[warm snow]

You've been spoiled up to this point

Oh yeah mind

[trail elk]

no like I did the void ark on before this

[dire prawn]

Mind

[trail elk]

and that one was fast too

[warm snow]

That's cuz it's faster than mhach

So people were farming it for a relic step

And still are

[dire prawn]

You do realize what time it is for NA right?

[leaden ginkgo]

Is it mandatory to have a range DPS or is it preferred to have a balance of DPS types for buff spreads?

[warm snow]

Not mandatory but too good to ignore

[faint flare]

Having a ranged dps adds another 1% to all main stat

[glossy flare]

The buff spread is something most people pay attention to, but you can technically clear stuff with say 4 melees

[warm snow]

A +1% buff to hp and your main stat for each different role in your party

[faint flare]

Which is significant

[kindred frost]

Well my question was. Would it make sense to focus on crit as a healer or healing output stat like mind etc. Just asking coz crit also benifits your dps. And heals crit more often possibly out weighing bonus from mind etc?

[faint flare]

Yes

[kindred frost]

I'm still in early game anyway

[faint flare]

But mind is top priority

[dire prawn]

Yes

[faint flare]

Main stat >>>>> substats

[kindred frost]

Ohh

[hollow saddle]

Mm okay so I must still be doing something wrong with this crafting.. I have level 53 crafting gear trying to do the level 53 leatherworking quest and I simply cannot HQ this. It just takes too much quality 🤷‍♀️

[dire prawn]

Mind > Crit > Det, don't think DH is as important since heals can't DH

[leaden ginkgo]

aaaaaaah ok I was not aware of the 1% buff per role, it's all coming together now

[faint flare]

DH is fine for healers if you're going for more DPS focus

[kindred frost]

Thanks

[warm snow]

The closest thing to a dead stat on healer is piety but it's still useful especially while you're learning

[faint flare]

Det is less damage but slightly more healing

[kindred frost]

Good to know

[glossy flare]

piety is still the go to "I have no other option" stat, but I think BiS doesn't meld it all right now

[warm snow]

Depends on the set you're going with afaik

But spo0ky doesn't need to worry about that just yet

[glossy flare]

true

[dire prawn]

Also depends on the healer

[obsidian patio]

I must note that you should never try to completely avoid piety, since low/no piety builds basically assume your party is playing perfectly and not taking avoidable damage/deaths.

[warm snow]

In what fucking fantasy land!?

[obsidian patio]

In BiS builds.

[dire prawn]

This is correct, the actual recommendation is Piety to a point you're comfortable at then Crit > DH = Det

[obsidian patio]

though if you don't do savage, full Blades/deepshadow cryptlurker/augmented exarchic usually loads you with enough piety

[warm snow]

*cryptlurker

[obsidian patio]

yep that

[leaden ginkgo]

this means i own all the expansions right?

[glossy flare]

correct

on windows at least

[leaden ginkgo]

okay thanks

[warm snow]

Until November

[scenic scarab]

For the ShB relic, is it faster to do HW raids or the SB FATEs?

[warm snow]

Do fates while queuing for raids

It's still rng so you might as well do both

[scenic scarab]

Ahhh okay, I was thinking FATE was guaranteed

[faint flare]

They're not

[warm snow]

Not for that step

[faint flare]

For haunting/vexing

[glossy flare]

sadly not, otherwise it would be faster

[faint flare]

Thankfully it's one time only

[scenic scarab]

Sweet, thanks guys!

[green grail]

i stuck with fates since in level cap zones they can be solo'd very easily and you can do like 10 of them in the time you'd be done with one alliance raid

and you'd have to be like the unluckiest person not to get a single memory in 10 fates

[warm snow]

/wave

Hi I'm like the unlockiest person

[green grail]

i think my longest streak with no memories was maybe 6 or 7

[stable grail]

Hello

For bozja gear/armor
zandor is a different set right but upgradable one for haste is only from 1st zone?

[random girder]

yes

there is also an augmented laws order from dr savage

well, you get the parts for augments from drs

[upper cove]

Is it possible to unsync solo castrum albania as a lvl 80?

[stable grail]

what do you mean? @random girder

[leaden ginkgo]

[obsidian patio]

assuming like i500 gear, definitely.

any class should do fine if they have a bit of self-sustain

[random girder]

the normal bozjan set is augmented with parts you can buy for bozjan coins

the laws order set which you get for gold coins from delubrum reginae can be upgraded with parts from delubrum savage

but the zadnor set cannot be upgraded

[stable grail]

which is laws order set

from zandor?

[upper cove]

@obsidian patio aight thanks. I have a pld with full exarchic. Should be fine!

[random girder]

laws order is from delubrum reginae

blades set is from zadnor

[stable grail]

and where do i get laws order set?

[faint flare]

From gold coins

[glossy flare]

Delubrum, like they said

[faint flare]

From that

[glossy flare]

you get the coins from running Delubrum and you can spend those on the laws order gear

(or rather you get silver coins which you can exchange into gold coins... it's weird)

[faint flare]

Bojzan gear Is 495, law order is 510....blade set is 525

Only bojzan and law order can be augmented for Haste

[stable grail]

i see

[pearl mesa]

How long does support usually take to deal with "hacked account" problems?

[stable grail]

so then, you can only get haste from 5 pieces of gear, correct?

[faint flare]

• Bojzan earrings

For 6 pieces

[leaden ginkgo]

what's the best way to level blue mage from level 1? is it to tag a 59 mob and have someone kill it or a 69 mob?

[faint flare]

Full set of armour + Bojzan earrings

[faint flare]

Yes but on lv70 mobs

Khlosuia beach is a good spot

[elfin gate]

Does anyone know what "NA" & "NA Legacy" mean when choosing a world to start in? T_T

[faint flare]

Legacy means nothing

To new players

[leaden ginkgo]

oh i thought that it has to be lvl 69? or 70 works

[faint flare]

70 works

[stable grail]

where can i get the earrings if you dont mind me asking?
And so then laws order gear simply drops from the raid then?
Sorry, im just very new to bozja gearing stuff still...

[faint flare]

Someone in my FC told me my account was being used for spam. It was already suspended by the time I tried to log in. I've submitted a support ticket (including an explanation of why the name on my account and on my passport are different, and an offer to get them verifying info). How long am I looking at for recovery, if it's possible?

[faint flare]

The raid drops coins you use to buy the gear

[obtuse dust]

Best way to get a class to level 15 - without MSQ

[faint flare]

Hunting logs and fates to round it out

[warm root]

there used to be a site for making crafting macros easy, u simply clicked on the skills and it made a copy paste macro for the game. Does any1 know if the site is still up or if there is anything similar to it ?

[heavy wadi]

Probably a few days, based on the experience of fc mates.

[faint flare]

Teamcraft

[stable grail]

where can i find the npc that sells the gear, i want to see how it looks

[obtuse dust]

Forgot about hunting logs, ty

[warm root]

sweet thanks alot!

[faint flare]

Supplier in Gangos

[stable grail]

not in bozja front or zandor?

[faint flare]

It's basically the 12 judge arnour

It's in gangos

[stable grail]

alright, thank you

[faint flare]

Cause delubrum is in Gangos

[astral bolt]

can I get glamour of those funny goggles that the scions kept using?

[pearl mesa]

Oh, that's good to hear. Is the name thing likely to be an issue? I'm trans and had the account under my new name, but my passport/DL are still under my old name. I offered to get them the medical paperwork if they wanted.

[heavy wadi]

Probably not, I'd say? May take slightly longer but I'm not super certain.

[stable grail]

woah is that like the first armor set (laws order) with actual cape?

[heavy wadi]

But yeah, definitely have your medical records ready, just in case

[fiery gust]

Hey guys anyone know how many crystal sand I need for a dream fulfilled

[forest iron]

Can i complete my mrd's main quest with my new rogue

[obsidian patio]

60-80 depending on RNG, probably closer to 70

[obsidian patio]

class/job quests must be done as the class/job they're for.

[forest iron]

i think those quests are main story line

[fiery gust]

Oh I thought I needed to fill the all the attributes

[random girder]

i dont think so , closest i can find is ydas set on online store

[obsidian patio]

just 240 points worth. the first 40 sands are always worth 3 points, and the ones after can be from 3 to 6 points.

[fiery gust]

Thank you!

[obsidian patio]

story can be done as any combat job as long as they're a high enough level

if you mean these

[faint flare]

Thats story

[forest iron]

so i need to reach 13 before this quest and return to the main story

[faint flare]

See the icon at the top

Yes

You need to be lv13 to do it

[raven dew]

hey guys quick question. say i wanted to swap my summoner to a melee job would that be possible? or can you only change into jobs that the base class allows? like arcanist into ast and summ?

[faint flare]

Yes

You can be everything

[raven dew]

oh cool

[faint flare]

Every job is separate

[warm snow]

You need to beat your starter jobs level 10 quest first

But from there you can do whatever

[forest iron]

hey also how do i level with my trial friends can we que dungeons together?

[faint flare]

Do story to unlock dungeons.

You need someone to invite you to a party if you're all on trial

Story is MANDATORY for anything

[left whale]

so after doing some hunt trains, ive noticed people do like being in parties..
although i dont see the purpose of it

is there something i ought know about battending trains in a party?

[obsidian patio]

being in a party makes it easier to get max credit for maximum rewards

[warm snow]

Being in a party gets buffs for variety, you also have access to a healer

[leaden ginkgo]

i didnt get the aether in kagune and i need to go to the ruby sea, how can i go back to kagune? in limsa lower the dude with the ship doesnt have a point for kagune 😦

[left whale]

yeah... that is true
having to heal myself wasnt pleasant

[forest iron]

thank you so we will open lfg at some point for dungeons

[obsidian patio]

try talking to one of the NPCs in the SE corner of the ruby sea where you entered the zone from kugane

[leaden ginkgo]

i cant get to ruby sea either

[warm snow]

Duty finder is matchmaking, you can't use the party finder or form parties on your own on free trial though

[obsidian patio]

I think airship landings in the city-states might take you to kugane now too.

[leaden ginkgo]

nope the airship doesnt take me to kagune 😦 seems like its over

[faint flare]

It's an npc at Limsa docks

Will take you to kugane

[humble epoch]

Approved Grade 4 Skybuilders' Hemp how the hell do i get this

[faint flare]

The diadem

All skybuilder mats are in the diadem

[humble epoch]

as botanist?

[faint flare]

It's hemp so I would imagine so

[obsidian patio]

it should be one of the NPCs near the anchor icon in Limsa Lominsa lower decks, from what I'm reading

[random girder]

this one @leaden ginkgo

the anchor

[humble epoch]

can't farm?

[heavy wadi]

And when you get back there, be sure to attune to the kugane aetheryte

[leaden ginkgo]

yea i was at the wrong anchor 😦

thanks ❤️ @random girder

[heavy wadi]

You don't have an offhand tool equipped

Like the message says

[humble epoch]

what do i need in offhand?

[obsidian patio]

any

[faint flare]

Scythe

Are botanist off hand

Your job quest gives you your first

[forest iron]

so we cant do dungeons together as a free trials?

[faint flare]

You need someone to invite you

before you que

[warm snow]

If you get a non free trial player to form a party for you you can

[humble epoch]

ah

[faint flare]

Ask people in say chat

[warm snow]

But you can't form your own

[forest iron]

yes someone help us before wtih party

thank you all for the helps ill be back for more noob questions

[fervent garden]

how do you make it so you change pose faster naturally?

[acoustic pagoda]

Hey anybody ever ran into the issue where you buy shadowbringers on steam, log into the game and the game pretends you don't have it? XD

[green grail]

did you add the code to your account on mogstation

[obsidian patio]

Did you enter the product key on the mogstation?

[acoustic pagoda]

ahh, okay. Nope I did not do that.

Ok, ima try figure that out.

Official Launcher Giving you Trouble on Updates?

Try this alternative 3rd party launcher

[manic rune]

try that

[young steppe]

So I just unlockedt he 1st dungeon in ShB and was wondering if the AI is good enough for me to do it with them or if I should just wait for party

[faint flare]

They are yes

They do mechanics

[alpine shadow]

they are good

[heavy wadi]

They do all mechs perfectly

[alpine shadow]

they also do story

[heavy wadi]

But they lack damage

[faint flare]

But you'll always clear in like 30mins

[manic rune]

probably better than most parties lol

[alpine shadow]

"perfectly"

[faint flare]

Sadly

[heavy wadi]

Yes, perfectly

[young steppe]

Who should I pick if I am the DPS?

[faint flare]

Any

[manic rune]

any

whatever characters you like more

[leaden ginkgo]

is entry the first month only?

[young steppe]

Aah ok

[manic rune]

no

[young steppe]

no

[alpine shadow]

entry is all the time monthly, if you choose so

[young steppe]

monthly

but cheaper by 2

[leaden ginkgo]

oh wait

is that the only difference the character limit?

[alpine shadow]

yeah

[faint flare]

Yes

[young steppe]

yes

[leaden ginkgo]

oh

i had no idea 💀

[young steppe]

No diff if you pay 6 mths actually

[alpine shadow]

you only need 1 character anyway

[young steppe]

if you are a hardcore player

You can create 8 characters

and have 16 retainers

[leaden ginkgo]

if i have 8 per server can they be in the same world

or nah

[young steppe]

16 x 20 = 320 simultaneous auction

[faint flare]

Worlds are servers

[young steppe]

yes

same world

[leaden ginkgo]

oh okay

[young steppe]

if you buy new retainers

they are shared with all characters in the same world

so no luck of getting compounding* auctions

[leaden ginkgo]

idek how retainers work yet tbh i skimmed thru cus i was still on free trial during that part of the game

[faint flare]

They're your bank

And how you sell on market board

[leaden ginkgo]

o

[young steppe]

in all honesty, don't bother buying 14.99 unless you really want to make more than 1 char on 1 world

[mild fox]

individual retainers can be bought for a limited time

[leaden ginkgo]

how many do i have rn i’m still on my free 30 days

[young steppe]

2

[faint flare]

2 free

[leaden ginkgo]

oh ok

[faint flare]

And you're not on free trial

[young steppe]

best to get 3 but not really necessary either

[faint flare]

So you can get them

[leaden ginkgo]

so i put shit into my retainer and leave it there until people buy it? or is it a bit more complicated

[obsidian patio]

Also you don't "buy" them for a limited time, the mogstation retainers are additions to the monthly sub, each being $2.50

[mild fox]

it's giving me the same error

[faint flare]

You list items via the retainers

[young steppe]

yes

[obsidian patio]

you specifically set it for sale and decide the price

[leaden ginkgo]

o

ok that’s nice

[manic rune]

if xivlauncher doesn't help then i'm not sure, sorry

[mild fox]

thx anyway

[alpine shadow]

same error on the xivlauncher??

send a screenshot

[manic rune]

are you launching the game with xivlauncher?

[young steppe]

Follow up question to my previous one, so from now on I can do dungeon with NPCs like GC?

[alpine shadow]

xivlauncher can't generate the exactly the same error message as the official launcher

[leaden ginkgo]

i’m on my free 30 days but can i pay for my next sub early

[manic rune]

no, that ends your 30 free days early

[leaden ginkgo]

oh ok

[alpine shadow]

they are almost like gc, but they are smarter, and they are connected to the player/story.

and yes, shb dungeons all support it

[manic rune]

and you don't need to use skills to control them like with squadrons

[next portal]

Are our levels all synced down to lvl 50 in dungeons? Den why are the bosses being killed so quickly?

[manic rune]

depends on the dungeon

[alpine shadow]

higher ilvl and stats

set to the max

[manic rune]

older level cap dungeons are pretty trivial bc of ilvl

[faint flare]

There's a massive ilvl jump at 50

Ie: castrum and praeotirum are designed for i45

[manic rune]

yeah you go from like i50 to i130

[next portal]

Take for example the preatorium. Sync to lvl 50. But everyones ilvl is higher den 50?

[faint flare]

But you're synced to i130

[torn flare]

Hey there I cant get teleport working even after ive used the crystals is there a quest or something?

[faint flare]

You're i130 in praeotirum when it's aimed for i45

[alpine shadow]

You did attune to your aetheryte?

[faint flare]

You literally have 90 ilvls over the content

[next portal]

Explains the 30secs boss fights

[torn flare]

is there a specific one I have to attune to?

[alpine shadow]

otherwise, you need to attune to multiple aetheryte to unlock teleport iirc?

[faint flare]

All of them

Rule 1: attune to ALL aetherytes

[ember vault]

the big one is the main one ya want to attune to

[pliant vector]

when unlocking dark knight, do you already start at lv 30?

[faint flare]

Yes

[ember vault]

yes

[alpine shadow]

you attune to the first aetheryte in the msq, and then you earn return.

[torn flare]

thats what happens when I click on it

[alpine shadow]

you need to attune to an another aetheryte, you can't teleport yet

[manic rune]

you need to attune with another big aetheryte to unlock it

[ember vault]

you're not attuned with the big crystals

[torn flare]

oh okey I know where one is

thanks guys ❤️

[alpine shadow]

there is one in uldah, but you already attuned to that one i think

since you have return

[torn flare]

xD

[alpine shadow]

and return teleports you to your first home aetheryte

[faint flare]

If it's a big Blue glowy crystal with an icon on the map

[torn flare]

so what then

[ember vault]

Also repping Uldah

[faint flare]

Go click it

[alpine shadow]

@torn flare you just need to unlock other aetherytes.

[torn flare]

oh

[faint flare]

There's aetherytes in basically every zone

[torn flare]

other big crystals?

[alpine shadow]

yes

you see them whilst going trough the msq

[ember vault]

ah yes if you only have 1 that'll also be why you haven't got more

[faint flare]

Rule 1: attune to aetherytes whenever you enter a new zone

[torn flare]

msq?

[faint flare]

First thing you should ever do

[alpine shadow]

[ember vault]

main story quests

[torn flare]

oh

[torn flare]

ight will do that

[pliant vector]

i'd recommend setting the main 3 cities you first visit as either home / favourite locations for cheaper tp

[torn flare]

all three or can I only choose one?

[pliant vector]

only 1 as home

[alpine shadow]

your home is already set

[pliant vector]

but the you can set up to 3 as favourites

i started in uldah but then set my home to limsa lominsa

[torn flare]

stonks it works now thanks guys

I forgot the command

[foggy marlin]

are wolf marks tradeable

[jade quartz]

No

[foggy marlin]

god i really dont want to do pvp for a cosmetic

[trail elk]

are there any quests where your choices actually affect the story

[jade quartz]

Yes

But never to a huge extent.

Biggest example is in Eureka, and to a lesser extent in Bozja

[shut panther]

Never in a terribly meaningful way

[faint flare]

Qitiri ever so slightly as it changes what monument is built

[heavy wadi]

There's a bit of choice in the nier quests as well

[faint flare]

If you count that

[winged fossil]

Hi all. I’m returning after a while away. I just got my AST to 80 (hooray). I’m on ShB MSQ. I have some other jobs up to 70-80, mainly the other magic/healer jobs. Trouble is I’ve basically forgotten how to play them all. I did a random levelling dungeon with my SCH yesterday and it was terrible for everyone else and traumatic for me. What are some suggestions for ways to practice my jobs without screwing up loads of other peoples game? Is soloing dungeons possible? Healing others not so much practice there though. I want to get some other jobs to 80 with the armoury bonus and the Menphina earring boost. Any ideas welcome that aren’t gonna piss everyone else off. Thanks!

[shut panther]

Sounds like a job for Trust

[leaden ginkgo]

there are discords with rotations for every job

[trail elk]

i just discovered like this practice thing after finishing HW msq yesterday

[winged fossil]

Trust…?

[leaden ginkgo]

or you can look for guides on youtube

[trail elk]

in dravanian hinterlands

[shut panther]

!faq trusts

[zinc orbit]

Error!

No tag named trusts exists, Kupo!

[shut panther]

Well.

[faint flare]

Trusts are shadowbringers npc dungeon runs

[shut panther]

https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/shadowbringers/trust/

[trail elk]

u can also do Potd

since you start off from lvl 1

with a class

[winged fossil]

Oh these are all great ideas!! I neglected potd first time round. Thanks all.

[shut panther]

Basically, trusts = dungeon run with NPCs

[winged fossil]

Ah gotta finish ShB MSQ first. Okay must knuckle down

[shut panther]

Kind of training wheels for healing because they don't do complete pulls like most high level tanks will do, but a good way to get back into it

You do? I didn't know

You can do your remaining msq dungeons with them at least

[winged fossil]

And maybe if I have to subject the public to me, maybe play my AST to get through the remaining dungeons. Or do my other roles with FC. It's really the healers that you're kinda most on the spot with. At least that's how it feels.

[shut panther]

That's what I mean, you can always use trust system for dungeons when you're doing them for msq

[winged fossil]

Fantastic. Thank you so much!

[leaden ginkgo]

I got my DK unlocked

thanks for everyone

and their help

Now i can uninstall

[next portal]

do i need to unlock odins trial?

[faint flare]

No

[next portal]

or is tt purely for lvl 50ilvl fun

[gusty island]

i dont want to accidentally spoil myself by googling the character, but could anyone look up for me who voices ||Ilberd|| in 2.4?
his voice sounds so familiar

[warm yacht]

If I have a set of pentamelded HQ exarchic gear, should I trade it in to the exchange in eulmore for the augmented exarchic gear even if it costs me my materia?

(a friend made it for me, I don't even have the materia quest done)

[faint flare]

In the English version of A Realm Reborn, Ilberd is voiced by Richard Epcar up the end of 2.55, who also voiced Gaius van Baelsar.

[true jolt]

whats the different outcome between the ending you choose during bozja? (please spoiler mark it >.<)

[obsidian patio]

none, really.

just minor dialogue changes.

[heavy wadi]

Yeah there’s not really a diff outcome, minor dialogue and animation changes.

[gusty island]

thanks 😄

[faint flare]

||How the roe girl dies really||

Either by your hands, the guy or no one

[true jolt]

eh so eureka option is more impactful than bozja

[true jolt]

||i deny her request so one of the blades kills her, so the other ending is she died from bleed?||

[faint flare]

||Yes. I let him decide then tried to do it myself and she died to bloodlost after the guy stopped the Pc||

[stable grail]

hello, for the quest "for want of a memory" you only get them from doing the fates in hw zones? is there other way to get them?

[true jolt]

ah thats ||what the you to decide|| option do. mine was ||she need a proper court or something similar to that||. thanks for telling me the other ending!

[true jolt]

you can also get the memory from doing skirmish (and CE) on BSF areas

[stable grail]

oh only bsf zone, not zandor

[faint flare]

The 3 colours drop more often from regular mobs than skirmishes In bsf

[torn flare]

is there something im missing or why is this quest red?

[heavy wadi]

put on the earrings it gave you

[torn flare]

oh shot

[heavy wadi]

says in the quest text at the top :p

[torn flare]

I thought I had to do /voice or something

xD

[gusty island]

what does a white text here mean?
i know red means not equippable by my current class
but im playing WAR and its not here, yet the text isnt red

[stray mason]

are the daily rewards for doing duty roullete seperate for each duty or do you just get one each day?

[gusty island]

seperate per roulette type

[heavy wadi]

it’s separate for each roulette

[warm yacht]

If I have a set of pentamelded HQ exarchic gear, should I trade it in to the exchange in eulmore for the augmented exarchic gear even if it costs me my materia? Is the iLvl increase worth it?

[manic rune]

520 gear > pentamelded 510

[heavy wadi]

^

[manic rune]

extract the materia first

[heavy wadi]

you don’t really need pentamelds anymore anyways tbh

but yeah extract it first

[manic rune]

pentamelds are for week 1 raiders

[warm yacht]

I don't think I can even attach materia to the aug set because I'm still on melding materia muchly lmao

[heavy wadi]

that quest takes like, 2 minutes

[next portal]

are all the +quest after completing ARR MSQ necessary?

will i be missing anything impt?

[random girder]

which ones

the extreme trials, no

the hard trials, forces you to do those in like 2 seconds

[limber linden]

so just unlocked summoner. if i level up summoner does arcanist level up too?

[random girder]

you will never touch arcanist again

what does level up with it, though

is scholar

which is just a free healer for playing summoner

or vice versa

[green grail]

you get arcanist exp as summoner and scholar

so yes

[next portal]

sorry wad do u mean

[limber linden]

okay so since im lazy, can i unlock scholar at level 80 and itll be a level 80 scholar?

[random girder]

the only + quests that matter are the ones that are integrated into msq

[random girder]

yes

but you can also grab it now to try it out

[limber linden]

okay ty

[obsidian patio]

Yes but no.

[random girder]

if you want fast dungeon queues, use sch

healers get super quick queues

[next portal]

how do i know which are they

[obsidian patio]

You still need to do the SCH job quests to get all the skills you missed.

[random girder]

the game tells you to do them

like,

you cant continue story until youve done them

just do msq until those pop up

[next portal]

so in summary, i can ignore the +quest for lvl 50?

i believe they are just a bunch of options to unlock hard dungeons and extreme trials?

[glossy flare]

still unlock content, especially at 50 there are a lot of dungeons

[random girder]

id recommend doing the dungeons for fun tbh

and some extra lore

but if you dont want to thats fair

[glossy flare]

Yeah, the "hard" tag for the dungeons doesn't mean anything

[warm yacht]

can you pentameld aug exarchic

[glossy flare]

They are not actually harder, just scaled to lvl 50

[green grail]

no

[next portal]

if i dont run them, they will be picked if i do duty roulette?

[glossy flare]

If you have them unlocked they can appear in duty roulettes, yeah

[leaden ginkgo]

So, how do you play this with your friends exactly??

Our mission is not even synced

[next portal]

oh, my ilvl is not high enough for the hard dungeons, cant clear the quest

[random girder]

go get ironworks gear in the starting cities

blue bag npcs next to aetherytes

weapon first, then chest and legs

[glossy flare]

The main story is largely a solo thing. Plus depending on which class you pick it may differ for the first 15 levels

[random girder]

and then everything else

[glossy flare]

However there are plenty of group activities later

Dungeons, raids, hunts

To name only a few

[small temple]

so i just hit 80 on the job i want to play, i already had an 80 and went through most of the MSQ. what gear should i be focusing on now if i want to do some end game content like trials or savage raids? what ilvl should i be aiming to hit

[leaden ginkgo]

There's nothing to do in overworld?

[glossy flare]

sure there is

Hunts happen in the overworld, as do fates for example

[random girder]

start with exarchic gear on the market board if you can spare the gil

starts you off at 510, which is enough to do savage raids

[small temple]

i bought a few pieces to bump my ilvl

[random girder]

open a fresh prog party on any of them in pf (start with e9 probably lol)

[leaden ginkgo]

Also are savage raids actually hard?

[random girder]

yes

[modest igloo]

oh my god yes

[glossy flare]

Savage raids are indeed hard

[random girder]

difficulty tiers go dungeons < alliance raids < trials < normal raids <<< ex trials = unreal trials << savage raids <<< ultimate raids

or thereabouts

[heavy wadi]

you forgot alliance raids

[random girder]

not very precise

oh yeah alliance raids

[glossy flare]

I'd say unreal trials and ex trials are about the same

[random girder]

i guess between dungeons and trials? idk

[heavy wadi]

and normal raids too

unreals are pretty much just exes

scaled up

[random girder]

ok fixed

[glossy flare]

Exactly

[spiral inlet]

do I need to complete

Pagos relic

[random girder]

not if you dont want to

[spiral inlet]

to start pyros?

[random girder]

yes i believe so

[spiral inlet]

FFFFFFF

[random girder]

i should do eureka

[faint flare]

You only need the pagos relic if you want the elemental armour

[true jolt]

sadly, pagos is the worst step on top of the stupid map layout

[spiral inlet]

how do I get an antiqueated

caladbolg lol

[leaden ginkgo]

Hey guys I'm in free trial where to get high level gear

[true jolt]

its from lvl70 quest reward

[spiral inlet]

oh I think I tossed mine

[true jolt]

buy again from calamity salvager npc at 3 starter cities

[modest igloo]

mor dhona for lvl 50 gear, idylshire for lvl 60 gear

[leaden ginkgo]

Ok thanks

[spiral inlet]

tyvbm

[true jolt]

oh btw in future steps if it ask you specific "rare item" from eureka, it usually from the lvl cap NM (lvl20 nm called pazuzu at anemos, 35 called louhi at pagos). usually you need 5 of them (2-3x NM) but you can exchange crystal for it by talking to the bird watcher npc

[trail elk]

The eureka elemental armor looks so cool

[dense kelp]

Does anyone know if theres an issue going on with a server world visit that you can select from the login screen?

[true jolt]

+1 makes them glow iirc

[vernal bramble]

what's the major difference of crossworld party and a normal party?

[warm snow]

Ones across multiple worlds

Ones all on your current server/world

[torn flare]

do I pick arcanist or rogue?

[warm snow]

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[modest igloo]

cant start as rogue

[faint flare]

They're completely other jobs

[warm snow]

Do you want a pet or do you want to stab shit

[modest igloo]

but you can pick up both and swap between the two

[torn flare]

shit might do that ngl

[warm snow]

This is ff14

[torn flare]

I was at the rogue guy and he said to bogger off

xD

[warm snow]

You need to finish your starter jobs level 10 quest to start unlocking other jobs

[limpid glacier]

what ironwork gear should I get next? I have weapon, chest, legs and feet already

[modest igloo]

accs

[warm snow]

Accessories

[torn flare]

I just did that hehe

[limpid glacier]

everything from the right row?

[warm snow]

Since your level 50 quest gives half decent gear for the meantime

[warm snow]

Yes

[limpid glacier]

aight thanks

[faint flare]

Prioritise lowest ilvl stuff

[slender sphinx]

Does anyone know the default third person camera angle setting? I messed around with it and forgot the original number. Also don't want to click default settings since it'll mess up my other settings.

[little swift]

its 30 iirc

[trail mulch]

guys how do i trf my hotbars

[little swift]

trf?

transfer?

[trail mulch]

yeah

between devices

[alpine shadow]

use the backup feature

[warm snow]

When logging in click the man with a gear

[trail mulch]

i used the backup but it didnt work

[warm snow]

Let's you backup your configs

[trail mulch]

i backed it up but it didnt work

[warm snow]

You have to download them on the other device

[alpine shadow]

did you "restore" it on the device you want to copy it to?

[trail mulch]

yeah

[alpine shadow]

the character settings?

[trail mulch]

????

im very confused

[alpine shadow]

since there are 2 types of backups

system and character

[trail mulch]

how do i do anything

[alpine shadow]

ok, so on your character selection screen

[trail mulch]

im kinda panicky lmao cuz im supposed to farm for TEA bis and im really struggliong

[limpid glacier]

can you turn off the company emblem from armor?

[alpine shadow]

https://img.thaun.dev/4r4yb.png

[trail mulch]

what is the difference between that

[alpine shadow]

it's where your hotbars is saved at

system settings are just resolution and graphics etc.

[haughty wasp]

Is there any way to change my characters name?

[alpine shadow]

you purchase a name change on mogstation

[warm snow]

I can answer that, for money

[trail mulch]

so the main one just gives u display settings???

[haughty wasp]

Gotcha that's fine

[alpine shadow]

yep

[warm snow]

You have character specific settings and system settings

They're separate backups/restores

[trail mulch]

oh wth

i did this before

how come it disappeared

[warm snow]

Because its separate from the system settings backup

[alpine shadow]

https://img.thaun.dev/qjxhl.png

[warm snow]

But the menu looks the same

[alpine shadow]

https://img.thaun.dev/1b39n.png

[trail mulch]

no like ive ACTUALLY gone through that

why isnt it automatically available

[faint flare]

Restore deletes it

You want download

[warm snow]

It is you're supposed to use download

Restore is a reset to defaults

[alpine shadow]

ah then i said "Restore" lmao

confused me too

[trail mulch]

its still missing

[warm snow]

You have no backed up settings

[trail mulch]

is there any quicker way...

my group is raging at me

well

[alpine shadow]

copy my documents/my games/ffxiv folder to the other machine

[trail mulch]

but theyre definitely pissed

[warm snow]

Your settings were never backed up

[trail mulch]

i backed them up

i watched it backup

[warm snow]

According to the menu you didn't back up the character configs on that character

[trail mulch]

i dont understand whts happening

[alpine shadow]

well, imo, if you can't find it, just fix up your hotbar quick

[warm snow]

All the backups are independent for each character

[trail mulch]

can u give me an easier way

i cant rmb my hotbar

[warm snow]

This is the simplest

[trail mulch]

i heard u can jst trf data

i rather just trf data

[alpine shadow]

well, you didn't back it up

ah wait

do you have access to your machine?

that has the original hotbars

[trail mulch]

yeah

i dont get why

[alpine shadow]

then go to "My Documents" folder on that machine

[trail mulch]

its not working??????

what am i to look for

[alpine shadow]

"My Games"

[trail mulch]

huh

[alpine shadow]

"Final Fantasy XIV - A Realm Reborn"

[warm snow]

You did not back up your settings properly

[trail mulch]

i dont get why its not working

[alpine shadow]

wdym, are you uploading the settings right now?

[warm snow]

Because you didn't back up your settings properly

[trail mulch]

it LITERALLY says i uploaded data

[limpid glacier]

can't mouse wheel up/down be binded for the hotbar?

[trail mulch]

this is on the other com

i dont get why its not working?

[alpine shadow]

ok, then press download on the other machine

or i think you must restart the game if oyu just did it

[warm snow]

And you're looking at the client I. E. System settings on the other compute

[faint flare]

You clicked CLIENT back up on the new system

[warm snow]

Orange = system settings

[faint flare]

Not character

You went to the wrong menu

[alpine shadow]

uh, read, that shows character settings

[trail mulch]

i dont get it

[faint flare]

The top cog is system settings

[warm snow]

The first image where it says there's nothing to download is system config

[faint flare]

The cog next to your character is character back uos

[torn flare]

yo, so wtf is the purpose of fishing, gold miner and those other things cuz like

[warm snow]

Gatherer jobs

[torn flare]

im just standing and fishing lvling up

[faint flare]

Crafting and gathering

[torn flare]

and like confusion

[alpine shadow]

@trail mulch just press the cog on the right of the same character

[warm snow]

This is the character backup

[warm snow]

This is the system backup

[torn flare]

like dis me rn and im not sure whats the purpose

[alpine shadow]

https://img.thaun.dev/4r4yb.png

[faint flare]

Mats for crafting

[warm snow]

Your purpose is to fish

Fish can be used for crafting

[modest igloo]

its relaxing to some people

[torn flare]

damn, has life really came to me being a rogue fisher

[modest igloo]

crafting and gathering can be its own separate game

[torn flare]

ohhhh

ight I see

[modest igloo]

i raid a lot and endgame crafting can be too much for me lol

have a friend of mine who's reaction time isn't the best but loves crafting

[torn flare]

ight so just a dif way to play the game besides fighting

[modest igloo]

yep

i did it a lot during DPS queues later on

plus there's a powerleveling area later in the game

[warm snow]

We have a giant fucking casino in a desert

More to this game then just fighting

Hell they're adding a stardew Valley island in Endwalker

[modest igloo]

considering theres like 175 hours of MSQ, 4 expacs worth of raiding, crafting, glam, bozja, pvp, gold saucer, beast tribes

i've been playing for 2000 hours and still havent done it all yet

[cloud heron]

Question, if im trying to farm fates for the Haunting and vextrous memories for the relic, is there anywhere I can go to try and find a party? any better methods than that I could persue as well?

[warm snow]

Not really, you can ask people on the area but people aren't forming parties as much any more

[modest igloo]

it's a one-time step

unless you have a geared blue mage it might be best to fate farm and que for raids at the same time

[jade quartz]

Use the Party Finder.

[cloud heron]

ah ok, I am a little happier its just a one time step

ok I will keep going as I am then

[jade quartz]

People are still farming it.

Make a PF.

[cloud heron]

alrighty will do

thanks all

[torn flare]

holy shit

like I never really got into wow felt like I wasted my money

[warm snow]

No I'm not making that up

[torn flare]

so im trying ffxiv out cuz my friends that grind wow told me about this game and im loving it so far way better than wow imo

[warm snow]

Another wow refugee lads, drink!

[modest igloo]

after 9.1 releases imma die of alcohol poisening

[modest igloo]

welcome to our crew! enjoy your stay

[warm snow]

Hope you have a good time, I know arr story is a bit rough but all the other fun shit to do kept me around to finish it

[spring elk]

I am new to the game, and am currently playing BLM (level 42); I played mage in WoW, so I'm used to queuing up casts and whatnot

Something feels off about the black mage's firestarter: whenever I cast fire, it feels like I have to wait ~1sec to see if I get a fire 3 proc... am I doing something wrong?

[open rivet]

I'm approaching 3k and I'm not even in ShB yet lmao

[torn flare]

yeah lmao I was lost when I tried to follow the story but im gonna watch a few vids on the story eventually to try to understand xD

[torn flare]

damn

how do u know that?

[modest igloo]

yep, there's a delay between each ability, .7 secs

[warm snow]

/ptime tells you your in game play time

[modest igloo]

/playtime

i have 80 ish days logged

[open rivet]

watching the 1.0 stuff gives a bit of background info on what the world was like 5 yrs ago

[modest igloo]

not including my alt

[torn flare]

ohhh

ight

[warm snow]

I'm at 179 days, 14 hours and 44 minutes

[heavy wadi]

I have over 110 days logged, still haven’t done everything

[torn flare]

Should I go to the steam version where all my other games are or should I keep playing the ffxiv launcher?

[spring elk]

nono I'm talking about me just waiting to see if I get a proc, when it feels like I should be casting something

[warm snow]

Being stuck at home with a lot of afk queuing is a large contributor

[modest igloo]

hmmm that might be a ping issue

!faq checkping

[zinc orbit]

Q: How do i check my ping to the servers?

1. Open CMD (Windows key + R, Type CMD and hit enter)
2. Type: ping -n 20 [Datacenter ip address] without the brackets
3. Press enter
   PD: To check your Datacenter IP adress go to https://arrstatus.com/

[torn flare]

I have 5 hours 36 minutes played xD

[spring elk]

getting ~140ms

[faint flare]

Don't wait for the prox

Keep casting

Just use the prox next gcd

[warm snow]

That's unfortunately how blm is at the lower levels, once you get your lv60 kit you'll barely be using fire 1 so listen to vinyl

Your abcs

Always
Be
Casting

[spring elk]

yeah that's what I was thinking too

[modest igloo]

ye that might do it, but you should be fine

[spring elk]

was worried about wasting procs

but if it changes later, should be fine then

ty ty ❤️

[modest igloo]

you have i think 10s to use it

[dark copper]

what is the average clear times for the Mhach alliance raid series?

similar to Crystal Tower? or much longer?

[warm snow]

I get that but yeah it changes later

[warm snow]

A good bit longer

[heavy wadi]

depends on the raid

[spring elk]

perfect!

[modest igloo]

somewhat slower id say

[warm snow]

Crystal tower is babies first alliance raid series

[heavy wadi]

void ark is quick, but weeping city and dun scaith take a lot longer

[dark copper]

so mhach series are much longer?

[warm snow]

Yes

[heavy wadi]

they have more complicated mechanics overall

[warm snow]

Especially the second and third

Largely due to actually having to do the mechanics

That and arr content has been power crept to oblivion

[heavy wadi]

Not to mention the number of instant death mechs…

[warm snow]

Pun slightly intended

[warm snow]

Fucking airship

[late sundial]

will i receive the base reward for leveling roulette if it is not my first clear of the day and the adventurer in need is not of my role?

[heavy wadi]

megadeath too

[warm snow]

Yes

[late sundial]

great! thanks

[warm snow]

Adventurer in need is a tiny neat bonus but it's negligible compared to the main roulette bonus

[late sundial]

im doing it for the seals

[dark copper]

on leveling roulette, it is a 11k gil bonus, which isn't bad if you are just starting out

[warm snow]

Just rank up and trade in dungeon gear

[dark copper]

i recommend doing the AIN for leveling roulette

[late sundial]

yeah i greed everything LOL

whats AIN

[dark copper]

adventure in need bonus...gives you a hefty gil reward for being adventurer in need in roulette

11k for leveling roulette, 8k for others

i believe it is also repeatable

[late sundial]

xp?

[dark copper]

yes

[late sundial]

cool

[dark copper]

the AIN reward is repeatable, whereas the roulette bonuses themselves are only once daily

[late sundial]

but the base reward is every clear

regardless

[dark copper]

yes you only get the reward after you clear

[late sundial]

sweet it changed to healer just as i was about to join hahaha

[dark copper]

and if you fail to clear you can try again for roulette bonus

[torn flare]

?

[modest igloo]

i'd say FF launcher

[late sundial]

havent actually failed any roulette.. but im lv52 so things are pretty easy around here

[modest igloo]

seems to have less hoops to go through

[dark copper]

failing a roulette is pretty rare....unless people leave out of frustration (looking at you aurum vale)

[modest igloo]

save mentor roulette

[late sundial]

im in arum vale right now LOL

[dark copper]

lol...doesn't that defeat the purpose of being a mentor?

[dark copper]

tell your party to hug the left wall of the first room and eat fruit and all will be fine

[modest igloo]

pretty much

[dark copper]

why even do mentor roulette if you are going to leave? surely no duty can be that hard

[gritty oracle]

Is a lv70 blu more useful in an unsync ex trial than a lv80 dps?

[gritty oracle]

If it's an extreme trial and people refuse to listen, the trial can't be finished. Extreme trials require everyone to know exactly what to do, but some people think you can just run at it full charge

[astral bolt]

... who's ||Laurentius|| again?

[heavy wadi]

People shouldn’t queue for EX trials directly, is why.

[dark copper]

oh i forgot people actually use duty finder for extreme trials. i guess i'm really lucky i haven't rouletted into one of those in trial roulette

[heavy wadi]

you don’t get them in trial roulette

they only appear in mentor roulette

[oak ice]

||you chase him around and get ambushed by Garleans just before Toto Rak|||

[modest igloo]

||bandit from MSQ who took an oath to never steal again and be a good guy||

[astral bolt]

oooh... him.

[agile laurel]

Does blm have a common generic use for swiftcast outside of the jp opener? Like smn and rdm do?

[dark copper]

||didn't he still turn out to be a not a good guy, ie betraying you during end of ARR||?

[oak ice]

If you need more movement

[modest igloo]

||dieing in hell as we speak!||

[agile laurel]

||i feel they're not there yet||

[agile laurel]

yes, but like. smn uses swiftcast every bahamut rotation. rdm uses it for fishing. what does blm do?

sitting on it for movement is surely just an optional extra? is there something actually beneficial from it?

[astral bolt]

oh god. imagine if i recruited ||Edda for Alphranald's thing||

[oak ice]

Technically you'd save a bit of a gcd since channel is longer than recast time

[open rivet]

BLM gets triple cast as another Swiftcast, so I guess they could weave it into that

[dark copper]

||the elf in her party would then kill herself||

[astral bolt]

||wasn't she already dead?||

[dark copper]

||she does die, but much later iirc||

[astral bolt]

||I fought her corpse so...||

[modest igloo]

||bold of you to assume she's dead even when she died||

[dark copper]

[astral bolt]

||ok so far I managed to recruit 3 people, one more city to go||

[jade quartz]

ARR spoilers ||she dies in Livia's raid on the Waking Sands right after Titan.||

So, long before your current point.

[next portal]

tome of peotics

are they used to trade for i130 gear?

[dark copper]

||was she one of the bodies you pick up and turn into flower?||

[dark copper]

yes

[next portal]

are there any other purpose rather den 130 gear?

[dark copper]

at mor dhona

[heavy wadi]

||resurrection doesn’t work that way, fyi||

[dark copper]

you can use poetics to purchase items and for relics

[modest igloo]

later it can be used for 270 and 400 gear

[oak ice]

Poetics are level cap items for all old expansions

[jade quartz]

!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

[modest igloo]

and once the new expac comes out 530 gear

[next portal]

!faq relics

[zinc orbit]

Error!

No tag named relics exists, Kupo!

[next portal]

wad are relics

[jade quartz]

If you want to use an faq purely for your own reference use #kupo-bot-spam btw

[dark copper]

shiny weapons that you grind for at the end of each expansion

the ARR one is a particularly long grind from what i've heard

better to wait until you finish HW

[jade quartz]

Relic weapons are a type of weapon that exists at each level cap, which are upgraded via a long grind.

Old expansion relics are now only used for glamour (they are Very Shiny)

[next portal]

wldnt it be obsolete now with HW expansion

[dark copper]

it's used for glamour purposes

[modest igloo]

they are obsolete

they're glam

[dark copper]

because the weapons look cool (to some)

[jade quartz]

Current expansion relics (level 80 resistance weapons) are relevant weapons for their stats. The fully upgraded level 8 relic is BiS.

[next portal]

i noticed HW dungeon has a ilvl100 requirement

[dark copper]

vast majority of the grinding in this game is done for glamour/fashion purposes

[next portal]

i just ended lvl50 msq with ilvl 70

[dark copper]

obtaining the best weapon for your level/msq progression isn't terribly difficult

[dark copper]

is that the HW relic for DRK?

[modest igloo]

yep, one of the last stages

[next portal]

where do i go to up my ilvl to proceed with HW quest?

[modest igloo]

poetics

[jade quartz]

Buy ironworks with Poetics

[dark copper]

buy ironworks gear using poetics

[jade quartz]

you already know about this

Also the gear given to you by MSQ quest rewards is sufficient for all ilvl requirements.

But Ironworks is even better.

[open rivet]

ye, arr starts out by first making you grind fates in like 12 areas, then they make you go like 20 dungeons, then a treasure hunt & then like 50 more dungeons
.. for the first 4 steps

[dark copper]

how much worse is HW relic grind compared to ARR?

[modest igloo]

easier

[next portal]

so is there any reason to keep my poetics for SB?

[open rivet]

it gets less with each expac

[modest igloo]

yes

[jade quartz]

Yes

JKYS this has already been answered

It buys the best gear available at levels 50, 60 and 70.

And is useful for other purposes after that.

Please read the guide linked earlier:

!faq poetics

[dark copper]

poetics are used to purchase all end-expansion gear except for the current expansion, which is bought using revelations

[zinc orbit]

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

[next portal]

oooh... so theres no reason for me to blow wad i have now on ARR "best gear"

[dark copper]

no you should blow all your poetics now

[jade quartz]

Yes

Buy Ironworks

[dark copper]

there's a poetic cap which you reach pretty early

[jade quartz]

We told you to buy Ironworks and that guide also tells you so if you read it >_<

Poetics are not hard to come by.

You do not need to save them for later.

[next portal]

hahahaha, im just worried if u spend now, i wont have enough for HW

ok shall blow it all in ARR

[dark copper]

poetics are given out in this game like candy

you will hit the 2000 poetics cap in less than a week, without even grinding if you do roulettes

[next portal]

i see, and u only need 4.3k of them for a full set

[twilit arch]

you don't need to buy a full ironworks set for your first job

[leaden ginkgo]

Finally !

[dark copper]

make sure to buy the ironworks weapon, body piece, and leg piece at least

[twilit arch]

if you're still working on the main scenario quest, you can use what poetics you've gotten to buy the weapon/chest/pants at the very least

and rest can just be what you get from msq rewards

[next portal]

ok

1. if my poetics hits cap, buy iron works
2. proceed with MSQ

3)after HW MSQ, poetics hit cap, buy shire

[dark copper]

yes, also if you hit cap and have full set of ironworks gear, you can spend poetics on gear for a different job/class you plan to level

[next portal]

got it

[limpid glacier]

whats the cross hotbar

[twilit arch]

the controller hotbar

[limpid glacier]

oh ok

[dark copper]

yes make sure you buy shire and not hailstorm/torrent gear

[next portal]

sorry for a last stupid question, how fast does ilvl 130 become obsolete when u start HW

[dark copper]

by level 55 dungeon

[glossy flare]

So about halfway through the 3.0 msq

which is still a pretty good chunk

[limpid glacier]

so shoukd i stop buying ironwork gear

[glossy flare]

No

Buy it

[dark copper]

buy ironworks gear until full set

unless you have gear with higher item level from dungeons

[next portal]

spend it, its given like candy, they say

and halloween's coming

[dark copper]

it's given like candy

[plucky jacinth]

hope someone could help me with trying to make a free trial account, I continually am getting the i2501 error. I've tried on several devices, I've tried with and without a VPN, nothing seems to be working

[dark copper]

you can easily get 1k poetics/day if you do alliance raid, msq, trial, and level 50/60/70 dungeon roulette

can cap in 2 days if you want

or even in 1 day if you repeatedly spam garuda (hard) and get new adventure bonus

[waxen karma]

When and where am I able to purchase scaevean gear? I'm at the location where it says online but I can't find the NPC. Is it post-stormblood?

[jade quartz]

Complete Stormblood base MSQ

[dark copper]

the vendor appears in kugane and rhalgr's reach after completing SB

[spare geyser]

Does the fenrir mount change size for different races?

[next portal]

gets larger when its excited

[dark copper]

it scales for racial sizes

[next portal]

thanks for all the advise guys

this game is abit overwhelming for new players like me

[warm snow]

No early access. You'll need to do your job quests to have enough ilevel to finish stormblood

[dark copper]

also you can join the NN in game if you need more help

[next portal]

finished lvl 50 msq, still havent try frontline n rival wings

[dark copper]

a lot of people like to mentor new players and party with new players to make queue times faster

[next portal]

ooh, what is NN

[dark copper]

novice network

[next portal]

i see mentor n novice

[dark copper]

in game, server-wide chat for novices and mentors

[next portal]

im still wondering if its worth it to unlock the odin trial

u gotta love an odin summon in all the ff games

[agile laurel]

odin counts as an EX trial by ARR standards so it'll be impossible to queue for

in terms of content level, it was added as an afterthought to popular demand

[next portal]

sorry, wad does EX trial mean

[agile laurel]

extreme

[dark copper]

I recommend doing a party finder for Odin trial...and advertise that this is your first time...people will want to join your party because of that sweet first-timer completion bonus you will give to everyone in the party

[agile laurel]

yeah, your best luck will be to advertise unsync and ask for high level players to push it over

you won't succeed with a regular random party, it's just not feasible

[dark copper]

also you can ask for help in the novice network

[next portal]

alright, shall do it when im free

[dark copper]

(and advertise the first timer completion bonus)

will be much quicker than doing it through duty finder

[robust magnet]

Does anyone here have some experience in fixing an issue where after you log into the FFXIV client and hit play, the game just closes and doesn't open?
(For Steam Client)

[torn flare]

if I purchase "FINAL FANTASY XIV Online Starter Edition" on steam will I be able to add friends and invite ppl to my party?

because the free trial doesnt allow that

[next portal]

yes u can

[dark copper]

no. other people will need to add you and friend you

[twilit arch]

yes

[next portal]

trial u cant be party leader, and cant add friends

[twilit arch]

starter edition lifts trial limitations

[dark copper]

oh i read it wrong

[torn flare]

ohhh

okey

[robust magnet]

You can also ask people to invite you and your friends together

[twilit arch]

BUT you are going to have to pay for a sub from that point forward

[next portal]

any idea when the nx sale will be

i wanna buy the complete addition

[twilit arch]

so make sure you're ready to do that before buying

[steel jasper]

Question, I purchased Endwalker pre-order on the Playstation. I had 2 service accounts under the same log in. The first service account I wasn't using but I guess it was active. The PS4 linked the pre-order to that account and now I don't have access to it. I emailed support but I don't know if they are going to help much. Anyone have this happen?

[torn flare]

if my subscription runs out can I still do all the stuff the trial account can?

[dark copper]

no

[robust magnet]

No

[torn flare]

ah so u have to purchase a sub then

[dark copper]

yes

[robust magnet]

Once you buy the game you are no longer on the free trial, and are expecting to pay a sub as a normal player.

[torn flare]

and then one last thing, im currently on the ffxiv launcher can I swop to play on steam when I buy it or nah?

[faint flare]

Yes, trial is the one time you can swap to steam

[torn flare]

ah

okey shot guys for the help

how much is the subscription then?

[faint flare]
