Has stuff
damn, i feel like i should have a mount by now... could i have missed it ?
you could have
!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.
ooh
Has anyone tried making an square enix account through the steam version of the game?
Or am I at the wrong channel?
whatever instructions you get while buying on Steam should be correct, I don't think there's a wrong way to do it
Hey, ik that crystal is a rp focused community but whats the diffrences between Primal and Aether?
You can also use the in-game party finder
@faint flare i read some places that Aether is more serious with raiding, is that minuscule or pretty big
I should only use nocturnal when the fight has raid-wides that wipe us, right?
it likes to consider itself that, but the abilities of the players aren't any better tbh
If you don’t have a scholar in the party, then basically yes.
so the free companys are about the same level on raiding/pvp?
Yes
people don't raid through fcs always
they make cross world statics typically
you're not gated to raiding with only people on one world
Fcs are just social stuff
Yes
the data center itself barely matters
Ok well that website does not work. I need 2 more out of the 3 to join. So is there any good discord’s or something like that so they can join my free company.
Dont doubt it but somehow I manage to get stuck at entering my confirmation code. I already have the email with it but the launcher doesnt show anything to fill it in
unless its in a region that you're far away from
how fast does square enix respond?
Usually within 1-2 business days
So I followed the steps in the faq, and I went to sign in and download the trial, but it says that my account is ineligible for the free trial because it already used it. I thought the trial had unlimited play time?
when did you last play the trial?
Like last year or earlier this year, I can’t remember exactly
if it was before they made it unlimited time, then your account is sadly no longer eligible
idk if this is the right place to ask, but can someone point me to where i can farm peiste skins really fast in arr/heavensward
If that’s the case can I get the full version and play?
Nowhere in particular easier to send retainer or use market board. But I'm assuming you're on free trial
why doesn't it let me create a new account under the same email if I cancelled my old square enix account?
is there a way to like permantley delete it?
locations with monsters that drop them
yeah im free trial atm
Hey guys I just hit msq level 50 which means I get samurai right?
Well then idk how to get the client, cuz I tried the website, went on the faq and nothing. So I guess choice would be to upgrade, right?
is one location better than the other? should I do basalisks because theyre higher level?
you can get it as soon as your first job hits 50 yes
the level of the monster won't affect drop rate
unlocks in ul'dah
Either way is fine, but I’m still a little peeved it won’t let me get the trial again 😓
And own stormblood
i'd just go with whatever you can kill the fastest
Which comes with shadowbringers
and you've checked this on mogstation?
Yup. It says the only options are to transfer to regular service
Ah ok @random girder! I would like to try it out but should I finish the msq before leveling any other jobs? Or does the samurai start at 50?
sam starts at 50
Beautiful
so does red mage
Jobs from later expansions start at higher levels
is there a way to isnta cast ground target skills
Well, thanks anyways. I’m gonna see about just getting the full game and doing it that way. Thank you guys for your help
hey, newer player, I accidentally somehow got my ctrl bar stacked like this:
wanting to get it back to the standard horizontal layout and can't figure it out
Character configuration, hotbar then you can change how the lap
@faint flare perfect! thank you so much!
!faq glamour
'What is Glamour and how do I unlock it?'
Glamour is the process of changing an equipment's look into a different item with the use of Glamour Prisms. You can unlock the ability to glamour by doing the level 15 quests 'If I Had a Glamour' in Vesper Bay, West Thanalan. Although not required, you can unlock the ability to dye gear with the nearby quest 'Color Your World'. You can get the Orange Juice needed by talking to the nearby Merchant & Mender. Items used for glamouring are not lost upon use.
'How do I glamour? Where do I get more Prisms?'
Glamouring is done by right-clicking (Square or X on controllers) on the equipment you want to glamour and choosing the option 'Cast Glamour'. After clicking this you choose the item you want the appearance on the right half of the menu that opened up. You can get more Glamour Prisms by either crafting them after completing the quest 'Absolutely Glamourous', buying them from your Grand Company Quartermaster, or buying them from the marketboard.
how many fantasias does the game give you for free via msqs?
1
1
There's one included with the heavensward collectors edition if you want to count that
Hi! On the newer end of FFXIV players. I've been having issues running the game using DirectX 11 and the fixes I've seen on the forums haven't exactly been all too helpful. Has anyone else had these issues and found a fix? I can include system specifics and specs if that helps.
Hey, I just started playing the game a few days ago, me and my friend are on Sargatanas, but I wanted to remake my character and the world is locked. If I delete the character I have on that world will it allow me to make the new one?
check with #technology-discussion as well if no one here can answer your question dani
if you're on free trial you will need to, yes
but note
It runs fine using DirectX 9 for me. However, when I've tried to use DirectX 11 the game crashes on a regular basis.
Wait, I paid $60 this free month isn't the free trial right?
you will get a fantasia, ie a 'remake character' potion later on at level 50 MSQ
oh no yes then you can just make another char
Will do!
but do note you also get the potion
Keep in mind sometimes server close char creation do to high peak. You need to wait on early morning or midnight when less people playing
Yeah, but it says The world is not accepting new characters
If I delete my character will that give another spot for the new character to be made?
No
I will. I can run games like Forza 4 in 4k at 60fps on my system, so I'm a little confused why these issues have been so prevalent 😅 I'll ask over there
!faq serverlock
Standard, Preferred, and New Servers will dynamically open and close themselves from newly created characters depending on how many players are online. To ensure you're able to make a new character on your server try waiting or doing so at a less active time of day.
Congested Servers will not unlock for new players or transfers until Square Enix removes the Congested Status.
thanks!
Ah dang, been trying for around 3 hours now 🙂
yeah, it would be best if you try during nighttime or when it's less active
Well I'm happy it's not just me haha. Appreciate it ❤️
but again, you can play until level 50 to remake your character with the free fantasia
Like a complete remake? New race and all?
yes
the only thing you cannot change is your name, which will need a separate purchase
but if you are comfortable with the name then fantasia will be exactly what you want
changes race and appearance entirely if you so desire
Ah okay, and the name change is $10
I'd rather just remake since the character is so new tbh
how can I check how many tomestones I have?
ctrl+c by default, under Battle
oh cool thanks
can also click your money
Is there any system to break down items for their resources?
where do I gather zonerskin maps, ive been trying the locations listed online with no turn out
Lv80 nodes
yup, thats what ive been trying
Maps aren't guaranteed in nodes
They're rng
Just keep checking and cycling around in the node group
ah ok! is there a website or something I can be directed to that might help me see the locations for the maps?
Same locations as lv80 nodes
So, from what I've researched it seems it's possible to 'transfer' my PC account to steam which I'm interested in because shadowbringers is still like full price on PC but 15$ on steam.
The interesting part is I've pre-ordered endwalker on the PC version so I'm not sure what'll happen when that releases.
So if i buy the game on PS, but decide to play on PC later on, do i have to buy the complete edition again?
Is it even possible to play the same account?
Yes, you buy the whole game again
You do get 30days free again
hmm, ill just wait for a sale then i think
It's on sale via steam
Hey im trying to grind out relic weapon in eureka, can i find groups somewhere?
is the ilvl 520 cryptlurker weapon noticeably better than the ilvl 520 augmented exarchic weapon?
No
No
It's literally substat differences
But it can be augmented to 530
im probably gonna do relic grind isntead
Do
cause id rather not run eden savage if i can help it; i thought crypt esters were easier to come by
How long is the steam sale for? I'd guess the duration of the steam summer sale?
They will be obtainable later. Prob 5.58
With coins
july 8

First msq minion is level 15
whats the difference between Xaen/Raen is it just horn/scale colour?
Can job quest gear go in the armoire? For example Creed Coffer, Constellation coffer, etc
No
Just the gear from the lv45/50 arr job quests
And those are an exception not the rule
Hey uhh very dumb question, so i've been playing through the free trial and been enjoying it. I saw that shadowbringers is on sale right now and I assume it has stormblood with it as well I think? So if I got it, do I also have to get the starter edition? (im on steam by the way)
is the complete edition on sale on steam?
if yes, get that
if not, then yeah get starter + shadowbringers
Permanent
you get a mount eventually
You'll get a mount eventually though
what is the purpose of a moonstone?
so this right?
yup
Ye
okay, also do I have to do anything once I get them?
I heard something about mogstation
Yes, codes go there
Retrieve CD keys and apply to your account
so where would I apply that, through the client or the actual square enix site
!faq mogstation
tyty, also theoretically speaking
could I hold off on activating the starter edition which gives me the 30 days I believe and redeem it whenever?
Yes
Ye
is there any point in getting all the aether current stuff in heavensward while im leveling through it for the firs time... i mean like will i ever be back in those areas enough to warrant using my time to get flying there
If I have my debit card set up for auto-sub but am getting a new card where do I go to switch my sub over to the new card
Yes
Collect all the currents in all the expansion zones
so i get sent back a lot?
Of course
ah ok ty
Why wouldn't it send you back
okay good, also if I just got the shadowbringers dlc on steam, it won't do anything to my acc since its free trial right?
You still get sent back to Waking Sands even in SB
idk
Is it only SB + ShB?
im 10 days old i dont know anything ok haha
Or complete edition
Yes you need to own the game
you still need starter edition
uhh just the SB and Stormblood
You need starter edition
though, you can't buy shadowbringers on steam without starter edition anyway
already has
ah okay
you can't buy shadowbringers on steam without owning the base game
like, literally
unless their starter code is already used, then they are fucked
wait... huh?
you should have a cd key for starter edition
on free trial or just SE on steam
steam
oh okay
if you bought shadowbringers on steam, then you must have bought starter edition before, or bought it with it.
ah
you can check your cd keys by right clicking the game on steam -> manage
i'm glad im able to hold onto the cd keys for SE + SB since I wouldn't know if i'd be able to play for that 30 days it gives
yeah, it is very good for when it is on discount
yes
Starter yes
you can't activate shadowbringers until you activate starter edition anyway
ah then nvm, i'll just get it since its on sale and hold on to it
you should already have it..
not yet
if you really don't want to pay for it now, then you have a better luck at getting the discount on the actual SE Store, not steam.
but I can't transfer between both right?
since I've been playing on steam's free trial
you'd probably also want to double check your steam mogstation if is shows (steam) by your account type
Yeah you can't transfer
!faq mogstation
i've seen some people buying starter edition and still is not on the steam version
for some reason
quick question: I want to gift someone a minion from the gold saucer but I cant send the whistle through mail. Is it not possible to pass on a minion?
its the heavy hatchling
hey, sorry dont really know what im doing, i got to 63 at one point years ago on my own, but where should i go to get into a free company?
Was it possible to stock all mats for exarchic before 5.4?
!item heavy hatchling whistle
!item heavy hatchling
*Currently, “baby fat” is the prevailing excuse for this cherubic chick's gigant-like girth.
Use item to acquire the heavy hatchling minion.*
20,000 MGP (Purchase)
※ Movement: Obedient
※ Type: Critter
※ Cost: 15 | HP: 360
※ Attack: 35 | Speed: 2
※ Defense: 75
Doubles the amount of HP restored to allies stationed in Gates.
Duration: 20s
uhh so im fine?
Nothing from the saucer is tradeable
@jolly hedge yeah, if you buy it on steam, then you are fine.
do you think its just smarter to play through free trial and finish heavensward then active?
Yes
well, you pay less. cause, free trial is free.
true
also besides game time, whats the point of a sub
and besides lifted restrictions of free trial
To play the rest of the game after getting expansions
I has question
My current card that I have set up for auto-pay to sub to XIV is deactivated and I'm getting a new card tomorrow
Where do I go to set up autopay on the new card so I don't get unsubbed
!faq mogstation
Here
hello, thinking of getting back into 14 but i missed the sale last week. I own the base game and heavensward on mogstation. what i want to know is if i need to buy Shadowbringers complete or will shadowbringers be enough to play?
Just shadowbringers
Do i get any time with an expansion purchase?
Never
are links allowed here?
Yes
Within reason
https://www.hrkgame.com/en/games/product/final-fantasy-xiv-shadowbringers?utm_source=www.allkeyshop.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=allkeyshop will this include the expansion prior to shadowbrigners too?
Any purchase of shadowbringers includes prior expansions
Shadowbringers always gives stormblood
Of which there's only one
ok
shadowbringers gives everything that is current with starter edition
you only need to buy the latest expansion to get the rest
basically
not 100% true
i bought collectors and am now sitting on the key unable to do anything with it
?
collectors edition of shadowbringers only is for when you have starter edition
you can't buy shadowbringers + shadowbringers collectors edition
i accidentally ended up purchasing only the collectors edition
then you also need starter edition
And you can't use the Shadowbringers collectors edition without owning the base game
its really cheap though to be honest
I bought the special edition rims for a car I don't own
i mean only the astarter edition is dead cheap on key shops
don't buy keys from key shops
I would strongly recommend not buying from key shops, as they are not authorized third party sellers
and you run the risk of losing your acct.
question: what are the level starts for each expansion
arr: 0-50
hw: 51-60
sb: 61-70
shb: 71-80
well knowing i missed the sale and its now on sale on steam which i cant use im not paying full price.
so if i buy the starter edition (NOT the complete edition) and then use the shadowbringers collectors edition i already have -- do i have the full game then? or do i still need to buy stormblood seperately?
i couldliterally buy a key for shadowbringers, lose the account. buy a new fresh account on steam and still pay less.
Also does me being overleveled matter too much? I'm like 5-10 lvls ahead of MSQ rn and im on ARR still. I'm on a road to 70 server by the way.
Yes all you need to do is buy starter edition
yeh i said its dead cheap
still annoying but not as bad
If you're on Road to 70 you'll overlevel by an absolutely disgusting amount
I reached 50 BLM at 36 MSQ
And at one point I was 16 levels over my MSQ
gahlee
whats a road to 70 server?
can you just join random pvp teams or do i have to ask 4 players individually to play with me 
Preferred servers
!faq servertype
Gdi
Preferred Worlds have The Road to 70 which doubles your exp gain from all sources while your current job is below Lv 70
cap is 80 now?
so could you exploit by getting them all to 69?
You don't need to
you mean, 60?
also I started a rogue so I can become a ninja and later switch to samurai, since it starts out at level 1 where do I even go to grind since my MSQ is like 20 sumn right now and I can't do it on my first class which was pugilist
It applies to all jobs under 70
ah, you mean the buff
It doesn't go away when 1 job hits 70
Hunt Log, FATEs and PotD up to 16, do Daily Leveling Roulette after doing your Rogue quests and getting the Brand-new gear from Halls of the Novice and you'll probably be right at 20
i have a level 50 guy on a mogstation account. If i just buy the steam version and start fresh how will it connect to SE account?
Daily leveling roulette???
So i can use the same email adress for 2 seperate accounts?
Unlocked when you unlocked and did Tam-Tara Deepcroft for MSQ
meaning a mogstation on and a steam one
It would be a completely different account
So no
yeh but can i use the same email address?
No
No
A completely new account
so if i bought the steam version it will ask me to make a mogstation account right? then when i tried to use my email it would say 'in use'
Yes
It would say something along the lines of that email already being registered to a SE account
But you wouldn't be able to log in with that SE account since you're on the Steam version
then why cant i just use the same email and continue with the character
Therefore, new account :^)
So i read you get a key when buying ffxiv on steam(im currently on the free trial on steam), if i buy the complete edition which contains starter+shadowbringers, can i still keep playing the free trial till i reach 60 and take my time then apply my key at a later date to then start counting my first 30days that are included with the starter?(as far as i know that's the case)
yes
If you don't use the code yes
is getting the game on steam really as bad as people say it is? its really cheap on there rn and want to get it
It's functionally the sane
Only downside is that it locks you to it for future expansions
alright thats great, cause i want to buy it but it's not a great time in the sense that i still have quite some stuff to do that doesn't require having the expansions so i feel it would be a waste of those 30days if say i take 15 to get to that point
Steam goes on sale less
is it possible to completely delete an account so i can buy the steam version and then use my email address?
Anyone here willing to teach me some combos ( for level 50 ) for samurai? Ik some of the basics and how to do an opener but I just don’t know how to do a combo after the finisher 😅 I’ve looked at some long and short guides alike on YouTube but it’s just not stickin.
I believe the answer is yes
Have you seen the WeskAlber guide?
i realise i will lose everything but it seems the cheaper option
ah okay, also is it good to have a main in each role so ex. ( samurai melee dps, gunbreaker tank, and red mage healer/dps is what im kinda thinking of doing) also whem should I start doing then
Flower combo > moon combo (use Iajutsu before Gekko for dot on bosses) > snow combo repeat
i dont mind restarting, i was only level 50 on maybe 2 jobs and 30 on another 2
Use stickers for dot on bosses and midare when dot is up
Red Mage is not a healer
wait really?
If you want a caster and a healer Summoner and Scholar exist though
It's a dps
ohhh
red mage has a heal but you shouldnt use it
Yea I got a good idea on how everything works for the most part but I still feel like I have a hard time following along with the combos, maybe samurai isn’t for me😅 but gotta start somewhere
its basically just dualcast fodder for raises if the boss is gone
Summoner is a Caster DPS while Scholar is a shield healer and they level up at the same time since they share Arcanist

「Level 50 Opener」
➜ Keep buffs up, reapply your Higanbana as close to 0s as possible, Midare goes brrrrrr.
「Level 52」― [Kenki Mastery I]:
➜ Introduces Kenki gauge & positionals on Gekko/Kasha. Use Kaiten exclusively on Iaijutsu (Higanbana > Midare).
「Level 60 Opener」
➜ Read Level 52.
「Level 62」― [Kenki Mastery II]:
➜ Kaiten all Iaijutsu, use excess Kenki on Shinten, use Level 70 Openers.
「Level 70 Bana 1st Opener」>「Level 70 Midare 1st Opener」
➜ Reserve Midare 1st for encounters that require you to move exactly as you need to cast Higanbana with Bana 1st opener (e.g. UCoB Twintania).
「Level 76」― [Tsubame-gaeshi]:
➜ Use exclusively after Midare Setsugekka (ST) or Tenka (AoE), never after Higanbana.
「Level 78」― [Enhanced Jinpu & Shifu]:
➜ Congratulations! You can now study up on the max level rotation and practice it on Innocence.
:^)
try putting your combos on different variations of 123
sadge, but is my plan okay tho?
for example, i have my red combo on 123, blue combo on 1 ctrl2 ctrl3, snow combo on 1 ctrl 1
so theyre all condensed there
works the same if you use qer or whatever
sam melee dps, gunbreaker tank, and ig scholar for shield/heals
i mean yeah that works
If you want then surs
play whatever you find fun
so should I level after all my MSQ or during
Some people recommend picking up one of each role as you progress into the later stages of MSQ so you have an idea of how every role works when you begin to step into endgame content
Others recommend picking one or two jobs and leveling only those until you complete 5.0
okay, cause im kinda just focusing on ninja then sam later
@dire prawn @random girder thank you so much guys😅!
but yeah try the lv 50 opener wesk alber gives you, from there you basically just repeat red sticker -> blue sticker -> white sticker
until dot runs out
when dot runs out, repeat the opener
and thats basically sam up to 80
if im playing on the free trial with the regular client can i buy it on steam and sign in with that account?
you just get more stuff during the opener and during filler
Stormblood

But
You'll be locked to Steam after buying it
ya im fine with that im not getting the collectors edition anyway
alr, i'll start after leveling sam for a little bit when im at stormblood
and its all right just having those three or do I need a ranged dps
you can upgrade to collectors edition in mogstation if you want the ingame items
I say Stormblood because 60 is when some jobs start to actually feel good (BLM)
And most jobs have basically their entire kit by the end of SB at 70
Are you suppose to get a key in your email? i just bought shadowbringerson steam since i have a steam ff14 service account but its not activated when i log into mogstation
It's in your Steam keys
Samurai/Monk is what the WoL is in canon for Stormblood :^)
Right click the game > steam keys
Help, I am running into issue with my FF14
@faint flare thanks ^^ im stoopid
Some reason it's not showing up the menu screen in my Mac
Only showing black screen
Like I can login and stuff
But not see the opening screen

eyyyy nice, I just wanted to main sam cuz of how sick they look but if they're canon thats pog
Canonically the WoL is WAR in ARR, DRG in HW, SAM/MNK in SB, DRK in ShB and PLD in EW
cuz of the trailers?

im suprised that was considered canon, I thought he just showcased some classes

70 leves left, how would you suggest finishing leveling up these crafters?
its canon for derplander, so "kinda canon". more like just posterboy for thematic reasons
warrior in arr is the one that makes the least obvious sense to me but it fits
drg in hw because haha dragon expac
sam/mnk because hingashi and gyr abania respectively
drk in shb because yknow
warrior of darkness and all that
and then pld because ff4
mc switches from drk to pld i believe
havent played that one yet
No
cuz of the "end" n stuff
We don't know but probably not
Endwalker is the end to the current storyline
Which has been a decade in the making
Starting with 6.1 we'll be in an entirely new storyline
oo
The Hydaelyn/Zodiark story ends
also I gotta say, watching the shadowbringer trailer then endwalker put me on to the game alone
okay i just cancelled my account and it says i need to contact SE
and im a ff fan lol
whats your favorite ff if i may ask
If i now buy the Steam version and use the associated email will it work?
or will it give me this again:
because its very likely theres something in here for you to point and go "I KNOW THAT THING"
You need to reactivate your account
i dont want to reactivate it
its connected to the SE edition and i cant use the Steam one
you could have just switched your email address on that account so the email would be freed up
Or added a new service account to it
this mogstation is confusing as hell
Hard to say but probably 7 as a generic answer and 13 (please don't crucify me.) Also I haven't played the older games, 9, 11, and I haven't finished 10 and 10-2 yet. I'd say the games I have played tho I loved so far, which are 7, 8, 13 trilogy, and 15.
ah dont worry i havent played 13 so i dont have an opinion on it
but some of the weapons from 7 are in the game
obviously different from how they are in 7
(ruby, emerald etc is what i mean)
eden series has a lot of stuff from 8
I saw squalls revolver blade from 8 as well
raid series from shb
also oooo
yeah squalls gunblade is the lv80 artifact weapon for gnb
artifact weapon?
goes with the artifact armor
no
basically just the job-themed set
its the collectors edition glam iirc
wait really
oh, wait huh
Yes
Yes
thought that was weathered lion heart lol sorry
The job gear is similar style
i havent played 8 so i assumed 
But not the same
"weathered" gear is lvl 80 AF gear
yeah
so I can't get it besides getting collectors???
correct
!iglam weathered lion heart
sadge
hmm yeah
!iglam revolver

wh
What
cloud's advent children clothes are from veteran rewards
Cloud is veteran reward outfit
Nocis is event which is coming September
noctis's clothes are event locked
With the regila
but no engine blade?
No
whats an engine blade
its noctis' "iconic" weapon
its not in the game
you can probabyl get something similar looking on pld
scuffed
one of the alexander, ironworks or scaevan weapons might be close enough
also it looks like this
yea
theres other wacky machine looking swords in the game
wait, do they have Brotherhood (tidus' sword)
no
the midan metal sword is close-ish
but there are blue crystal swords
wait now heres the real question, do they have the Masamune
there is nothing from ff7 except clouds advent children clothes
and his bike
but that just looks like a plain samurai sword tbh
You can get kinda close to the buster blade with a DRK dungeon weapon
They don't really add Iconic characters weapons really
!iglam Ravel Keeper’s Guillotine
Exceptions to like collectors edition stuff
You can get close to or similar esque looks
hm close
!iglam Mythrite Uchigatana
most of the ff references come in characters, trials, raids etc
plain sword
okay im kinda screwed now until i speak to support tomorrow lol
can i buy the steam version and start the install if i cant play it?
Is it better to do the Zadnor FATEs/Engagements or the 8 man raids for the Resistance Weapons?
Zadnor let's you multi task
I have the free trial version of Final Fantasy, but i bought it on steam, do i really need to re-install it all over again?
Get mettle for honors/ranking for Dalriada and farm clusters for stuff
because of how the steam version works, yes
on non-steam itd just download stormblood and shadowbringers
Okay cool, thank you!
but on steam the free trial is a separate game
so it uninstalls the trial and reinstalls the whole thing
its jank

does the steam complete come with 30 days?
Where can I buy a saw?
Heya, complete newbie here! I started as healer and I have done my research on learning to DPS when not healing but I'm having difficulty as far as targeting goes.
Is there any sort of mouse-over functionality? I'm always struggling to click around all the health bars between those who need healing and then back to the mobs.
you can write mouse-over macros for your spells
I forgot the exact command but it's pretty easy
Oh ok, so it has to be done through macros! I thought I might've been missing something in the menus. I can look into that. Thanks!
I think it's /ac "Cure II" <mo>
but don't pin me on that
the macro help menu should contain all the possible parameters for the /ac command
Where to you pick up pre order items?
Ah ok I went to the wrong moogle xD
Also is there a more distance sensitive setting as far as mob targeting goes? At least more than once in a dungeon I've pulled a mob far off that wasn't part of the pack. No one has been upset so far but I don't want to make a habit of this.
With Tab key I mean.
When i buy shadowbringers complete edition do i get the other dlcs?
Yes
if there's a way to change the targeting, I have yet to find it
Would someone max level mind running me through 'Bahamut Coil 5' as an 'Undersized Party'? I'm new, and I want to see the story. But I spent the last 90 min wiping on the dragon
I'm on Goblin Crystal
do glamour dispellers sell well on the mb?
considering to stack up on those to help keep my gil below the 300k cap until i get my purchases figured out
i dont mind some loss as long as its not too substantial
Pretty decent. They don’t sell as fast as normal glamour prisms but you can still generally make a profit from reselling them
even better, nice!
I like to sell them in stacks of 10 or 5
how long does that usually take you per stack?
It’s been forever since I’ve dealt with them so I can’t say. Check your marketboard’s history and see how fast they move
fair. guess i'll just stock up for now :p
and then move into 2.5 once im done with the prerequisites
is there a way for me to transfer to a preferred world?
you can pay real money for that
$18
but imo, only do transfer for better pings, or for a server with more your-language speakers; dont transfer for just for that exp buff
Because you don't get the buff when transferring
ohh, then definitely dont lol

is it worth prioritizing secondary stats like crit hit and hit chance etc ?
while leveling*
what's machinist main stats?
dex
I'm playing summoner unti I get to Ishgard
but I'll need gear when going from 30 and beyond as machinist
It would take me a long time to cross reference, so does anyone know off the top of their head, out of all beast tribes, how many I need to work on in order to collect all triple triad cards? I checked a website and it shows some that you need to exchange those gems for, but there are other cards I need to unlock via quests only gotten through going through beasts tribes, I think
hey i've gifted the 4 subs on twitch and everything but i still haven't received my code. it's been a couple hours. is it because i'm from latam or something
It can take up to 24hrs.
yeah, it's just that it seems most people got it instantly so i got kinda scared lol but thanks!
i don't think there are any locked behind beast tribes
just shared fate gemstones
Is there any hats/boots I can buy for my birb on market already got a saddle piece.
deleting square enix folder is fine for just uninstalling right, it wont delete stuff like hotbars and settings etc?
Yeah looks like you're right. Thanks
hello, im on the free trial leveling and alt class. and i saw some talk about items that give xp boosts. and i was just wondering how limited my options on items that give xp boosts on the free trial is
like which ones can i and cant i get
If you've done hall of the novice, you get a 30% exp ring until job level 30
i dont think i have, what lvl do you need for it? my main job is lvl 42
Before you start your first dungeon, so level 15
oh shit, where is this. i needa go do it lol
thanks
Also if you have your grand company leveled up, you can get some items that increase your exp gained for an hour
Have the nier 3 loot also been unlocked?
Also food buffs will give 3% exp gain. Any food will do, so you can buy the cheapest on the mb
hi
pls help
i just wonder if i bought the game with the dlc pack i get a month of subscription i think , but do that month start right away after i buy the game or do it start after lunching the game
i'm talking about steam btw
you have to put in the code
then your 30 day starts
you may save the code for later and start your 30 days then
it is advised to get as far as u can before doing the free trial
yeah it's a good idea to save it
i don't want to waste it
but do i receive that code if bought the game form steam ? thats my question
Yes
here i found it in promotion in steam summer sales
yes
thanks a lot
you get a code and you can ssave it for later
You type in the game key on mogstation when you transfer your character to the full game
ohhh
What's up? There's a sale for ffxiv?
For Steam
is the next ultimate going to be ||thordan or nidhogg||? when was that announced?
cuz i'm playing rn with the game client i hope i can transfer my character when i play in steam
You can
its called ||dragonsong war|| so i expect both
since they're both relevant in that fashion
thanks for the help
Are these Moogles on strike? Or do pre order items take an eternity?
thanks for the help

Does a story skip if you skip HW or SB collect all the currents or do you have to go back and collect all the open-world ones
It gives the currents, but you can still do the quests just cause
if im on famfrit and my friend is on ultros, can we play togehter?
okay thanks
https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/topics/detail/7ba82d0fbd072e2aacca091a0b73bb377a7fb821 okay was I imagining it or something but I thought there was mention that this list of streamers will get expanded as the thing goes on, Like did I made that up or what
Hey need some help for a friend, if he bought Shadowbringers on Steam and wants to upgrade from the free version, does he put in the key of the Starter Edition first, then Shadowbringers after? Cause he says it's not accepting his Shadowbringers key
hey guys, is there a cooldown on joining a FC after leaving one?
So why are they doing a promotion on random twitch streamers? What’s so special about them? One of them hasn’t even been live for a week.
Nope. It’s how I got into my current fc, after leaving one without a home.
cool, thank you
go to mail, requesy delivery, then restart game
why are pvp q's so long..
and why does it say less than 5 minutes but ive been waiting for 2 hours 
pvp q's usually only pop around 6-8 hours ago
i mean they do pop any time but its hard rn with eden unlocked
whats eden
oh

hopefully itll pop soon so i can get a mask for wolf marks and never do pvp again 
goodluck 
I am playing SMN and i dont know what i am doing. Level 38 so far. I don’t think I am blasting monsters in dungeon but often times I am the top dps. I have no clue why.
guys, i am hitting my 300k gil cap very soon for a trial player, wad can i buy to store the gil with?
Welcome to the club, 48 SMN here and I definitely don't know what I'm doing
Nothing
For healers / tanks, is Zadnor faster for leveling from 71 to 80 than dungeon spam?
Beast Tribe mounts
but you'll need max rep with the beast tribes
haha i havent even started a single beast quest
those are like 100k if I remember
i heard u can buy materials now, and sell them on marketboards later when i go pro?
If I buy an ARR skip do I still get MSQ only rewards like the Magitek Armor mount and Fantasia from The Ultimate Weapon?
yes
yes, but not the fantasia i think
you dont get fantasia
you can, but the prices might change, its better than nothing though, you can buy stuff like dyes to resell.
if items are available from vendors, why do pple bother buying from market boards?
dont underestimate laziness
yea, I logged out/in and was all good.
people could teleport and run to a vendor and look through a list of dyes for 200 gil. Or they could just go to a nearby marketboard a purchase one for 500 gil.
like depending on the situation, the teleport might cost more than just buying the dye from the MB outright
lol, im not interested in estate or furniture in free companies
is gil going to be impt to me?

You'll need foods and pots for end game raiding, you can buy those with gil, if you don't intend to craft
i see, so what kind of dye shld i be buying that will still be in demand 2 months from now
and its a quick way to gear other jobs as the latest tomestone gears are timegated.
Beast tribe dyes usually sell well because people can't be assed with the rep grind
you'll have to do your own research, prices change all the time
ok, wad does time gate mean
like theres a cap on the number of tomestones you can earn a week (like 450/ though its 900 now)
for the latest gear,
right now the tomestone gear is i520 that can be upgraded to i530
this is not tome of poetics right
is it true you can now level all your desynth?
yes
yes
awesome
i hit the trial gil cap, what do i sink it into?
Beast Tribe mounts, levelling crafters, but vendor mats to resell in the future
ok, maybe i shld buy food now, wad kind of food shld i be stocking up on
the food that you want for endgame is crafted
you wont find them on vendors
damn....
Certain gathering nodes are only available at certain times in Eorzea time, like rosemary is 1700-2000, or rose gold is 0900-1200. In ARR, these nodes have a single window per day for 3-4 hours, in other expansions it's typically twice a day, 12 hours apart, for 2 hours each like 0800-1000 and 2000-2200
Wait, you meant in regard to tomestones
I'm sorry
its ok, i understand, timegate is a general term for locked due to time
say i complete e9s as a dnc and i get a coffer. can i switch to drk, open the coffer and the gear for drk?
Yes
nice. ty
That's why coffers were introduced, so you can't get gear for a job you don't play
Oh, you don't get weapon coffers for that?
and can i redo the job quests?
e12s gives a weapon coffer and a weapon
like read the dialogues and watch cutscenes?
Using New Game+, yes, but you won't get any quest rewards, and you have to complete and entire tier (like 30-50, 50-60 etc) to unlock it in NG+
ok. nice
Navigating Limsa Lominsa is a genuine PITA.
It's mostly the staricases
its mostly just the hangout around the aethercrystal
connect to the aethernet and you won't need to navigate it anymore
Yea there is no port to the spot I need to go to so no
hi folks and ? where is the lvl 60 blue or what gear is located ?
Poetics gear? It’s in idyllshire then Ishgard after you beat 3.0
Hello everyone, I have a random furnishing question...Is there a reason why when I buy the crystal boule it does not shine like the videos on youtube show?
i was trying to make a free trial account but it says its already a service account what does that mean?
What videos? They may be using reshade/postprocessing filters to make colours more vibrant
Custom build night club/disco 'Hades' on the Crystal Datacenter, Zalera Server, Ward 13, Plot 30.
maybe you have to turn it on?
"Unable to download patch files" [30413][25008][10009] error
there a proven workaround? the only one I see is to use a VPN but I get 1/10th of the download rate on my vpn
Is it just because you have the lights turned up?
!faq quicklauncher
try sending a picture of it
anyone know what a service account is and why i cant do the free trial cause of it?
huh, I'll try this
Service Account is self-explanatory, it's an account for the game.
If you can't do the free trial it's because you already own the game and have it registered to your service account.
You can't go back to the free trial.
ive never bought it or registered ut
What message are you getting
Either you're getting a message telling you you already own the game
or...you just haven't made an account
Square Enix accounts that have already registered for a FINAL FANTASY XIV service account are not eligible for a free trial.
Please log in using a Square Enix account that has not registered a FINAL FANTASY XIV service account.
you are probably misremembering that account never having bought stuff
this happens every so often in this channel
i never have bought it only registered game is avengers
show us what it says on this page
do what Lyon said to verify
it says account type free trial but i cant log in on launcher
!faq freetrial
i use the one the email said download
If it doesn't say Free Trial (Steam)
but just Free Trial
then go to the download link there and get the free trial client.
Then ensure you log in with the same account details you used to log into mogstation.
it doesnt say free trial and its not on steam
Then you bought the game at some point in time
OK you're on the free trial
so download the free trial launcher from the link we gave you and log in on it.
!faq freetrial
^ do this
how do i switch from pld to lancer ifI wanna level a dps from lvl 1
What level are you now?
Go to the lancers' guild in Gridania and do the blue quest.
would it say free trial on the laucher itself?
So You Want To Be A Lancer
The link we gave you is correct
no need to second-guess us.
hey guys, what's the best way to get crypt twine to upgrade to augmented cryptlurker? hunt trains?

Manufactured coin from Copied Factory
Puppets' Coin from Puppets' Bunker
Breach coin from Tower

Just to check
Are you leaving the one-time password field blank?
Do so.
what the whys it reuired then? and that worked ty
It's not required.
oh
It says "optional" right there on it.
It's 2FA
You can choose to enable it if you like.
Then you will need to enter a 1-time code using a 2FA code generation app every time you log in.

Hey guys quick question:
Does the 60% off FFXIV sale on steam right now come with a 30-day gametime?
What is he sitting on?
how about EndWalker?
both are affected by the same, and are bundled in the complete edition which is on sale
expansions do not give play time
endwalker will not
Oh shoot.... oh well its okay.. planning to re-sub before Endwalker comes out... im still at Stormblood beginning part storyline.. do u think i have enough time to finish the latest story before EW?
you have a bit under 5 months so
From stormblood? Without a doubt.
yes plenty of time
I see, alright. Thanks mates! EW hype is real! Especially now that WoW is getting some pretty hard hit on their playerbase due to 9.1's terrible updates

I went to mogstation to use the activation code to upgrade from trial and received a i2501 error :c

also my download speeds suck balls on this launcher
Heyo, does anyone have tips for finding barse parties? PF is dry, even during the evenings.
a hypothetical question
if i buy a new starter edition can i use the code to somehow
give me play time?
on another existing game
Probably not?
damn
@cedar hawkYou can as long as it's for a platform you don't own unless you wanted to buy the steam version when you actually own the standard version
The code is most likely tied to the version of the game. So I'd say it's probably not likely to work
Well like I said it will always work unless you own one version of the pc license and are trying to buy the other
That would just be putting you in a position of having to make a new account to use it
Can you grow things in your free company's garden?
Oh and trying to double up on the same license doesn't work
If you have permission to use it, yes
I must be reading it wrong then. I thought he meant using the free time from one account to another
In the past, those kinds of codes were account specific
Honestly not even sure what you mean because there isn't a code for the free time from the starter edition
Just the starter edition code
they are one and the same yeah
you redeem the starte edition as a whole, you get the sub time, because you're being put on a sub
This is all confusing as hell
how do i do free trial through steam
Take part in an epic and ever-changing FINAL FANTASY as you adventure and explore with friends from around the world! Experience all the hallmarks of the best-selling franchise - airships, chocobos, moogles, and more.In the updated Free Trial version of the FINAL FANTASY XIV, you’ll now be able to play as your favourite FINAL FANTASY class up to...
83
i clicked play but thenit says i dont have license for the full game
how exactly is aetherial mimicry used? do i have to use it before entering the duty itself?
I spent all the gil I had on the post shadowbringers mainstory quest in order to get to the minimum item level requirements, just as a sort of band-aid fix to get through the content on my msq job. Considering I am fully out of Gil, as I begin to level alts I will have none to use to get entry level gear for higher end content. Is there a city where you can spend tombstones and the like to gear up alt classes, like what rhalgrs reach offers for level 70 jobs, what idyllshire offers for 60, etc. Etc. I'm almost at the end of 5.5 so I might not have reached it yet, or might've missed it entirely
You need to use it if you're going into a duty without a role you want to mimic
You can spend allegory and revelation in eulmore
You're literally just copying the role
oop ty ropter
yes
you just suck them up at a hub and you have it until you cancael it or swap
That is how you acquire level 80 tomestone gear -- poetics is old expansions only
use it outside of a duty in a town or something
what ilvl is the tomestone gear if you don't mind me asking? I got all 510 pieces when I bought them because that was the highest available in the marketplace and just seemed like it would save me trouble down the line
tome is ilvl520 with possible upgrade to 530
lexy your sin has been recorded
you didnt see anything
but yes that. the other tomestone is less than 510
LOL those numbers were movin and groovin
you can also upgrade the crafted from 510 to 520 using allegory
Okay thats excellent! Ty for the info all
When endwalker expansion releases I have to pay for expansion and the monthly sub for access?
yes
Jesus wtf?
you pay once for the expansio nthen 15 for the sub for every month
It's so expensive
it's how it's always been
yeah
mmos are objectively more expensive for more content one can do
i will not disagree at all if it drives you off
wow is like that
my buddy can't get in the game it keeps saying "reactivate service account" when he tries to sign in can anyone help me out?
But why people pay for it
To be fair, none-MMO’s charge a lot for DLC’s as well. I won’t deny that XIV is expensive, but I think expansion costs are reasonable.
keeps the servers up
MMOs have a lot of servers they need to keep on all the time compared to other games

idk what he did but it doesn't seem like a big issue to turn it back on
if i buy the game on steam can i still wait to redeem it?
