you only get a teleport option when the fight first starts
so you dont get locked out if youre late
im on the 3rd crystal tower msq right now idk why game is forcing me to do old raids but w/e
It's part of the story
that makes sense to me
its so if you die and get ressed you have weakness
if you could go in after dying and tping out, youd have no weakness
so itd be busted
Same reason you’re “forced” to do old dungeons
If you die during a boss fight it's better to just wait for a res than to return
Because the story wants you to
A weakened state > not participating
^
If people are caught afking they'll readily get the boot
If not by the party itself then the game, cause 10 minutes of inactivity during a duty will bail you out of it
The shb story doesn't make sense without crystal tower, thus why it's now required
Yeah I saw that once during a msq roulette
Luckily it was after the duty was completed
can you enter delubrum from zadnor?
no
you have to queue up from gangos
you talk to the same dude you use to be able to access zadnor and bozja
otherwise if you are talking about drs, then it is a different npc
30m
thanks
you queue at the npc near the entrance
should i just hold on to my irregular tomestones of pageantry? i only have 10 of them but feel bad just discarding them.
No they’re probably worthless
Doubt they’d be reused for another fanfest moogle event
introducing: not rolling on loot & getting 5 minutes of kick immunity.
AR people (especially ARR) in 99% of the cases do not want to wait 5 minutes to progress, at which point new loot shows up adding more time.
repeat until AR is done.
people "afk" ARs all the time.
Are there skills locked behind DoH/DoL job quests?
There's one at like level 65. Really good skill too.
yes.
you can see the skill rewards for the quests on the Lodestone DB.

If I have to somehow fish out 99 grade 1 junkrock in lv20 fishing job quest as well I'm going to #rants
Is it reasonable to kick someone for trolling?
Yes 100%
Report them too
Anyways
What gear is Fray wearing when you start doing your DRK quests
I can’t tell if they’re trolling or don’t know how to play
They gave two lv50 1 dps 1 healer
What are they doing?
Kick them
You'd have to actually try to wipe on Brayflox's
are there any level v sprites in bozja that are always up?
If they're spamming Medica I in Brayflox after three wipes they're trolling
Kick them
Get a new healer
Hell I'd join in if I could

Just so you'd clear it
You're on the wrong DC or I'd heal it myself
Well no I was afraid too qq say I can be punish for weongful kick
guys, i've heard that this game is one of the best mmorpg out there and i have some questions about the paying method. I've seen that its a monthly sub 10,99€ but can i not pay for a month and my account still exists right?
Yes of course
what's the best way to convey "i haven't (role) in a long time" with auto translate?
No.
Sub is merely to be able to access the game, nothing is deleted if your sub lapses.
this is my first time here
alright, thanks! the free trial is until level 20 right?
There's a free trial that you might want to try first though
60
end of heavensward
ho, really?
its huge
The free trial is until level 60, encompasses the base game and first expansion, and has no time limit
damn
i didn't pay sub for like 8 years, still had my character
thx, i thought it was limited
They'll never delete your character or account
i've been missing xD
For inactivity, at least
thx a lot guys 🙂 have a nice wednesday
Well someone else kicked him after multiple wipes, didn’t know you could bot dungeon.
We had a bot in potd a bit ago..you can find them anywhere if you are unlucky
You can
Now wait for another healer
But if I was on your DC I'd be the new healer ,, such things are really annoying and I hope the next healer will do a better job they prolly will

||I'm not sure it's a spoiler but: I was not aware that when you do your delibrum 15 times to upgrade your weapon you get to allocate the stats for it and I have no idea how I should be allocating >.< I'm a dragoon and I'm pretty sure Critical Hit is the most important but beyond that I'm not sure. My options are Direct Hit Rate, Critical Hit, Determination, and Skill Speed. Please help T_T||
Well they at least used single healing, instead of just spamming medica 1.
Crit/DH to max, det for the rest is your general go-to for most DPS
Max crit and DH, rest in Det
Thank you so much!
drg doesnt like skill speed
So zero in skill speed?
yeah
Yes none for the relic
drg likes 2.5 gcd
or as close to it as possible
so you dont get weird clipping/drifting on jumps
Thank you! It was pretty much what I thought but after all the work I did to get this thing I didn't want to find out I'd been doing it wrong and have it be worthless.
The stats can be reallocated easily for just 400 poetics.
Same way as you would a glamour prism, but the top option on the right-side of the glamour menu removes the glamour
ooooh got it, thanks
if I'm farming a dungeon and what i want only drops from the first two bosses can i just run the first two bosses and leave with the gear i got then repeat till I get what i want? Or do i have to run the whole thing?
okay cool. That just cut my run time in half. Thank you <3
Related question
If there are some dungeon cards that pertain to minibosses do they explicitly drop from those bosses?
or do I have to clear the whole thing
Hi all, im doing the resistance remembers quest, and don’t fancy doing the alliance raids to obtain the memories. It mentions i can grind out fates, wheres the best place to teleport to in order to farm both memories requires
I purely did fates for that one off step
Azim Steppe is the ideal zone for the Othard ones, the Lochs in Gyr Abania is usually suggested but I had no issues running most of mine in the Peaks
this required for that? not sure
might as well do it
unlocks a repeatable quest thats good for other stuff
like the heavensward relic if you want to do that
Nothing wrong with closing off a finished quest
is it a quest or a questline? wanna focus for now on msq
plus its funny
koh rabntah is a nice character that just kinda
exists
im worried for her
Honestly I'm surprised she didn't have a bigger splash in the story considering the implications
w8what
dont worry about it 
They're just messing
Just did a fate in azim steppe and I didn’t get a memory, are they not guaranteed?
Oh dear 😂
It can take a good while
Makes sense now
It's probably the longest step in the questline
The patch significantly eased up the followup step
Yeah i did see that thankfully
Do the exp earrings from pre orders scale with retainers?

Hi, i'd like to ask for some help
I don't think so
i have all expansions up to shadowbringers on ps5
now i would like to buy the game for pc using the same game account
prreferably on steam
You'll have to buy pc licenses for game and all expansions on pc
Either through steam or squenix direct
do i buy complete?
You can buy it on Steam or PC, either is fine
Yup, Complete Edition
just a heads up, when the Steam Summer Sale starts, it is pretty likely that the game will be on sale there
Whichever you buy you'll be locked to buying subsequent expansions from that platform
if you feel like waiting
hi, im currently level 22 thaumaturge and ive been trying to unlock the rogue class but im not quite sure how
Do your level 10 class quest
oh great, thanks for the tip
Prog msq to 15 to unlock airship to limsa
If you've done at least up to your level 10 thaumaturge quest, the quest to become a Rogue should be available. In Limsa Lominsa
Then you can unlock rogue
gotchu thanks
Also you're going to get another 30 days of sub time added when you register the Complete Edition
if i buy endwalker wouldn't i get 1 more expansion on pc then complete edition for pretty much the same price?
complete has all up to shadowbringers
yes, but not until EW releases
so on premiere
could only play up to HW if you buy starter + EW
until EW release at least, at which point you would have everything
ok ty
Basically yeah. If you wait, you will eventually get a better deal buying the Complete Edition that includes Endwalker
if you are willing to wait 5 months
(or buying Starter now and Endwalker when it releases—same thing)
wat dis
that part of the MSQ tracker shows important sidequests to do
mainly your class/job quests to learn more actions
that's your paladin's jobquest
Quests that show up down there are important sidequests, typically class/job quests
tyy
you have to do these
(it's strongly recommended to do these)

is ARR raids dead?
yes, but they're technically not mandatory.
you can play w/o them. but everyone and their mothers will haunt you for it
what kind of quests is this
which ones
ohhh
they're basically dead. they don't appear in any roulette since they're a savage raid.
daily quest to run all 3 ARR ARs
is it important to do that
Nope.
nah, only useful if you're doing relic
Only if you're working on a HW relic
are they not even in Mentor roulette?
correct. Mentor roulette doesn't have any of the savage raids.
and coil was the precursor to savage difficulty
New 80 here is there a catch up mechanic for gearing?
Gil if you can spare it, really.
Or just marketboard?
start with exarchic gear on market board if you have the gil
if not, do recent normal raid tier
edens promise
to get 510 gear
you can also run a bunch of level 80 content to earn tomestones to spend it on i490 and i520 gear
^
!faq contentunlock
Is the vendor in othard?
SHB tome vendors are in Eulmore.
Thxs
Market board is easiest but expesive
If you want to grind. Go get the ilvl430 set from npc at tempest then do eden 1-4 and/or nier 1 till you reach 460 then go to eden 5-8 and/or nier 2 till you reach 490 before go to play current end content (eden 9-12 and/or nier 3)
You can use the tome you get along the grind too to get ilvl490 gear and illv520
Craftable gear is 510, can be upgraded to 520 with uncapped tomes
ok appreciate it
Don't worry about gearing until you finish shb
But only if it's HQ
If by new 80 you mean you only just hit it for the first time
well, if they already have crafters at 80 w/ master tomes they can try to gear themselves w/ exarchic b4 finishing shb.
exarchic are so cheap now that crafting yourself to gear yourself is too much effort ...
Am I just stupid or is doubleweaving mug+bunshin without clipping really fucking hard-borderline not possible?
depends on your latency and skillspeed
Hi! just wanted to ask as I've only been playing the game for a few months, and I've never done this. A friend of mines birthday is tomorrow and i wanted to get him a gift from the mog station, thing is he on one of the NA data centers and I'm EU, is it possible to gift mog station items to him?
I think its
a code? if you choose the gift option
That they redeem from mogstation
oh okay! so it probably doesn't really matter then i guess
Its been a while im not sure if its changed
Wait did ROG/NIN not exist back when ARR started?
Its added on 2.3 iirc
yup
Hang on wasnt thancred is a rogue? Whats his class before 2.3 then?
gladiator iirc
in any instances before 2.3, he fights as a Gladiator
with one dagger and no shield
He does do some pretty acrobatic dagger throwing moves in cutscenes is all
I don't recall ever seeing him fight, but I didn't start in Ul'dah
but yeah, never during actual gameplay
Dagger? A gladiator dagger?
Does it still exist? 
Don't think there is a dagger gla weapon
i think he just used some shitty bronze spatha or something vendor weapon looking
He jumps in to save the girl if you start in Uldah
there are some really short sword for GLA/PLD
sad ng+ cant made you play story from other city (mine is gridania)
hmm, I think there were daggers in 1.0 that Gladiators used, I thought that their models made it over to ARR but perhaps not
There is this one cutscene after the ||Ifrit|| fight where he does a backflip over a person and throws 3 daggers at them mid air
anybody know how to get here?
Im pretty new to endgame in this game and just got to 80 and bought some 490 gear. Only like 3p. What is the best way right now to B-line a decent weapon?
So yeah, he was always kinda rogue-y
market board is the easiest but cost gil
if you want to grind a bit you can use allegory to buy ilvl490 before working out on ilvl520 tome
relic weapon also the best weapon in this game if you fully upgrade it but oh boi tis a lot of grind
Kinda hard to tell what zone that is
Earn*
since the map is cropped
ty tho 🙂
i only see armor for 490 520 not weaps
even worse fantasia doesn't allow you to change city.
so you can't even play the money game to get the other achievos.
get an exarchic weapon from the market board (ilvl 510), run the eden normal raid for tokens that you can exchange for a 520 weapon OR run diaex which drops a 525 weapon
all good choices
Well your race have no bearing on your starter city :/
tyvm 😄
Also you may wanna get started on the relic weapon questline
best weapon when fully upgraded but that is a decent grind away for you
side note: this one is locked behind lvl70 ivalice raids
ok for SB? did it in main game but it was an old weapon lol
I thought relic is useless compared to end game raid rewards
For ShB, not SB
it's not
shadowbringer i meant sorry
ya but you also get to change your guardian etc. when fantasia-ing, so starting city would've been a great incentive to get (some achievement hunters) people to buy fantasia just for that. :^)
The relic weapon is the best weapon of each expansion but ONLY when it is fully upgraded
any step before that is inferior to something else
maxed relic is slightly better than savage weapon
but only on last upgrade A.K.A last patch
got a decent guide for a noob?
as an achievement hunter, I don't want achievements available for money 
Relic is the best weapon, but it comes after the Savage weapon
Serious raiders will have had the savage weapon for a while before the last step of relic comes out
serious raider will get their weapon on even patch while relic need to wait on odd patch so thats like 3-4 months gap
you theoretically get 2 free fantasia.
when you finish base ARR & if you have deluxe of... SB I think?
*HW
I've read to not bother with A Relic Reborn quest
That's an old relic
if you wait till HW CE edition on discount, you basically buy fantasia with a bonus mount 
That's for glamour
ye, my point tho was "you get 2 fantasia, you have 2 extra achievos, so it'd result in no extra spendings to get them if fantasia allowed you to change city"
Old relics are not worth the grind for their stats anymore
So you start each expansion relic from scratch?
yea
well, you can skip the first step of HW's relic w/ a fully finished ARR relic by destroying the ARR relic
All market boards are connected?
Well they are slightly connected in terms of story but the old quests are not a requirement
the old relic will be obsolete by the endgame of the new expansion.
heck its obsolete halfway through leveling in expansion XD
But it still lasts you a while for levelling
That sucks so much
it lasts you 5-7 levels in the new expansion
i dont think markets are connected over servers.
They aren't
In GW2, once you get legendary it stay scaled to the best
homeworlds or servers?
but you can gate to doff server to see those marlet boards
relic is a time sink. you didnt grind it for best dmg. you grind it for achiv and shiny glowy badass weapon glam. high ilvl is bonus
markets are seperated by worlds
uhhh, I'd definitely say it being a good weapon is part of it.
but that's a topic for another day.
I don't want glowy badass weapon, I want that staff that sprouts flower when drawn that I saw in a video =w=
it's useful if you are slow in progging savage
At least you can glamour weapon o.o
or are more casual in raiding
There's 2 of them but ones the lv70 artifact weapon and the other is the final lv80 relic both for whm
That I know of
Which Grand Company should I choose?
The only differences between the three Grand Companies are the looks of the equipment and where they're located. The story doesn't change in regards to the Grand Company you choose beside the quest that comes after "The Company You Keep". Here is a link leading to sample sets from each of the Grand Companies:
How do I get Grand Company Seals?
You can get more seals mainly by completing your Grand Company Hunting Log (Go to the Hunting Log and click on the GC icon), completing FATEs, and turning in crafted/gathered items to the Personnel Officer if you have crafting or gathering classes unlocked. Once you are Sergeant 2nd Class you can turn in Pink/Green/Blue-rarity gear in exchange for more seals.
is this quests important? been searching a group for an hour now
the link in this faq shows off most of the sets
no.
damn you casn buy full 510 gear but that 520 grind is real lol
ye
FT would be worth more than starter cuz free
Also preordering EW won't give you stormblood/shadowbringers until the full launch
like party and grand company
so you'll be stuck at 60 until november
I mean, if it sets you back too much to buy base, complete & then EW in novemeber (or preorder) I'd say wait
money is the only real issue w/ this decision
5 months wait it is then
You can level a bunch of jobs to prepare
but i can only create one character per realm right??
you can play multiple jobs on one character
hmmm any recommendations for dps classes??
all of them
Grand Company is the easiest way to farm glamour prism right?
That and level DoH/DoL jobs
Depends on what you prefer, you can go casters or melee dps
GC > PVP (IMO) > anything else
theres pros and cons to each
but all jobs are viable
You can just play what you find interesting
you can also work on your crafters and gatherers, but I assume on a limited inventory with no retainers or MB that it will be troublesome
so if im a 60 WHM and i wanna change to lancer
i would start at lv 1 again right?
yes
depends on the class
but you can switch back at any time
but would i be able to swap back to WHM
HW classes start at 30
ohhhhh i seee
drk and ast start at 30
But yeah, later jobs start at higher lvls
And, as a sidenote, you also need higher levels to unlock them
pretty insightful

does DNC and GNB start at 60?
yes
Do you need to be in the same world as a free company to join?
Or is that not necessary?
not only be in the same world, it needs to be your homeworld
Oh ok
how many weekly quests for the nier weekly do we need to do b4 we see the ending?
6
thx
I have 1 missed Aether current from the green (exploring) ones. Is there a way to see which one it is? Its the 4th from left.
Like is there a pattern to finding them or anything similar.
Press the aethercompass and it will point you towards it

Serpentchocobo?
A god amongst primals

i here there was a gear progression faq somewhere...?
ive gots to ilvl505 and its getting abit.. iunno, unclear 
What's the best way to lvl DoL again? 1-50 is leves and beast tribe right?
hey where do i get the soul crystal to choose my job?
!faq job
To unlock your class' job you need to be level 30, complete all of your class quests and the main scenario quest 'Sylph Management' (lvl 20 quest) to be able to pick up your job unlock quest. Once you've done the initial unlock quest, you will be given a soul crystal which you must equip to become your class' job.
most likely you gotta do more class quests/level up
just entered potd for the first time and there was a screen on the right side that opened. something about a silver coffer and something something of return.
accidentally closed that window. how do i open it again?
Question if I try to play another class in a same character, how can I level up when I finish all of MSQ ?
!faq altlvlguide
it's pinned
On PC, how do i get to First Person View?
press the Home key
holy shit, theres first person view?
there is, but you don't see much action
It's great for screen shots
this is incredible
thanks! yea i know but i just wanna use it for like screens and just check out my high level friends cool mounts and gear better :p
muh immersion
You haven't truly played ffxiv if you haven't cleared a raid in first person mode
what do class quests look like? are they the blue ones?
Well, yes they are like blue ones
They appear under your msq tracker
Blue quests are just stuff that unlocks.. something
Blue quests unlock A new feature or dungeon or the likes
I’d put a great majority of them to be worth doing
alright thanks ill start doing them
!faq questicons
- These are how you reach the endgame and every other bit of content is locked behind it to some extent. MANDATORY
- These unlock a feature, instanced content, job actions, or a thing that is important for you to have. Do the ones related to your job/class and ones that unlock new content
- These usually have very little exp/gil as reward and are usually just part of the world/lore expansion. Mostly optional unless you are interested in doing them for the fluff
- These are quests you can do more than once, how often you can repeat it is up to the individual quest.
how much sks is a bit iffy for drg? sometimes things feel off even though I swear I've done the rotation correctly (given, I'm working on a level 72 kit), but sometimes buffs just miss out or jumps just come off cd a bit too fast.
rn I've got uh, 2.35 gcd, so around 1400 sks - I know it barely matters while levelling, but I just want to see if it's me or the equipment
That's a better question for the balance but I'll have a peek
Bis uses a 2.5 and a 2.46 gcd so that's probably what you should aim for
Am I missing something? I hit 30 with my marauder and did my class quests but I don’t have the quest to unlock warrior?
Do I need to do more of the MSQ Or something
lvl 24~ msq "sylph-management"
Keep going, then
is there anyone that can help me im new and i bought the whale mount out the shop on and used steam and its not in my mail... is there something else i have to do
Anyone know what rank i need to get to Dalriada, Got to Zadnor at last
Just wait.
R25 for dalriada
and you have to progress the StQ story
well a slightly grind but not too bad at least
@open coral how long its been like 30 min lol
It can take anywhere from 5 minutes to over a day to receive shop items, especially if they're account-wide like the whale mount.
^^

ok so I know we should do every + quest?
but this one seems to be repeatable, can I safely ignore it?
As long as you have space in your mailbox, it will get to you. You can use the "request delivery" button if your box was full and you just cleared out space, but you'll have to wait a little while longer, still.
Yes, you can ignore that quest if you want.
yes its one of those weekly quest repeats
You also don't have to do every 
but some of those quests do unlock stuff for either later or then and there
I suffered through 3 extream primals and I'm not about to give up now =w=
like the quest at Wight
well if you've started it lol, good luck with the primals
"Suffered". I suppose if you did them in DF the level 50 extremes could be considered suffering.
Titan Ex is still traumatic
i remember doing that at 50 :/
My fc pals decided to drag me into Titan ex cause they needed 1 more person
I did them synced ><
Why
masochist
becuase I didn't know I could unsync
pc or consule @astral bolt
pc
Well, you can, and you should. Get a level 80 friend to carry you.
ah ok need someone who plays pc to tell ya
i'm console
honestly Titan ex wasn't that bad
The "how" is the same no matter what @ember vault
I lost count of the time I got killed by Ifrit ex though
Titan Ex with 120 gear was a trip I don't want to take again
We're getting off topic though.
ok I'll ask another question about Bozja, anyone link me an exp rank list im at 17 atm
Rank? Oh, like how much mettle it takes for each level?
yes
anyways, who do I give Rowena's Token to?
Uh, hang on, let me see if I can dig one up.
r25 takes 25mil mettle
Is it considered rude if you are off tank and the main tank is about to get killed while the healers haven't healed in a while, so you wanna be nice and raise aggro to become main tank instead just so the other tank won't be killed? I had some people in the trial getting upset over that, but in a former trial, I had people getting upset at me for not helping out the other tank. The social etiquette in this game is still pretty confusing to me, but can someone tell me what the right thing to do is so that I know for the future? Like I was not fighting to be main tank, only wanted to help and prevent them from dying :' D
nevermind I found it, thanks ^^"
they probably weren’t about to get killed, and the healers were about to heal em
Healers have abilities that heal more if the tank is low
There's one here: https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/The_Bozjan_Southern_Front
you can let tank health drop a lot
wat is dis and why does it hit like a truck?
thanks
also invulns, invulns exist
That is a B-rank Hunt
!action benediction
thats Rare mark for hunting, they're a cut above normal mobs
!action excogitation
It's like a field boss.
Grants self or target party member the effect of Excogitation, restoring HP when member's HP falls below 50% or upon effect duration expiration.
Cure Potency: 800
Duration: 45s Additional Effect: Increases Faerie Gauge by 10
Aetherflow Gauge Cost: 1
Oh okay, thanks for telling me
do they have a nice drop or an achievement or something? do i need someone to help me with it?
Many healers play the how low can you go game
if you have the hunting bill for it yes
i'm not sure, i don't think so
They don't really have any special drops, but you can get good rewards if they're the weekly target. If you're at or around the same level, they need at least a Light (4-man) party to kill, generally speaking.
its best to take on unqiue hunts with decent gear, though back up does help
Lower level ones can usually be soloed.
However A and S-rank hunts always need a party.
They'll murder you.
then theres the S rank ones, you'll know them when you see them
Playing with your team’s lives is the most exciting part of being a healer
Kaiser Behemoth, Formidable are ones you do not approach alone
Health is a resource for spamming more glares!
are these the correct stats for a black mage?
You're level 48, so sure.
Prolly
you don’t need to worry about stats yet
Secondary stats don't really matter until max level.
more of an endgame concern.
Looks good you'll have access to level50 gear with the black mage quest soon
As long as you're not exclusively equipping gear with Mind or Piety, you're fine.
Black Mage job gear is specfically tuned for that class
does anyone know which fragment gives essence of the spiritfighter
I assume that's a bad translation because that's not a thing that exists
why does Zadnor gear look like stripper gear lol
what's the effect?
It doesn’t, it’s based off the main party of ff12.
and other characters in ff12.
If you mean Essence of the Martialist, that's from Forgotten Fragment of Skill
Why are ff12 characters strippers
I'm.. not the biggest fan of the zadnor gear, but I.. don't see "stripper" here at all.
Hmm, I haven't played for around a year, but is this normal? Or did i accidentally uninstall the game when not looking or something
can i level with my friends if i pick rogue as a starting job?
you can’t start as rogue
If it's been a year you've got a bunch of patches to install.
60gb worth of patches tho?
58gb is kind of excessive for patches
yes after the unlock quest
Iunno, some desert folk go the opposite and are covered head to toe to shade themselves from the sun
honestly suspect that you must've uninstalled it
not really the place for that kind of discussion though. #general-discussion ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Super offtopic fact: Depends on the desert
Dry and hot: cover yourself
thank you
Humid and hot: go less clothes
hello, what's the cooldown time for castrum lacus litore?
iirc it’s 30mins, but that can be sped up by doing CEs and skirmishes
30 minutes though it drops significantly the more fates are done
can i after the unlock quest?
damn Az was faster than me
yes
get to level 15
then you get access to it via doing the job quests
if memory serves
the fastest way to be rogue is start as MRD or ARC
how are people getting both timeworn artifacts and raw emotions from DR at the same time?
ah i see, thanks
do you not need the quests for them to drop?
stacking the quests with multiple jobs
ohh.
I have the last step open on my GNB, the second to last open on my WAR
you can have multiple quests active at the same time
ez double dip
so it’s beneficial to do multiple relics simultaneously
thanks!
in theory you could have every step active at once so you’re gaining everything at the same time
yes though I recommend not overloading the amount of active quests... though thats a personal preference
I just became a red mage but i have no gear, how do i get gear, the stuff i can equip is all way lower then level 50
Ironworks
get some ironworks for poetics
the quest should’ve given you gear
The initial quest would sort you out with starting gear
ah i needed to open the coffer! thank you
I remember the first time I got a coffer
im laughing thanks everyone!!
Sure thing!
copied factory only has the girl android glam? no male set?
Yeeup, only 2B’s set
wdym, its both.
its only 2b for the glam set
but yeah it’s not genderlocked
but the gear from copied factory itself is based on 2b and 9s depending on gender
yeah i can wear it but im not wearing a dress on my lion lmao
I’ve only played for 3 months and have been focused on one job (BLM) for savage prog. I’m starting to level another job for fun (DRK) and feel like I’m doing something wrong. I only have 3 hours a night to play, and it takes me ~2 of them to do all roulettes that only give me ~2 levels. I rest in cities, I use the 30% earrings, I use food and I have FC buff. Should I be doing anything differently like prioritizing something instead of daily roulettes?
Or is this just the normal pace of leveling now that I’m in the mid 60s
Only levelling and msq roulette give good exp
alliance/leveling/msq roulette are the top 3 for exp
And msq roulette can easily be an hour gone if you get prae
frontline roulette is slightly below
and frontline!
Usually people do things whilst waiting for dungeon queues
but yeah after 50 leveling slows down a lot, i usually only get about a level a day
so those 4 are the ones you should focus on, tho msq/frontline can be left to the side
beast tribes and weekly challenges help too
Huh I redid that trial just now and was main tank this time. Now the other tank did what I did last time, but surprisingly, no one commented on it or got upset like they did with me in the previous run. I wonder if I just had a better party this time?
Palace of the Dead is ok for 50 to 60
are all heavensward jobs available to free trial users? am wanting to try out dark knight
yep
that is possible
all but stormblood and shadowbringers is available to free trail players
so 13/17 of the combat classes
Yes but you need to actually get to heavensward
thats honestly great marketing
players will fall in love with the game and decide to buy it
Using Provoke to save the main tank is a viable strat, idk why ppl would be mad about that
ive already decided i will buy expansion but not just yet
ive been leveling the rogue now till 10 by doing fates and sidequests, i assume theres no other way to level rn other than that?
!faq altlvlguide
fates and sidequests are terrible xp sources
thank u
That's what I thought too! I wasn't angry at that other tank who helped me either. So I guess it was probably just a bad encounter with that previous party
i mainly did hunting log till lv 20, then dungeons
Palace of the Dead
must be level 17(or 19 I don't remember) to initially unlock tho?
is palace of the dead that endless floored dungeon ive heard of?
cause if your main class is above that then you can unlock it with that
pretty much
not endless tho, has 200 floors
the only "brutal" thing is 2nd behemoth
ohh ok, might give it a go, currently 99% to lv 49 on my rogue, need to lv a bit for msq
my first group run ended on 199
whats that raid/dungeon where you need 4x mage?
?
Blue mages?
Blue Mages are a special case, they are wastly more powerful than regular jobs at the same level
I don't think blue mage is required for any raid
you need to complete a bunch of trials & stuff as a full party (8 player) as Blue Mage for the Morbol Mount
BLUs aren’t required for anything, yeah.
its side content
ohh that must be it, i was watching a mount video the other day
Mount tho
Just like being a Lalafell its not required
yeah not required for that either
beat T5,T9,and T13 of coils with min ilvl blue
well i still have a long way to go anyways, only just rescued the peeps from the centrum place
(msq)
have fun w/ the movies ||Castrum & Prae||
Ah you have the Netflix run soon
should i spec my chocobo into healing as a solo dragoon?
hahaha, not gonna click that spoiler
make sure to not waste that free fantasia
you can spec chocobos?
healer choco is always decent
ye, healer is probs the better choice, tank cho' you'll usually just rip aggro from
Healer bird is the only really good bird
alright
yes, healer tree is arguably the best choice for chocobo
thanks for the advice guys
The 400 iq move is getting all the trees but that's expensive
focus on healer (unless you main healer)
also guys, how does the payment work? is it a one time for the expansion and then subscription after that?
or time consuming (cuz gardening)
yep
as long as doncheadle is in healer stance i dont have to manually tell him to heal do i?
also does he dps at all or no
free stance is all you need
In free stance it does everything
ok
he'll heal and DPS as necessary
That you accolades points qo
ai is pretty good
gotcha
thats a name lol
thanks guys
and does the one time expansion come with x amount of months of subscription?
No
only starter and complete
so whats the subscription for then?
free stance does as well, although a bit less than as "pure" healer.
Healer stance disables the cho from doing anything other than healing.
it'll swap back to free stance after logging out - so if you prefer healer stance you'll have to tell it to go into it again.
okk so id have to pay expansion + sub then
Yes
yea dont be a fool like me and buy a 60 day sub card thinking u can use that to allow you to get the free butterfinger mount
Expansions are only every 2 year
or do im not your boss
ill probably get the 6 months then if there is one and see how elden ring goes ahaha
ER isn’t coming till jan anyways so you’ll have time :3

Hi quick q. Are the Yafaemi set, drop exclusive? Can they also be exchanged from tokens?
drop only
Hey guys, a friend and me starting playing ffxiv together and we are in different starting zones at what lvl can we aprox play the mainstory together if we just do the main quests?
that said, some of the yafaemi sets do have crafted gear that shares the same model
level 15
the msq converges at level 15
level 15 of the Main Story.
"It's probably Pirates"
im looking for the dragoon one
that should also have a crafted lookalike, I think?
yes, facet
sadly, im just free trial
no
yes
the facet sets are a mess so no worries lmao
don’t understand why they didn’t just make them all the dun scaith sets
garlond says maiming is same as fending
also a raid XD
i wanted to try the HUD macro thing but i always fail is there a text guide here
yes, but facet is a different set
!iglam facet mail of fending
!iglam facet mail of maiming
yes, that's why facet of maiming isn't listed in garlond as shared model
guys whats the db website again?
the one that switch between jobs and other stuff

How do I get there?
you need to go back to the tower, and head to the middle floor where the white dragon is laying
Second floor of anyx trine
Go up anyx trine and thru the cave at the top
that has a bridge that leads into the mountain side
i guess i just have to grind that raid
do people even come to that raid
they take forever to fill
They do, but since it doesn’t lock any content or have msq relevance it’s not as common
Im around there. Been looking for the last 2 hours 😄
yes, go up anyx trine
go to the 2nd floor
the staircase in the tower
not the very top
you're going inside the mountain
i got stuck there too hahaha
where should i go to get people for a level 80 treasure map?
party finder
If I upgrade to the standart edition now can i play up to the newest expansion or do i have to buy all previous expansions?
starter edition does not have any new story content
if you're on free trial and want to buy the rest of the game, complete edition is your best option
someone know how to leveling fast bluemage?
So as i understood now i only have to buy shadowbringer right?
If you're on console the shadowbringers disc version is still half off, saves you 20 over complete edition
have someone high level with you,
go to a high level area (70-72 ish) & have them kill the enemies after you tag them.
well i'm alone i dont have friend on zodiark to do that with me ._.
then just slap enemies your level
do you own the base game? starter edition?
shadowbringers is a dlc
you cannot buy dlc for a game you don't own
@manic runeI just upgraded from the trial to standard so i can inv my friend who are still on trial. So from what i understood if you buy the newest expansion you will get all the previous expansion within that buy, could i just buy the expansion that will come out in 5 months and get shadowbringer included in that too or does that only work when its actually released.
Are beast tribe ARR quests good for leveling 40-50?
yes if you just upgraded from the free trial, you just buy shadowbringers
IF you buy endwalker now, you won't get shadowbringers until release
^
Ait thanks I got it now. Ty for the help
they're ok but not great
I'm trying to level BLM and oh my gosh it sucks to level up DPS classes
Hey, so i already have a steam account of ff14. but planned getting back into it and buy the game+exp from square directly. can i have both "accounts" on same square account, or do i have to make a new one. sorry if this is confusing
sqaudrons are better
the only thing that changes is what launches the game
the answer is you can use the same account for both
Hi new to the game. Level 23 arcanist and want to be summoner. Ik I have to be level 30 arcanist and level 15 ice and fire mage (can’t spell it) so when I’m 30 arcanist and switch to level up the other class what do I do? Side quests and fates until I’m 15 and then unlock summoner? Or is there a better way
Hey, any Warrior player that have his Resistance Weapon attributes adjusted? Having a hard time with this 
!faq job
To unlock your class' job you need to be level 30, complete all of your class quests and the main scenario quest 'Sylph Management' (lvl 20 quest) to be able to pick up your job unlock quest. Once you've done the initial unlock quest, you will be given a soul crystal which you must equip to become your class' job.
that's old info
You don't need multiple classes to unlock jobs any more
Hasnt been that way for a long time
CRIT DET and some SKS
Wait so I just reach level 30 in arcanist and I can become summoner? I’ve been doing all my class quests
yes
Pog ty
Provided you msq is far enough
there's a separate quest to actually get the Job stone
Msq?
Oh yeah. Do MSQ first always
Main story
main story locks 90% of the game
Ah yeah I’m at the point where I have to do cooper dungeon in desert
SMN is special in that it requires specific MSQ quests to progress
So just be aware lol
Yeah I want to do all msq
Ye, that's why I asked here, Im not sure how much skill speed I need to fit into this bad boy to make it viable. Otherwise I have a general Idea what stats to focus on.
are you doing savage?
I dunno really about Resistance weapons but I always follow what The Balance provides as BIS
you want to fit 5 fell cleaves inside inner release
and have a decent gcd to align upheavals
which gshade preset you prefer guys?
if you don't care about the later, then anywhere from 2.45 downwards works
Mainly trying to do content solo as a challenge and we have a plan to make guild and start doing savage content so ye, prob
the ones that put my fps to 10 @latent river
!faq balance
how does that affect my ability to buy and preoder? can i buy the expansions and preorder on square, or does that have to be done through steam? which i've heard is more expensive and often has trouble with preorders
but if you do care about upheaval alignment, the least shitty ranges are 2.37, 2.38, 2.43 this tier
you need just shy for 1620 ish skill speed to hit 2.37
If you buy expansions on SE store, they will not be compatible with the Steam version and visa versa
Tentative.
Use the !faq tankcalc to challenge these sets.
Prog sets:
2.38 GCD - Chicken Fettuccine
2.43 GCD - Smoked Chicken
Emerald Weapon is a big increase use it.
BIS sets:
2.37 GCD - Chicken Fettuccine
Some TNC melds for tiering
2.38 GCD - Smoked Chicken
Unlucky stat tiering, lower dps than 2.37 GCD.
2.43 GCD - Smoked Chicken
Some TNC melds for tiering
OMG Im in love with so much data, thank you so much guys! 
oh that's useful lol. Nice faq command
the actual page on the balance itself has updated with relic too
the balance is all data all day
Does divine veil only put shields up with gcd heals?
I think it's literally any healing
that's been cast on you or party
So not healing potions
thank you. while i don't want to make a new account, it seems to be the better option, and just go with a new square account
yes, only spells with upfront heal potency
you don't need a new square account
ie fairy's embrace triggers it, WHM's regen does not
? so regen buff of any kind doesnt?
like I use the steam version of ffxiv, but my actual square account could be used to log into the playstation version
Restores target's HP.
Cure Potency: 200
Diurnal Sect Effect: Regen
Cure Potency: 200
Duration: 15s
Effect cannot be stacked.
Nocturnal Sect Effect: Erects a magicked barrier which nullifies damage equaling 250% of the amount of HP restored
Duration: 30s
Effect cannot be stacked with scholar's Galvanize.
Can only be executed while under the effect of Diurnal Sect or Nocturnal Sect.
regen gives you the regen buff, asp bene heals you a bit and gives you regen buff
veil needs the "heals you a bit" part
really? when im on my square it says account type: steam. and i can't add a stand alone nor a way to unlink the steam one
How about star, horoscope, and excog?
all of those are oGCDs, so unfortunately no
Oh I see. Perhaps there is a problem with overlapping Windows version licenses
i found the option to add another service account. could that be it?
is there a universal bis for striking set? 
nope

Ultimate/Unreal Sync ''BIS'' Sets:
Community gear sets for synced encounters can be found here.
Can I usnync lv70 duties to get raw emotions? It doesn't say in the description that unsync can't be enabled.
they might change that after EW releases, but currently its not allowed
what is direct hit rate? currently choosing between 2 earrings and have to choose between crit hit and direct hit rate (am a ninja)
okk is that mainly for casters then?
whereas crit is more powerful and the substat increases both frquncy and damage
no
EVERY SINGLE CLASS wants it
for all jobs, except healers cause they can't direct hit heals
but still good for dps optimization
it's the materia you slap on to any class, since damage is king
okk thank you, i'll have to look into what these stats mean
!faq stats
if you're leveling then just worry about itemlevel
you want ilvl first when leveling
secondaries don't matter until level cap
substats and materia literally do not matter until cap

@tender hull
Can someone please help me to start play the game. i just cannot figure it out what to do with all the codes its destroying my mind.
!faq mogstation
@supple wave that's where you put in your codes
