free
True facts
(although you can only do it once for each platform, so don't go trying to buy the game on PS again)
im running into a issue and idk what is causing it

What issue?
ill screen shot it but at first it said unexpected issue with ffxiv now closing
Is it faster to level through dungeons or side quests/leves at around lvl 35-50 for an alt?
Dungeons, side quests don't really give that great of exp @light lion
@wet grotto
Just open the launcher again and again until the files finish downloading
It might be a network issue, what are your DNS servers?
How do I use orchestrion rolls?
lemme check
use them from your inventory, then select them from the orchestrion machine in any inn room
or house
wait how would i check cause dns means domain system name right?
Ah, inns
Yes
If you’re on windows, it’s in your network and sharing settings
I double clicked on it, nothing
Right click, like using a mount whistle
no right click, use?
this, just like mounts and minions
I had to add it to my skill bar to use it lol
There's no right-click to use for some odd reason
Odd
huh
That’s a faded orchestrian roll
Nono, that's not the roll
faded you need to craft into a whole one
icic
but the first one you showed us should have worked fine
You need an alchemist to make a useable one
Assumed they were the same
no worries, it happens
im in there but i dont see anything that says DNS
a follow up, why is my level still capped at 60? I have a no symbol on my exp bar
My purchase has taken, it showed my playtime on login, and I just set up my retainers
.... is it bc of the starter edition
Yes, you need to purchase Stormblood and Shadowbringers to cap at lvl 70 and 80 respectively
How many flame seals do I need for my first chocobo?
200, the msq after you join a grand company gives you the seals needed to buy the issuance
its set to that by default
You should try manually changing it to “8.8.8.8” and launch the game again and see if that fixes anything
Is it possible to solo the pony fights as an 80 AST do you think?
Oh I’m fine with that! Just wasn’t sure if it would even be possible haha. Thank you!
80 AST will have no problems other than avoiding instant death on Titan and Levi
now we wait
Hopefully it all works out!
fr
so I just got my own chamber in our fc and I never edited or done house stuff before is there any resources on how do all the stuff or like an external editor to plan things
If you don't want to learn glitches to float stuff, it's basically just place stuff in good looking positions
You only really need "tricks" if you want a unique aesthetic and are prepared to use 35 pieces of furniture for a modern looking wall
if you're upgrading to shadowbringers from free trial, do they have to buy starter and shadowbiringers both? (obv complete edition could be exchanged for this combo)
If someone gifts you an expansion or the base game, then charges back
Are you fucked?
Because I know they ban for chargebacks normally
ok so a playstation question then, if I buy starter edition digitally and then disc version shadowbringers ... would they still make me put disc in to play everytime?
Hopefully that didn't happen to you?
That's one way people grief
How do I set it so that cutscenes I have already seen are skipped automatically?
where do you exchange your 25 mil mettle for buffs in zadnor?
@void cargotalk to one of the NPCs right by where you zone into Zadnor
if you haven't already, you need to have beaten the Dalriada for the first time and complete the bozja story
So I think I've milked as much out of the free trial as I want, I bought the complete edition on PC during the sale a couple weeks ago, but I want to make sure I activate this correctly, advice?
put it in mog station
click the big button on the mogstation that says something like "Transfer to Full Service"
aren't I supposed to pair up with another player or something for some bonuses?
after you register the game.

!faq raf
first link goes through how to do it once you register the game
wait I'm not recruiting a friend, I want to be the person being recruited
you pick someones code from the 2nd link and follow the instructions on the first link
how do i hire a 4th retainer
i can't find the option in mogstation
what's the stats priority for AST?
piety to comfort > crit > sps to a tier > det/dh
increase the amount of retainers you have by one.
so if you have one extra retainer chosen, change it to two extra retainers.
it's the retainer service button
where can I discuss my reaction to the end of ARR?
do i select two additional retainers? @obsidian patio
yes
as long as the journal entry for the quest doesn't specify that doing it undersized doesn't count, then you can do it undersized for story credit.
but if you mean the story instances, then no

its ok buddy
I can switch between first name and last name
but it doesnt get rid of my text for the first name
like am i the only one who am confused about how to use this
just delete it and retype?
ok maybe im just stupid
put in the first name or last name and search
OR
yes
or can i do both
no
whaa
I didn't see any explanation of what this patch tomorrow night is gonna be?
given previous patches, probably going to be unlocking things
it could be anything either nerfs/buffs unlockable things etc
at minimum i would expect unlocks and nothing more
anything additional would be a pleasant surprise
I thought ||beating ultima weapon and seeing the credits|| is supposed to be the end of ARR, how much more is there until I reach Heavensward?
that is correct but there is a transitional storyline between ARR and heavensward
i'm sure you've heard it, it's post-ARR
it will take a looong while as there are many quests
i would pace yourself, the story there also builds up very much so
given both 4.57 and 3.56 were savage unlocks, i think its fairly safe to say that 5.57 will be as well
I feel like i am expected to have memorized who all the syndicate members are
not really
Went into that cutscene like "who are you people?"
no it's a cold open
you're just not really supposed to know any besides that they're the syndicate
at that point in time, realistically, there's only one member you should know tho one or two of the others would be known you do depending on what side quests you've done
Raubahn is literally the only person you absolutely should know
and the Sultana kinda
sultana isn't part of the syndicate
I know Raunahn and the queen who's name I haven't memorized yet
ah right i was just including her because she should be in there with them
Nanamo ul Namo
Also kinda weird when I'm playing as Au Ra
either way tho, you not knowing the others is expected
any way to regain dropped exp gear, like the brand new ring?
just rerun the last hall of novice exercise
with the same or a new job?
