[modest igloo]

mount farming is also something to do at lvl cap

[trail elk]

i also saw exclusive mounts from those tails journal bingo thing

[modest igloo]

since it's RNG to get them

[modest igloo]

2000 hours still not lucky enough to get them

[boreal storm]

Ixion can be got from its FATE

Not sure about other guy

[trail elk]

what

[open coral]

What mounts are on the WT?

[trail elk]

dont u just need like

1 gold certificate

to get them

[boreal storm]

Ixion and asteropes

[open coral]

Ixion you need to do the Ixion special FATE twice for with gold rating.

[boreal storm]

I think that’s the other one’s name

[modest igloo]

you have to get 3 lines of bingo, from 9 spaces filled

so you have to be lucky

since its ALSO rng

[trail elk]

you get this mount

it looks so cool

[open coral]

Isn't Astrope the Mentor Roulette achievement reward?

[fresh lodge]

Yes

[modest igloo]

2000 ques iirc

[open coral]

They wouldn't put an achievement rewards on WT, would they?

[trail elk]

how do u do mentor roulette

[boreal storm]

Incitatus that’s it

[modest igloo]

step 1: beat MSQ

step 2: get a healer tank and DPS to 80

step 3: 1500 commendations

[boreal storm]

It’s Incitatus that you get with gold certificates

[trail elk]

i only have 102 commendations rn

rip

[fresh lodge]

Have a Healer, Tank, and DPS at 80, have 1500 commendations, and clear 400? Duties

[open coral]

Yeah, that one you can only get from Faux Hollows or WT

[trail elk]

who actually farms commendations though

like seriously

[open ember]

Its 1000 instanced duties

For mentor

[fresh lodge]

People that want Mentor roulette

[open ember]

2000 for the mount

[fresh lodge]

You also get rewards for having a certain amount of comms

[open coral]

In theory you can get the 1500 comms naturally while playing the game over time.

[trail elk]

what about all the seasonal pvp mounts

[open coral]

If you're competent, have a nice glam, have an interesting name, or are just the only person in an instance who isn't a dick.

[open ember]

500 comms gives you a gold magitek

[trail elk]

those are all gone

[slim mango]

do ShB unspoiled nodes generally have more than SB nodes? For Yellow Scrip farming

[trail elk]

no one can get em now

[boreal storm]

Gone reduced to atoms

[open coral]

They may show up on a moogle event at some point in the future. Possibly.

But unlikely.

[fresh lodge]

Yes

The latest nodes always are worth more

[slim mango]

well they are worth scame scrips AFAIK, up to 30ish for 1000 quality

so I just was looking at like the total number of each node gathering attemps

eh either way t'll be easy to get 1000 quality

[leaden ginkgo]

wanted to know from your opinion ||the one looking it this msg||
i just bough 510 gear for my healer since my main is healing job and then i stopped here
i didn't farm anymore futher and im just focusing on leveling all my other jobs
is this a good way or i have to focus on gearing my main
although i dont play endgame content such as trials dungeons +80 etc

[shut panther]

if you don't do endgame trials/savage 510 is more than enough

[open ember]

510 will let you do every single duty

Including diamond weapon ex

[leaden ginkgo]

so i can just focus leveling my alts jobs

[pulsar escarp]

you can easily push it up to 520 if you have crystarium tomes

[shut panther]

correct

[pulsar escarp]

but yeah you don't need to

[leaden ginkgo]

Thank you beautiful people

[dreamy fjord]

welp

[faint flare]

Legacy of Allag In mor Dhona

[dreamy fjord]

finished it

[faint flare]

The whole chain

[open ember]

Did you actually do the crystal tower raids

[heavy wadi]

you need to do all of the raids

[faint flare]

Not just that quest

[crystal bluff]

You did all three raids?

[open ember]

You have to do the whole 3 raids

[faint flare]

You need to go to A light of Hope

[dreamy fjord]

raids? i did quests until the NPC had nothing else to give me

[faint flare]

He dif

[open ember]

They're probably in your duty finder

[faint flare]

Sanding it down

[trail elk]

do we have any garlemald armor in the game that we can wear

similar to the ones worn by gaius and nero

[heavy wadi]

no

not to them

the armor of the garlean legatuses are unique to them

[dreamy fjord]

?

note i don't have a quest in my questlog now

[faint flare]

You haven't done tjem

[open ember]

That's not the right tab

[heavy wadi]

You haven't done sanding it down yet.

[faint flare]

Rammabros had another quests

[heavy wadi]

he has no raids so

hasn't unlocked them

[open ember]

They're alliance raids so you don't even have them unlocked

Yep

[trail elk]

cid's body is so out of proportion

his forearms are the size of his head

[wanton lintel]

How can I get level 500 stuff on marketplace for my bard for chokers,bracelets and rings? Can’t see any https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Exarchic_Armor

I bought the rest

[gloomy mortar]

Seasonal Miscellany Archon Egg. What is/was this used for?

[halcyon tulip]

Easter event currency probably

[shut panther]

there's exarchic accessories

[wanton lintel]

Is there?

[trail elk]

whats the mask accesorrie that has a tanto in it's mouth

[shut panther]

https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Exarchic_Accessories

[dreamy fjord]

so this one

[open ember]

Yep

[barren turtle]

When will we be able to trade in nier coins for tome weapon upgrades?

[open ember]

5.58

Maybe

If you're talking about the ester

[shut panther]

.58 is the final pre-endwalker patch so it'd have to be that, no?

[barren turtle]

I think they mentioned a .59 patch at some point as well?

but afair .58 was the DC travel patch

[wanton lintel]

Why can’t I meld level 7 materia either?

[open ember]

There will probably be more than DC travel

[barren turtle]

on what?

[open ember]

I will assume next 2 months they will add ester to coins

Or less

[cursive plank]

So after I'm done with the trial what product should I buy ?

[open ember]

Complete edition

If you want everything

But keep in mind you'll have to start paying sub after free 30 days are over

[cursive plank]

Kk so it'll have shadowbringer and all previous expansions ?

[open ember]

Yes

[cursive plank]

And then I'll just buy the new expansion when it comes out

[open ember]

Yep

[cursive plank]

Awesome thank you

[wanton lintel]

On anything

[clever ether]

How hard are ARR dungeons (extreme)?

[open ember]

What about them

They're not that hard

I don't recommend doing them synced

[clever ether]

Synced?

[remote lintel]

synced means on-level

as opposed to unsync where you can just bring in a lvl 80 and obliterate it

[clever ether]

Ah so for the quest I can do it un-synced?

[remote lintel]

you would need a lvl 80 to help you

[barren turtle]

specify? like you can meld lvl 7 materia on stuff

[drowsy maple]

w

what buttom do I clikc to chek my currenzy godl and so on? ^^

[boreal storm]

[barren turtle]

or click the gil button

[drowsy maple]

[vagrant apex]

Is there a way to recap the "story so far"?
I'd rather not delete my character and make a new one, but given how story-heavy the game is I wonder how much I'd be missing out by just jumping in where I left off in 2014?
Idk if there's a way to spoiler-tag where I was in the story, but a friend said I'm probably around the mid-20s based on what very little I remember

[remote lintel]

how far are you

[dreamy fjord]

now should i do this

[remote lintel]

do you know what level your character is?

[remote lintel]

yes

[open ember]

Yea

[vagrant apex]

I remember that I joined a grand company and I remember fighting Ifrit in the story

[remote lintel]

do that entire quest line

@vagrant apex thats very early

you can easily start over

[fresh gate]

You’re very early

[modest igloo]

You can start anew and skim

Takes like 3 hours tops

[remote lintel]

dont need to skim

[vagrant apex]

Is my character likely to have anything that I'd be losing by deleting him? Would prefer to pay the lower sub fee

[fresh gate]

It’s tied to your service account

[vagrant apex]

Not sure if there's anything "legacy" he'd have in his inventory

[dreamy fjord]

Guys, do i have to do this in order to continue with the MSQ? sorry if you did answer i don't know who's talking with who

[modest igloo]

Maybe some old glam prisms

[barren turtle]

yes

[modest igloo]

Yes

[remote lintel]

@vagrant apex you can log in and check after you sub

[fresh gate]

You’d lose one thing tho which I’m not even sure

[remote lintel]

but its unlikely

[fresh gate]

The 1.0 legacy tattoo if you have it

That’s all you could’ve lost

[vagrant apex]

Nah I didn't try the game until ARR

Ok ty

[fresh gate]

Yeah then you won’t lose anything

You’d lose if you had this though

Since it’s tied to character, not service account

[vagrant apex]

The mark of a true masochist? :p

[remote lintel]

kinda

im pretty sure the reduced sub is account wide

[barren turtle]

it is but its only like £1/$1 afair

[modest igloo]

That’s not correct, masochists have fun playing the game

[vagrant apex]

Yeah but only one character per server. I wanted to go back on the same one because I have a friend who plays there

[barren turtle]

how far are you in the story?

[remote lintel]

like lvl 20

[barren turtle]

you've not missed anything then

read through the journal if you want a brief synopsis of each quest

[halcyon tulip]

Newgame+ the story later if you feel like it

[fresh gate]

Yeah it’s related to service account

But then I think he’s mentioning the entry sub

Because if he didn’t play legacy 1.0 he didn’t get the discount

[vagrant apex]

Yeah the entry sub is what I meant

Sorry didn't realise 1.0 people had a reduced sub

[fresh gate]

Anyone has the entry sub, you won’t lose it

Yeah no worries, that’s what the channel is for

People hardly know they actually do have a discount on sub

[barren turtle]

probably because its so minor

[vagrant apex]

Ok great - thanks for all the help

[fresh gate]

Not really

It’s $10 for the standard compared to $15

[storm iris]

question do I have to get the companion app sub thing one time just to get the extra saddlebag? or do I have to pay for it monthly in order to have access to the thing? kinda like retainers

[barren turtle]

I mean, in the uk its quite literally a £1 difference

[fresh gate]

Legacy £6.89/€9.99/$9.99
Standard £8.99/€12.99/$14.99

[barren granite]

does hildabrand quest continue after you beat Greg ?

[remote lintel]

it continues all the way to stormblood

[barren granite]

cool

[shut panther]

then it stops in shb, but is confirmed to return in endwalker

[barren granite]

ok ya he jsut flew off on the sword .. where do i go next ?

[flat yew]

can you do two squadron missions if you have enough members?

[boreal storm]

No

[flat yew]

ah bummer

[boreal storm]

You can do a command mission with the left overs

[boreal storm]

Yeah

[leaden ginkgo]

how can edit in HUD menu the boss skill bar

When he's going to cast a skill

[faint flare]

Hud editor > target bar > press the cog and split the ui element

Then you can move the cast bar freely

[leaden ginkgo]

Thank you .

[lime remnant]

My game crash on last phase of neir third raid. Its a dx 11 error. Any help? First time I can't even enter the raid, it insta dc me whenever I want to enter. I reinstalled then it crash every time I enter the last phase.

[dreamy fjord]

guise, where exactly do i see an item's ilvl, i'm blind, been staring at a random item for 2 minutes now, but can't see it

[boreal storm]

It’s above the stats

[slim mango]

Are resplendent weapons alternative to Aesthete's or just better? It looks like they ahve more slots and better base stats so I would assume thae latter?

tools*

And is Resplendent crafting just going from A to B to C and turning in 60 of them? No catch?

[shut panther]

they're.. technically slightly better, but the difference is 100% trivial

the catch would be that they're expert crafts

and at step C, exceedingly high ones

so you're talking hundreds of crafts that you can't really macro off to make a set of them

[mellow palm]

Hello, I'm trying to start the quest for the relic weapon, but Keiten isn't giving me any quest in Kugane (not even Dramatis Personae), any suggestions?

[slim mango]

thanks! I'll just leave them be then...

[grizzled gyro]

Hi. I need some help. I tried logging in to FFXIV through Steam and also on Windows and got the "This service account does not have a valid FINAL FANTASY XIV license for this platform or your subscription has expired" on both platforms. So I purchased a subscription, but I still get the same message. Hence I can't log in to my account in the launcher and start downloading the game. What am I doing wrong?

I'll add that I only own the Realm Reborn, and not Shadowbringers. Do I need to purchase that beforehand?

[cunning loom]

which platform did you purchase the sub on

[grizzled gyro]

I purchased it through Steam

Am I locked out of the Windows client then?

[boreal storm]

Then it has to be steam

[grizzled gyro]

I'm not getting through on Steam either. Do I need to buy Shadowbringers you think?

[fresh gate]

If you bought through steam you gotta start it through steam

[boreal storm]

You did make sure you registered the full game right?

[twin flicker]

Hello everyone

[flat yew]

is there any way to, well, speed up the grind for the skysteel fishing rod?

or is using cordials and patience 2 the best I'll get?

[twin flicker]

Hello everyone!?!
Can someone helping me how register FF? Thanks

[boreal storm]

Go to mogstation and register your game’s code

[twin flicker]

No from steam?

[boreal storm]

No

[twin flicker]

Ohh ok , thanks

Register on mogstation, purchase from steam, and continue playing from steam? Sorry mate for hard time

[gray shard]

Does anybody know why i can't use these in a plate for my bard?

lvl 49 for all classes in a lvl 49 bard

but won't let me

[twilit arch]

what level is the item you're currently wearing

[boreal storm]

High gear can’t be glammed over lower levels

[gray shard]

oh

[flat yew]

you play either through the mogstation or steam, not both

[gray shard]

still using the lvl 45 job quest ones

i guess i'll get to 50 first

kk, thanks

[dire prawn]

I learned this the hard way after I bought Seeing Horde Bow to use as glam

[twin flicker]

Thanks

[olive dragon]

where can I find the exact amount of light given by the dungeons for the anima weapons? the ones I searched were pretty inconsistent

[tribal anvil]

Hey everyone I'm trying to look for linkshells to enhance my ffxiv experience anyone have any clue where to look?

You can't @sudden dock

[dire prawn]

We have one for the discord and subreddit on Aether actually

It's a Cross-World Linkshell

[tribal anvil]

Oh that sounds great how do I join that

[dire prawn]

Uhh

Good question

[tribal anvil]

Lmao

[dire prawn]

Let me see if I can invite you or if it's like a FC where somebody needs to have a high enough rank to invite

Or not because I need to update XIV for 5.57

@young yarrow are you on

[tribal anvil]

Ok I'm in MSQ roulette right now I will be out soon

[young yarrow]

No

But hold thine horses

[pure zenith]

I also wish to be added to this linkshell

[dire prawn]

Soon™️

[pure zenith]

oh wait gotta update too XD

[dire prawn]

LMAO

[pure zenith]

yeah I dont log out

[flint pollen]

? folks is there a way to make those font larger on pc and i can barely read them

[tribal anvil]

Yup in system configuration settings I think

[errant oyster]

how do I change class to rogue? New to the game, I have an arcanist lvl 15. I have been to the quest giver but he doesn't allow me to pick up the quest

[keen kettle]

Dude holy shit we can't get the umifinished Glam from the Zenith relics?

[pure zenith]

gotta finish the level 10 job quest for arcanist first

[dire prawn]

Go do your Lv 10 Arcanist class quest

[flint pollen]

where in the system and if any one got a screen shot

[dire prawn]

It unlocks your ability to change jobs

[twilit arch]

fairly certain the replica for the unfinished is also tied to getting a zeta

[errant oyster]

thanks! to both of you 🙂

[keen kettle]

I'm saying like i do have the zeta already

But I want the Glam from the first step

I can't get it?

[twilit arch]

do you have it in your inventory?

[zinc orbit]

[storm iris]

Buuuuump

[keen kettle]

No we have to deliver to Gerolt to get the Zenith

And now I'm trying to find the Glam as in the anima ones and I'm not finding it :sadGE:

[twilit arch]

you said you have the zeta already but are saying you have to deliver zenith?

that's two conflicting messages

[keen kettle]

I'm taking about the steps

[twilit arch]

yes i know

[keen kettle]

First you find the umifinished

[twilit arch]

Zeta is the final product of the ARR relic quest chain

[keen kettle]

Then you deliver it to Gerolt

Yeh I know

[twilit arch]

if you're turning a zenith to gerolt, you are not finished

[keen kettle]

Noooo I'm not turning a Zenith

[twilit arch]

that's why i am saying you're are saying two different things

[dire prawn]

Did the preferred servers change with the 5.57 update?

[keen kettle]

I'm saying that I'm not finding the gae bolg unifinished Glam from the very first step

[fresh gate]

They always change

[keen kettle]

Because I change my weapon

[gusty island]

i was able to take on 9 quests from the sahagin yesterday (using up 9 allowances to do it, so i ended up with 3 left for sylphs which are my second priority atm)
im at the rank where you have two quest givers, so 6 should be the max. what gives?
i know theres a thing about taking on quests before reset, but even so that should leave me with 3 quests in the log and 12 allowances ready to go, right? and a max of 6 quests i can take on

[twilit arch]

and you have a longius zeta?

[keen kettle]

Ye

[twilit arch]

you have to maintain a preminum sub for the extra saddlebag

is it in your inventory

[keen kettle]

Holy shit

Lemme check it

[twilit arch]

no

[dire prawn]

Oh

[crude scarab]

hi, is it possible to link a SE free trial account to a newly bought steam account?

[keen kettle]

Welp it isn't

[remote lintel]

you mean you bought the game on steam? @crude scarab

[crude scarab]

yes

[keen kettle]

I think we deliver the item (weapon) to get the version

[remote lintel]

enter the cd key into mogstation

[crude scarab]

so I wont lose any progress from the free trial?

[remote lintel]

no

[crude scarab]

awesome thnaks

[twilit arch]

you can buy replicas of the unfinished stage from drake

But you need either the zeta in your inventory or you need to have exchanged it for the items required for the first step on the anima relic

that's why i was asking if you had it in your inventory

[keen kettle]

Oh

Cool then

[crude scarab]

is ping important in ffxiv? Im playing from southamerica in a NA datacenter and it says the connection is poor, will that be a big problem?

[fresh gate]

Some jobs

Yes

[dire prawn]

It is if you're playing MCH

[verbal tulip]

Hi o/

If you started playing FFXIV for the first time today. Would you just stick to one class/job until lvl 80 just doing the MSQ? Are there some Side-quests you would've done you didn't do? Are there any DoH/DoL you would've leveled up on the way? Would you dungeonspam less/more.

Im just curious to know, if any of you that have played for a while now would've done differently.

[fresh gate]

Machinist will he nearly unplayable for you to do the correct rotation

[autumn hedge]

What is Dancer an advanced class of?

[fresh gate]

What the fuck is up with auto corrrct today

[autumn hedge]

And is it a limited class?

[fresh gate]

None

[heavy wadi]

nothing

[dire prawn]

None of them since it's not a class

[fresh gate]

Not a limited class either

You don’t need a previous class for it

[autumn hedge]

I saw someone fighting as a dancer though

[fresh gate]

Just need to reach level 60 AND own shadowbringers

[remote lintel]

expansions classes dont have a base requirement

any job can pick them up

[dire prawn]

Reach Lv 60 with any DoW or DoM job and own Shadowbringers

[remote lintel]

and the only limited class is blue mage

[autumn hedge]

Ah alright

Thanks everyone

[fresh gate]

You can pick any of the expansions classes in the main cities excluding the heavensward ones

And they end up normally being 20 levels away from max level from their respective expansion

Again exception being heavensward ones

[crude scarab]

so what classes I wont be able to play well with high ping besides machinist?

[remote lintel]

ninja maybe?

[glossy flare]

Bard

[fresh gate]

Ninja is kind of fine

[remote lintel]

possibly bard

[glossy flare]

the drk opener? 😅

[remote lintel]

theres an opener for high ping

[glossy flare]

may just be slightly problematic, you can adjust that

[fresh gate]

You can single weave on DRK opener

It’s still doable

[crude scarab]

I started an archer wanting to play bard, so I wont be able to do well on it?

[fresh gate]

You will be able to do well on it

Just not like

Optimally well

If you’re gonna do casual content don’t worry about it much

If you want to try and solve the problem you can try a VPN like mudfish (?I think that’s the name)

[crude scarab]

if I wanted to do high end content raids and such Im screwed then?

[remote lintel]

no

you can play other classes too

[fresh gate]

Not really no

[twilit arch]

honestly i would suggest seeing how bad your ping is first

[fresh gate]

You can play other classes or even give a shot at bard

[twilit arch]

!faq datacenterip

Datacenter IP Addresses

List of IP Addresses for each Datacenter

North America
Aether: 204.2.229.9
Primal: 204.2.229.10
Crystal: 204.2.229.11

Europe
Chaos: 195.82.50.9

Japan
Mana: 124.150.157.156
Gaia: 124.150.157.157
Elemental: 124.150.157.158

how do I ping the IP?

Windows: Open Command Prompt and type ping *insert IP Address here*
Mac: Open Terminal and type ping *insert IP Address here*

[fresh gate]

I’m sure their ping is ~180-190

Top tier internet on South America will flow between that

[slate spindle]

From South America to NA, the routing is atrocious. <200 is going to be generous

[twilit arch]

simply seeing "poor" for connection doesn't really give you a good idea of how much ping you are actually getting

[verbal tulip]

ping 195.82.50.10

[high jay]

hey guys i have downloaded the free trial and now i want to buy the game any idea how ?

[fresh gate]

I find that to be the norm honestly

Then again like I said top tier internet averages on the high 100s

Which sucks for machinist 100%

I don’t have opinion on bard and ninja is fine on it

[pseudo tusk]

when do u do ur first dunegon?

[fresh gate]

Level 15 on your main scenario quest level

[crude scarab]

I have 190-208 ping to the servers

[fresh gate]

Yeah you won’t be able to do machinist on that

Not optimally at least

And you’ll have to react pretty quick to AoE markers

[verbal tulip]

didnt really understand how the pingthing works, how do I check?

[crude scarab]

but other than that will I be able to do endgame content?

[glossy flare]

open up your console and type "ping <ip here>"

[verbal tulip]

ingame?

[glossy flare]

no, on your desktop

[verbal tulip]

oh

22ms

not too bad

[ripe stream]

anyone here know which beast tribes have triple triad cards locked behind them? (no other way to get) from ARR-Stormblood

i only know of moogle so far

[leaden ginkgo]

is the (Target info Prograss bar)
the skill casting ? of the target

[verbal tulip]

yes I think so : )

[leaden ginkgo]

Thank you

[verbal tulip]

or if you're for example looting something that takes a few sec

playing with the hud? ^^

[obsidian patio]

https://store.eu.square-enix-games.com/en_EU/games/franchises/final-fantasy-xiv-online

[verbal tulip]

I just did that myself for the first time 10min ago! Try move exp bar to the bottom, then the skill-bars directly above, then "Parameter Bar" Directly above that and the Progress bar just above that again. See if you like it 🙂

[tribal anvil]

@dire prawn are you there?

[crude scarab]

so of course I created the character on the server with the worse ping for me, is there much difference between 190 ping to 206 or so?

[remote lintel]

if you just started you can make a new character

[fresh gate]

Not really but it’s still bad

You won’t get better ping

[verbal tulip]

no difference between 190 and 210

[fresh gate]

All of the NA servers are literally on the same building

[slate spindle]

That's not really true, but in practice, it just sucks

[fresh gate]

That’s your best ping that you’ll get unless somehow Europe has better routing

[crude scarab]

I see

guess Ill stick to my character

[slate spindle]

At that point your bigger concern isn't your job mechanics, it's fight mechanics and their aoe snapshots. So don't sweat it so much for the dps side. Just adapt as best you can

[crude scarab]

ok thanks

[leaden ginkgo]

are they making astro a pure healer if so why ? i really wanted to learn it b/c i like the card thing and the shields

[twilit arch]

because they're adding sage, so they want basically two of each healer type

scholar and sage are the barrier healers

[quick sage]

Hey guys

[twilit arch]

white mage and astrologian are "pure" healers

[quick sage]

What’s the best retainer explorer to have?

I have miner so far

[dreamy fjord]

Sooo do i have to finish this b4 starting the msq?

[twilit arch]

yes

game will eventually block you and tell you to finish the crystal tower raid series

[warped veldt]

Just keep doing the quests there until it says you can continue the MSQ

It'll have like a box pop up after doing enough of the quests

[twilit arch]

usual recommendation is 1 gatherer and 1 combat retainer, but something to keep in mind is that they can only go as high as you are int he class you give them.

[fresh gate]

^

It will just bar you from doing MSQ mid patch

To tell you

Go do Crystal towers

[dreamy fjord]

i've been doing it for a good while now, god how long is this?

[warped veldt]

Too long

[fresh gate]

Long enough

It’s your first alliance raids

[warped veldt]

You have to do like 3 different towers

[twilit arch]

you only have 3 more quests after that one

[glossy flare]

there are 3 raids total with quests inbetween

[fresh gate]

Yeah

Those are the only alliance raids that are required for you to do for MSQ

[warped veldt]

Also I'm thinking, will I get all the dungeons and all the stuff unlocked if I time skip to shadowbringers?

[fresh gate]

The other optional content lock just comes when you do Shadowbringers

[pure zenith]

only the main story ones

[warped veldt]

I played all through ARR and it burnt me tf out to the point where I only want to finish shadowbringers

[little swift]

yes if oyu buy a story skip all dungeons unlocked by the msq will be unlocked. but not all the optional ones

[fresh gate]

Anything optional won’t be unlocked

[rain plover]

I have a question: If I had a trial account before the free account cap was raised to 60, will I still cap at 35?

[quick sage]

Yea but I’m terms of money?!

[fresh gate]

Also you won’t have the level to start Shadowbringers

[little swift]

honestly just take a break then. you still have to play msq after anyways

[fresh gate]

You gonna have to grind it

[pure zenith]

you got through the hardest part imo, Heavensward is one of the best expansions in this game

[fresh gate]

Story skip won’t grant you a Level boost to start Shadowbringers

So you’re gonna have to grind all those levels

[warped veldt]

I grinded enough so I'm 80 at starting heavensward so I'm sure I'm fine with my level

[fresh gate]

What the

[heavy wadi]

that won't help with anything

why

[pure zenith]

that explains the burn out more than anything

[heavy wadi]

your level doesn't matter, your msq level does

[twilit arch]

ones not necessarily better than the other at generating gil. quick ventures are rng, and doesn't matter what class you make your retainer. the specific 1 hr ventures can be lucrative from a combat retainer cos mob drops are annoying to farm but most your gil making is going to be from stuff you do, not what your retainers bring back @quick sage

[heavy wadi]

no wonder you burnt yourself out

[fresh gate]

Yeah

No wonder, you went to max level utilizing low level content

[warped veldt]

I just enjoy doing the dungeons, the story is what is burning me out

[fresh gate]

You still have the matter of Gear

Unless you went and bought 80 gear form the motherboard

Or went directly to kugane after buying the story skip to get Scaevan

[pure zenith]

again ill mention that ARR is the worst of it story wise, its way better in hw

[fresh gate]

[warped veldt]

I've heard that but it's still really boring to me I'm sorry

I'll try it for a few more days but if it still isn't fun I'll just skip

[heavy wadi]

dude just take a break

skipping to shb won't really help much

[fresh gate]

You’re just gonna be lost

As fuck

[little swift]

even if the story isn't your cup of tea, which is perfectly fine

you'll still have all of shb msq

to play

[cunning swift]

HW is cool

[little swift]

its not like you're avoiding the thing thats burning you out

[rain plover]

Anyone know if an old trial account can reach lvl 60 now?

[leaden ginkgo]

are trials good for levelling

or just dungeons

[twilit arch]

trial roulette is ok to do for exp, but queueing straight for trials for exp is not good

they give very little

[leaden ginkgo]

okay

Trials exp are too little to be seen on exp bar

[still dragon]

Probably a stupid question but do I need a subscription to pre order an expansion I cannot find a yes or no answer on google :T

[faint flare]

You need to own the game, which would mean you're on the sub

[still dragon]

Dang ok thx

[pure zenith]

to be exact, you do need to own the starter edition at least, but you dont need to be actively on sub to preorder the expansion

[still dragon]

i do own starter edition aka the free version, i wanted to pre order endwalkers, to play bunny, and then buy sub later in the year

[faint flare]

The starter edition isn't free

[still dragon]

?? Why is it called started edition if it's not free SO CONFUSED

[pure zenith]

you own the trial version

[faint flare]

Trial isn't starter edition

[pure zenith]

starter is fully unlocked trial content

[still dragon]

Oh...how much is the s tarter edition?..

[faint flare]

20$

[still dragon]

Oh ok if I buy starter edition, and pre order end walkers, I can still play a bunny and buy a sub later in the year? Am I reading this rite

[pure zenith]

nope

[inland pasture]

I'm lvl 45 WHM, but no Holy. Is there a quest for it?

[faint flare]

Your job quests

[dire prawn]

job quest

[pure zenith]

you wont have access to bunnies until enwalker release because you techinically wont own shadowbringers/stormblood till endwalker release

[dire prawn]

Please for the love of God go do it

[inland pasture]

Do you need to do a job quest for every single job skill?

[dire prawn]

Up to 70

[still dragon]

@pure zenith Ohh ok thanks XD T W T

[dire prawn]

With one exception in-between with Divine Benison

[inland pasture]

Sigh

[dire prawn]

Oh and Asylum

[faint flare]

Your job quests are mandatory

[dire prawn]

I think

Either Afflatus Solace or Asylum comes from the 52 WHM quest

The other just unlocks

[pure zenith]

you could wait for another sale on complete edition and at that point it basically be only 4-10 $ extra than if you waited for endwalker but you would get early access to endwalker and bunny girls earlier

[dire prawn]

If you don't do your WHM quests I will find you

[random girder]

glare x15

[still dragon]

I dont rlly wanna wait 50 yrs for a s ale but thx

[trail tide]

for the normal raids step of the current relic, i assume the best one is to just farm the 1st and 3rd stage of each raid?

[pure zenith]

theres gonna be a few more sales most likely before endwalker release

[leaden ginkgo]

How much longer

till HW

AFTER THIS

[dire prawn]

Yes

[leaden ginkgo]

😢

[dire prawn]

Also have fun with that trial

[leaden ginkgo]

Is it that bad?

[dire prawn]

If your party doesn't save the LB for a certain part you might wipe :^)

[leaden ginkgo]

Zzz

the estimated queue time is 32 minutes

Thats even worse

[dire prawn]

I will

Press F for you

[trail tide]

chrysalis should be very close to HW

[leaden ginkgo]

Thank god

[random girder]

chrysalis is second to last trial

[leaden ginkgo]

Thank you!

[trail tide]

you're like 85% done with the post arr patch stuff

[leaden ginkgo]

That free trial is sure a trial

[shell yew]

Question for veterans healers, is it common for tanks to never use their CD during dungeons ?

[cunning loom]

new tanks, sure

it should be pretty common to burn cds on trash pulls though

[crystal bluff]

^
Mobs are way scarier than bosses in early dungeons

[shell yew]

I was doing ala mhigo though...

[crystal bluff]

[shell yew]

Twice in a row 😭

[cunning loom]

yeah... they should be using their cds 100%

[pure zenith]

just note that not all cd's show up as a buff, some instead cause a debuff

[ripe hound]

Also by now the story will start to get interesting,

[shell yew]

I know I'm a main tank so I'm really surprise as a new healer

[ripe hound]

Also have you done the Crystal Tower?

I recommend you should go do that now before continuing after This quest

[leaden ginkgo]

Where is that

[ripe hound]

https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Crystal_Tower

It's a really good piece of short story

[random girder]

game forces you to do it before 2.55

so theyre right before that lol

[ripe hound]

Yeah, the problem is if you do it right before 2.55, story pacing kinda dies a bit lol

So I highly recommend doing it around after 2.3

Or just after 2.1

2.0, etc.

[random girder]

chrysalis is 2.5 so a little late

i agree tho

[potent hound]

How do I go to pvp?

[verbal tulip]

how do you know if ur on 2.1, 2.5 etc?

[ripe hound]

Mostly Google

Not really that important

[faint flare]

You get an achievement when you finish a patch section

[verbal tulip]

oh

[ripe hound]

Mostly by finding the MSQ you are on in this list:
||https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Main_Scenario_Quests||
It's the full list of MSQ, so spoiler warning

[dreamy fjord]

https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Main_Scenario_Quests - ctrl+F , type the quest you're at, it mentions the patch, i'm using this myself to set goals / checkpoints

[verbal tulip]

so, if I just continue doing MSQ, how would I know when to to crystal tower?

[faint flare]

The game will physically block you

And tell you to go do it

[naive kraken]

did they weave crystal tower stuff into the MSQ stuff when it's finally required or is it still a blue unlock to "hunt" for?

[ripe hound]

Seventh Umbral Era Quests – Level 1-50 story quests released in Patch 2.0 as part of the base game A Realm Reborn.
Seventh Astral Era Quests – Level 50 story quests that continue the A Realm Reborn story through Patches 2.1-2.5.
Heavensward Main Scenario Quests – Level 50-60 story quests released in Patch 3.0 with the expansion Heavensward.
Dragonsong War Quests – Level 60 story quests that continue the Heavensward story through Patches 3.1-3.5.
Stormblood Main Scenario Quests – Level 60-70 story quests released in Patch 4.0 with the expansion Stormblood.
The Legend Returns Quests – Level 70 story quests that continue the Stormblood story through Patches 4.1-4.56.
Shadowbringers Main Scenario Quests – Level 70-80 story quests released in Patch 5.0 with the expansion Shadowbringers.
Post-Shadowbringers Main Scenario Quests - Level 80 story quests that continue the Shadowbringers story in Patches 5.1-5.55. This is the current ongoing set of quests.

Minor complaint, but I do wish Post ShB have a better name

I mean, like 5.3 is like often considered THE best story patch

[faint flare]

Still blue

[ripe hound]

But it's just called... Post-Shadowbringers

[twilit arch]

it does actually have a sub title

[naive kraken]

could call it || Shadowbringers: Escape From The First || going along the old NY/LA movies XD

[twilit arch]

4.1-4.3 is "the voyage home"

4.4-4.5 is "dark reprise"

[twin flicker]

Hello again!
I registered on mogstation, what I do next, please

Should purchase games from mogs or steam?

[twilit arch]

not sure where you got the legend returns quests for 4.1-4.56 tho tbh

[remote lintel]

@twin flicker are you trying to do the free trial?

[twin flicker]

No I want purchase the games

[naive kraken]

unless you find an advantage in paying via steam, mog seems like a better choice IMO

[remote lintel]

then you buy from the SE store

[twin flicker]

One more question,SE also have the same expansion pack like steam,if I like the games and want it?

[remote lintel]

yes they have the same things

[naive kraken]

can't take advantage of sales that aren't on steam if you go via steam, cant take advantage of steam discount if you don't go on steam, but i think more places have it on sale more often than steam, if you still need to buy

[remote lintel]

buy the complete edition

[twin flicker]

Great thanks for the suggestion

[remote lintel]

they registered on mogstation they have to buy from SE

[twilit arch]

where'd you get the name "The legend returns quests" for post sb

[ripe hound]

https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Main_Scenario_Quests

[twilit arch]

ok well

that's not the name for post sb

that's 4.1 patch title

even in game its just "post stormblood"

[remote lintel]

its the name of a patch

in post sb

[ripe hound]

I see

[twin flicker]

@naive kraken thanks for advice too,I doubt steam would make discount for FF!

[polar flint]

Anyone have any issues pre ordering Endwalker on the SquareEnix store?

[twin flicker]

Anyway thanks everyone,brb soon am in the game

[dire prawn]

no

[polar flint]

When I go to purchase the "Review" and "Payment" columns show my info for a brief second and then collapses and won't allow me to reopen

[remote lintel]

try a different browser

[open spire]

Hiya team, I didn't see an actual section for this but are there any Chocobo Race masters here? Got a few questions/looking for advice

[twin flicker]

@remote lintel sorry disturb you.
I went to SE store and show me to visit steam or playstation store
I play on PC

To purchase the games

[remote lintel]

what do you mean

they should be on the se store

https://store.eu.square-enix-games.com/en_EU/games/franchises/final-fantasy-xiv-online

[hallow grove]

between diamond zeta planisphere and augmented cryptlurker planisphere, which one is best for ast?

[remote lintel]

aug crypt has higher ilvl

[twin flicker]

@remote lintel find it thanks, sorry hard time

[rough patrol]

Does an FC’s home server matter?

[dire prawn]

Yes

[rough patrol]

Like should I just look for FCs in famfrit?

[dire prawn]

Are you on Famfrit?

[rough patrol]

Yes

[dire prawn]

Then you can only join FCs on Famfrit

[slate arrow]

You can only join an FC on your same home server

[rough patrol]

Ok thanks

[dire prawn]

You can't join any that are from Hyperion or Exodus or Lamia etc

[slate arrow]

Unless you transfer to that server

*home world transfer

[rough patrol]

Awesome, thanks all

[warm veldt]

is pag or matoya's faster to run?

[wanton lintel]

Why can’t find all the aether currents in the tempest I’m standing right on top of one according to compass?

[potent hound]

How do I join PvP?

[faint flare]

It's under you. Remember there's a under section under Ondo cups

[twilit arch]

personally would go with pag

[wanton lintel]

Under me? I only just reached the area

[twin flicker]

I got a problem!! I can purchase Crysta with prepaid card only 😑

[faint flare]

Yes, you'll be taken under Ondo cups later

[wanton lintel]

I see

[twin flicker]

Nvm

[leaden ginkgo]

Anyone here uses teamcraft?

[low meteor]

Is there someway to contact support that isn't ticket?

[warm snow]

No

[low meteor]

Ahh might as well give up recovering my account then

[warm snow]

They have decent response times of you want to trt

[twilit arch]

there is a support phone number, you've got primal and japan for your roles

where are you

[low meteor]

I'm in australia

Problem is when I send in a ticket, I get a generic response on how to change my email from inside my account, my problem is my email was hacked awhile ago and I no longer have access and I don't know my PW

[twilit arch]

hrm

unfortunately I can't find EU's support number (i assume australia falls under EU)

[low meteor]

Yeah I tried NA chat support and the refered me

EU chat is down all the time at the times it's meant to be open

[leaden ginkgo]

So im capped on company seals and allagan tomestones. What should i buy with them? Im not even HW yet and on trial mode

[little swift]

!faq poetics

[zinc orbit]

What should I spend my Poetics on? How do I get more?

Text guide on what to spend Tomestones of Poetics on

Video guide on how to get more Tomestones of Poetics

[little swift]

and rank up if you can if you're capped on seals

if you can't rank up, do squadrons

[leaden ginkgo]

thx, ill look into it

[prisma glacier]

Hello! Is there anyone on Phoenix that can invite me and a friend to the novice network?

[dire prawn]

Go to Limsa and use /shout or /say if you're on trial and ask to be invited

[nocturne steeple]

Hey guys Idk if this is the place for this question but i'm stuck with my UI / general settings

I haven't played in over a year, just came back and all my settings/keybinds have all reset

My settings are definitely still there, but the game isn't using them

[slim mango]

How does Collectability of Thunderstone affect the amount of aethersand received

I just had a 1000 collectability Thunderstone and it gave me zero aethersand

[warm snow]

Higher chance of better drops

But rng is still rng

[slim mango]

is there a minimum? I did a 150 quality and it gave me just a cluster, so clearly there's something

[stable grail]

Hello, i saw someone have these ui player frames just wanted to ask is it possible in game to have that, if so - how, would love to have that clean look.

[random girder]

its a mod

[little swift]

skotlex material ui mod

[inner perch]

Is it a good idea to grind duty roulette to level from level 43 to 50

[little swift]

you only get a roulette bonus once per day

[inner perch]

But the exp from duty seems good

[little swift]

its less effective to do that and get a random lower level dungeon than it is to queue directly into dungeons at your level

[inner perch]

Sadly my MSQ is only level 34

[little swift]

so why are you trying to rush to 50?

do your msq

[inner perch]

Ok

[little swift]

you being 50 won't unlock more things

if you don't have the msq

[inner perch]

I want to unlock my job skills at level 50

[little swift]

you'll still be synced down when you enter duties

[heavy wadi]

they won't matter in lower level dungeons

[inner perch]

Ok

[modest igloo]

You’ll have plenty of time to play with the cool stuff at lvl 50

[drifting dragon]

i just completed the 3rd hall of the novice exercises, but I wasn't awarded any gear when the reward said I would be given some pants. Is it bugged or do I just need to complete the whole thing?

[dire prawn]

whole thing

[leaden ginkgo]

i have ARR digital and stormblood physical (just put it in for the first time) do i click yes or should it already be ready for me without having to use the data disc?

[obsidian patio]

I’d say no. From how they phrase it you’re only choosing if you want launch the game with the disc inserted?

I’ve never seen that prompt before so I can’t say.

[polar flame]

getting some fps drops in limsa lominsa and some other really crowded areas. not a huge deal but it's kinda annoying. my gpu and cpu are only using like 30-50%

normal or no?

[cobalt granite]

I'm trying to turn in some quest items to complete minor side quests but once I do it never completes(kinda just frozen until I hit esc)
FIXED

[heavy wadi]

Normal, crowded areas can cause fps drops

[random girder]

normal, more characters is pretty cpu heavy

so limsa will do that

[slow timber]

im getting fatal directx error a lot of times, does anyone know how to fix? its being impossible to play, i think maybe its because im playing in 4k with bordlesss and multitasking, but i think my pc can handle it, that only happens with ffxiv

[polar flame]

thanks

[upbeat scarab]

ive levelled a character to 60 and gone through msq but i wanna make a new one but dont wanna level again so might boost, thinking marauder or dk, which would be more simple?

[leaden ginkgo]

New to the Firmament, can anyone tell me why I can't turn in the items I crafted even when I have a full inventory of them?

[random girder]

they probably dont meet the quality requirement

[leaden ginkgo]

Ohh

Didn't know that was a thing

[fast hull]

I think people use macros to level. Non crafter but for leveling they use macos to turn in collectibles

[potent hound]

What npc do i talk to for mount guide?

[random girder]

mount guide is in your ui

under character

[primal mesa]

Hey guys I have been farming a lot to get the Malone minion, I have cumulated the 50000 points asked to get it but the achievement hasn’t unlocked. Am I missing something ?

[astral field]

If i started the “change of arms” quest as a PLD and collected the 15 loathsome memories.... if i change my mind, could i abandon the quest, restart as GNB and keep the 15 memories for that?

Or do i need to start again

[faint flare]

Yes, memories are kept when abandoning

Cause they're not key items

[leaden ginkgo]

gearing question, if I can only wear 1x augmented 530 ring then what do I use for the other one?

[obsidian patio]

Is it all in one class or spread through multiple?

[leaden ginkgo]

Would I have to do Savage Eden?

[potent hound]

Yes but its locked

[obsidian patio]

Yes you need savage Eden if you want a second i530 ring

[random girder]

use the whistle

in your inventory

[primal mesa]

Spread

[leaden ginkgo]

ugh

[leaden ginkgo]

thanks, what a waste of a day

[obsidian patio]

Marauder/Warrior, IMO.

[cursive terrace]

how does one obtain sacks of nuts

[twilit arch]

fairly certain it has to be on 1 gatherer

[obsidian patio]

it needs to be all in one class for the achievement to count

[twilit arch]

you can't spread it across them

"As a disciple of land"

[primal mesa]

Ah ok

Thanks for the help ^^

[upbeat scarab]

awesome ty man

[warped furnace]

I can claim all of the Journey's End gear right?

[faint flare]

Yes

[stray turtle]

People told me that fat chokobo is only available via getting collectors edition of a certain expansion. Then i find out there is a black variant of the fat choko from another expansion. And i was told that to get the fat choko you need to get complete edition. Will that also give the collectors edition stuff too for the in-game rewards? Or am i missing something.

At times squeenix is really confusing

[leaden ginkgo]

I really can't sell Revelation gear back can I?

[faint flare]

No

[obsidian patio]

Black Fat Chocobo came from a promo event.

[leaden ginkgo]

so I can only toss it then

[faint flare]

Or wait until endwalker to wear two cryptlurker rings

Assuming they remove the unique from them

[obsidian patio]

If you want the normal fat chocobo you need to upgrade your ARR license on the mogstation to collector’s edition

[twilit arch]

there's several fat chocobos. 2 of them were from promotions, and 1 is from the ARR CE, and 1 is from an ingame achievement

the normal yellow fat chocobo with no extra fluff is the ARR collector's edition mount

[leaden ginkgo]

thanks, just wasted a few hours doing all of this and it was for nothing...

[twilit arch]

the 1 from achievement is a yellow fate chocobo with a pope hat

2 promo fat chocobos are the black fat chocobo and the white fat chocobo

[rough patrol]

Is there a way to get to Shirogane housing without ever stepping foot in any of the Stormblood areas? I'm currently in Heavensward

[light lion]

Is it possible to play on PlayStation but with keyboard and mouse?

[twilit arch]

yeah, either join a free company with a house there or be friends with someone who's got a house there @rough patrol

[rough patrol]

Finding specific FC's to apply to is a pain in the ass in this game - I dont know why

[twilit arch]

Do note, that to leave shirogane you will need to teleport out

[rough patrol]

Thanks

[stray turtle]

@twilit arch so i won't be getting the chokobos if i get the complete edition right? And there ain't like a collector's upgrade

[twilit arch]

complete edition doesn't come with any mounts. Iirc there is a complete collector's edition, but there's also a collector's upgrade on the mogstation

[warm yacht]

Anyone got tips on setting up SAM hotbars? Mine are garbage

[spiral inlet]

is there two eureka zones like bozja?

[twilit arch]

eureka has 4 zones

[spiral inlet]

4?!

[twilit arch]

anemos, pagos, pyros and hydatos

[heavy wadi]

I don't really have tips but you can take a look at my setup https://i.imgur.com/KsbJGQg.png

[thorn pine]

im looking for another job to play that has a lot of buttons to press and no waiting, I really like bard cuz u can weave bloodletters while waiting for burst shot, but its kinda getting boring now, any reccomendations?

[warm yacht]

Partially the issue is my setup

well, less of an issue and more of a whatever

[spiral inlet]

I'm about to hit level 20

[heavy wadi]

well you can copy my hotkeys if you want, but do note that what works for me may not work well for you

[spiral inlet]

when do I unlock the next one?

[slate spindle]

Sounds like you want higher APM jobs

[warm yacht]

I have an mmo mouse with 12 buttons on the side that you can toggle between two modes

[rough patrol]

uhh, what's the easiest way to find a specifc FC in game so I can apply to it?

[warm yacht]

and I use shift to control my third hotbar

[twilit arch]

You can go there once you finish the last quest from krile in anemos, but its really recommended to stay in anemos as long as possible. Pagos is annoying

[spiral inlet]

but I got echo now

[twilit arch]

its less so now they adjusted the aethernet levels

[spiral inlet]

do they give you echo

in the other zones?

[twilit arch]

even with echo pagos is still annoying

[spiral inlet]

o wow

How long should I stay tilkl

[twilit arch]

25~

granted you can go to pagos now if you want

[spiral inlet]

I think I will take your advice

only really doing logs

and fates

[twilit arch]

can atleast dip your toes, if you think you're fine stay and continue

otherwise go back to anemos and level a bit, and then go back to pagos when you feel ready

[spiral inlet]

do you know where the level 19-20 ashkin would be

[faint flare]

!faq anemosmap

[zinc orbit]

Eureka: Anemos Map

[faint flare]

Might help

[twilit arch]

keep in mind, ashkin only spawn at night

[faint flare]

Nocturnal stuff are ashkin on the map

[leaden ginkgo]

What's the best food for leveling crafting?

[spiral inlet]

thanksx

I don

dont need to finish the first relic

to work on the glowy one right

[obsidian patio]

Generally foods that have CP as the main stat

[heavy wadi]

you have to do the steps in order, if that's what you're asking

[obsidian patio]

For early levels that’s Stone Soup from the gold saucer

[twilit arch]

Cp food is usually a good choice. since that's most often the biggest issue with leveling. Stone soup is a good low level one

can also buy fish soup with gc seals

[tribal anvil]

anyone have the LS associated with this discord?

[leaden ginkgo]

How to I add materia to gear? I’m trying to do it for the lv20 wvr quest, and whenever I try to add it, it’s greyed out/I can’t click it. What did I miss?

[faint flare]

Materia has a minimum ilvl gear needs to be

To be melded

Can't jam.high level materia into low lvl gear

[leaden ginkgo]

Ah I see

Where do I get low level materia then?

All the stuff I find seems to be high level

[fast hull]

@thorn pine mch is like press all of the buttons

[storm iris]

Is selling runs of different content for in-game items/currency against ToS?

[obsidian patio]

It shouldn’t be, since you’re offering an in game service for in-game items

Unless said in-game items are only from the mogstation, which can blur the lines

[stray turtle]

i have a whole page of items in my general inventory. Is there a way to sort them or to liquidate them ?

[obsidian patio]

Right click an item and choose sort

For liquidating, you go to any vendor and sell it to them

[storm iris]

So I can sell runs for Gil and other items as long as they arent from Mogstation?

[obsidian patio]

Yeah

[split turtle]

need help finding a party to get my first clear of seat of sacrifice, any advice?

[fast hull]

Um like really pay attention to ice and fire

[little swift]

thats not what tthey're asking

they're LFG rn

its in trial roulette just queue

and wait

[fast hull]

Oh sorry

[split turtle]

Oh yeah, sorry haha that's my question, I'm LFG. I've been queing as a tank for the past few days with no luck

[little swift]

are you on NA?

if you are just try and queue during prime time

could also throw up a PF and see what results you get that way

[high otter]

I noticed that at some level food stopped giving me bonus exp. On 70+ I receive +60% exp, which is obviously can't include food buff. Do I need another food for 70+ or it just stops working there

[split turtle]

Yeah, NA. Guess I just need to wait and get lucky haha thanks!

[little swift]

no food shouldn't stop working because of your level

[high otter]

Now when I check logs — it gives +57% without food. So I guess food works, but how do I get +57% then?

[little swift]

!faq armouryexp

[zinc orbit]

Armoury EXP bonus FAQ

'How do I get the bonus experience from the Armoury?'

As long as you're playing a Disciple of War or a Disciple of Magic class that's a lower level than your highest level class then you're able to benefit from the bonus experience. You do not need to have a class at level 80 for the bonus to be active.

'How much is the bonus experience?'

You get +100% experience from levels 1 to 69, which then reduces to +50% for level 70 to 79. The difference in level between your current class and highest class does not change the amount of experience you get.

[little swift]

thats 50%

[high otter]

Yeah. So what's 7%

[little swift]

not entirely sure where the rest of the 7% is from, maybe chain bonus

[high otter]

No, definitely not

[dire prawn]

Do we have a bot command where I can find the list of MSQ

[little swift]

FC buffs?

[high otter]

I have it, but it's 5%

[little swift]

and rested exp i suppose

[high otter]

rested exp is 2%?

[little swift]

i wouldn't be too sure what teh remaining 2% is

depends on what you're doing

[high otter]

dungeons powerleveling

[little swift]

can still get chain bonus from mobs in the dungeons

i think

its been a while

[floral sluice]

Does anyone know what 3rd person camera angle is set to by default?

[high otter]

I've got +57% for finishing the dungeon after killing the boss, it's not a chain for sure

I guess only resting left

[thorn pine]

I also heard that some classes arent good for endgame content, is this one of them? (I heard bard is also one)

[heavy wadi]

this is not true

!faq meta

[zinc orbit]

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.

[heavy wadi]

you heard wrong

[fast hull]

? I mean bad has puny dps but it's more important that you dont die

[remote lintel]

it doesnt

[pure zenith]

bard has party buffs so any dps lost would be made up by the party

[remote lintel]

it only has lower personal dps because it relies on buffing other people

[thorn pine]

ah i see

[remote lintel]

the classes with the highest personal dps have 0 party buffs

and dont bring anything else to the party

[fast hull]

I mean blm has big dps but the down side you can't move much

[remote lintel]

yes you can

[twilit arch]

blm does just fine with movement

[remote lintel]

blm has high personal damage because it has literally no other utility like i said

[fast hull]

Slide casting and teleworking is considered moving, maybe my English is poor

[open spire]

Does the extra 6m exp you get from this item effect end if you change your job?
https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Commercial_Survival_Manual

[twilit arch]

blm also has triplecast, xeno, thunder/fire procs

[little swift]

you have a lot of instant casts to use for movement too

[twilit arch]

they have several ways to deal with movement

[remote lintel]

black mage has a ton of instant cast skills

[rigid sparrow]

What’s does the JDEF stand for In the friends list

[twilit arch]

their language settings

[fast hull]

I meant if you are casting spells without triple cast or or instant spells and just basic fire 4 your spell will cancel

[rigid sparrow]

That’s actually a really good idea

[twilit arch]

j=japanese, d=deutsch, e = english, f= french

[remote lintel]

thats every caster

[little swift]

thats not a blm specific issue

[remote lintel]

not just black mage

you can get 7 gcds of instant casts on black mage

they dont have a problem with movement

[rigid sparrow]

Is there a way to buy SB on steam?

[honest anvil]

No

[remote lintel]

they only have a problem with players bad at movement

[open spire]

Appreciate ya boss

[pure zenith]

stormblood is included in shb

[faint flare]

Shadowbringers gives stormblood

[rigid sparrow]

Oh

[floral sluice]

This only reverts the camera distance to default. not the camera angle ^^'

[rigid sparrow]

It doesn’t say that in the steam store

Like under Shadow it doesn’t reference SB at all

[little swift]

can adjust camera angle in character config

iirc ctrl up/down also adjsut it

[floral sluice]

I know. I asked if someone know what the default was. I was messing around with it and don't know how it actually should be at this point.

Otherwise, what camera angle are most people using?

[honest anvil]

It’s just how expacs work in xiv. They are all linear so later ones include ealier by default

[remote lintel]

30 is the default @floral sluice

[floral sluice]

Thank u

[spiral inlet]

How do I unlock FC actions rank 3

er tier 3

[rigid sparrow]

Thank you for answering my questions

[twilit arch]

rank 3 aren't unlock, they're made via aetherwheels

which is a housing item

and tbh they're kind of a pain in the ass to do

[spiral inlet]

OHHHH

[heavy wadi]

they are

[spiral inlet]

so thats what you use those for

[heavy wadi]

a pain

[plush jackal]

How can I find someone in my world that's having a wedding that I can attend for the minions?

[heavy wadi]

we're gonna make a bunch in advance of EW but they take a lot to make

[spiral inlet]

wow

I';d rather just buy the stuff

[spiral inlet]

TYVM

[twilit arch]

if you want relatively "easy" fc rank 3 buffs, send your squadron out for those

The items you can get from the weekly squadron missions are effectively the same

[spiral inlet]

oh man I forgot I have those guys

they've been doing squats

for like a month

[twilit arch]

nows a good time to start sending em out again

get a nice hearty stock of buffs for endwalker

[spiral inlet]

is that what they are good for?

[twilit arch]

mhm, squadron dungeons are also a pretty decent leveling option if you don't want to do potd/dungeons with normals

[spiral inlet]

whats max level for squards

50?

[twilit arch]

60

[spiral inlet]

ok does training courses actually level them up or switch their stats around?

[twilit arch]

there's 2 sets of training

there's one specifically for giving exp

and there's (several) others that switch their stats around

iirc the one that has all 3 stat icons is the one that's for exp

[spiral inlet]

ohhh ok thanks

How does this work exactly?>

!faq glamourdresser

[zinc orbit]

Glamour Dresser FAQ

"What is the Glamour Dresser?"

The Glamour Dresser allows you to glamour an entire set of equipment at once when in a city or town. You can find the dresser in your inn room at any of the Adventurer's guilds.

"How do I use it?"

In order to use the Glamour Dresser you need to first put the items you want to use for glamour inside of it. This requires a one-time cost of one Glamour Prism per item. You're able to safely take out the items, but you'll need to pay another Glamour Prism to put it back into the Dresser. After you have put in the glamour items you want to use for your set you'll want to click on "Edit Glamour Plates".

When the plate window opens up you can select the stored glamours you have onto the slots of the plate to create the set you desire. Once you're satisfied with your glamour click on "Save". You can now apply your Glamour Plate by accessing the Character menu, clicking the Glamour Plate button, and choosing the Plate that you have made.

[spiral inlet]

ohhhhh nice

so its like a free chest

wait is it more like a copy?

[jade quartz]

It stores items

which can also be used to create glamour plates.

[drifting dragon]

is sargatanas an alright server to be playing on or did i fuck up by picking this as the server to play on.

[honest anvil]

!faq worldpick

[zinc orbit]

Which world should I pick?

You can play on any world on any datacenter within FFXIV. Aside from the languages spoken, the physical location of the servers, and the status of each world, there are no major differences. This also means population on a given server is quite meaningless.

The majority of content is cross-world, with the exception of Free Companies, Linkshells, and restrictions when visiting other worlds.

If you don't mind where you play, choose a world that is Preferred or New for character creation bonuses. Check world status by using !status <world name> or via the Lodestone. For information about the status types, use !faq worldtype.

Notable worlds:

• Balmung & Mateus (Role-playing)
• Tonberry & Kujata (Large amount of Oceanic players)
• Moogle (Large amount of French players)
• Shiva (Large amount of German players)
  ANY CENSUSES OR WORLD STEREOTYPES BEYOND THIS IS INACCURATE BIAS AND SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY

Quick question regarding retainers. Does upgrading the base class of a retainer’s job (I.e. Rogue to Ninja) make a difference when it comes to the items you get from ventures? I have two retainers at 80 but they're both still the base class (Rogue). I'd rather not reset the progress if I don't have to.
