Jesus I can't do commands today
playing with friends on different datacenters
whats the dif between entry and standard?
i see, and free companies i guess
but we get cross-datacenter travel starting in a few months
(after September)
main difference for most people between entry and standard is the ability to pay for more months at a time
so there really isnt any real reason to create 2 characters
Way of trying different characters without developing a crippling fantasia addiction
except for looks, and friends on other data center
since for most people, they're not going to have multiple characters. The people who do are usually either playing on other datacenters to raid/play with friends, they're roleplayers, or they're serious crafters who use the others for inventory space
some people use second character as a item mule
so does it matter if I purchase entry or standard to play with my friend?
Some people have different characters to get around weekly lockouts when they were still a thing
Oh so it is 12-15
ah okey thanks mate
ooooh, so if i purchase the complete set today, i still need to pay a sub on top of that
Also if anyone got any advice for this 
I have updated windows and my gpu driver, and restarted pc.
i would hold off until right before you start stormblood
unless there is a sale
or you want to join a specific FC
exp wasted due to the lvl60 cap doesnt matter right
yes leveling is easy in this game
on purchasing this do I get 30days with or on top of that price do I have to pay for a sub? starter edition*
i recommend you level another job
u get 30 days if u are not from trial
You always get 30days free when buying the Base game
and if u are from trial?
same
oooohhhhhhh
oh okey shot
thanks guys
if you hit level 60 on free trial, you can still take advantage of exp by leveling another job
god why are leveling crafters so expensive o.o holy lmao
if you hit gil cap, buy crafting materials from beast tribe vendor (then sell on marketboard once you purchase game)
Levelling crafters takes no gil
it either takes time or gil
does anyone ever have an issue like when the gamepad is not working for ffxiv pc
I notice that I need to restart my pc everytime it happens to make it work
i use ds4 to ensure complete compatibility
i use some sort of a knockoff xbox controller but it works on other games
like fifa and stuff
but ffxiv

is buying gear from vendor worth it ?
No
oh
It.has far less stats than other equal ilvl gear
ilvl ?
Item level
so where do i get gear then ? just dungeon ?
Story, job quests and dungeons. Poetics at 50/60/70
i see
Which to choose?
thanks !
Doesn't matter
!faq grandcompany
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.
Then why would they give you 3 choices?
why not?
Lore/flavour
Why would they give you multiple races in character creator?
also is spiritbound important ?
At 100% you can trade it for materia
so materia is important i guess
Only at endgame
not really
And the game throws materia at you like candy
okay thanks again all
Can't do The Ghimlyt Dark because I don't have item level 360, im at 356, where could I get an upgrade to get to the required ilvl?
Buy i400 scaevan in Rhalgars reach or kugane sundry splendors
I suggest Buying weapon & whatever is dragging your item lvl down first
Is there any possibilty to tranfers steam account to Windows account? Beacuse from me it is WAY cheapier to buy the game on Windows than from steam. And im almost in the end of Free Trial story :/
Hey guys i wanna level up my alt jobs, is spamming dgs a good method ?
im talking about tank jobs
Any tips for finding groups for Odin hunt, I’m late to the Fate apparently
Are there any discord’s for treasure maps for eu data centers I’m on chaos
can you get seeds of the same plant?
what does enable direct chat do in settings
mean that if you press a letter on your keyboard, it opens the chat rather than having to hit enter before hand
isn't that extremely annoying
yes, so dont enable it ono
Handy for controllee players who don't use keyboard for binds
good point
is standard movement settings smart enough to keep on
I feel like it messed me up a few times
Lodestone news
Yes, which is what I linked. Asking if there's anything else posted anywhere, not questioning if it's legit but people are asking
That's all the information.
is there something I can buy from vendor on free trial
and than sell when I upgrade to a bigger wallet size on market board?
This server is not officially affiliated with SE. We wouldn't know any more than what's in that announcement.
at a not huge loss
Must I equip my HW relic for the light step?
I know it isn't, don't worry about it
Can i trade people who are from different server? For example if i world visit them
Yes
for ishgard how do you turn in stuff you made 😄 do you have to start from phase 1 and work your way up or I'm missing something here
You didn't meet the minimum requirement for collectiblity
Read the bottom bit where it says Rewards
Those are the thresholds
oh I see I'm dumb dumb kik
Where do you get multiple Proto Ultima Heat Shielding? I can only see 1 place to get it in gamerescape etc
Other than prey online?
You get it from the repeatable dun scaith quest
Might be confused with a different drop
prey online is the exoplating
ahhhh thanks

hello guys, I have a question about a precise craft, can I ask it here ?
is it worth buying shadow bringers before i am able to do the content? like any benefits before? im currently lvl 52
is the steam and non-steam/windows cost for expansions and subscription the same?
Yes
im also kinda worried about spending €70 all at once cause im not sure if im gonna even play ffxiv more, like i liked it before and played it alot but rn its been a while since ive properly played it but wanna get back into it
You are always welcome to cancel sub later
There's no reason to be subbed all the time if you don't want to
It was cheaper for me to buy the complete edition on pc than it was on steam
apparently the steam sale starts in 11 minutes
thats the price for expansions
It was like $88 AUD on steam and $60 on PC
also im on non-steam version and idk if i can get official square enix support to transfer my account or anyhting
so idk if ill be able to reap the benefit of steam sale
You can't if you own the game
If you’re doing non steam trial tho
Its rare for ff14 to be on sale on steam
wait if you are on non steam trial can you still buy on steam?
Ywa
I'll be shocked if it is
i heard that it was on sale last summer sale
One time you can swap
should i swap to steam then? or just stay on my non-steam version
im planning on swapping if the game goes on sale if that helps
Do you want easy access to steam or do you want to launch ff14 without steam
doesnt matter which
Hi I have a question I'm level 17 culinarian but I can't Desynthesizable this, anyone know why ?
i use linux actually but both work fine in my experience
estelle does the game normally go on sale on the non steam launcher?
Desynth is lvl 30 or above
how many company seals do you get from duty roulette? if it says 280 on the duty finder is that the exact amount you get
Sometimes. It went on sale a few weeks ago
I'd imagine there'd be a spring sale but idk
it did?? aaa
Does the job need to be 30 to start using desyn ?
I purchased mine during Christmas
how rare are ffxiv sales on both steam and non-steam
we just had a 60% off sale
😢
should i just wait until the next sale on ffxiv
Of it doesn't go on sale on steam I doubt we'll get another before endwalker
also is there any point of upgrading from the free trial version if im not going to play shadowbringers? i heard you get heavensword with the trial
The sales are sporadic so i wouldn't be able to tell you exactly
you wont be max level
is there any way to, well, speed up the grind for the skysteel fishing rod?
do you still gain exp on free trial max level? and then once you buy it just stacks up and gives you some levels
And you can’t play the other 4 expansion jobs
no
once you hit level 60, any exp gained is lost
Rested exp carries over
It goes poof and has a red X when you hit 60
pain
if there is no steam sale, should i wait for some sort of sale on ffxiv or just buy it
if you want to play it buy it
shadowbringers is still part of the game btw. its not like other games where each expansion is an entirely different chunk of unrelated stuff
There probably won’t be another sale any time past summer
what the fuck
did they change the alphinauds voice
wdym?
this one is ass
All voice actors in heavensward yes
yes
Yes
all but like 3
They moved to a UK voice studio and have stayed there ever since.
..why
wait what level is the heavensward msq?
Contract expired
uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Because the ARR voice acting was dreadful. I think they were also up against contract expiry and union stuff.
the "new" VAs are much better than the old ones
And they didn't reup it cause it was shit
well ive fucked myself by not knowing there was a sale before 
what about merlwyb
The change is widely regarded as for the extreme better.
Merlwyb barely talks for a long time
uhhhhhh
really?
Aymeric, Haurchefaunt and like Midgardsormr are the only ones who don't change
Definitely gets better, yeah.
Big H is the same
well I'm just starting HW so I just heard 1 line of dialog
Midgardsormr changes.
hmm Rommy said he didn't 
It’ll grow on ya
Oh maybe he doesn't
I don't believe middy changes
uhh
he's also not listed in 2.55 credits so can't confirm it :\
I really hope I like the new voices
it makes or brakes the experince for me
maybe I have low standards
because I like the ARR va
You will like the new VA
the ARR VAs were... bad in comparison
base HW is a little weird because the VAs were new and getting used to their roles still
ARR is rife with very transparently fake accents. Looking at you, Minfilia and Cid.
they won't change again?
nope
Just unlistenable, poor performances at imitating English accents.
alright, I can handle one swap
LOL noo
The only reason why a voice actor changes after heavensward is if they've passed
well, one character does, but because the original va passed away, she isn't seen frequently anyways
Yugiri will since her old VA died ☹️
is a good plan to: buy subscription at lvl60, finish HW, buy shadowbringers, buy endbringers in november?
make it two, then
fuckk :( that's really sad to hear
Matoya's voice actor also passed away.
if we're being super technical its 3
wait... when i type in final fantasy into the steam search bar shadowbringers shows up as 20$ but when i click its 50
The third hasn't been replaced by a new one as he hasn't been voiced since
cool diana pfp
Yugiri, Matoya, and Honnoroit
Hello, can you only send a letter to people on your server, even if they are on your Friend List?
i uh didnt notice all that and my question got put in an awkward position
if that works for you.
is there a place in-game or website to view glam on a character and stuff?
Anyone know where level 80 mobs are just in the field? Checked almost all over Tempest
i would say tho if you're intending to upgrade when you hit 60, you may as well just buy complete
only same world.
or level other jobs
if you feel like you're not ready to plunge into the full experience yet, you can freely try your hand by leveling other job s
that's totally fine, no need to rush 2 much
but brain will feel less bad buying smaller stuff than one big thing
if you can click on the item, like in chat, or on another character, you can right click the item and select "Try On"
fairly certain the only lvl 80 open world mobs are A/S/B rank mobs. highest you'll get for random open world is 79
Aight, cheers
https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/9956/FINAL_FANTASY_XIV_Online_Complete_Edition/ Is this on sale? Or is this always offered

Got it, thank you 👍
Anyone know how long the 535 relic grind is? Ive just obtained the 515 relic
for the first one?
maybe like, a day
CEs in zadnor give you a ton of the one time steps relics
i think its on sale
^ especially if you accept the quests before you start the grind to r25
actually i think its on sale if you own the game
lets gooo i was getting worried
It's the steam summer sale, yeah
Alright time to go in
can i walk here?
Yes
tyy
Is the game down ?
No
Is there a way of turning off ability names while fighting?
like, the names of abilities next to hit numbers?
Im getting a error message on ps5 😦
do you need to beat arr to access the samurai job?
Ah, PS servers might be down then. I'm on PC rn
does anyone know how I unlock Sidurgu Ori? I can't see the lvl 52 DK quest
need to own stormblood and be lvl50
So i was playing the free trial and really enjoyed the game so i went out to buy the actual game but its still stuck on the free trial version
awesome nothing can stop me now
!faq mogstation
Register the code you got here
the steam sale evolved, it is now a real sale

And I can continue playing trial until I register in there yes?
Hello ^^ I'd like to get some help understanding BLU, as well as maybe getting some help entering Tam-Tara deepcroft with him
hmm how do i get the free trial? steam says its only for 1 month but i heard its supposed to be unlimited?
Press the Demo button
it's until level 60
Hi anyone knows what the gil cap is in ffxiv?
The 30days ISNT the trial
ahh didnt see it thanks!
so im guessing from the steam sale, the complete edition is the most worth?
300k
Thanks
Complete edition is everything
ahh nice ic, will it include endwalker when it releases?
5 months till release zzz
for BLU spells, if i get someone to last hit the enemy will i still get the spell?
Hey guys, I've only played dps jobs so far and I wanted to get into tanking (gunbreaker or darkknight) but i'm not lvl 60 or at ishgard yet, i'm aware dk starts at lvl 30 so I'm wondering if I should start leveling another tank to get used to the mechanics? I was thinking paladin but I've never really been a fan of sword and shield so i'm not sure if i'll enjoy it
All that matters is that you 1)see the spell get cast & 2) live
Swinging around a big axe (MRD/WAR) is way more fun than PLD
cool thanks!
fellas do i have to get the starter edition too or can i just buy shadowbringers and start from after heavensward after free trial?
let me just double check on this
so I can buy it now, but put in the code later?
I think you still need to personally aggro the mob
you need to get the base game as well
you need starter edition too, trial doesn't give you ownership of the game
Yes
To get the firebird mount I have to acquire all 7 lanner mounts from extreme trials right?
What’s the best healer to start healing for the first time?
Conjurer, It real simple
Not astro
yes
Rip I kinda liked the card system aesthetic
I mean, if you want to play AST, then play AST
You can play any class
It's just not as straightforward as CNJ/WHM is.
Ya exsctly
WHM is like the training wheels healer. I say this as a WHM main.
I will stick with my blm until I get astro and see how it goes since it starts at 30
I tire of dps in dungeons lowkey
how long does it take to farm 1 of those lanner mounts as a level 60?
That depends. Do you have a party?
No
how many hours from now does the twitch promo happen?
Then it's basically impossible.
oh :(
You want a party of at least 5 level 80s to farm the level 60 Ex trials unsynced.
People are down to bird farm usually
And even then "how long" is going to depend a lot on your rng.
what does unsynced mean?
Hey guys! Stupid question 😅 So I’m pushing through the msq and I’m stuck on a quest called “ operation archon “ it requires a job of level 49 and I’m level 47. What are some activities that can level me up? I don’t really have many dungeons and the ones that I do have that are listed are low level ones. I only have one duty roulette that I already did.
It means you go in at your current level and ilevel instead of having to sync down to the level of the content.
ohh that's cool didn't know that was possible
Leveling dungeons roullette gives bonus xp I thnk
Unsync is called "Undersized Party" in the DF options, and you can use it to go into any content with any party composition, including fewer than the party requirements, more dps, etc.
well I finished dragonsong and the rest of the heavensward msqs and I wanted to farm those mounts before I upgrade from free trial
but if it's that difficult I might as well upgrade now
Do your highest lvl dungeon you can access til you get there
Do your highest level leveling dungeon available. It shouldn't take more than 2-3 runs to get up to 49 so you can continue.
For one of my ARR relic books, I need to do the "Circling the Ceruleum" levequest in Northern Thalanan. But that leve isn't showing up at the levemete. Any idea how to unlock it?
Probably fastest way
Thank you so much guys! Sorry for the stupid question, I’m getting there😂
Do some leves to cycle them out. All leves are available but only 3 can show at a time
If I change my grand company affiliation, do I start from the bottom again?
For level 47, you can unlock Aurum Vale, which is the optional level 47 dungeon.
That will be your best bet.
so i got the first i485 Resistance weapon but now the second quest isn't popping up? (for want of a memory) Do i have to go collect the materials first? (this is my first relic weapon questline im doing ;;
Unlock bojza
I’ll go unlock that dungeon rn! @open coral
are there any katanas without a scabbard?
Which needs 5.1 story completion
For your new GC, yes you do, but if you ever switch back you will also get your old rank back
No, every Katana has a scabbard on the hip
pain
Is there anything else I can do in the free trial (that's feasible) now that I'm down the msqs?
i did, but i havent entered yet, will it unlock after I enter? I wanted to build myself up a little beforehand lol
roger that. i'll clear em out a few times. thanks!
Then there should be a new blue quest in gangos to continue relixs
If you've completed all of the other prerequisites, try simply leaving Gagnos and coming back in. That usually makes the next quest appear.
Do tanks or healers get faster queues
Overall or just endgame
Overall
hey there peeps,
i'm 59, close to ding, but i see my gear stays behind, i start to struggle against mobs. Is there a place i can get some lvl 60 gear on a special currency? as i did at 50 with allagan tomestone
If you're far enough in the MSQ, and have reached Idyllshire, you can use poetics to buy Shire gear.
But you don't need to gear to your class level. Gear to your MSQ level.
When you get to Idyllshire at 58
That was it xD thank you
now i'm at The Great Gubal Library quest at MSQ
Okay, so you've gotten to Idyllshire then.
That means you can buy Shire gear.
Big centre building
is the npc marked on the map?
Yes
You want the one on the right for the weapon, and the one in the middle for the rest of your gear.
tyyy
You're looking for Shire gear.
What’s the best mob farm for level 25
You don't farm mobs
i don't think anyone farms mobs to level aside from BLU
so nobody would really bother logging that info
!faq altlvlguide
For alt levelling
So should i just run dungeons and main story
Story is MANDATORY
MSQ >>> anything else.
And your job quests
If you have story to do that’s what will level your main
Basically anything in or under the tracker top left is mandatory to do
Okay where can I get a better weapon if You don’t have Gil for the market place because everything is over priced and sorry I’m new to FF14
^
You don't buy gear from vendors or market
If you're doing what you're supposed to be doing with the MSQ and job quests, you should be getting appropriate gear as you go.
As I mentioned to the other person asking about gear a few minutes ago, you should gear to your MSQ level, not your class level.
As long as your ilevel is appropriate to the content you're doing, you'll be fine.
I’m okay we’ll ok level 25 and the quest level is 17
I'm very engaged in the MSQ atm, so I skip alot of the blue quests. Is there any downside to this? Like I know some of them unlock dungeons but I feel I have unlocked the most important parts, unless there is something I might have missed. Is it ok for me to rack up on the blue quests as I close out on ARR?
it's okay to put those off for later
Just make sure you do your job quests
Yes
still recommend doing the
at some point
Thank you for confirming my answer Vinyl 
Ty!
The
will mostly unlock additional systems and content, like glamour, the challenge log, and the aesthetician. Before 50 there's a couple of extra dungeons you can unlock, but they're not mandatory, and the rest will be to unlock other classes and levequests, which are also not required.
Once you finish the 2.0 MSQ there will be a few
which are mandatory to continue the story. Namely "The Legacy of Allag" which unlocks the Crystal Tower raid series, and the Hard versions of the first three primals, which are required because one of them is integrated into the MSQ.
quick question
Does paladin passage of arms completly negate damage from add autoattacks?
No
You have 100% block during the channel
Thank you for the in-depth reply, that clarifies things for me! May I ask if there is an overview over the different MSQ included in 1.0/2.0 as I assume these are patches?
wait so
It is pretty much only for raid wides and stacks
yea this is useless outside of stacking then
Like sheltron
Block feels so useless for minor damage mitigation compared to prot warrior
prot warrios blocked cOMPETLY blocked auto attack damage
1.0 is the original FFXIV. 2.0 refers to ARR. 3.0 is Heavensward. 4.0 is Stormblood. 5.0 is Shadowbringers, and 6.0 is the upcoming Endwalker.
It's additional passive block that no other tank has
No tanks other than paladin can block
it doesnt really feel like blocking when im still taking damage
So... I finally bought the game but on my steam account I have it showing to me the free trial version and normal version. Should I uninstall the free version and install the normal one so i can proceed?
And it's stronger than parry, which is the other tanks passive mitigation
I see, thanks again!
Block with our current gear is roughly 20% or so mitigation
ah well, WoW prot warrior block and ff14 block just seems so different I Was hoping it woudl be similar
Which is in line with other short defensive Cooldowns
I mean
If youre stopping an attack with your shield
It's still gonna hurt your arm
We basically just use those as shorthand because we can then further specify the patches when specific content was added within each expansion.
tell that to prot warrior whom completly ignores auto attack damage
hey all, i just bought a mount and fantasia vial in the online store but have no ingame mail, has anyone got any idea if anything went wrong or does it take a while? Been 10 minutes or so
Block is fine
I think its fine in the long run
Just wait. Minimum 30 minutes, but it can take up to 24 hours. Make sure your mailbox is clear and you can use the "request delivery" button (only click it once, then leave it alone for awhile).
if block did work like it does in WoW
It would be overpowered as shit
everyone would only be playing paladin in dungeons so its better for the game balance wise
ye
"ah yeah passive hallowed ground"
thanks
Yeah no
oh, where is the request delivery button?
When you talk to the postmoogle, the Request Delivery button should be at the top left corner of the window.
ahh perfect now i got it, cheers!
quick question, i just installed the game and now its asking me to input a 20 alphabetical digits. i kinda have no idea where to find those
does someone here know how to help?
That's the code you got when you buy the game
i kinda clicket that away, do you know where to find it again?

Hello, the relic quest, "the will to resist" best dung for fast clear is antitower?
summer sale
nice
Apologies team but its been way too long since I played this game. Wasn't there an action/trait to help you find the nearest air currents you havent discovered?
Aether compass in your key items
what are some of the more reactive classes? When I tried lancer or pugulust, I found myself using the exact same combo repeatedly because that was optimal DPS. Any classes where their rotations are more situation dependent?
Bless you
You mean proc Base jobs
Bard, Dancer, red mage
Even then they have a loose framework of a rotation they follow and slap procs when they're up
thank you 🙂

E9s - 110 or 60/55. Depending on your killtime you will want to rush completely or delay your first FBT and rush from there. Killtimes outlined in the optimization doc.
E10s - 110 or 60/55. Depending on your killtime you will want to rush completely or delay your first FBT and rush from there. Killtimes outlined in the optimization doc.
E11s - 60/55 opener with pre-pull Devotion.
E12s doorboss - 110 or 60/55. 120 is okay near enrage for prog but still loses to 110. Killtimes outlined in the optimization doc.
E12s Final - 110s cycle.
so ive been playing the free trial off the the square enix website, if i buy the game on sale on steam will i be able to use my character from the free trial?
no
Yoy can actually
I did this, I cannot play the free trial
Thanku, still only lvl 70 with summ but already looking into these things
Trial is the one time you can swap
unless you started on steam
oh, i thought he meant going back to the fre trial
so i most cases the 110 cycle should suffice
no i havent purchased anything yet
now its on sale on steam but dont wanna lose progress so should i wait for a se sale or can i buy on steam?
Yeah I rush myself on smn most the time
where can i find the optimization doc
Hello, everyone.. I am returning Brynhildr player. I haven't played since Heavensward. I have a level 60 Scholar/Summoner. I am thinking of returning but am hoping for some feedback on other potential classes to try based of my preferences/play style. Is this the right channel for that?
In there
do note Neko, that if you buy the game you'll never be able to play F2P with that character again
Go to the smn channels
sure
game has changed a LOT since HW
there's no more cross class
and in there what document do i want to open
thank you @rain plover @faint flare
for the record it's not f2p, it's a trial, there is a difference
from the optimization listed ones
yeah, but I'm still bummed that my trial character is locked behind a paywall now, even though it's only lvl 20 xD
Optimization and encounter specific stuff is pinned in the smn encounter channel
Which links to Akhmorning
i'm not at like super high level encounters yet though xD
how do i unlock chocobo racing, i did the first quest to get the racing chocobo but I can't find the NPC again for the next quest
Almost at the end of stormblood i think?
Then just follow levelling rotations
just really interested in how fluent the job is
feels really well oiled if you pull off a good rotation
Right on! Appreciate the help and guidance. I played priest in WoW Classic. I like the support/healer role and ability to react while still dpsing when possible. I like the more difficult and high APM play styles. I like to play classes that are desired in groups to make it easier to find them. I haven't been much of a dps player but am thinking about trying one out when I return to FFXIV. I am wondering if any of the dps and/or healing classes will match my interests.
Yeah i used their leveling rotations
(you can tell cause the site is literally named after us)
for that specifically, Astro is what you'd prolly want
but i was confused at which rotation i would want to use once i got high enough for using those
For the record, there is no meta, so there is no class in low demand
not sure what the benefit was of 1st, 2nd and 3rd GCD DWT tbh
you will get in groups based on your skill, not based on your class
@rain tusk play what you want everyone wants everything, meta is super balanced
Okay. Thank you @modest igloo and @heavy wadi . What would be a dps that may be of interest to my preferred interests?
With the potential benefit of getting an additional Demi use in the fight
I like the idea of Astro.
Depending on kill times
Bard for more support, Ninja for high APM
I bought the starter edition from mog station. The collector's edition is on sale on steam. Am I able to buy it on steam and play on the same account?
Yee the trance timings have been pretty decent i think
I'd say nin or mnk for high apm
gunbreaker is also a high APM tank
but thank you for your help, much appreciated :DD
i dont think so but i could be wrong tho
Bard, ninja and monk. I like the idea of Bard. Is it somewhat involved to learn and play well? I've heard of ninja and bard having higher apm playstles.

NIN may take a bit to learn, BRD isn't as hard afaik
I haven't maxed BRD so I can't really say personally
BRD has a decent amount of procs and things to keep track of
Trick attack
If you're just starting out, Archanist is a bit unusual, as you can swap between a DPS and a healer role later
The best raid buff in the game
why is Binding Coil of Bahamut divided in multiple turns?
Agh that sucks so much. I just missed the SE sale too so it looks like it's going to be awhile before I can buy the old expansions.
Hmm okay, I think I will try bard out then. @sage mirage I have a 60 scholar/summoner already from Heavensward but want to try something new.
they are like floor of a normal wow raid
Because that's how raids are here. All 8man raids are split
can't I go thorugh the whole thing in one go?
I see
hence why we recommend PF for it
Is it mandatory to complete?
nope
no
Any recommended resources that go into some good explanation on the different classes etc?
all 8-man raids are side content
the only madatory raid is crystal tower
check pins
I'm at Stormblood rn, and the only required raid I had to do so far was Crystal Tower
Okay, going there now.
the Coils of Bahamut are essentially the true end of the 1.0 story
though the 8 man raids may make you appreciate msq a bit more, they are optional
Thank you all for the help and recommendations! 🙂
plus they introduce an MSQ character later in the story
np, glad to have ya back! I play on bryn too
as do I!
if you need help, just let us know, may be able to help you directly w/ queuing or whatever
its not avaiable in my steam region sadly ;-; so we on the same boat
question: i bought my stuff from SE website
like base game and ShB
now i want to move all those to steam
can i?
and how?
No
is enmity even still relevant since mobs don't lose aggro?
you'd have to make a new service account, which is basically starting all over again
Yes enmity is relevant
well fuck
For tank swapping and when the tank dies
the standalone version is better tho
oh right
Hello everyone
why cant the big cat race wear hats
And some attacks target second in aggrk
Funky heads
pepehands
fair enough
Anyone can help me with a issues about purchasing crystal?
I don't have any credicard, the is any options for use prepaid card?
for the twitch sub event with ff14. u simply gift subs or what exactly?
do you guys know when the next event is going to be?
gift 1 to 4 subs on any of the channels referred to in the list
does anyone know if you can use an online purchase receipt to redeem the butterfinger promotion
Has to be a physical receipt, AFAIK
do I get bitter memories in antitower/leveling roulette as any job or just the job im doing the relic?
any job so long as the quest is active
cool ty
Is there any resource or video that shows how many things there are to do at endgame? Is it varied in the meaningful things you can do?
so im brand new just made a trial account, there are A LOT of servers to choose from... any recommendation for an active newbie friendly one for North Americas? Thanks! 🙂
no, it will kill you
hunt targets are meant to be fought by a lot of people at once
oh well, glad i've asked, felt special
Nah that one’s a B-rank, which are designed to be done solo.
But you won’t get any reward for it unless you have the hunt mark for it.
No idea about NA servers but preferred ones will give you a nice exp boost
ok I'll keep researching thanks
!faq worldpick
You can play on any world on any datacenter within FFXIV. Aside from the languages spoken, the physical location of the servers, and the status of each world, there are no major differences. This also means population on a given server is quite meaningless.
The majority of content is cross-world, with the exception of Free Companies, Linkshells, and restrictions when visiting other worlds.
If you don't mind where you play, choose a world that is Preferred or New for character creation bonuses. Check world status by using !status <world name> or via the Lodestone. For information about the status types, use !faq worldtype.
Notable worlds:
- Balmung & Mateus (Role-playing)
- Tonberry & Kujata (Large amount of Oceanic players)
- Moogle (Large amount of French players)
- Shiva (Large amount of German players)
ANY CENSUSES OR WORLD STEREOTYPES BEYOND THIS IS INACCURATE BIAS AND SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY
It mostly doesn't matter which channel you chose, data center is more important (again speaking from eu perspective, there's a few unofficial nation ones)
ok then thanks
hello, I bought the collector endwalker edition via steam, but I don't know where's the code to redeem my bonus
could someone help me pls 😦 ?
Right click the game in your Steam library
Steam keys
Put in the preorder code
On mogstation as usual
Looking for some help on how to efficiently upgrade to Shadowbringers from only having ARR and HW. Returning player with new computer.
What level do you need to be in a craft to desynth stuff?
30
If you own the starter edition then just buy shadowbringers
I have this
Then buy shadowbringers
Okay. I have nothing installed on to computer as of yet. That will prompt the download for everything?
!faq download
Ty
Make sure you only buy from Steam if your account says Steam, and not Steam if your account doesn't say Steam
I bought directly from Square Enix not steam.
another question, so i redeemed my pre order bonus but I can't use the key for the collector edition, it will ask me for it later at early access release date?
Yes
At the end of early access
You're not meant to have that code yet
No one else does
Only steam people do
Uwu rewards are basically slightly different models of the zetas, right?
Much more often than steam
SE store had a sale recently
So don't expect anything soon, if even before endwalker
can i buy shadowbringers on steam and use the key on mogstation for my non-steam account
No.
No
there is no way to do that unless you were still on the trial
i am
you're on the non-Steam PC trial? then you can buy on Steam and redeem the code
it will permanently convert your account to Steam though
So you will only be able to buy future expansions through Steam as well
is steam generally better for sales?
and you will have to either launch through the Steam client, or edit the shortcut to allow you to log in
No
I honestly wouldn't recommend getting it through steam
True
Which have their own sale of the game at times
On the other hand, once you own the game, there is a good chance that you're going to preorder each new expansion anyway
or buy on release when it's not on sale

should i switch to steam? cause they have the 60% off on shadowbringers rn
is it recommended to play the trial for free until the new expansion comes out in november for new players?
eh
if you dont wanna spend money
but in order to play endwalker you'd need to beat shadowbringers and stormblood
when would the next non-steam sale come
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Unknown
you can buy it on steam and enter the cdkey into your square enix account, or so I read
should i just go steam then? cause id rarely be buying expansions anyways
yeah i read that too but someone said it cant so idk
You can’t. The product codes cannot cross, except for non-steam trial to steam full game.
oh k
so switch to steam cause sale?
Sure
do you have to create a new account to switch to steam from square enix? @astral edge
No.
Any callback campaign's going on atm?
Nope
thanks you guys are very helpful, much appreciated ❤️
how do you switch from square enix to steam
You don’t
From trial you put your code into mogstation
Wait read that wrong
The code you get from buying the game
Whats the main stat allocation for gunbreaker on the relic weapon?
Crit det sks
hey so on my first character here just wondering whe i get a mount?
!faq mounts
'When can I get my first mount?'
The quest that allows you to use mounts, 'My Little Chocobo' is unlocked by completing the level 20 main story quest 'The Company You Keep'. The quest is located at the Grand Company base you chose and you'll need to buy the Chocobo Issuance from your Grand Company Quartermaster. You can get the 200 needed Grand Company seals by doing the main story quest that comes after 'The Company You Keep'.
'Are there any differences between mounts?'
Besides looks, all mounts are the same speed along with being able to fly. Some mounts allow multiple people to ride at once.
'Can I make my mount faster?'
Zones have one or two ranks of mount speed that increase the ground speed of mounts. The first rank comes from completing specific quests in the main scenario quests, with the second rank coming from Riding Maps which are bought with either Allied Seals, Centurio Seals, or Bicolor Gemstones. Mount Speed Boosts do not increase the flying speed of mounts.

can I delete a square enix account and make a new one under the same email?
i have a trial on one version but i'd rather be using the square enix launcher
can i just add a new service account?
Yes
A new Service account on your current account lets you log in with your current info
So for the lvl 80 alliances theres no weekly coin caps anymore ?
Tower is still locked
Paradigm’s Breach still has weekly lockouts
So what was that update about paradingm i dont understand
It's now in roulette
Ahh ok thanks

You need to contact support
how fast do they respond?

- Please note that Windows service accounts are incompatible with Steam registration codes and Steam service accounts are incompatible with Windows registration codes.
does this mean my windows ft account wont be able to get upgraded with steam
would it be better than 60% tho
free trial Windows -> Steam works. The other way around does not
Hmm, can you add the 515 relic to your glamour dresser?
thanks!
would an ffxiv sale ever surpass 60% off
Don't know
Trial is the one time you can swap
a bit ago it was 60% and now its 60% off again on steam
Hmm, can you add the 515 relic to your glamour dresser?
You add the replica
Where can i grab the replica?
Regana after upgrading it to 535
do the twitch gift subs for the mount have to be random or can you gift them to specific users?
Hey ! Palace of the Dead is it good to go up 1-30 ?
Hey guys I started the woodworking profession what other professions compliment it
PotD isn't that fast when you're very low level, better to just run around doing Fates and Hunting Log
until lv 15 at least
All
I'd start PoTD a bit later like 15-20 but it's good
Except like culinary but it makes food to buff your stats
Okay, thank youu !
So, I got the free trial earlier this year, but I got a new computer, and I couldn’t figure out how to get the game back on my pc, idk what to do
Your average item level
The number next to your character image when you open your profile
With the star
Yes
Get better gear
Do I have to upgrade and buy the game now to access the game? I didn’t see any options in the support page for a redownload
accessories (rings/bracelets/earring)
You can buy i130 gear with poetics at sundry splendors in main cities
Especially get the ironworks weapon
if i preorder endwalker will i get shadowbringers with it
Yes, but not until the official release date
oh ok cool
!faq freetrial
Try downloading the free trial launcher again
@faint flare Thanks for hanging out here, and helping so many of us newbies. You're great. ❤️
im making my anima weapon for DRK in idylsshire and I just wanna ask what is the best attribute to invest after Critical hit? Old archived posts in reddit says Critical Hit > Determination but I found that Critical Hit > Direct Hit is also great. Which is better Determination vs Direct Hit ?
Alright, I’ll try it. Thank you
Direct Hit is not available on DRK gear
